Stephanie Long, founder of Launch Your Nutrition Biz and Booked Out Nutritionist, sits down with marketing strategist Kelsey Reidl to untangle a question a lot of established founders quietly wrestle with: how do you build a personal brand on top of a business that already works, without confusing your audience or diluting what's already paying the bills? What starts as a funnel-strategy conversation turns into a much bigger one about identity, monotony, and giving yourself permission to evolve out loud.

In This Episode:

• Why Stephanie paused content creation for months, stuck between two audiences and two programs
• The real difference between "beginner" and "next-stage" content — and why most nutritionists get stuck in the messy middle
• Why "the money is in the monotony" and what that means for founders who feel bored by what's working
• How to structure one funnel that leads to two offers, instead of running two competing funnels
• Why a personal brand doesn't need a grand announcement — or its own separate business
• Practical ideas for finding your "hook" and turning conversations into content without losing your voice to AI

Key Takeaways:

1. If your programs solve genuinely different problems, your audience probably doesn't need two content funnels — they need one funnel with a clear self-select moment (a "not sure which one you need?" CTA) and application-style entry into the more advanced offer.
2. Content pillars usually overlap more than founders assume — beginners want to hear what's ahead of them, and advanced audiences want reminders of the fundamentals.
3. A personal brand isn't a rebrand. You can shift a podcast's tone and content gradually — your audience is evolving with you and doesn't need a big announcement unless you're shutting the whole thing down.
4. Protect a few hours a week for creative content with no attached sales outcome — the only metric is whether it felt honest and alive.
5. If AI-assisted content creation starts to feel like it's flattening your voice, the fix isn't to abandon it — it's to feed it your actual unscripted thoughts (via a recorded weekly check-in, a voice memo, or a journaling habit) so it has something real to work with.

About the Guest:

She's currently preparing to go on maternity leave and is rethinking how personal brand fits into an already-established coaching business.

After eight or nine live events and nearly four years of hosting, Wave for Women co-founders Kelsey and Emily sit down for an unfiltered conversation about the fears that keep them up at night before an event — from pregnancy scares and ice storms to missing name tags and worn-out swag bags — alongside the parts of event-hosting they've learned to fully trust.

• Emily's biggest event fear: a sick kid (or herself) making an event impossible to attend
• Navigating a first-trimester pregnancy and morning sickness during a live 75-person event
• Two intense weather scares — an ice storm and an air quality warning — and the "Acts of God" risk that comes with event hosting
• Why every attendee has a different risk tolerance, and how that shapes hard calls
• The "little things become big things" logistics spiral: name tags, tape, table assignments
• Real mishaps: a mismatched speaker time, a water shortage on a hot day, worn swag bags
• Why building an event team (and having a "runner" on standby) changed everything
• Wardrobe mishaps on the road — bra straps, blisters, and the case for trying on your full outfit beforehand
• What Kelsey and Emily never worry about: guest connection, public speaking, and trusting their unconventional approach
• Why choosing small-town venues and unique guest speakers became a competitive advantage

1. Plan for the things you can't control. Weather, illness, and "Acts of God" risks aren't preventable — build contingency plans and a trusted team rather than assuming you'll be lucky forever.
2. Respect that risk tolerance varies. Not every attendee will weigh a health or weather risk the same way you do — communicate clearly and let people opt in or out.
3. Build an event team, not a two-person show. Having a trusted "runner" on standby for last-minute needs (water, supplies) keeps hosts from being stressed out at their own event.
4. Give yourself grace for the 2% hiccups. Wrong speaker times, mismatched dates, worn swag bags — these happen at almost every event, and naming them openly builds trust with your audience rather than eroding it.
5. Trust your unconventional instincts. Choosing smaller-town venues and guest speakers you personally love — rather than copying what everyone else does — can become your strongest differentiator.

• "Don't make a mountain out of a molehill when little things go funny."
• "When you make decisions that just feel good in your soul, you will attract the right attendees who see in that vision, and they want to build it out with you."

Nicole Crone — co-founder of My Aligned Purpose and host of a podcast with over 600 episodes — joins Rain or Shine for a candid conversation about becoming a mom at 40 after years of not wanting kids, surviving a two-year fertility journey, and navigating one of the hardest eight-week stretches her business has faced. Along the way, she shares the systems, mindset tools, and rituals that keep her grounded — from "duvet days" to yearly word-of-the-year necklaces.

• Nicole's go-to rituals for decompressing after an overloaded week
• How she uses Claude and Cowork to organize her to-do list into an Eisenhower Matrix
• Her lifelong love of learning — human design, astrology, Kabbalah, and yoga
• The surprising vision that changed her mind about wanting kids
• A two-year fertility journey, including a pregnancy loss, and what it taught her about compassion and timing
• What she wishes she'd known about postpartum boundaries as an entrepreneur
• Navigating the hardest eight weeks in her business's six-and-a-half-year history
• Her personal toolkit for processing hard emotions (solo drives, audiobooks, trusted masterminds)
• Her philosophy on what to share publicly versus keep private as a personal brand
• Why My Aligned Purpose builds yearly themes, challenges, and rewards into its coaching programs

1. Name what your nervous system needs, and ask for it. Vocalizing a specific need — like a full "duvet day" with zero plans — is more restorative than defaulting to "productive" rest.
2. Trust doesn't mean things happen on your timeline. Nicole's fertility journey taught her that "the universe delivers when you know what you want and why you want it" — but not necessarily on schedule.
3. Take the time off you think you don't need. Plan for real postpartum (or any major life transition) downtime rather than assuming you'll want to keep working — you likely won't, and you'll regret cutting it short.
4. Process alone before you process out loud. Solo time (a drive, a cry, a walk) before bringing a hard situation to trusted people helps you find your own direction before outside opinions can sway it.
5. Build structure your community can buy into. Yearly themes, challenges, and rewards — borrowed straight from a teaching background — deepen engagement and retention in a business or program.

In this episode, host Kelsey sits down with Shayla, founder of Better Than a Bot, a personal assistant service based in Calgary. Shayla shares her journey from 15 years in oil and gas to building a business on her own terms — and why hiring a personal assistant isn't just for the elite. This is a candid, inspiring conversation about time, boundaries, burnout, and building a life that actually fits.

• What a personal assistant actually does (it's not what most people think)
• The three biggest reasons people don't hire a PA — and why they should reconsider
• Shayla's three-month onboarding system and how she identifies client pain points
• The "dead bunnies in the backyard" story and other lessons in setting boundaries
• The viral Japanese monkey and what it has to do with entrepreneurship
• Why delegation is the #1 advice Shayla wishes she'd received on day one
• How LinkedIn and word of mouth built her client roster
• Why Shayla's 14-year-old daughter is her biggest reason to keep going

1. A personal assistant handles the personal tasks that drain your time outside of work — so you can be fully present for the things that matter.
2. Hiring help isn't an expense; it's an investment in your sanity, your family, and your future earning potential.
3. Saying yes to the wrong clients or projects doesn't just hurt you — it's also unfair to them. Boundaries protect everyone.
4. Delegation is the fastest path to growth. You don't have to do it all yourself.
5. Building trust takes time. Shayla's three-month trial period is intentional — the best client relationships develop over weeks, not in a single discovery call.

• "When I started my business, I could finally control my calendar. If my daughter had an award show at school, I didn't have to ask anyone."
• "It's not an expense. It can actually be seen as an investment in you, in your family, in your sanity."
• "If it's not a right fit, it's not fair to me or to that client."

Shayla is the founder of Better Than a Bot, a personal assistant service based in Calgary, Alberta. After 15 years in the oil and gas industry, she left corporate life to build a business that gives busy professionals back their most valuable resource: time. She serves clients in Calgary and surrounding areas and is passionate about helping people live less stressed, more intentional lives.

Recording live from the car en route to a Wave members' event in Prince Edward County, Kelsey reflects on the origin story that started it all — a fully sponsored podcast tour of PEC eight years ago — and unpacks why deciding to stop being a "beginner" changed the trajectory of her business. She also gives an honest, real-time update on prepping for maternity leave.

• The full story of how a Toronto co-working space event led to a sponsored six-episode podcast series in Prince Edward County
• Why the word "decide" is about cutting off other options — and how that mindset let her charge money as a beginner podcaster
• The concept of "caging yourself" and the subconscious limits we set around time, money, and ambition
• An honest, unfiltered life update on juggling client work, speaking gigs, and a looming mat leave
• How staggered payment plans and SEO/AI visibility made stepping back from the business easier
• Why she's choosing to fully pause the podcast rather than "hustle" to pre-record content

1. Getting to the next level often requires a literal decision to stop operating like a beginner — pricing, consistency, and professionalism included.
2. The stories we tell ourselves ("I don't have time," "I'll never...") are self-imposed cages — identifying them is the first step to breaking out.
3. Long time horizons, not quick wins, are where real business and personal growth happen.
4. Staggering client revenue (via 6–12 month payment plans) can make stepping away from a business — for any reason — far less stressful.
5. Consistency, not constant presence, is what builds long-term trust with an audience.

• On the meaning of commitment: "I'm not gonna hang out in beginner land anymore."
• On expectations of instant results: "When you stretch the time horizon, success is inevitable."
• On earning trust: "Consistency breeds trust."

Kelsey Reidl is an entrepreneur, fractional CMO, and host of Rain or Shine (formerly Visionary Life). She's been podcasting for 8 years, helping entrepreneurs show up consistently and build sustainable businesses. She runs the WAVE Mastermind and specializes in marketing strategy, website design, and business growth. Kelsey is a mom to a 2-year-old, an avid mountain biker, and a firm believer in the "rain or shine" mentality.

Sarah McCready, founder of Illuminated Joy, joins host Kelsey for a rich conversation about what it truly means to operate from a place of peace rather than hustle. From charming the village grump as a five-year-old to building a thriving mentorship business after 20+ years in corporate financial services, Sarah shares the real story behind her business name, why nervous system regulation is the missing piece for most entrepreneurs, and how the simple act of genuine human curiosity can become your most powerful business superpower.

• How Sarah and Kelsey met in a café — and why that moment perfectly captures Sarah's gift for connection
• The origin story of Illuminated Joy, from red light therapy and Reiki to a transformational mentorship for women
• What "the dark night of the soul" taught Sarah about healing, patterns, and creating a new life
• Why thinking beyond the five senses is no longer "woo" — and what science now says about nervous system regulation
• How hustle culture keeps us stuck in a primal state and disconnected from our intuition
• Simple, accessible nature-based practices for entrepreneurs who feel stalled or burned out
• The surprising reason most people don't connect others — and how to build this as a skill
• Why getting outside (rain or shine!) is one of the most neuroscientifically sound things you can do for your business

1. Your nervous system drives 90% of your reactions. If you're not learning to regulate it, you're unknowingly operating from fear and stress rather than clarity and creativity.
2. Entrepreneurship is the biggest personal development journey you will ever go on. Unresolved wounds, limiting beliefs, and past patterns will surface — and that's actually an invitation to heal.
3. Nature is not optional — it's regulatory. Getting outdoors, breathing fresh air, and moving your body recalibrates your nervous system and literally brings both brain hemispheres online.
4. Genuine connection starts with curiosity about others, not yourself. Shifting the spotlight from yourself to the person in front of you is the foundational practice of meaningful networking.
5. Start with one small thing and do it for a month. Whether it's a daily walk, deep breathing, or attending one event — momentum builds from commitment to consistency.

• "Those that shine the brightest have experienced a lot of dark — and I am no exception to that rule." — Sarah McCready
• "When we are in that stuck or stalled place, trying to create a whole new habit that hasn't been familiar to you isn't going to fly. Your body and your mind will resist it. The biggest thing you can do is just get out in nature." — Sarah McCready
• "The only way you can tap into that inner knowing consciously is to give yourself space and silence and time to reflect inward." — Sarah McCready

She is known for her extraordinary ability to see people, build bridges between them, and help women move from survival mode to a life of purpose, peace, and joy.

Jen Govier is the founder of HUX, a bamboo charcoal underwear brand designed to eliminate camel toe and keep women feeling confident and comfortable. In this conversation, Jen shares the origin story behind HUX — from a mortifying gym mirror moment to a product now sold in 19 countries — and the patient, intentional entrepreneurial journey that made it possible.

