Leah Lykins thinks college isn't the only path to a good career, and she's built worker-first tools that prove it. Leah is the co-founder of Where We Go, a public benefit corporation connecting people who are ready to work with the programs ready to train them, and the co-founder of Camp Chateau, an adult women's sleepaway camp in a French château.In this episode, Leah explains why the infrastructure that keeps a country running, from clean energy to advanced manufacturing to the electrical grid, needs people desperately, and how the right framing turns a career nobody has heard of into one worth getting out of bed for. She also shares how she and her mother bought a château for the price of a San Francisco apartment, funded the first location with 150 women, and filled the second in seven days.If you are rethinking your next move, or want to build a business that actually fits your life, this one is worth your time.Chapters:

In this episode, I sit down with Scott Mason, also known as The Myth Slayer. Scott is a speaker, author, leadership coach, and former attorney whose own transformational journey led him from a successful career on paper to discovering a deeper calling rooted in purpose, self-awareness, and personal growth.

Networking gets a bad reputation. And honestly? It's earned it.For most people, the word conjures images of awkward small talk, business cards nobody keeps, and conversations that feel more like auditions than actual human connection. It feels transactional. It feels fake. And for a lot of women, especially, it feels like a game they were never taught how to play.But what if the problem isn't networking itself — it's the way we've been taught to think about it?On the 2B Bolder Podcast, host Mary Killelea sits down with Monique Kelley — professor, consultant, and author of Redefining Networking: How to Lead with Your Unique Value, an Amazon #1 Bestseller in Business Ethics — to completely reframe what networking is, what it isn't, and why getting it right might be the single most important career move you make.Monique is a two-time PRNEWS Top Women in PR award recipient, a founding member of CHIEF, and has been featured in FOX and Fast Company. She's built a career working with some of the biggest names in biopharma — Pfizer, Roche, Lilly, Johnson & Johnson — not by chasing opportunities, but by building meaningful relationships that opened doors long after the conversation ended. Today she teaches the only Career Readiness course at Boston University's College of Communication, shaping how the next generation of professionals show up, connect, and lead.This conversation covers it all — her career journey from a pre-med detour into communications and healthcare PR, the moment she stepped in to present to a major client when her boss was out and realized that relationships matter just as much as the deck, and the pivots that took her from agency life to in-house roles to fractional consulting and eventually the classroom.Mary and Monique dig into the real stuff:What most people fundamentally get wrong about networking — and why that misunderstanding is costing them real opportunitiesWhat "leading with your value" actually means in practice, not just as a concept but as a daily behaviorA clear, three-step framework for defining your unique value, choosing the right audience, and showing up consistently — on LinkedIn and beyondWhy your network isn't a list of contacts. It's a living system of people who understand what you bring and actively want to advocate for youHow to build a network from scratch when you feel like you have nothing to offer and nowhere to startWhy remote work and meeting overload are making organic connection harder than ever — and what to do about itThe truth about "I don't have time to network" (spoiler: it's a prioritization issue, not a time issue)What Monique is seeing right now across executives, students, and mid-career professionals — and the specific behaviors she notices in women who are actually building momentumWhat she teaches her Career Readiness students at BU that experienced professionals desperately need to hearAnd the one thing she wishes she had understood earlier about building a career that lastsWhether you're in the middle of a career transition, feeling stuck in a role that no longer fits, or just dreading the next industry event — this episode will completely shift how you think about connection, value, and what it actually means to build a career on your own terms.

What happens when the career you've worked decades to build no longer aligns with the life you want to live? In this inspiring episode, Allison sits down with entrepreneur and Sun Drunk founder Cat Lepetit to discuss her remarkable journey from leading some of the world's most recognizable beauty brands to building a thriving lifestyle business rooted in joy, purpose, and coastal living. After spending more than two decades climbing the corporate ladder with companies like Sephora, Benefit Cosmetics, Makeup Forever, and Murad, Cat found herself questioning what success truly meant. The COVID-19 pandemic became a catalyst for reflection, prompting her to reevaluate her priorities, reconnect with herself, and imagine a different future. Cat shares the behind-the-scenes story of leaving corporate leadership, navigating uncertainty, exploring multiple business ideas, and ultimately receiving the inspiration that became Sun Drunk—a beach lifestyle brand designed to bring happiness, color, and ease into everyday life. Throughout the conversation, Cat opens up about the challenges of reinvention, the importance of listening to your intuition, embracing discomfort, and having the courage to start over—even when others don't understand your vision. Whether you're dreaming of launching a business, considering a major career pivot, or simply seeking more alignment in your life, this episode will encourage you to trust yourself, take the next step, and create a life that feels as good as it looks.