• The gym mirror moment that sparked the idea for HUX
• Why Jen spent four years validating and building before launching in 2020
• How she balanced building a business on evenings and weekends while running private wealth management
• The decision to resign from a six-figure corporate career at 50 — and what happened immediately after
• How organic social media and community-first marketing drove 90% of HUX's growth
• The shift from saying yes to everything to being strategic with time and ROI
• Landing GoodLife, F45, The Source, and Trish Stratus — and what made those partnerships work
• Manifestation as a practice: dreaming bigger and taking action despite not knowing the "how"

1. One thing a day compounds. Jen turned a gym mishap into a global brand by committing to a single daily action — starting in 2016 and launching in 2020. Time passes anyway; put it to work.
2. Talk about your idea before it's ready. Every major breakthrough — the fashion mentor in Costa Rica, the GoodLife connection, Trish Stratus — came through people who knew what she was building. Keeping an idea private kills the serendipity.
3. Saying yes to everything has a shelf life. Early-stage, saying yes builds brand awareness. Later-stage, it erodes margins and time. Learn when to make the shift.
4. Partnerships are for credibility; direct-to-consumer is for revenue. Major retail and gym partnerships gave HUX legitimacy — but organic social media and word-of-mouth remains the #1 revenue driver.
5. Don't wait for a full-body yes before leaping — build toward it. Jen's leap felt right because she spent years preparing the conditions. There's no universal timeline.

• "Time is going to pass anyway — so you might as well put in what you want." — Jen Govier
• "The day I resigned, we were on Breakfast Television. Within three months we'd signed with GoodLife. It was like the universe said, 'Okay, you're serious. We'll meet you where you're at.'" — Jen Govier
• "It's more than underwear. It's about giving women confidence — whether you're at the gym or on a stage. It's the first thing you put on every day. You want to feel good in it." — Jen Govier

Jen Govier is a London, Ontario-based entrepreneur and the founder of HUX, an innovative underwear brand built around bamboo charcoal fabric and a built-in camel toe guard. After nearly a decade of building the brand alongside a career in private wealth management, she left a senior banking role in January 2025 to go all in. HUX has now been sold in 19 countries.

In this energetic solo episode, Kelsey shares three unscripted but surprisingly connected ideas: the power of genuinely celebrating others' wins, using "time confetti" to nourish yourself instead of defaulting to your phone, and the marketing principle of "wrapping your garlic in prosciutto" to make your message irresistible.

• Why two back-to-back engagement announcements sparked a reflection on building a culture of celebration
• What "time confetti" is and how to use it more intentionally throughout your day
• The "wrap it in ham" story from Layla Hormozi and how it applies directly to your marketing messaging
• The difference between garlic marketing and prosciutto marketing (and how to tell which one you're doing)
• How the Wave Mastermind was born from a desire for a community that celebrates each other

1. Celebrating someone else's win freely and genuinely creates a rising-tide energy for everyone.
2. Time confetti — those scattered micro-moments in your day — can be reclaimed for nourishing habits instead of mindless scrolling.
3. Your best ideas don't come from sitting at your desk in a routine. Get out, move, change your environment.
4. If your marketing message sounds like plain garlic, wrap it in prosciutto — speak to the outcome people actually desire.
5. Community is essential for entrepreneurs. Without people to celebrate your wins with, success can feel hollow.

• "Your best ideas are not going to come while you're sitting at your desk in the same 9-to-5 routine you've created for yourself."
• "When you celebrate others freely and genuinely, you win, I win, we all win."
• "Is your Instagram bio garlic, or is it garlic wrapped with prosciutto? Because that's where the attention travels."

• The WAVE Mastermind (co-founded by Kelsey and Emily) — community for entrepreneurs

Kelsey Reidl is an entrepreneur, fractional CMO, and host of Rain or Shine (formerly Visionary Life). She's been podcasting for 8 years, helping entrepreneurs show up consistently and build sustainable businesses. She runs the WAVE Mastermind and specializes in marketing strategy, website design, and business growth. Kelsey is a mom to a 2-year-old, an avid mountain biker, and a firm believer in the "rain or shine" mentality.

In this episode, host Kelsey sits down with Lauren Murdoch, founder of Murdoch Marketing, a fractional marketing consultancy based in Burlington, Ontario. Lauren shares the raw, messy, and ultimately inspiring story of leaving a burnout-inducing corporate career, taking her family to New Zealand for four months, and coming home to build a business rooted in clarity, community, and genuine strategy. This is a must-listen for marketers, entrepreneurs, and anyone who has ever felt the pull toward something more aligned — but wasn't sure how to get there.

• How Lauren went from corporate marketer to fractional marketing consultant after 15 years
• The 1:00–3:00 AM panic attacks that finally pushed her to quit
• Why she spent months saying yes to everything — and what it unlocked
• The real story of how her family made four months in New Zealand happen (no big bank account required)
• Her first fractional client — and why he showed up at a golf simulator
• Why going viral is NOT the goal — and what actually generates revenue
• The simple marketing moves most small business owners skip entirely
• How co-hosting workshops became her most powerful visibility strategy
• Why she hopes she never goes viral

1. It's never the right time to take the leap — but if the desire is there, dig in and figure out how to make it work. The right conditions rarely just appear; you have to engineer them.
2. In the early days of a new business, saying yes to everything isn't reckless — it's research. Clarity comes from doing, not planning.
3. The best marketing starts with one thing: being relentlessly clear about who you are, what you offer, and telling people exactly what to do next.
4. Optimize before you add. Before building a new offer or platform, look at what you already have and ask if it's been given a real chance to work.
5. Getting out of your office and into rooms — events, coffee chats, workshops — is still one of the most underrated business development strategies that exists.

• "You will always find reasons not to do something. It's never a good time."
• "Don't go try to do five to ten channels. Pick two. Get really good at those."
• "I genuinely hope I don't go viral — because that's not the fastest path to building a real business."

Consistency isn't about doing everything all at once — it's about doing the right things, repeatedly, in a way that's actually sustainable. In this solo episode, your host breaks down the real reason most people fall off the wagon, introduces a powerful Venn diagram framework for diagnosing consistency blocks, and walks through a practical goal-mapping method you can use starting today.

• Why modern productivity advice sets you up to fail at consistency
• The Cambridge Dictionary definition of consistency — and why it might surprise you
• The difference between healthy evolution and self-sabotaging reinvention
• Why "big burst" entrepreneurs burn out before they ever see compounding results
• The tortoise and the hare: what it actually takes to win the long game
• The Time–Energy–Money Venn diagram for diagnosing why you're inconsistent
• The "never break the chain" calendar method (and how the host has used it for 15+ years)
• How to set 1–3 outcome-based goals and map them to a strategy, a why, KPIs, and support systems
• Why the path of least resistance is the secret to long-term consistency

1. Stop trying to be consistent with everything at once. Pick one focus per season and stack habits intentionally over time.
2. Use the Time–Energy–Money Venn diagram. If two of three are present, you can be consistent. If none are, eliminate or defer the goal until the conditions change.
3. The "never break the chain" method works — but only for goals that genuinely matter to you. Meaning fuels the mark on the calendar.
4. Map every goal to four elements: the goal itself, the strategy, the why, and your KPIs. This eliminates decision fatigue and keeps you on track.
5. Consistency is the path of least resistance — by design. Build systems and get support so that showing up becomes the easiest choice, not the hardest.

• "It's not the entrepreneurs who work the hardest who succeed — it's the ones who show up consistently, so they're always top of mind."
• "Structure your life so that consistency is the path of least resistance."
• "If you have no time, no energy, and no money to invest in support, you're not going to be consistent. That's not a character flaw — that's math."

Matt Diamante — founder of the Hey Tony Agency — joins host Kelsey for a candid conversation about his winding path from process server to band member to SEO expert. Matt breaks down the foundational steps any small business owner can take to rank on Google, explains how AI search is changing content strategy, and shares the simple daily habit that transformed his referral-only agency into a content-driven machine.

• How Matt accidentally fell into marketing while trying to promote his band
• The unusual jobs (process server, film crew) that shaped how he runs his agency
• Growing an alternative lifestyle blog from zero to 4 million monthly visitors — and what it taught him about hooks
• The origin story behind the name "Hey Tony"
• The three SEO fundamentals every small business needs: Google Business Profile, a multi-page website, and topical authority
• Why most SEO vendors are scamming small businesses — and how to protect yourself
• The AI prompt Matt uses to write unique, expert-driven blog posts in one hour
• How SEO is evolving in the age of ChatGPT and AI search engines
• What two books pushed Matt to post on social media every single day in 2023
• Why he doesn't batch content — and why he thinks you shouldn't either

1. Every page on your website is a door. Service-based businesses should have a dedicated page for every service they offer. If Google doesn't see it, it doesn't know you offer it.
2. Use AI to extract your expertise, not replace it. Instead of asking ChatGPT to "write a blog post," prompt it to interview you with 10 questions and answer in voice mode. The result is genuinely unique content that reflects your experience.
3. Get to the point faster. In the age of AI search, content that buries the answer under a long preamble will lose. Lead with the answer, then go deeper.
4. Reviews require a system, not willpower. Build a consistent ask into every completed transaction. You can incentivize leaving a review — just not a five-star one specifically.
5. Consistency beats perfection. Matt went from 4 hours per video to 5–10 minutes by posting every single day. The skill builds. The ideas flow. Just start.

• "I believe the world is built on small businesses. If I can help good people grow through SEO, they can hire more staff, create jobs, send their kids to college. If I want to make the world a better place, I can do that one small business at a time." — Matt Diamante

In this candid solo episode, Kelsey Reidel breaks down four mindset shifts she's observed over nearly a decade in business — distinctions that separate entrepreneurs who stay stuck from those who keep growing. Inspired by a morning hike and a Marco Polo conversation with two long-time entrepreneur friends, Kelsey shares real scenarios, personal stories, and honest reflections on what it actually takes to build a sustainable business.

• Why "junior" vs. "experienced" has nothing to do with how long you've been in business
• The real purpose of your first event, launch, or marketing experiment (hint: it's not profit)
• Why experienced entrepreneurs still slide into DMs — and why you should too
• How to turn every "no" into a source of intelligence rather than a source of shame
• The emotional regulation strategies that keep seasoned entrepreneurs from spiraling when things go sideways

1. Your first event is a research project, not a revenue event. Kelsey grew her events from 10 women in a free coffee shop to 80 women at a sold-out, fully sponsored venue — one small step at a time. Start with three people if you have to.
2. The unscalable work is where the business actually gets built. No matter how big your email list, DMs, coffee chats, and personal follow-ups still move the needle. The most successful entrepreneurs never stop doing this work.
3. "No" means "not yet" — treat it like data. Every objection tells you something your messaging isn't addressing. Get curious instead of shutting down.
4. One hard week isn't a business crisis. The experienced entrepreneur has systems to process difficult events without letting them derail the entire plan.
5. You are your business's biggest cheerleader. The moment you start to believe it's not working, your revenue reflects it. Protect your confidence fiercely.

• "Hosting your first event is never about profiting on day one. It's about brand-building, visibility, relationship-building, and market research — all rolled into one."
• "The experienced entrepreneur never outgrows the unscalable stuff. They just get more intentional about it."
• "When people say no, it usually means 'not yet,' or 'I don't have the information I need.' Get curious — don't shut down."

Kelsey Reidl is an entrepreneur, fractional CMO, and host of Rain or Shine (formerly Visionary Life). She's been podcasting for 8 years, helping entrepreneurs show up consistently and build sustainable businesses. She runs the Wave Mastermind and specializes in marketing strategy, website design, and business growth. Kelsey is a mom to a 2-year-old, an avid mountain biker, and a firm believer in the "rain or shine" mentality.

Sonya Szabo is a Canadian business lawyer, former café owner, and entrepreneur who has never done things the conventional way — and that's exactly why it works. In this episode, she returns to the Rain or Shine podcast after eight years to share the full arc of her story: building and selling the Vic Café, going to law school at forty, battling imposter syndrome, and ultimately creating a law practice that reflects her values instead of the industry mold.