Most women founders never sell the business they built. Alisha Pennington wants to change that, and she says the block is not financial literacy. It is identity.In this episode, I sit down with Alisha Pennington, founder of Exette and a consultant who scaled and sold her own multi-seven-figure staffing agency. Only about 1% of female founders ever exit, and Alisha breaks down why: a lack of women we can point to who have done it, and the emotional attachment that keeps us holding on long after the business stops serving us.We get into the idea that your business is an asset, not your baby. We talk about building for optionality from day one, what "be ready so you don't have to get ready" actually looks like, and her vision for women buying and selling businesses to each other instead of letting them quietly disappear.If you are building toward a million and wondering what comes after, this one is worth your time.Chapters:

Do you think your warehouse full of inventory is the most valuable part of your home staging business?In this episode of The Real Women Real Business Podcast mini-series, How to Sell Your Home Staging Business, Shauna Lynn Simon tackles one of the biggest misconceptions in the staging industry: the belief that inventory determines business value. While furniture, artwork, accessories, and decor are essential tools of the trade, buyers are not focused on what you spent. They are focused on what those assets produce.Shauna Lynn breaks down the difference between selling inventory and selling a business, explains why buyers evaluate earning power over furniture costs, and shares how productive inventory can support value while unproductive inventory can create drag. She also reveals why some home staging businesses sell for far more than the value of their warehouse contents and highlights the often-overlooked intangible assets that make a business truly attractive to buyers.Whether you plan to sell in the next year or simply want to build a stronger, more profitable company today, this episode will help you start viewing your business through a buyer's lens and make smarter decisions about growth, profitability, and long-term value.Timestamps:(00:09) - (04:27) - Why your inventory is not the same thing as your business value(04:28) - (08:50) - How buyers evaluate staging inventory based on revenue potential(08:51) - (13:28) - Why selling inventory alone is different from selling an operating business(13:29) - (17:37) - How inventory is handled in a business sale and what supports value(17:38) - (21:45) - The invisible assets that make your inventory more profitable(21:46) - (24:57) - How to build a more sellable business with stronger systems and assets Resources:Get your "Is Your Home Staging Business Sellable?" ebook free when you use promo code SELL100: https://slsacademy.com/sellreadyLearn more about the Sell Your Staging Business Bootcamp (and claim your spot): https://slsacademy.com/sellyourbiz

Send me a text message and get your questions answered on the podcast! I'd love to hear from you! If you've ever scrolled LinkedIn, seen a flood of “new contract signed” posts, and quietly wondered why demand seems to find everyone but you, we're getting honest about what's really happening and why it messes with your confidence.Demand is often shaped by trust signals that sit outside your credentials: visibility, reputation, relationships, institutional credibility, and the kind of proximity that makes buyers feel safe choosing you. For women in consulting, especially women of color, those signals are not evenly accessible, which is why the market can feel confusing even when your expertise is solid and your client results are strong.If you're ready to stop internalizing the gap and start building demand with intention, listen through and take notes.

Dr. Sian Proctor grew up the daughter of a NASA hidden figure, with the stars in her sights until a pair of glasses at age fourteen seemed to close the door on her dream of becoming a military aviator. She kept reaching anyway, pursuing a career in geoscience and science communication, coming agonizingly close to NASA selection before receiving a rejection that sent her life in a different direction. In this episode, Dr. Sian Proctor talks about the long, winding road from that childhood dream to becoming the first Black woman to pilot a spacecraft; hitting a low point after a painful divorce; and the unexpected creative awakening that ultimately launched her to space. And once she got there, she did what she's always done: made art.

In this episode I chat to returning guest and founder of Her Legals Ingrid Fernandez.  We chatted way back in 2022 and since then AI has become HUGELY mainstream throwing up all sorts of joys and stresses for small business owners. We chatted about the essential AI clauses every small business owner needs in their contracts from ensuring brand transparency to preventing clients from "training" AI on your creative work. This conversation is an absolute essential listen if you've been worried about how AI could impact your business.  Key Takeaways The Transparency Clause: Clearly define how AI is (and isn't) used in your business processes to build trust and reassure clients that your deliverables are human-made . Restricting Work for AI Training: Protect your intellectual property by including clauses that prohibit clients from feeding your custom designs or content into AI models to create "cheap replicas" . Privacy Policy Audits: Update your privacy documents at least annually to reflect any new AI tools or third-party subscriptions that might touch client data . Human Discernment is Non-Negotiable: AI is designed to "please," not necessarily to be accurate. Always verify AI-generated output for context, facts, and technical correctness . Assume Best Intentions First: Many contract breaches involving AI are accidental. Use clear legal boundaries as a tool for dialogue and education rather than immediate litigation . Episode Highlights 03:15: Why AI cannot replace the technical expertise of a specialist lawyer or designer . 05:50: How AI usage impacts a client's ability to trademark their branding . 09:20: Real-life stories of clients using AI to avoid paying designers for variations of work . 14:10: The "Reputational Risk" of using AI: Why people want to buy from humans, not robots . 23:45: The importance of auditing your "third-party" tool list every six months . 30:45: How AI "sloppiness" (like changing a speaker's face in a headshot) can damage your brand . 40:50: Why a spirit of repair and transparency is more effective than a "cease and desist" . About the Guest Ingrid Fernandez is the founder of Her Legals, a legal firm dedicated to helping women in business secure their contracts, terms and conditions, and privacy compliance. She specialises in making the law accessible and transparent for small business owners.

Odessa Jenkins built a professional women's tackle football league before anyone believed the market existed.On this episode of Dear FoundHer, host Lindsay Pinchuk talks with Odessa Jenkins, known as OJ, founder and CEO of the Women's National Football Conference. Her story carries a lesson female founders everywhere need to hear. You don't wait for permission to build something new. You describe your vision so clearly the right people see it before a single game is played. That's how OJ won over ten teams and two major sports brands while the league was still an idea on paper.This is the kind of conversation women in business rarely get to hear. OJ worked a full-time job while selling the league. She convinced her wife to leave a corporate career and build alongside her. Bootstrapping kept the lights on for five years and profit didn't arrive until year three. None of those details show up on a TV broadcast, yet every one of them shaped what the WNFC has become. Sixteen teams, 900 athletes, and a championship game airing live on ESPN2.Female founders will recognize themselves in OJ's honesty about startup funding, partnership marketing with brands like Adidas, and the unglamorous work behind a bold mission. Her message cuts through the noise. Ready isn't real. Ask for what you need. Stop choosing the hardest path when an easier one exists.If you're drawn to real founder stories with heart and grit, this episode will stay with you long after you press pause.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Female Founders Who Build Before the Blueprint Exists03:05 How Odessa Jenkins Started the WNFC08:26 Getting Adidas and Riddell to Back a League That Didn't Exist Yet11:13 Bootstrapping, Profit, and the Real Timeline14:43 How the Public Responded in Year One22:41 Fan Growth, Streaming Numbers, and National TV24:53 Flag Football, the Athlete Pipeline, and What's Coming27:55 Why the Timing Is Right for Women's Sports Right Now31:17 Championship Weekend at Ford Center34:28 Three Things Every Woman Starting a Business Needs to HearConnect with Odessa Jenkins:Follow OJ on InstagramFollow Women's National Football Conference on InstagramSubmit your most pressing business questions for our Q+A Substack on Thursday: https://form.jotform.com/260218655668062 Subscribe to The FoundHer Files Follow Dear FoundHer on Instagram Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