• How Sonya opened the Vic Café at 35 with three kids — and led with boundaries from day one
• Why she hired a manager before opening the doors
• The highs and hard realities of running a brick-and-mortar restaurant for eight years
• Going back to law school at forty and navigating four years of imposter syndrome
• The "90-year-old self" exercise Sonya uses to make every major decision
• Her "quit week" in 2025 — what triggered it and what brought her back
• Why in-person relationship-building has been her most effective marketing strategy
• What Zebo Law does and how to work with Sonya

1. Know your priorities before you open your doors. Sonya put a note in her very first employee handbook that said she was a mom first — and that transparency set the tone for every working relationship that followed.
2. Build the business around your strengths, not your job description. She hired a manager before opening and stayed focused on owner-level decisions from the start.
3. Your vision isn't a prediction — it's a decision-making filter. Sonya doesn't hold her vision because she expects it to happen exactly as planned; she holds it because it tells her what to say yes and no to.
4. Think about your ninety-year-old self. When you filter decisions through who you want to be at the end of your life, the noise clears fast.
5. A "quit week" isn't the end — it's a signal. Panic means something isn't working. Go back to your values before you go anywhere else.

• "Before we even opened our doors, we hired a manager. Traditionally that would have been the owner's job — but I knew I needed to outsource that and just be the owner."
• "When I hold a decision up against my vision and ask, 'Will this bring me closer to where I want to go?' — the answer tells me whether to say yes or no."
• "When people started connecting me and 'lawyer' together, you could see the relief on their faces — like, finally, a lawyer who doesn't make me feel belittled. Someone who makes me feel empowered."

Sonya Szabo is a Canadian business lawyer and the founder of Zebo Law, where she helps entrepreneurs and business owners navigate contracts, corporate structure, trademarks, and more — in language they can actually understand. After eight years running the Vic Café in Prince Edward County and selling it in 2023, Sonya went to law school at forty and built a practice rooted in her own experience as a founder, parent, and entrepreneur.

In this candid solo session, Kelsey answers your top marketing questions — covering pricing strategy, how to evaluate cold PR pitches, and what to do when your Instagram feels scattered and purposeless. Woven throughout are honest life updates: navigating her second pregnancy, the power of accountability, and how to embrace change as an entrepreneur.

• Why accountability partners (and assistant nudges) are the secret to getting things done
• How pregnancy #2 has looked very different — and why Kelsey is packing her calendar before mat leave
• Debating winter babies vs. summer babies (she genuinely wants your input)
• The Picasso story and what it teaches you about price vs. value
• How to know if your prices are too low, too high, or just right
• The truth about cold pitch emails — when to say yes and when to run
• A step-by-step Instagram strategy for business owners who feel scattered
• The four-part Instagram sales funnel: Create, Connect, Collect, Convert
• Why showing up imperfectly beats waiting for perfect every time

1. Accountability changes everything. You'll cancel on yourself, but you won't cancel on someone else. Use that psychology intentionally — schedule with others, hire coaches, or create external check-ins to move your biggest projects forward.
2. Pricing is a gut check. If you feel undervalued after every transaction, your prices are too low. If you feel like you're ripping someone off, they may be too high. When it feels like a mutual exchange of value — you've nailed it.
3. Evaluate cold pitches with your wallet and your gut. Only pay for media opportunities you're 100% okay losing. Ask for traffic stats, audience demographics, and backlink terms. Some are incredible; many aren't.
4. Brand pillars create consistency. Before you open Instagram again, define 3–4 content pillars — at least one professional, one personal — and some rules for what you won't post. Decision fatigue is the enemy of consistency.
5. Don't stop at "create." Most business owners post and walk away. The real magic is in connecting with your audience, collecting intel on what they need, and then actually making an offer.

• "Picasso was pricing based on his value. He's put in thousands and thousands of hours — so to charge on an hourly basis simply does not make sense."
• "Once you make that leap, you can then decide: is this the right place for me, or do I need to keep moving forward? That's what you do through life — you just keep turning the next page."
• "The ratio of people who show up and create good content is probably 1% of Instagram users. The people who want to consume? Probably 99%. So yes, it feels competitive — but the opportunity is massive."

Adam Morka is the entrepreneur behind Trail Hub, a 142-acre events and recreation destination in Durham Region, Ontario built on the site of a former ski hill. In this episode, Adam breaks down how he drove 170% year-over-year revenue growth using a multi-channel marketing strategy, the hard lessons that came with scaling fast, and why his bet for 2026 is simple: elevate your brand.

• How Adam's background as a professional mountain bike racer and Olympic-athlete coach shaped his entrepreneurial mindset
• The morning routines and calendar blocking habits that keep Adam performing at a high level — even on two hours of sleep
• Why content marketing and digital visibility are non-negotiable for any business or professional in 2026
• The step-by-step marketing strategy behind Trail Hub's triple-digit year-over-year growth
• Why event marketing is one of the best ROI-generating strategies available (with a real-world case study from supplement brand BPN)
• The operational growing pains that come when marketing works too well
• Adam's one-word marketing bet for the next 12 months: brand elevation

• Schedule everything that matters. Adam's morning workout, family time, and personal development are all on his calendar — not left to chance. If it's not scheduled, it's not a priority.
• Marketing results lag behind effort. Trail Hub didn't see significant impact from their revamped digital marketing until 6–12 months after launch. Set realistic expectations and stay consistent.
• Event marketing pulls double duty. Well-executed events can run at break even or a profit AND generate content and brand awareness that keeps paying off long after the event.
• More impressions, fewer conversions. Most businesses convert only 2–2.5% of website traffic. Trail Hub hit 10% — but it required 375,000 annual website visits to get there. Volume of impressions matters.
• Elevate your brand deliberately. Consumers in 2026 are investing in brands they share values with. Get clear on who you are as a brand and constantly raise the bar — your marketing spend becomes more efficient and your customer quality improves.

• "If everything matters, nothing does. If everything is a priority, then nothing is a priority. — Adam Morka (referencing Alex Hormozi)"
• "The standards you hold your organization to are essentially the business you create — the same way the standards you hold yourself to create the life you live. — Adam Morka"
• "Event marketing truly is one of the best marketing spends a business owner can make. If you do it properly, you can run the event at break even or a profit — and you're also getting the content and awareness out of the event itself. — Adam Morka"

Adam Morka is the driving force behind Trail Hub's explosive growth, bringing over a decade of experience spanning professional mountain bike racing, Olympic-level athlete coaching, and tech company scaling. He joined the family business in May 2023 and has since grown revenue by triple digits year-over-year through a relentless focus on digital marketing and brand building.

Kelsey sits down with Jodie, founder of Root and Bloom Therapy, for an honest, heartfelt pregnancy Q&A. They cover everything from why Kelsey waited 20 weeks to announce, to the emotional weight of miscarriage, the art of letting go when you're a type-A entrepreneur, and what intentional postpartum self-care really looks like the second time around.

In This Episode:

• Why Kelsey waited until 20 weeks to announce her second pregnancy — and the business fears behind the decision
• The fear of losing clients when you announce a pregnancy as a self-employed entrepreneur
• Kelsey's miscarriage journey and the conception story she wasn't expecting
• The importance of "sitting in the pit" with someone rather than rushing past grief
• Why her second pregnancy has felt completely different from her first
• Preparing mentally and emotionally for birth and postpartum — with a toddler in the mix
• Navigating the relationship with her son Freddy during this major family transition
• Kelsey's worries this time vs. last time: what's changed and what hasn't
• Outsourcing and asking for help — finally
• Postpartum self-care rituals: the daily micro-moments that actually make a difference

Key Takeaways:

1. You don't owe anyone your news in real time. Holding sacred moments close — pregnancy, health, family milestones — is a boundary, not a secret. Processing privately first is a gift you give yourself.
2. Surrendering control isn't weakness — it's wisdom. In fertility, in business, and in parenting, the outcomes we most want rarely come from forcing them.
3. Grief deserves a witness, not a fixer. When someone is in the pit, what they often need most is someone willing to come sit in it with them — not offer a ladder too soon.
4. Know your joy list before the fog sets in. Write down the five to ten micro-moments that fill your cup before postpartum arrives, because you won't remember them when you're in the thick of it.
5. Values aren't static — and that's okay. Checking in weekly with what this season is asking of you is more sustainable than rigidly holding one set of priorities.

Memorable Quotes:

• "It was never a secret — there are just parts of life so magical that you want to hold them tight to your heart for a little bit." — Kelsey
• "Sometimes what you need is for someone to come into the pit and sit in the pit with you — not try to make you feel better, just help you not feel so alone." — Jodie
• "Going back four months, I would not have chosen to process all of that by myself. It was a lot of unnecessary rumination." — Kelsey

Fresh off their biggest event yet — an 80-woman gathering that left attendees floating out of the venue — Kelsey and Em sit down for an honest, behind-the-scenes debrief. From what went wrong to what made it magical, they share the real story of growing Wave Live Events with heart and intention.

In This Episode

• How to resource yourself (and your household) in the week before a big event
• The mindset shift that kept them grounded when things went sideways
• The biggest level-ups from past events — including finally taking up space on their own stage
• Why their event feels different from every other women's networking event
• Funny behind-the-scenes moments: construction, agenda glitches, and rolling with it
• How their kids stuffed every swag bag — and what that means about building a business
• Post-event processing: the crash, the recovery, and the lessons carried forward
• What's coming next for Wave: micro events, new cities, and protecting the community's soul

Key Takeaways

1. Protect your energy before a big event — Have an honest conversation with your support system early. Ask for help before you desperately need it.
2. Presence over perfection — The most valuable thing you bring to your event is your energetic presence, not a flawless run-of-show.
3. Asking for help is a level-up, not a weakness — Delegating details lets you zoom out, see the big picture, and show up better.
4. To teach women to take up space, you have to take up space yourself — Stop hiding behind other people's stages. Your community wants to hear from you.
5. Heart-centered beats ego-forward every time — Five deep connections at an event are worth more than 45 business cards you'll never remember.

Memorable Quotes

• "There is no perfect time for anything. You just have to do it."
• "If we're teaching other women to take up more space, we need to be taking up more space ourselves."
• "You leave some events feeling more disconnected than when you arrived — even in a room of a hundred people. We never want Wave to be that."

In this special crossover episode, Evie and Kelsey sit down for a candid debrief following their day at the This Mother Means Business event hosted by Laura Sinclair at The Pearl in Burlington. From conversations about shame and visibility to AI-powered systems and knowing when to get off the wrong train, this episode is packed with real insights from successful women in business — shared between two friends who just couldn't stop talking on the drive home.

In This Episode

• Why attending women's business events is one of the best prescriptions for stagnant growth
• Dr. Tracy's keynote on shame, motherhood, and the vulnerability of building a business in the light
• The powerful exercise about the stories we tell ourselves — and how to rewrite them
• What successful women's day-in-the-life routines actually look like (spoiler: less hustle, more intention)
• Julie Cole's famous quote on sunk cost fallacy and knowing when to get off the wrong train
• Rita from the Printing House on turning adversity into your greatest strength
• CIBC's Women's Hub and why banks need to show up at women's events
• How AI can reduce mental load for mothers in business — and why you don't have to have started early to start smart
• The right way to follow up after networking events

Key Takeaways

1. Expand your network constantly. Stagnant revenue, growth, or engagement is often a sign you're not meeting enough new people. Events are the prescription.
2. Rewrite the stories that hold you back. Whether it's "I don't have time to be creative" or "I have to do everything myself" — those narratives are quietly blocking your growth.
3. Delegation is not a luxury; it's a strategy. Knowing your season and offloading what you can — cooking, grocery shopping, admin — is how you protect your energy for what matters most.
4. The longer you're on the wrong train, the more expensive it is to get back. Know when to pivot: in your business model, your social media strategy, and your habits.
5. If it only lives in your head, it's already costing you. Document your processes, use AI to reduce mental load, and stop carrying everything alone.

Memorable Quotes

About Your Hosts

Evie Tavares is the host of Unfiltered Tea with Evie, a podcast where she has real, unfiltered conversations about business, motherhood, and everything in between.

Kelsey Reidl is the host of Rain or Shine, a podcast dedicated to helping entrepreneurs build businesses and lives they love — no matter what the season brings.