Is your short-term rental truly set up to cash flow, or are you just hoping the market will do the heavy lifting for you? Most hosts look at dynamic pricing as a "set it and forget it" tool, but real revenue strategy requires getting behind the wheel of your data.In this episode, I sit down with Colorado host and revenue strategist Melissa Stewart, the founder of Rev Collective. Melissa scaled from zero to four high-performing mountain cabins in under two years by combining a value-add investment blueprint with a highly intentional, data-driven revenue management strategy.We talk about:Buying distressed mountain properties for maximum negotiating power, doing a full gut rehab to build equity, and leveraging a smart refi to roll into the next deal.Moving past simple bulleted descriptions to craft narrative-driven listing copy that makes guests feel like they are walking through a storybook.What a "healthy" MPI looks like, how to recognize if you are underpriced or overpriced, and why treating dynamic pricing tools like autopilot is a massive mistake.Designing interior and exterior spaces with a strict guest avatar in mind—from luxury robes and sound machines to curated coffee and tea stations.Shifting your mindset around money as energy, shedding old financial stories, and building wealth that creates real opportunities for other women in hospitality.Melissa pulls back the curtain on how her background in accounting and data analysis gave her a unique edge in the short-term rental market. You'll hear how she bridges the gap between high-end hospitality and cold, hard data, and how she built her company specifically to empower women hosts who love the guest experience but feel overwhelmed by numbers and tech.If you are ready to stop guessing on your pricing, master your local pacing, and inject serious intention into your operations, this conversation will completely redefine your approach to revenue. Get ready to stop relying on market luck and start commanding the rates your property deserves.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS:[01:14] A short introduction about our guests Melissa Stewart and shared her journey from exiting a business to getting into the short-term rental industry[03:06] Melissa reflects on how a background in real estate and a desire for lifestyle-driven wealth building led her and her husband into the world of short-term rentals[05:30] How strategic investing, leveraging equity, and taking bold action helped Melissa scale from one short-term rental property to four in a relatively short time[07:36] Melissa and I dive into how taking on distressed properties, embracing renovation challenges, and viewing obstacles as opportunities helped accelerate equity growth and STR success[12:31] How embracing problems, adapting quickly, and treating short-term rental hosting as a constant problem-solving business is essential for long-term success [14:36] Melissa unpacks how creating intentional five-star guest experiences, strategic branding, and emotionally driven listings became the foundation of cash-flowing STR properties at the top of the market[21:10] Melissa highlights how overlooking listing strategy after investing heavily in a property is a common mistake, and how emotional storytelling and optimization are key to turning beautiful homes into booked STRs[24:54] How STR success depends not just on design, but on operations, pricing, and listing strategy working together to drive higher nightly rates and long-term profitability[28:08] Melissa shares how her passion for entrepreneurship, wealth building, and supporting women in business ultimately led her to launch The Rev Collective[34:16] Melissa's emphasis on active revenue management as a critical profit driver that requires strategy, oversight, and expertise beyond Pricelabs[38:15] Melissa's guidance on using listing optimization, market pacing, and key revenue metrics to make smarter pricing decisions and improve booking performance [43:23] The lightning round Golden Nuggets:“Know your obstacles. That way when they come, they're opportunities.”“We cannot leave any stone unturned when it comes to positioning ourselves for getting that booking, these guests have so many options in front of them on the OTAs.”“If you're not operating well, your reviews are not going to be what you need them to be, and you're going to fall to your competition in the marketing.”“Stick to doing things that you're good at and delegate the rest.”“If your ultimate goal is to cash flow to build wealth in this real estate, you know, gig that you've got going, if that's your goal, then revenue management should be your top priority when it comes to running your business, because that's how you make your moneyLet's Connect:Website : www.revcollective.co Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/itsmelissastewart Enjoyed the show?