Holistic nutritionist, bestselling author, and TV host Julie Daniluk sits down with Kelsey and Emily for a rare dual-podcast crossover interview. In this episode, Julie traces her journey from co-founding the Big Carrot Natural Food Market in 1999 to landing an international TV show on the Oprah Winfrey Network — sharing the pivots, setbacks, and mindset tools that kept her going for over 25 years.

In This Episode

• How Julie built one of Canada's first holistic nutrition brands — without any business plan
• The near-death experience in Thailand that became her "why"
• How her theater degree became her most valuable business tool
• Surviving a devastating Facebook hack that wiped out 55,000 followers overnight
• Why she invests tens of thousands of dollars in mindset work — and why she'd do it again
• The raw truth about writing and selling books (hint: it's not what you think)
• How she pivoted 100% of her business model during the pandemic and built Thrive Hive
• The shower song that kept her sane while waiting to hear back from the Oprah Winfrey Network
• Navigating the body positivity debate as a nutritionist committed to evidence-based health
• Her single most powerful mindset tip for entrepreneurs

Key Takeaways

1. Build on your own land. Social platforms will change, get hacked, or disappear. Your email list and owned platform are your safe shore — protect them above all else.
2. Your past career isn't wasted — it's your secret weapon. Julie's theater degree gave her media presence decades before media training was a thing. Look for the skills in your history that make you uniquely positioned today.
3. Write a book for a calling card, not a paycheck. You earn $1–2 per copy. The real ROI is in the doors it opens, not the royalties.
4. Invest in your mindset like it's your most important business asset. For Julie, tens of thousands of dollars in personal development training was the investment that created the resilience to survive every setback.
5. Give away the gold, sell the silver. Generosity is a strategy. Being known as someone who truly gives will create more momentum than any marketing tactic.

Memorable Quotes

"We're not just fueling our body with every choice — we're actually rebuilding every cell. Like a constant renovation of our building." — Julie Daniluk

"You have to build your own home. You have to invest where you are the owner." — Julie Daniluk

"Never forget why you're sharing. Have that pep talk with yourself about how you can be a gift to others — instead of thinking about what you can gain. I promise you, that works." — Julie Daniluk

Margo is a Canadian Olympian who competed in the first-ever Olympic beach volleyball tournament at the 1996 Atlanta Games — and spent the years before that building the sport from the ground up with nothing but a group of passionate women, a bag of volleyballs, and a relentless vision. Nearly thirty years later, she brings that same pioneering spirit to her work in marketing, communications, and sustainability. In this episode, she shares what it really means to forge your own path, advocate for yourself in rooms that weren't built for you, and know when to be brave enough to just start.

• How Margo's athlete mother shaped her relationship with sport and competition from a young age
• The moment on Bondi Beach that changed the entire trajectory of her life
• What it took to qualify for the 1996 Olympics in a sport that wasn't yet officially recognized by Canadian sport organizations
• The key differences between indoor and beach volleyball — and why beach volleyball is essentially an entrepreneurial sport
• How competition can be community, and why your "competitors" might be your greatest allies
• The self-advocacy mistake Margo wishes she had avoided on her Olympic journey
• How nearly three decades in executive marketing and communications mirrors the athlete mindset
• Why knowing what energizes vs. drains you is the foundation of owning your career
• Margo's current work with Toronto Climate Week, Echo Athletes, and her children's book Good Girl Pearl

1. Put yourself in the environment where growth is inevitable. Margo went to Bondi Beach and San Diego not just to train, but to be surrounded by people at a higher level. When your environment matches your ambition, growth stops being hard work and starts being natural.
2. Your competitors can make you better. The volleyball community modeled something rare: competitors who genuinely respect each other, play their hardest against each other, and then grab a drink together. The same principle applies in business. A rising tide lifts all boats.
3. Silence is a choice — and it costs you. Margo's biggest regret is holding her tongue when she knew she should have spoken up. If you have the vision, the expertise, and the lived experience, waiting to feel "ready" only slows everyone down.
4. Know what fires you up — and what drains you. Margo has consistently chosen roles that align with her builder's mindset. The structured, plug-and-play jobs weren't failures; they were data. Use that data to move back toward what energizes you.
5. You don't have to wait until you're ready. Just start. Whether it's a sport, a career, or a conversation you've been avoiding — put it into motion. Fake it till you make it isn't a shortcut. It's a strategy.

• "With beach volleyball, every outcome you have to own — because you're involved in every single play. If you lose five in a row with five different partners, you can only look in the mirror."
• "If you stay silent, nothing moves forward. Be brave. Just start the conversation."
• "The better you are, the better I get. That's how sport improves, how community gets stronger, how businesses evolve."

In this solo episode, host Kelsey takes listeners through the real, unscripted story of how one decision — buying a ticket to a conference in LA back in 2019 — set off a chain of events that led to a $70,000 contract, a $30,000 client referral, life-changing friendships, and eventually co-founding the Wave community. This is a raw, honest account of what happens when you say yes to the room.

In This Episode:

• Why entrepreneurship requires trusting the ripple, not just the plan
• Kelsey's background: 15+ years in marketing, 9 years as a business owner
• The 2019 Toronto business summit that started it all
• Getting a free ticket to an LA conference — and what came from it
• Joining Archangel Synergy and landing a $70,000 contract
• Meeting Michael Roderick and the Hit Makers mastermind
• Saying yes to a Curiosity Quest adventure retreat — 4 months pregnant
• A $30,000 client referral that came in during mat leave
• Meeting Amy Sussex at a brunch and the serendipity of a seat assignment
• The full-circle story of how Emily — now Kelsey's co-founder — entered the picture
• The Wave community, Paris Ontario event, and what's next

Key Takeaways:

1. You can't plan the best connections — but you can put yourself in rooms where they happen.
2. Every investment in a relationship compound over time, often in ways you'll never predict.
3. The same room that gives you one great connection can give you your future business partner years later.
4. Showing up consistently — even for free — builds the trust and visibility that creates opportunities.
5. Being open to receiving, not just pursuing, is what makes the magic happen.

Memorable Quotes:

• "One event, one introduction, one yes: $70,000. I couldn't have planned that."
• "The ripple effect will happen, and it will rewrite what you ever even dreamed was possible."
• "I very much detach from having really rigid big visions, because when you say yes, things change."

About the Host

Kelsey Reidl is an entrepreneur, fractional CMO, and host of Rain or Shine (formerly Visionary Life). She's been podcasting for 8 years, helping entrepreneurs show up consistently and build sustainable businesses. She runs the Wave Mastermind and specializes in marketing strategy, website design, and business growth. Kelsey is a mom to a 2-year-old, an avid mountain biker, and a firm believer in the "rain or shine" mentality.

Vocal performance coach and PhD, Dr. Shannon Holmes, joins Kelsey to reveal how your voice is constantly broadcasting signals about your confidence, credibility, and authority — whether you realize it or not. From the science of human voice perception to practical body-based techniques for speaking with presence, this episode is a masterclass in one of the most underrated professional skills. Plus, Dr. Shannon shares her inspiring personal story of earning a PhD at 50 while raising six children.

• Dr. Shannon's journey: having children young, hiding it professionally, and eventually owning her path
• Going back for a master's degree in her early forties and a PhD at 50 — from Montreal, studying in the UK
• Advice for working moms on presence, letting go, and asking for help
• The science of human voice perception — how quickly we judge others' voices (and they judge ours)
• Natural voice vs. habitual voice: why "I'm just monotone" is a myth
• What vocal masks are and how we unconsciously use them
• The body-voice connection and why it's the foundation of all vocal work
• Pre-performance rituals: how to take up space, breathe in the room, and walk in with authority
• How to train your voice in everyday low-stakes moments

1. It's never too late. Dr. Shannon earned her PhD at 50 with six children and a transatlantic commute. The "expiry date" on your dreams is one you invented.
2. Your habitual voice is not your natural voice. The monotone or quiet voice you use under pressure is a protective habit — not who you really are.
3. Body first, breath second, voice third. If your body is tense, your breath is restricted. If your breath is restricted, your voice can't be free. Start there.
4. Stop holding your breath before you speak. We hold our breath to avoid feeling fear — but that's exactly when we need to breathe deepest. Breath signals safety to your nervous system.
5. Leave the voice to chance and you've already lost the room. All the slide prep in the world won't save you if you haven't practiced how you'll actually deliver the content.

• "If the body isn't free, the breath isn't free — and if the breath isn't free, the voice isn't free." — Dr. Shannon Holmes
• "People confuse their habitual voice for their natural voice. That flat, monotone delivery under pressure? That's not who you are. That's a habit you've built to protect yourself." — Dr. Shannon Holmes
• "You can have everything — just not all at the same time. I really had to learn that." — Dr. Shannon Holmes

Dr. Shannon Holmes is a vocal performance coach, professor, and researcher with a PhD earned at 50, specializing in the intersection of voice, body, and authentic expression.

She is a speaker at the Rain or Shine Wave event on April 17th.

In this candid solo episode, Kelsey pulls back the curtain on what building a business as a stay-at-home mama actually looks like — not the highlight reel, but the real thing. Over three days, she shares her scheduling systems, productivity hacks, business priorities, and the inevitable curveballs that come with parenting, entrepreneurship, and doing it all with intention.

In This Episode:

• The "4 Days in a Day" framework Kelsey uses (inspired by Ed Mylett) to structure her time as a mama and business owner
• Why she increased Freddy's daycare days from 2 to 3 and what that decision felt like
• How she uses "time confetti" (small pockets of time) in the 72 hours before a presentation
• Her morning routine, workout habits, and why she refuses to feel guilty about prioritizing movement
• A real-time look at her client roster and daily coaching work
• Her content strategy anchor: why the podcast is her #1 priority and what she's NOT doing in 2026
• The Three M's framework: Mission, Mindset, Main Ingredients
• Her VA system, Asana workflow, and how she delegates podcast production
• Her experience leading a training in the High Vibe Women community on ranking on ChatGPT
• The power of masterminds — both running one and being a member of one
• Wednesday's curveball: daycare closes early, support squad to the rescue
• The visibility conversation she keeps having with clients: long-form + short-form + in-person

Key Takeaways:

• Structure your day in chunks, not one long stretch. Kelsey's "4 Days in a Day" model helps her show up for her business and her family without burning out.
• If it's not in the calendar, it's not happening. Time-blocking is non-negotiable when you're running a business with young children at home.
• Start with Mission before choosing your strategies. Don't ask "should I be on Instagram?" until you know what your actual business goal is this year.
• Your body is your vessel. Prioritizing physical health isn't selfish — it's the foundation of sustainable entrepreneurship.
• Delegation is a growth strategy. A great VA + clear SOPs + Loom videos = time and mental space to do your highest-level work.

Memorable Quotes:

• "Movement is medicine. If I'm not diligent about scheduling my workouts, they simply don't happen."
• "We can only come up with the right main ingredients — the ones that will make your first $100K or $500K year — if we know what you're trying to do here."
• "People don't know what you do unless you tell them what you do, over and over and over again."

• How Melanie unwinds after a busy week (The Young and the Restless + colouring — no shame)
• The simple non-negotiable daily habit that keeps her grounded
• Her rock-bottom moment in 2019: losing her job, her relationship, and her direction
• Why she made a $10,000 coaching investment when everything was falling apart
• How network marketing became her unexpected entry point into personal development
• What habits coaching actually looks like (and why it's not about pushing harder)
• The single biggest reason people can't stick to habits
• How she balances a part-time teaching job with a growing coaching business
• The morning routine she protects at all costs
• What keeps her going on the stormy, rainy days

1. The pain of not doing a habit must outweigh the pain of doing it. Connect to how you'll feel on the other side — not in the moment.
2. Micro habits compound. Two workouts a week beats zero. Progress over perfection, always.
3. Accountability is not a weakness — it's the missing ingredient. If you could do it alone, you would have already.
4. Protecting your morning routine protects everything else. When one anchor habit slips, other areas follow.
5. Constraints drive creativity. Having a deadline or a fixed window of time makes you more focused and productive — not less.

"There are habits you're never going to want to do. I do them anyway because I want that feeling in the morning." — Melanie Killens

Laura Sinclair shares her journey from corporate marketing to gym ownership to building a thriving online business and community for ambitious mothers. This conversation dives deep into the realities of building a business while raising children, the importance of simplifying your business model, and why you need mentors who actually understand your season of life.

• Laura's unconventional path from corporate BMW to gym owner to online entrepreneur
• The challenging reality of being a mom entrepreneur (and why you don't get it until you get it)
• How to simplify your business by focusing on what actually works
• The power of choosing complexity in the right season vs. protecting your energy
• Why expectations create more stress than motherhood or business combined
• Building in-person community through the This Mother Means Business conference
• Setting boundaries that support your life (like no calls before 11 AM)

1. You can't take business advice from people who don't understand your season of life. Childless mentors may give you strategies that are impossible to implement as a mother—seek advice from people who get it.
2. Simplification comes from knowing what works. Track where your last 3-5 clients came from and double down on those channels instead of spreading yourself thin across everything.
3. You can choose complexity—but only in the right season. There are times to simplify and coast, and times to intentionally add complexity for growth. Neither is wrong; it's about alignment with your life.
4. Most stress comes from expectations, not reality. Define what being a "good mom" and "good entrepreneur" means to you, not what society dictates.
5. Community isn't optional—it's essential. Getting out from behind your laptop to connect with other moms in business reminds you why you do what you do.

• "You don't know what it's like to be a mom building a business until you're a mom building a business."
• "I really do believe that you can have it all. You can't do it all."
• "Do you wanna come over to my house and do bedtime while I host those calls? Because that's not possible."
• "Simple was fun, and now it's complexity time. My kids are both in school. I have the time to do it."

Laura Sinclair is the founder of This Mother Means Business, a community and brand dedicated to supporting ambitious mothers in entrepreneurship. After a corporate marketing career at BMW and owning a successful CrossFit gym, Laura transitioned to the online space helping business owners leverage social media. She now hosts retreats, runs a membership community, offers coaching, and produces a twice-weekly podcast for mom entrepreneurs who refuse to choose between ambition and devoted motherhood.

Marketing expert Melissa Dlugolecki shares her unconventional journey from celery juice educator to seven-figure agency owner, revealing why volume and brand consistency are the only strategies that matter in 2025. She opens up about transforming grief into purpose after losing her daughter, and why the lessons from that journey make entrepreneurs unstoppable.

• Why volume is non-negotiable in today's saturated market (and how to achieve it without burnout)
• The two-person brand persona exercise that instantly clarifies your positioning
• How Melissa applies Tom Brady and Bill Belichick's mastery mindset to business
• The parallel between the grief journey and entrepreneurship
• Why "it's too saturated" is just an excuse hiding deeper fears
• Systems and strategies for producing 60+ pieces of content daily across multiple clients
• The Kintsugi philosophy: filling your cracks with gold
• Tactical tools from grief work that transform business resilience

1. Volume + Brand = Visibility: Success in 2025 requires showing up everywhere, consistently. Your "rent" is no longer a physical storefront—it's your online presence.
2. Don't Take Anything Personally: Whether it's compliments or criticism, your worth isn't determined by others' opinions. This protects you from emotional rollercoaster decision-making.
3. Mood Follows Action: Waiting to feel motivated means you'll never move forward. Commitment shifts energy, not the other way around.
4. Your Brand Mitigates Risk: Consistency across all touchpoints (not just social media) creates the security buyers need to invest in you.
5. Saturation is a Mindset Problem: The real issue isn't too many voices—it's unclear expectations and resistance to reality.

• "If you want freedom in your life, examine your expectations. Most unhappiness comes from subliminal expectations we never agreed upon."
• "It's a volume game. You have to be on demand when the buyer is ready to consume—not when you feel like posting."
• "Your brand is your rent in 2025. Just like brick-and-mortar businesses paid for storefronts, we pay through visibility."
• "Entrepreneurship is ego death after ego death. The post didn't perform well? That's your ego thinking everyone's watching."
• "Everyone is carrying a story we know nothing about. When we lead with that, we live more compassionately."

• Book: The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz
• Book: Scar Tissue by Melissa Dlugolecki (available on Amazon and Kindle)
• Documentary: 30 for 30 series on Tom Brady and Bill Belichick
• Philosophy: Kintsugi (Japanese art of repairing with gold)
• Concept: Chop Wood Carry Water
• Project Management Tools: Monday.com, Trello, Asana

Melissa Dlugolecki is a marketing strategist, agency owner, and author who helps entrepreneurs build powerful, cohesive brands. After growing a holistic health business to seven figures in 13 months, she pivoted to solve the marketing pain points she witnessed in her clients. Melissa's approach is informed by her background in psychology and sociology, her experience as a high school educator, and the profound grief journey following the loss of her daughter, Laden, in 2014. She ran the Boston Marathon five times in her daughter's memory and channels a unique blend of optimism and data-driven precision into everything she creates.

What if your biggest setbacks are actually redirecting you toward your greatest opportunities? In this candid solo episode, Kelsey shares powerful stories of unexpected career pivots, mindset shifts, and marketing changes that taught her to embrace redirection as an entrepreneurial superpower. From getting let go from her dream job to moving cities during a pandemic, she reveals how learning to redirect—quickly and confidently—has been the key to her success.

• Why entrepreneurs must master the art of redirecting on the fly
• The unexpected phone call that ended Kelsey's dream job at Vega and launched her entrepreneurship journey
• How a pandemic move from Toronto to a small town challenged limiting beliefs about business growth
• Why Instagram stopped working for lead generation and what Kelsey did instead
• The mindset shift that turns failures into compass points
• Practical strategies for redirecting your business when things aren't working

1. Failure is your compass - When outcomes don't go as planned, that's not a dead end—it's directional guidance pointing you toward where you actually need to be
2. You can't control outcomes, but you can control your response - The power lies in how quickly and confidently you can redirect after disappointment
3. Marketing agility is non-negotiable - What worked last year won't necessarily work this year; attention and buyer behavior are constantly evolving
4. Limiting beliefs often mask opportunities - When Kelsey thought she couldn't grow her business in a small town, she created The Wave for Women Events and built the exact community she needed
5. Redirection is a skill you can develop - The more you practice pivoting instead of wallowing, the more resilient you become as an entrepreneur

• "Just because something is falling apart, it could actually mean that it's redirecting you to exactly where you need to be."
• "When we can make things that go wrong into things that actually go right, we become more resilient entrepreneurs."
• "Maybe everything you think is going wrong right now is actually going right because it's going to redirect you to somewhere you never could have imagined."

New York Times bestselling author and fitness icon Tosca Reno shares her remarkable journey from 204 pounds at age 38 to magazine covers and massive success, then through devastating loss and financial ruin, and ultimately to creating Transform with Tosca—a holistic wellness program that addresses what most weight loss plans miss: emotional self-care.

• How Tosca showed up for her first bodybuilding competition and magazine cover shoots despite being 20 years older than competitors
• The visualization technique that kept her motivated when she wanted to quit
• The refrigerator trick she uses to stay inspired on hard days
• How she went from unknown to New York Times bestselling author in just five years
• The career-changing moment when the "key model" showed up 35 pounds overweight
• Navigating the devastating loss of her stepson and husband, plus financial bankruptcy
• Why weight loss is often a symptom of deeper unaddressed trauma
• The four-word question that can change your life: "Who am I being?"
• What makes Transform with Tosca different from every other weight loss program

1. Success is when preparedness meets opportunity - Show up ready even when you're not the "chosen one." You never know when your moment will come.
2. Discipline comes from knowing your why - Connect deeply to the reason behind your goals. When you know why, the how becomes easier.
3. Emotional self-care is the missing piece - You can have clean eating and exercise down, but without emotional self-care tools, sustainable transformation remains elusive.
4. Do it in community, not isolation - The magic happens in sisterhood. Accountability partners and shared vulnerability create breakthroughs that solo efforts can't.
5. Ask yourself daily: "Who am I being?" - This simple filter can shift your attitude and actions in real-time, helping you align with the person you want to become.

• "I could see this me that was zinging with purpose and passion. I wanted to be her, and I could see her and I believed in her and she was calling me. So, I had no choice. I went."

• "Success is when preparedness meets opportunity. We have to do that even when you don't have evidence of success yet. We just have to believe it's there because we're all just one decision away."

• "When women come to me and say, I want to lose weight, they're not saying that they think that's the problem, but weight is a symptom and typically it's a symptom of a deeper unaddressed trauma."

Tosca Reno is a New York Times bestselling author, fitness icon, and transformational coach who transformed her life at age 40 from 204 pounds to competing in bodybuilding and gracing magazine covers. After selling over 4 million copies of her Eat-Clean Diet cookbooks and building a massive platform, she navigated devastating personal losses and financial ruin, which led her to create Transform with Tosca—a 12-week program that combines nutrition, exercise, and emotional self-care in a supportive community setting.

In this candid solo episode recorded during a tight one-hour window, Kelsey reflects on eight years of podcasting and shares raw insights about her recent panic spiral in December, the beauty of business inconsistency, and a game-changing mastermind lesson: if your life is boring, your content will be too. This episode is a masterclass in showing up even when you don't feel inspired.

• Celebrating 8 years and 400 episodes of podcasting
• Kelsey's December panic attack: white space, scarcity mindset, and discount codes she regrets
• Why the "best thing about entrepreneurship is inconsistency"
• The accountability power of having a team and manufactured deadlines
• How to hold yourself accountable when you're your own boss
• A pivotal mastermind lesson with Lori Harder on creativity and content creation
• Why your boring routine is killing your content (and what to do about it)
• The Stan's Fries epiphany: doing one thing exceptionally well
• How to create "life as content" without filming everything

1. Consistency beats perfection: Kelsey has shown up every week for 8 years, even when she didn't know what to say. The key is manufacturing accountability through team commitments and deadlines.
2. Business inconsistency is a feature, not a bug: Unlike a job that pays the same $4K/month regardless of effort, entrepreneurship allows you to make $100 one month and $100K the next. Embrace the waves.
3. Panic during slow seasons is normal but temporary: Kelsey's December panic (giving out discount codes, feeling like AI was making her obsolete) lasted 2-3 weeks. By January, business was back to normal. Don't make permanent decisions based on temporary feelings.
4. Boring life = boring content: If your week is the same routine on repeat (desk, Zoom, dinner, bed), you'll have nothing interesting to share. Creativity requires white space, new experiences, and intentional "doing cool shit."
5. Stay in your lane unapologetically: The Stan's Fries lesson—do one thing exceptionally well and don't waver when people ask you to expand. They only sell fries with salt and vinegar. No ketchup, no credit cards, no apologies.

"The best thing about being a business owner is the inconsistency. Let me say that again: the best thing about being a business owner is the inconsistency."

"If you look at your life right now and your life looks pretty boring, my guess is that your content isn't hitting."

"We often build confidence by keeping the promises we make to ourselves."

Kelsey Reidl is an entrepreneur, fractional CMO, and host of Rain or Shine (formerly Visionary Life). She's been podcasting for 8 years, helping entrepreneurs show up consistently and build sustainable businesses. She runs the Wave Mastermind and specializes in marketing strategy, website design, and business growth. Kelsey is a mom to a 2-year-old, an avid mountain biker, and a firm believer in the "rain or shine" mentality.

Brittany Anderson, founder of Momentum Collective and host of the Mom Sweat Sanity podcast, shares her journey from family real estate business to stay-at-home mom to thriving business owner. In this heartfelt conversation, Brittany reveals how building authentic community led to her coaching practice, why accountability is about more than just showing up, and how moms can give themselves permission to grow without apology.

• Why Brittany walked away from a lucrative real estate career just 12 hours after having her third baby
• How hosting monthly gatherings for moms (without Instagram or a website) laid the foundation for her entire business
• The real reason we quit on ourselves more than anyone else
• Why Friday trail runs with girlfriends are Brittany's secret to sustainable entrepreneurship
• The shift from "balls to the wall" workouts to truly listening to your body
• How to schedule your biggest goals without the fancy tools (hint: it starts with asking for help)
• What's actually working in 2024/2025 for growing a coaching business

1. You're allowed to reinvent yourself at any stage. Life seasons change, and so can you. Your kids are growing, why shouldn't you?
2. Consistency beats perfection. Showing up regularly, even when you don't see immediate results, is what builds trust and ultimately converts into business.
3. Ask for help before asking for apps. The most powerful accountability tool isn't a scheduling system—it's a support system of people who see you.
4. Start with community, not content. Brittany built her business by gathering real women in her living room, not by perfecting her Instagram grid.
5. Give yourself what you give your kids. When you show up for yourself, you're teaching your children they're allowed to do the same without apology.