Your podcast can be heartfelt and still be strategic.  I'm joined by Jordan Blair, a podcast producer at Buzzsprout and co-host of BuzzCast, to unpack the real-world basics that separate podcasts that fade out from podcasts that grow. We start with something deceptively simple: your “why.” Jordan shares how clarity of purpose shapes everything from topic choices to guest selection to podcast marketing, and why listeners only return when they know exactly what they'll get every time they press play.From there, we get practical about podcast audio quality and listener experience. Jordan explains why “good enough” audio is mostly about removing distractions, and how modern tools can help indie creators sound polished without a studio. Then we move into the part most creators underestimate: engagement. We talk parasocial relationships, how to turn listeners into superfans, and how features like Buzzsprout Fan Mail can make it easy for people to reach you with feedback, questions, and even voice messages you can use in future episodes.We also cover consistency without burnout, including giving yourself permission to take a break, how to communicate it clearly, and how Dynamic Content can place a timely announcement across your back catalog and remove it later. Finally, Jordan breaks down podcast monetization without the pressure, why listener support can beat ads, and how sponsorships can create stress if you're not careful. If you're starting a podcast, restarting after a slump, or trying to make your show sustainable, you'll leave with concrete next steps.Link to Buzzsprout's official podcast about podcasting!Subscribe to Connect Inspire Create for more grounded creator conversations, share this with a podcaster friend, and if it helps you, leave a quick review so more indie creators can find it.Let me know what you'd like to hear more about on the showSupport the showI'm Carol Clegg, your host, an accountability coach and curious conversationalist inviting guests from a wide range of backgrounds to share insights on how they live, think, and navigate change.If you enjoy reflection, fresh perspectives, and honest dialogue, this space is for you.If you'd like to experience this work in community, I host a complimentary monthly Accountability Circle  a supportive space to pause, gain clarity, and choose a gentle next step forward.

Have you started worrying that your brand sounds just like everyone else's, no matter how many “expert” tips you use to write in your 'own voice'? On this episode of She's The Business Podcast, I'm challenging the whole idea that we need to focus on chasing audience growth first, and instead, show you that it's much easier to grow an audience if you find your own voice first so you can stand out with confidence and a distinctly different feel. So many women in business are taught to edit themselves, to try and sound the way they “should” rather than how they want. But what if that's exactly what's making you invisible? It's time to get a little rebellious and talk about how you can connect with the right people by being unmistakably yourself. Joining me for this important discussion is the fabulous Julia Michelle, a former ER nurse who became a brand voice strategist after navigating her way through building her own brand - with zero business or marketing experience! She's an expert in helping women move past the traditional marketing rules, find their vibe, and speak with clarity and real conviction. Here's what we explore in this episode: Why is “audience first marketing” a trap, and what should we focus on instead? What does it really mean to develop a brand voice that fits who you are? How can you start recognising (and letting go of) the pressure to follow trends and copy others? How do you take a firm stand in your messaging without feeling like you have to be loud or controversial? What practical steps can you take to sound like you… and actually attract your ideal clients? If you're ready to earn trust, show off your expertise, and start attracting clients who truly get you, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Bring a notebook! About our guest: Julia Michelle's professional journey began in the fast-paced environment of emergency nursing, where she developed a deep appreciation for attention to detail and learned to balance critical thinking with intuition. These skills became the foundation of her next chapter when she transitioned from ER nursing to entrepreneurship in 2020. Since then, Julia has dedicated her work to empowering women to confidently express themselves in business without being constrained by the expectations or opinions of others. Her passion for brand voice began when an early client, Rebecca, hired her to rewrite her website. Within just a week of launching the new site, Rebecca's private therapy practice was fully booked and operating with a waitlist. The experience sparked Julia's fascination with the power of authentic messaging. As she continued studying brand voice and marketing, Julia noticed a common pattern: many women were being taught to follow conventional marketing rules rather than trust their own expertise and unique perspectives. Today, she helps women challenge outdated marketing myths, understand the true meaning of branding and brand voice, and recognize the details that make communication impactful. Through her work, Julia encourages women to speak with confidence, embrace authenticity, and share their message in a way that feels genuinely their own.

So many business owners are pouring their energy into creating more content, improving their visibility, tweaking their messaging, and chasing reach. Meanwhile, they've got discovery calls they never followed up on, warm leads sitting in their inbox, referral partners they haven't spoken to in months, and past clients who would happily buy again if they were simply invited. This episode is about shifting your focus from constantly attracting new people to making better use of the opportunities already sitting in front of you. I walk you through what sales maxxing actually means in practice. No sleazy tactics. No awkward scripts. No pressure. Just becoming more proactive about conversations, relationships, follow-up, objections, referrals, and helping people move from interest to commitment. Because sales isn't about convincing people to buy. It's about making it easier for the right people to say yes.