• On entrepreneurship:
• "Being an entrepreneur, it never turns off. We are our own business, we are our own builder, we are our own brand. It really is a 24-7 job, so being able to find that niche for you to make sure you're replenishing yourself is just so important."
• On why we quit on ourselves:
• "The biggest promises we make should be to ourselves. We're also the easiest one to quit on because we'll put everything else before us. Just know that you're worth it and that you will surprise yourself time and time again, the more you just start."
• On growth and permission:
• "When we start showing up for ourselves, especially as a mom, you're giving your kids the permission to do that way sooner than we have been doing. That's my hope and my dream, that my kids just know that they are fully supported by us standing behind whatever they want in this life and just do you without apology."

Brittany Anderson is the founder of Momentum Collective, a coaching practice and community for women focused on personal and professional development.

She lives in British Columbia with her husband and three teenagers, and takes every Friday off to trail run with her girlfriends in the mountains.

Emily Fraser returns to share how she built a thriving online business that generates consistent revenue while working only 1-2 hours per week. After a traumatic brain injury ended her teaching career, Emily discovered how to create a business model that honors her energy limitations—and teaches others to do the same. This candid conversation explores the reality behind "passive income," the power of setting boundaries from day one, and why sometimes the most profitable thing you can do is rest.

• How Emily's car accident and brain injury led to the creation of The Spoonie Mentor
• The concept of "bright lines" (boundaries) and how they shaped her entire business model
• Building an evergreen group program that runs with minimal weekly involvement
• Why Emily eliminated a profitable business coaching program (and what that taught her)
• The truth about expansion and contraction cycles in business
• How her business continued generating revenue during IVF, pregnancy loss, and family grief
• Redefining consistency: what it means when you're not posting on social media for months
• The danger of jumping from guru to guru and constantly changing your business model
• Why "desperation repels dollars" and how to build from abundance instead

1. Design for your constraints first: Emily set "bright lines" before launching—no evening work, limited Zoom calls, maximum 2-4 hours daily. This wasn't negotiable, and every system was built around these boundaries.
2. Revenue-generating activities only: Every 25-minute work session focused exclusively on activities that would generate income. Everything else got outsourced or eliminated.
3. Maintenance is a valid season: Between expansion and contraction lies maintenance—a season where systems run, revenue flows, and you don't have to be "on." This isn't failure; it's the reward for building well.
4. Your worth isn't your work: Emily had to actively reprogram the belief that productivity equals worthiness. Her business generates income even when she's grieving, healing, or simply living life.
5. Test live before automating: Run your offer live multiple times, gather feedback, and ensure it works before creating evergreen systems. Automation amplifies what's already proven.

• "The less I do, the more I earn. I've really focused on these affirmations and implementing these beliefs of what I desire."
• "Every time I've had huge wins in the business, it's been followed by periods of dips because I subconsciously struggle to allow myself to receive."
• "Desperation repels dollars. Approaching anything in business with that mentality is going to set you up for failure."

She's supported over 100 people through her signature program while working just a few hours per week.

1. Action Creates Clarity: Stop waiting for the perfect plan. Clarity emerges through real conversations with potential clients, not more solo planning time.
2. The 5-10 Call Minimum: Before investing heavily in branding or website development, commit to at least 5-10 market research calls to validate your direction and understand your client's language.
3. Early Pivots Save Thousands: One client discovered in month two (through pro bono sessions) that her planned niche wasn't right for her, saving months of misaligned effort and tens of thousands in wasted branding costs.
4. Leverage AI for Pattern Recognition: Use tools like ChatGPT or Claude to transcribe and analyze your market research calls, identifying common problems, language patterns, and objections across conversations.
5. Being "In the Work" Generates Endless Ideas: Client-facing days naturally produce content ideas, direction, and inspiration, while isolated planning days often lead to creative blocks and uncertainty about what's relevant.

• How Kelsey went from HR certification to traveling the world as a fitness instructor and nutritionist
• The evolution from nutrition coaching to becoming a marketing consultant
• Why Instagram might be wasting your time (and how to know if it's actually working)
• The Two-Pronged Approach to choosing your marketing channels
• Breaking down the Three M's of Marketing: Mission, Mindset, and Main Ingredients
• Why influencer and micro-influencer marketing is more powerful than celebrity endorsements
• The two pillars every business needs: saying things about yourself AND having others say things about you
• Practical advice for starting a business without the desperate energy
• How to create a 90-day marketing plan that actually works

• Don't assume social media is your golden ticket. If you're spending 8-10 hours a week on Instagram and getting zero clients, it's time to reassess. Marketing requires experimentation and giving strategies at least 90 days before making judgments.

• Start where you have energy. Choose marketing channels based on what excites you AND where your ideal clients are paying attention. Introverts might thrive with podcasting while extroverts excel at networking events.

• The Three M's of Marketing: Mission (know your goal), Mindset (play the long game and experiment), and Main Ingredients (your 3-5 core marketing channels). This framework keeps you focused and prevents burnout.

• Mitigate risk when starting out. Keep a side income stream while building your business. Wake up early to give your best hours to your dream, but maintain financial security to remove desperate energy from your entrepreneurship.

• Build visibility through two pillars: Say things about yourself (website, social media, networking) and have others say things about you (podcast features, Google reviews, collaborations, speaking engagements).

• "I'm being influenced in the best possible way because I want to know what somebody else's experience is. I want to be influenced so that I can make informed purchases."

• "The number one question to ask is, am I having a good time? Because if the answer is no, no, no, no, no, I worry about that business."

• "Business doesn't just grow by accident—it takes time and nurturing and energy and patience as well."

Kelsey Reidl is a full-stack marketing strategist, fractional CMO, and founder of WAVE Events. Based in Paris, Ontario, she helps service-based entrepreneurs build custom marketing strategies that actually work.

Staci Millard shares her journey from burned-out accountant to seven-figure business exit and back to entrepreneurship with Thrive Accounting. This conversation dives deep into the realities of scaling a service business, the identity shifts required to become a true entrepreneur, and why community and human connection are more critical than ever in our AI-saturated world.

• The pivotal hospital room moment that changed Staci's entire business philosophy

• How to remove yourself from your business without losing quality or control

• The real difference between being a service provider and being an entrepreneur

• Why Staci sold her successful firm for seven figures and what happened during her year "off"

• Building Thrive Accounting: Creating a values-aligned business the second time around

• Balancing personal brand building with actual business growth

• The referral strategy that brings in multiple clients from single sources

• Why the future of marketing is community, not algorithms

• The biggest money mistake entrepreneurs make (hint: it's about gross margin)

• How to talk about money openly without it being weird or salesy

1. Remove yourself early: Building systems that allow your business to operate without you isn't just about scaling—it's about creating a sellable asset and protecting your mental health.
2. Service provider vs. entrepreneur: There's a massive identity gap between "I do great work" and "I build businesses that do great work." Recognizing this shift is crucial for growth.
3. Do what you say you'll do: The foundation of referrals isn't asking for them—it's consistently delivering on promises and overdelivering when possible.
4. Lead with value: Whether it's coffee chats, networking events, or social media, always ask "how can I provide value?" rather than "what can I get?"
5. Community over content: In an AI-generated world, genuine human connection and community are becoming the most powerful differentiators in business.

"I've never been as depressed as I was in that year off. I thought it was gonna be freedom and it was not at all because I no longer had a way of using my gifts and contributing." — Staci on discovering that contribution is core to her identity

"Your personal brand really has to coincide with what you're doing and be more about sharing what you're building than simply being about building you. It's gotta be about a business." — Staci on integrated personal branding

"We cannot do business if we're not talking to people. Period. End of story." — Kelsey on the non-negotiable need for human connection

In this episode, Adam shares the unfiltered reality of building a consumer brand: from testing their first product in a college convenience store to watching 75% of their customers disappear overnight during COVID.

He breaks down the critical difference between having an idea and having a viable business opportunity, reveals how a persistent team member saved the company by pushing for e-commerce (when the founders resisted), and explains why resilience isn't just helpful for entrepreneurs—it's a prerequisite for survival.

This conversation is for anyone wrestling with the "golden handcuffs" of a stable career, wondering if their side hustle could become a real business, or looking for honest insight into what it actually takes to stay alive as an entrepreneur when everything falls apart.

• The pivotal lunch conversation that sparked Awake Chocolate's founding
• Why "golden handcuffs" kept Adam at the breaking point—and how he broke free
• The crucial difference between having an idea and having a business opportunity
• How a college convenience store test proved Awake had product-market fit
• Surviving COVID: Losing 75% of customers in one week and the fight to stay alive
• The team member who persistently pushed for e-commerce (and saved the company)
• Building a culture where ideas are welcomed and continuous improvement is the standard
• Why resilience is the most unglamorized secret of entrepreneurial success

• Start before you're ready: If you're waiting for the perfect moment to leave corporate, allocate time on the side to test your idea. The journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step.
• Ideas vs. opportunities: An idea becomes a business opportunity when people will pay for it AND you can turn a profit. Market test early and often.
• Use digital research tools: Concept testing through apps costs just a few hundred dollars and provides feedback in under 24 hours. Awake uses this multiple times per year.
• Break big problems into small ones: During COVID, Adam and his team focused on solving the problem right in front of them—this week, this month, this quarter—rather than being overwhelmed by the enormity of the challenge.
• Listen to your team: The marketing manager who persistently advocated for Amazon and e-commerce ultimately helped save the business during the pandemic when all physical locations closed.

• "I think the hardest regret for me to carry for the rest of my life would be if I didn't try this. A regret of inaction."
• "There's no substitute for executing an actual market test. When we found out we were selling 20 bars in a week, it was euphoric."
• "Are you a quitter? Quitters are losers. If no, then it doesn't look good today, but you've gotta find a way to solve this problem."
• "I haven't heard a single story that was all sunshine and rainbows. Everybody's had adversity. Resilience isn't just a nice attribute for an entrepreneur, it's a prerequisite."
• "The biggest strength of our partnership is that we know what we don't know. It's liberating to go find people who have that knowledge and capability."

Adam D'Eramo is the co-founder of Awake Caffeinated Chocolate, a functional snack brand that launched in 2012. After leaving PepsiCo with his co-founders Matt and Dan, Adam has spent over 12 years building Awake from a campus-exclusive product to a nationally distributed brand available in major retailers across Canada including Costco, Shoppers Drug Mart, Loblaws, and more. Adam is passionate about entrepreneurship, continuous improvement, and building teams with an entrepreneurial mindset.

Cait, founder of Mind With Matter, shares her journey from working in Australia to returning to Canada to launch her mental performance and sports psychology business. In this honest conversation, she opens up about overcoming self-doubt, the importance of community, navigating challenging days as an entrepreneur, and why "mind with matter" beats "mind over matter" every time.

In This Episode

• Why Cait decided to leave full-time employment to start her own business
• The pivotal advice that changed her perspective: "The job you want might not exist yet"
• How she landed a contract with Canada Games (after thinking she'd "never get it")
• The difference between knowing your values and actually connecting with them
• Practical strategies for working through tough business days
• How to discern between fatigue and fear when motivation is low
• Building community in a new city as an adult entrepreneur
• Why curiosity and joy are essential tools for getting unstuck

Key Takeaways

• Trust the alignment: Instead of forcing outcomes, Cait operates from a place of abundance, trusting that what's meant to work out will work out—and that saying no to misaligned opportunities creates space for the right ones.
• Community is non-negotiable: From practitioner meetups to supervisor check-ins to honest conversations with friends, Cait credits her support network as essential to her success and mental health as an entrepreneur.
• "Good enough" is enough: On challenging days, Cait chunks down her tasks and asks, "What do I need to do to be good enough today?" This mindset shift removes the pressure to be extraordinary every single day.
• Actions precede feelings: Whether building community or starting a business, waiting for motivation or perfect conditions means waiting forever. Taking action creates the feelings you're seeking.
• Fatigue vs. fear: Learning to distinguish between genuine exhaustion and fear-based resistance is crucial. Cait test: Try working for 10 minutes. If momentum doesn't build, your body genuinely needs rest.

Memorable Quotes

"If I didn't try to execute some of these ideas, the pain of regret would be a lot worse than the pain of potentially failing at them."

"There's a very big difference between knowing your value and connecting with your values."

"Every car needs coolant. The more I try and push myself to be amazing on this shitty day, the harder it's going to be for me to show up tomorrow."

Resources Mentioned

Mind With Matter (Cait's business specializing in mental performance and concussion support)

Canada Games (where Cait served as mental performance consultant for Team BC)

Squamish, BC (Cait's current home base and community hub)

About the Guest

After gaining experience working in Australia and with various athletes and teams, she founded Mind With Matter—a practice rooted in the philosophy of working with what is, rather than pushing through at all costs.

She currently serves clients from Squamish, BC, where she balances her work with her love of mountain biking and cycling.

In this episode, I share a preview of where the show is heading, why podcasting continues to feel like the most authentic way to connect, and how I’ve been rethinking what truly matters in the content I create.

I take you behind the scenes of the rebrand currently underway with new cover art and fresh interviews already recorded, while reflecting on the balance between saying “yes” to opportunities and protecting your energy. I also share a powerful quote that has reshaped how I view time and priorities.

Together, we’ll explore the importance of knowing when to move quickly with intention, when to slow down and create space, and how to avoid the “anxious middle” that leaves us feeling stuck.

Definitely not the typical Las Vegas trip, that’s for sure! There was no gambling, no clubbing, and no fancy cocktail bars. 

However, I did get to spend 2 very full days learning from Hormozi’s team on whether my business was prepared to scale, how to identify the weak spots, and what the next steps for growth look like.

It was an incredible experience, and if you can afford the expense ($5000 USD ticket and flights + hotel) then I’d say go for it. The workshop delivered on ALL fronts and I’m glad I went.

The workshop is centered around the concept of ‘scaling’ (ex: growing your business with strategy, to the point where you could sell it if you wanted to). And as someone who runs a Marketing Consulting Company (Kelsey Reidl Consulting, Inc.) which is mainly centered around my own intellectual property, I am constantly negotiating with myself on whether I have chosen a sustainable model for my current life goals.

I wanted to surround myself with $1 million and $10 million dollar CEO’s to observe how they think, how they solve problems, and how they approach opportunity. Even though I knew I would have major imposter syndrome, I knew it was my next step. I also knew that it would push me to become a better, moer well rounded business coach for my clients.

So, Viva Las Vegas! Let’s do it!

In this episode, I’ll share:

• Why I decided to attend Alex Hormozis’ event
• My hesitations around leaving my family for the first time since my little guy was born! (being a mama entrepreneur is a TRIP!)
• What I thought of the workshop experience curated by the Hormozi team + the structure
• The key lessons I learned about Scaling
• Action I am taking and what I will implement

Enter to win 2 signed copies of the Alex Hormozi Books!

GIVEAWAY ALERT:

I’m giving away two signed Alex Hormozi books—100 Million Dollar Offers & 100 Million Dollar Leads!

In this powerful episode, Lindsay Simcik, host of Almost 30 Podcast, joins Kelsey for a deeply honest and illuminating conversation about evolving through life’s biggest transitions.

From Saturn Returns to soul journaling to postpartum rediscovery, Lindsay opens up about her own journey of transformation. She shares what it was like to leave behind a version of herself that no longer aligned with who she was becoming and how motherhood became one of her greatest spiritual teachers.

Kelsey and Lindsay explore how in their late 20s and early 30s often demand a full-body, soul-level reckoning.

Together, they break down why this season of life can feel so intense, how to tell the difference between fear and intuition, and how to build a life that truly reflects you not the one handed to you by society, parents, or past versions of yourself.

Lindsay also shares the powerful inner tools she uses to stay grounded and connected like her soul journaling practice and energetic hygiene rituals and talks candidly about redefining success, slowing down in a hustle-driven culture, and learning to honor the natural seasons of life and creativity.

Whether you’re navigating the chaos of new motherhood, stepping away from something that used to define you, or simply trying to tune back into your inner voice, this episode will leave you feeling seen, soothed, and supported.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE ALSO CHAT ABOUT:

• What the Saturn Return actually is (and why it hits hard in your late 20s)
• The neuroscience behind feeling more conscious, clear, and emotionally grounded around age 26
• How to navigate moments when you realize your life isn’t aligned
• The spiritual power of surrendering to change
• Lindsay’s simple yet transformative practice of “Soul Journaling”
• Why getting quiet (and off your phone) might be the most revolutionary act
• How to read the messages behind your emotions instead of running from them

[06:22] The powerful moment Lindsay realized she needed to completely start over

[09:47] Why chasing “balance” was actually causing disconnection and resentment

On this episode of the Visionary Life Podcast, Kelsey sits down with Sandrine Somé, Co-Founder of Nile Coffee, a black-owned coffee company that’s reshaping the industry by infusing every aspect of their brand with art and culture into everything they do!

Sandrine’s entrepreneurial spark didn’t ignite in a boardroom or brainstorm session. It happened way off the grid visiting her family in Burkina Faso, completely cut off from WIFI. What could have been an entrepreneur’s nightmare became her creative breakthrough. 

The idea for Nile Coffee was born on a bench outside SAm James Coffee in Toronto, where Sandrina and her friends spent countless hours talking about life, work and their dreams. They recognized the gap in the coffee space and an opportunity to build something that spoke directly to their creative community.

Rather than sell coffee as fuel for the 9-to-5 grind they positioned it as inspiration for 5-9 passion projects. In a market where nearly everyone’s coffee tastes good, they decided to stand out through culture, community and meaningful connection. 

Some of Nile’s biggest wins came not through big marketing budgets, but through authentic collaboration. This is your powerful reminder that success in business isn’t just about reach, it’s about resonance.

TIMESTAMPS

[03:21] Why traditional structures feel suffocating and how to carve out new ways to work and live!

[09:45] How Sandrine’s early entrepreneurial sparks and how design + cafe culture helped her imagine new kinds of gathering spaces.

[19:06] How her creative deepened when she gave herself full permission to rest and go inward

[34:14] How you should be building a business that serves the future version of you, not just the present moment.

[44:10] Rebuilding health, creativity, and work life from the ground up.

[51:25] What a ‘creative commune’ could look like

Today we are chatting with the Founder of Ripples Consulting, Ola Adeyemi.

Ola is one of those people who walks into a room and makes you feel like you’ve known her forever. An ex-manufacturing boss from the UK, now an entrepreneur in a brand new country, she knows what it means to start from scratch and build something powerful.

In this episode, we also discuss:

• Why getting out of your comfort zone is where the magic happens
• The real power of knowing your numbers (don’t skip this!)
• How Ola shifted her mindset from employee to business builder
• What it takes to reverse-engineer your six or seven-figure dream
• And how showing up for community can change your whole trajectory

If you’re ready to get your idea off the ground and actually make it happen, this episode is for you.

He saw this gap in the local bike scene, no real hub for mountain bikers and gravel rides, to go meet, grab a coffee, talk trail conditions, and feel like they belonged.

But making the LEAP from idea to reality? That’s often the hardest part.

Nate spent over a year crafting a 90-page business plan. Not because he has to but because he needed to be fully aligned with his vision. That document became his compass.

And then… when he opened the doors. Not knowing who would show up… the COMMUNITY came in full force. They were ready. Not just for a shop. For this shop. His vision.

In this episode, we chat about:

• Why your vision isn’t “too specific”
• How slowing down to reconnect with your “why” can give you the clarity you need to move forward
• What happens when you build something rooted in real purpose, people feel it, and they will show up.

If you’re ready to get your idea off the ground and actually make it happen, this episode is for you.

Today we're talking about Social Media Content Creation... and more specfically, what to do when you get into one of those pesky content creation ruts.

You know, those times when inspiration seems to have packed its bags and left town?

Yep, I've been there too!

In this episode, I’m diving into my own experiences of shaking off the cobwebs and finding that creative spark again.

I’ve discovered this cool little routine I like to call the R.U.T. method – Repeat, Uplift, Teach. It’s been a lifesaver for me in getting back on track with my social media content.

Plus, I’m sharing some thoughts on using AI tools like ChatGPT.

Let’s get into it!

It’s just me today, your host, and I’m sitting down to reflect on the wrap-up of Q1 and all the exciting opportunities (& challenges!) that come with a fresh season.

Honestly, the rhythm of entrepreneurship is such a ride, and I want to share how I’ve been balancing high-energy days with quieter moments for creativity and reflection.

I’ll walk you through some personal highlights and the challenges I faced over the last few months, like navigating a jam-packed schedule with limited childcare, tracking key business metrics (yes, I’m obsessed!), and leaning into the energy that a new season brings!

We’ll also chat about why goal setting feels so aligned during Q2 and the difference between building a business from passion, past profession versus solving a problem.

I also open up about learning to stay flexible and keeping the energy light hearted in the home & in general... to make both life and business flow easier.

Hit play, and let's dig in!

• The importance of personal branding,
•  Knowing When to Abandon a Business Idea
• How to navigate challenges like self-doubt and imposter syndrome as you grow

• And more!

With her infectious energy and wealth of experience, Julie's story will motivate you to embrace the chaos and the beauty of entrepreneurship.

We dig into candid reflections on the importance of self-care, the power of community, and how to navigate both the highs and lows of running a business.

Episode Highlights:

Finding Work-Life Harmony:

Our guests, April Miranda, Angela Lopes, and Heather Haigh, shared their personal stories about balancing the demands of entrepreneurship with personal life. Heather Haigh's reframe from "work-life balance" to "work-life harmony" offers a fresh perspective on managing our time and energy.

Embracing the Entrepreneurial Roller Coaster:

April Miranda talks about the identity shifts and challenges she faced, especially navigating her business alongside motherhood. Her journey from yoga teacher to Reiki practitioner highlights the importance of staying true to your evolving passions.

Overcoming Social Media Comparison:

The roundtable addressed the all-too-common trap of social media comparison. Our discussion emphasized the importance of creating rather than consuming, setting boundaries, and being authentic online.

Staying True to Your Unique Path:

Heather Haigh reminds us that not every business journey needs to be the same. The value of saying "yes" to a variety of opportunities when starting out is emphasized, allowing for discovery and organic growth.

The IRL Event You’ve Been Craving Is Finally Here.

Most women think that the biggest financial leap will come from that fresh new design on your site, that one reel or a specific Pinterest post.

However, in our experience, it is actually the community that you surround yourself with that starts the WAVE of momentum in business growth.

Can I share a quick success secret with you today? It’s a secret that will make you $1000’s or even millions over the coming years.

This is advice that my first business coach told me many years ago, and it has really stuck with me and proved to be true.

It’s not revolutionary,

It’s not sexy,

It’s not to ‘start a Pinterest account, create a membership, build an email list, or launch a digital course’ like all the gurus are telling you.

Those things can come later. Right now, they’re not the priority.

Become laser-focused on your ‘thing’.

Whether it’s digital marketing, gluten-free sourdough recipe creating, or becoming the best spin instructor on planet earth.

Read everything you can about it. Create content around it. Share it with friends and family. Host free workshops. Immerse yourself completely in this one thing—and commit to it long-term.

By long term, I mean years & years & years!

Play the long game.

Success comes from dedicating yourself to one niche, one message, and one plan. Not jumping from idea to idea, strategy to strategy, or social media platform to social media platform.

building a thriving business isn’t about shortcuts. It’s about becoming the go-to person for your niche.

The question is—what’s your niche.

Time is so fascinating, isn't it? We've all heard the expression 'Beyonce ALSO has 24 hours in the day...' and then suddenly felt poorly about our lives. But what does the expression actually mean?

Yes, we all have 24 hours in the day.

But we don't all THINK about those hours equally!

In this episode, I ponder the concept of time. And I ask questions like...