What happens when a lifelong inventor falls in love with pickleball and decides the sport deserves something better?In this episode, we talk with Mae Romero, an inventor, entrepreneur, lifelong problem solver, and founder of Okto Pickleball. Mae shares how growing up on a farm and learning to weld at just seven years old helped shape her confidence, creativity, and ability to figure things out for herself. She has spent her life building things, both literally and creatively, and over the years has taken multiple products from concept to national retail. When pickleball entered her life, it sparked a whole new chapter. For Mae, invention and pickleball have a lot in common — both require resilience, adaptability, and the willingness to keep solving problems in front of you.Mae talks about how her love for the game led her to create Okto, a brand focused on gear that is not only functional, but intentional and empowering for pickleball players. She shares what it looks like to move from seeing a need to designing a solution, and how her life as an inventor has shaped the way she approaches the game. Along the way, we explore creativity, entrepreneurship, confidence, and what it means to trust your own ideas enough to bring them into the world.This is an inspiring conversation about pickleball, invention, entrepreneurship, women in business, creativity, resilience, product design, Okto Pickleball, innovation, confidence, and the life lessons that remind us to trust ourselves, stay curious, and keep building what we wish existed.https://oktogear.com/

In today's episode, we talk about the voice you hear more than anyone else: your own.The one shaping your confidence, your decisions, your relationships and every area of your life.We explore what happens when you become so used to that voice and why so many people believe being hard on themselves is the key to success.But here's the question: If the voice in your head was your roommate, would you actually want to live with them? And is your inner dialogue lifting you up or holding you back?This episode is an invitation to become more aware of the way you speak to yourself, reflect on the impact it has on your life and challenge the belief that self-criticism leads to success.We talk about how you can start shaping an inner dialogue that truly supports the person you're becoming and the life you want to build.We also share a powerful exercise to help you begin shifting that conversation.If you're ready to surround yourself with inspiration, opportunities and women who dream big, join us at the most expansive event of the year for women: Business & Dreams Summit.

In this powerhouse episode, I sit down with globally recognized business advisor, multi-business founder, and author Ashley Deland for a conversation that is equal parts raw, real, and deeply inspiring. She opens up about her journey from climbing the corporate ladder at ideaCity alongside world changemakers, to building and exiting multiple businesses, including Canada's first soy-free vegan restaurant, to now leading a portfolio of brands across 17 countries, generating over 25 million dollars in collective revenue. We get honest about burnout, the price of ambition, and what it really costs when you override your body's signals in pursuit of success. Ashley also shares her perspective on motherhood and entrepreneurship, the guilt that comes with missing seasons, and why the willingness to look in the mirror is what separates the women who hold their success from those who watch it slip through their fingers.

Everyone loves to go searching for a shiny new strategy – because that's the reason you keep hitting the same income cap right?!But what if I told you, the problem often isn't your strategy – it's YOU. I know, I know…But after over 7 years in business I've watched so many capable, ambitious women do everything right on paper and still not hit their goals. And the hardest thing to admit (because strategy is always the easiest thing to change) is that the ceiling isn't out there – it's internal.And that's exactly why I wanted Jess Pinili to join me on today's episode of the How I Do Content Podcast.Jess is a business strategist, membership founder, and the woman behind my favourite TikTok business audits. She works at the intersection of business strategy and subconscious identity work – helping women figure out what's actually going on beneath the surface when the strategy should be working but isn't.In this episode we get into the subconscious reasons you keep hitting an income cap and what self-sabotage actually looks like in a high-achieving woman's business (spoiler alert: it's a lot sneakier than you think).This one went deep and I loved every second of it – I think you will too.CONNECT WITH JESSICA PINILIFollow Jess on Instagram @jesspiniliWatch Jess's YouTube Channel at https://www.youtube.com/@jesspinili Watch the Think Like a CEO Free Masterclass at https://thinklikeaceo.jessicapinili.com/ Find out more at https://www.jessicapinili.com/ WANT MORE?Watch my 13 minute One Offer, 5 Angles Mini Training at https://thesocialbolt.com.au/mini-training/ Join the Micro Messaging Waitlist at https://thesocialbolt.com.au/messaging-waitlist/ Follow me on Instagram at http://www.instagram.com/thesocialbolt Find out more at https://www.thesocialbolt.com.au TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODEhitting an income cap, why my launch flopped, self-sabotage in business, subconscious blocks to success, business mindset for women, why smart women self-sabotage, income ceiling in business, why I keep getting the same results, subconscious identity work, business strategy and mindset, why my business isn't growing, fear of visibility in business, procrastination in business, women in business mindset, breaking through income plateau, inner work for business owners, why success feels uncomfortable, business personal developmentBackground Music is Copyright Free.

Mo catches up with old friend Tamara Mosly who took over her mother's 38-year-old business: Fantasy Party. What began as a family venture has evolved into one of Saudi Arabia's most recognisable local brands, bringing joy to generations of children through events, gifts, toys, costumes, and celebrations. Tamara reflects on her mother's legacy of building and growing the business during a very different era in Saudi Arabia, in an industry that was once viewed rather unconventional. Together, Mo and Tamara explore the responsibilities of parenthood, the realities of burnout, and the ongoing journey of finding purpose, fulfillment, and joy in an ever-evolving world. 0:00 Intro3:16 Facing Tradition as Women in Business5:37 Lessons from a Strong Mother7:43 Growing Up Saudi & Lebanese9:41 School, Rebellion & Street Smarts12:02 Applying to the Ivy League… and Getting Rejected14:00 Growing Up Inside the Family Business15:37 The Golden Era of Children's Parties20:02 Returning to Saudi Arabia During Vision 203021:27 Building the F1 Jeddah Guest Experience22:26 Bringing the British Museum to Madinah24:00 Witnessing Saudi Arabia's Transformation Firsthand25:04 Training 300 Saudi Drivers for Formula 128:13 Why Saudi Teams Outperformed Expectations32:19 From Formula 1 to the Red Sea Film Festival34:42 Miscarriage, Burnout & Pushing Through41:24 Motherhood, Work & Hidden Struggles43:32 Saudi Arabia: Then vs. Now48:39 How E-Commerce Nearly Killed a 38-Year Legacy53:06 Taking Over the Family Business56:00 Choosing Gratitude Over Success58:27 Loss, Aging & Staying Connected1:02:06 Health, Motherhood & Losing Yourself1:04:13 The Truth About Work-Life Balance1:08:06 Guilty Pleasures1:10:12 The Dream She Had to Let Go Of1:15:21 Confidence, Emotions & Feeling Understood1:18:45 Final Reflections 

Most real estate agents know nothing about the homes they sell. Jennifer DeVito built a woman-owned construction and real estate company to fix exactly that.In this episode, I sit down with Jennifer DeVito, founder of Evolution, a design-build general contracting and real estate company on Long Island. Jennifer grew up running equipment on her parents' excavation sites, became the only woman managing 400 home builds for a national developer, and turned that into a business that combines buying, renovating, and selling under one roof.We get into why she charges sellers a flat fee instead of a percentage, how she gives buyers the true cost of a home before they make an offer, and why she trains alongside her 23 employees every single day.Jennifer is proof that you do not have to build your business the way men built theirs. If you are growing something in an industry that was not designed for you, this one is worth your time.Chapters:

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and three-time NAACP Image Award-winning television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Laura Foos. Interview Overview Guest: Laura FoosHost: Rushion McDonaldShow: Money Making Conversations MasterclassLocation: Camp Springs, Maryland (DMV area)Focus: Entrepreneurship, tax education, real estate ownership, multiple income streams, women in business, and asset‑based thinking Laura Foos is a serial entrepreneur, accountant, tax professional, property owner, and business educator. In this conversation, she walks through how she built several aligned businesses—from a salon to a tax firm, educational products, and a multi‑use commercial space—while raising her daughter as a single mother and intentionally building wealth through ownership. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of the interview is to: Educate everyday entrepreneurs—especially women and small business owners—on how to use taxes, ownership, and strategy to build sustainable wealth Demystify entrepreneurship by showing how multiple income streams can grow from practical decisions, not hype Highlight asset‑based thinking, where liabilities are intentionally offset by income‑producing assets Inspire single mothers and women entrepreneurs to pursue ownership, funding, and scalability without waiting for permission Rushion positions Laura as a living example of “walking the walk”—not just talking about business success, but executing it with discipline, planning, and faith. Key Themes & Takeaways 1. Location, Ownership, and Convenience Matter Laura intentionally built her life and businesses close together—owning her home of 20 years and purchasing a nearby commercial property—to maximize efficiency and control.Takeaway: Strategic location and ownership reduce friction and increase long‑term stability. 2. Taxes Are a Growth Tool—Not Just Compliance As a college‑educated accountant and longtime tax professional, Laura explains that many small business owners are taught to eliminate taxable income entirely, but this limits growth. She emphasizes the importance of: Showing income on paper Planning annually for tax obligations Using taxes strategically to qualify for loans and asset purchases Takeaway: You cannot scale—or secure funding—without showing money on paper. 3. Every Liability Should Have an Asset Attached Laura repeatedly returns to a core principle: “For every liability that I have, I want to figure out an asset that is going to pay for that. Examples include: Rental units inside her home paying the mortgage Booth rentals covering salon rent Event space, studios, and meeting rooms generating income to cover the commercial property Takeaway: Bills are optional when assets are designed correctly. 4. Multiple Streams Came from One Smart Decision What began as a tax office expanded into: A podcast studio Photography studio Meeting rooms Event space Takeaway: One owned asset can support several revenue streams if you design for flexibility. 5. Mentorship and Representation Matter Laura consciously mentors other women through: Her Confessions of a Boss Lady Facebook group (400+ women) Social media education Direct example She emphasizes that visibility—“I’m living this”—is key to inspiring others. 6. Teaching Financial Literacy Starts at Home Laura involved her daughter in entrepreneurship early, helping her launch a bracelet business to fund private school tuition. She taught her: Customer interaction Inventory management Profit allocation Reinvestment Takeaway: Wealth habits are taught, not inherited. 7. Smart Delegation Enables Growth After experiencing burnout and a health scare during the pandemic, Laura learned she could not do everything herself. She expanded her team and invested in automation. Takeaway: Growth requires letting go—not grinding harder.. 8. Faith Replaces Fear When asked why she isn’t afraid to take big risks, Laura attributes her confidence to faith. “I have fearless faith… If He put it in front of me, that’s what I’m supposed to try.” Takeaway: Purpose reduces fear and reframes failure as learning. Standout Quotes On asset‑based thinking: “For every liability that I have, I want an asset that’s going to pay for that.”. On taxes and growth: “To grow and expand and purchase things in the business name, we have to start showing something on paper.”. On entrepreneurship as a single mother: “One income is not enough.” On delegation and health: “I realized I don’t have to be in it 24 hours a day.”. On fearlessness: “If it doesn’t work, I’ll reorganize, learn the lesson, and move on. Overall Impact Laura Foos is presented as a grounded, disciplined, and strategic entrepreneur who built wealth through ownership, education, planning, and faith—not shortcuts. The interview reinforces that success is not about one big idea, but about stacking smart decisions over time. Core message:Ownership + education + faith + execution = freedom. #BEST #STRAW #SHMSSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the time she was a little girl, Hayley Paige knew exactly what she wanted to do: design wedding dresses. And she did it. By her early thirties she had a million Instagram followers, a recurring spot on Say Yes to the Dress, and gowns selling in hundreds of stores worldwide. And then she lost all of it. Her name. Her Instagram. Her right to design. Even her right to publicly call herself Hayley Paige. What followed was years of fighting in court, broke, locked out of everything she had built, just to reclaim what should have been hers from the start. And when she finally did, she turned that experience into something bigger, founding A Girl You Might Know Foundation and She Is Cheval to make sure other women don't have to go through the same thing.

If you've ever prayed for something… but deep down weren't sure it would actually happen, this Bible study is for you.In this episode of the Real Estate Bestie Podcast, we're walking through Luke chapter 1 and breaking down the difference between Zachariah's doubt and Mary's belief… and how that same tension shows up in our lives today.Because let's be real… It's one thing to say you believe God. It's another thing to move like you believe Him.Inside this Bible study, we talk about: • Why Zachariah got silenced (and what that reveals about doubt) • The difference between asking questions vs. not believing • What it actually means to be “blessed is she who believed” • How Mary demonstrated her faith through action • Why you need an “Elizabeth” in your life (and who you're called to be for others) • How to stop borrowing faith and start knowing God for yourselfThis isn't just about scripture… This is about how your faith shows up in your business, your calling, and your everyday decisions.Because faith without action? It's just words.✨ My prayer for you is that you become the woman in Luke 1:45… “Blessed is she who believed that the Lord would fulfill His promises to her.”—