• can we expand time?
• can we contract it?
• what does it mean to KILL time?
• how do we live multiple days in 24 hours?
• do we all treat 24 hours the same?
• what are some time management tips?
• can I work an '8 hour day' in just 2 hours?

And more!

Not only are we celebrating 15 seasons of the podcast, but we're also celebrating 7 years of the Visionary Life Podcast.

Yes, you read that right. We have been creating, producing, and sharing weekly episodes for 7 whole years.

I still remember when I started this podcast with NO clue what I was doing, and I would travel around Toronto on public transit and show up at people's studios, offices, apartments and bring them to my tiny bachelors apartment to record with a $150 microphone.

Let's just say, a lack of equipment didn't ever hold me back!

7 years later, we're still here and I think we've made some SIGNIFICANT upgrades.

Let's get into this weeks episode where I share some New Years Update + Marketing Predictions for 2025.

Some of the trends discussed include:

• why memberships are slowly dying off
• a return to supporting our local community and boost in IRL events
• having friends who are entrepreneurs is vital
• should you worry about scaling if you're not even making money?
• and so much more

Of course, every week is different. But I wanted to sit down 7 days in a row, and record what happened behind the scenes.

I chronicle:

• what I eat to stay fueled (and how I keep meals mega simple around here)
• what I do during my 2 days of child-care
• how we fit in a 1x weekly date night
• spending as much time as possible with Freddie each week, and taking him on adventures
• and more!

Like many of you, I (try to) juggle all the hats—mama, entrepreneur, friend, creative, wife, home chef, workout enthusiast... it's a lot!

And I'm far from having it figured out, but I can say with certainty that I have more energy in this phase of life than I've ever had before because I'm clear on my priorities.

Enjoy!

If you ask me... it's LinkedIn!

(psssst: follow me there! https://www.linkedin.com/in/kelseyreidl/)

Even though LinkedIn has been around for 20+ years, it's more alive than ever before - especially for

B2B interactions and industry-specific content.

LinkedIn is also a great platform for new online business owners, because it supports thought-leadership by facilitating professional updates, creating space for professional content, and it offers the chance for advanced targeting for B2B marketing.

You thought it wasn’t a very sexy platform, and that might be right, but it’s where opportunity is right now!

We'll explore the importance of resiliency, decisiveness, and the art of balancing multiple life areas to avoid burnout.

PLUS I share practical time management strategies, including how I block my day to fit in work, family, and personal growth and why believing in oneself is crucial amid the unpredictable nature of business success.

The Reality of Running a Business is not always as glamorous as what the Social Media Influencers tell you!

It's during those times that exercise these 7 character traits because by building them up, we can stay the course, and recommit to the vision of why we started this business to begin with.

If you're someone who feels like they're meant to defy traditional norms and forge their own way - this episode is for you!

His teams have welcomed more than one million fans to their ballparks and have been featured on MSNBC, CNN, ESPN and in Entrepreneur Magazine, but it wasn’t always sunshine & bananas in Jesse’s world.

Just over 5 years ago he and his wife Emily were sleeping on an air mattress after draining their bank account, about to take the biggest risk of their life. You’ll need to tune in to hear about it!

I first was introduced to Jesse and his epic story through the I Love Marketing Podcast, and I can honestly say that from the moment he started talking I was hooked. You absolutely MUST listen through the entire episode!

We talk about:

• How he thinks about constraints in order to foster creativity in a business environment!
• The importance of experimentation in marketing.
• Involving fans in the decision-making process for their world tour.
• Putting ideas into action without focusing too much on metrics initially. How would this approach work in your field, and what might be the potential drawbacks?
• The significance of storytelling.
• The importance of standing out and being unique. What are some unconventional strategies you could implement in your business to differentiate it from competitors?
• Facing criticism for being different.
• The practice of coming up with 10 ideas a day. How do you currently generate new ideas, and how can you incorporate this practice into your routine?
• Creating long-term fans rather than short-term profits.

Jesse’s approach to building a BRAND rather than a business and creating FANS not customers is the type of marketing that I stand behind 110%. He’s not preaching expensive Facebook ads or fancy funnels, just an epic product and a memorable experience.

Jesse is about to share SO much wisdom with you all and I can promise you that whether you’re running a baseball team like Jesse or just starting a little home based business - his marketing tips are going to ROCK YOUR WORLD.

If you want to grab a copy of Jesse’s Book, it’s called Find Your Yellow Tux: How to Be Successful by Standing Out.

Jesse ALSO hosts his own podcast, called Business Done Differently.

If you’re ready to Stand Out by thinking different, creating attention and creating fans for life - then this is the episode for you.

• The most impactful question from a mastermind call I was on (it's a reminder of the importance of having a tight-knit community in geographical proximity)

Quote from the show:

The Joy of Evolving a Podcast:

"But it is so joyful for me to continue to evolve this podcast and to realize that my evolution may not be for everyone, but that's the only way that at this stage in life, I can show up, be authentic, to obviously continue to stay true to the roots of my business, which is sharing marketing advice and tools and strategies and helping you to stay in that visionary state so you can grow your business."

But the truth is, it did NOT go as planned

My home birth turned into a 9-1-1 emergency phone call at 11:15PM on Christmas Eve

I ‘transitioned’ in the ambulance and had to hold off from pushing, as the paramedic drove top speed to the hospital

My worry in sharing the 90 minute audio file is simply out of fear of judgement of our birth decisions,

My intention in sharing it is to show others that even if things don’t go ‘according to plan’ it’s probably the Universe conspiring in your favour. And that your intuition is probably right… always. So don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!

I’ve had many people ask if I was upset that my ‘plan’ got derailed— and I shared my honest thoughts on this in the podcast episode.

05:35 I was SHOCKED when I went into labour on Christmas Eve and has a Christmas Day Baby! (The least common birthday!)

11:19 Sharing openly about our conception journey, pregnancy loss, and feelings about entering parenthood.

22:38 How I revealed our first and second pregnancy to my husband (& the really confusing pregnancy test!)

48:37 Labour story: my manifestations, navigating pain, and how I found the inner strength

50:54 What it feels like to be pregnant over your 'due date' and how frustrating it is when everyone asks you 'have you had the baby yet?'

01:02:28 The ONLY regret that I have about my labour experience

01:08:47 How I coped with pain in labour, naturally

01:16:47 We had to call 9-1-1 and our home birth transferred to the hospital

01:24:15 Calling in the help from the OB-GYN when Freddie's heart rate was dropping

01:31:57 The magic of spending Christmas as a new family of 3

This conversation comes full circle from last week (I interviewed Brandon on Episode #315 of Visionary Life) and today I reveal the story behind my Justin Bieber "visionary" moment and its subsequent impact on my life's path.

I also take you along the journey from working my dream job for one of Canada's Top health food companies (Vega) in my 20's to the harsh news of being let go from this job and forging my own path!

Brandon and I discuss:

• My passion for conducting experiments (especially as it relates to Marketing)
• The importance of personal energy tracking in order to boost performance and to operate as a high level entrepreneur
• The story about my last mountain biking race and how I surprised myself
• The power of constraints in my personal life and in making business decisions.

He has the biggest heart, a true gift for connecting people together and creating meaningful gatherings, and a curious explorer of life.

I met Brandon inside of a virtual mastermind, but a year later I flew to Park City Utah to meet him in person at a retreat he created for visionary entrepreneurs.

I genuinely enjoy my conversations with Brandon, whether they’re recorded or not, and today I get to share one of them with you.

We're talking about…

• How he got into entrepreneurship,
• His start in the restaurant industry and in network marketing,
• And how he found his purpose for creating a more deeply connected world
• The Ikea Effect & MORE!

And what's really fun too is that I also recorded an episode for Brandon's podcast, the Beyond Curious Podcast, where Brandon is on a mission each week to create a more deeply connected world by catalyzing curiosity.

He has high energy and the largest heart, and honestly I don’t know why you WOULDN’T want to have someone so passionate as a friend, a colleague and person you can call on with questions about life and business.

I wouldn't have jumped on a plane and flown to the USA if I didn't think this human was awesome.

Evie is someone I met very serendipitously, through Facebook Marketplace (where all good business friendships begin.. lol!)

But there's definitely a reason that my path crossed with Evie.

I had only lived in my town for about a year, and was thinking that I needed new brand photos. I wanted to hire someone local, but I hadn't yet met anyone with that particular expertise.

Then, I meet Evie while selling her my Oura Ring - and we booked a photoshoot together (which was epic, by the way - she is a MASTER of her craft) and since then, I've recommended her services to countless clients.

Evie is a mama of 2, she works another job, and she's building her brand photography and content creation business on the side. I sometimes wonder HOW she has the time to fit it all in, but she makes it happen.

In this episode we chat about:

• Why Evie decided to start a photography business
• Her decision to niche down and become a branding photographer
• Her tips for networking, even if you're an introvert
• How she balances her days and weeks as a busy mama who also works another job
• Why she thinks everyone needs to consider investing in brand photos
• & so much more!

Buckle up, I'm going all over the place:

• Why I Went From PC to Mac After 34 Years!
• My Client Reached a $17k Launch (she was previously only generating $450/month)
• Why Everyone Should Bake Their Own Bread
• Don't Give Up On 2023!
• Garage Band Is SOOOO Confusing - But Here We Go!
• How To Be Predictably Lucky
• & MORE!

I met Ryan Castelez at a retreat in Park City, Utah that I attended in July 2023, for adventurous entrepreneurs. Thanks to our mutual friend Brandon Fong (host of the Beyond Curious Podcast) for introducing us, and bringing us together for 3 days of magic!

In this episode, I sit down with Ryan to hear about HOW he turned his dream of opening a coffee shop into a reality. It wasn't easy, but he started small and today he is running a coffee and mixology empire!

We discuss:

• Where he got the initial idea to start Discourse (way back in 2017) and the crazy unassuming location that he picked for his first shop!
• His views on coffee and running a coffee shop (Hint! It is SO much more than just a commodity product to the Discourse Team. It's about poetry, nostalgia, storytelling, etc.)
• Ryan shares some of the first steps he took to bring the idea to life
• His previous experience as an entrepreneur (or lack thereof!) and which qualifications and skillets he leveraged that prepared him for the wild journey ahead as as 23 year old passionate new business owner!
• The marketing strategies he relied on in the early days, having ZERO budget for advertising!
• His philosophy regarding pushing his customers outside of their comfort zone and nudging them to try new concoctions!
• The way Ryan thinks and operates as as seasoned entrepreneur, today
• How’s it been now that he's leading and empowering a team to run the business!

In my opinion, they didn’t!

Perhaps that’s what they’ll tell you on Instagram, but they’re usually trying to sell you something on the other side!

In this episode, I'm sharing the real 8 year journey that I've been on including:

• Exactly HOW I built my business
• The MANY jobs I worked as a built to full time income
• Why I regret NOTHING on this path!
• The different strategies I leveraged to Grow My Income as a Coach
• Why I stuck with it all these years (and didn't QUIT)
• Success Tips for Online Business Owners in their first few years
• & More

Her business was born out of a vision to give a chance at a 'comeback' to people who found themselves in prison, looking for a second chance.

Emily landed in jail after trying to smuggle drugs across the border at the request of her boyfriend, a decision she knew she was uncomfortable with.

Tune in to hear her story of redemption, and giving others a second chance at life and success.

Emily is a former Naturopathic Doctor turned Success Coach, and she is also my BUSINESS PARTNER inside of Your 2023 Leap (90 Day Business Coaching Program) and The Mastermind (a high level space for female entrepreneurs).

In this episode, Emily and I discuss:

• The Origin Story of our Mastermind (why we created it, what we talk about inside of our weekly meetings, who ELSE is inside of this beautiful group, and why it's different from other Business Masterminds!)
• How the Mastermind is pushing me to chase my vision of working less, paddle-boarding and cycling more, and creating the perfect balance of work and play in my life
• The importance of finding a group of Female Entrepreneurs & Community with shared core values, and why it's VITAL for continued growth and success
• My personal journey of immersing myself in 'The Masculine' for many years and joining masterminds dominated by men, but realizing that something was missing.
• What Emily and I learned and gleaned from spending over $100,000 collectively on OTHER masterminds!
• The type of women inside of our group and what some of them have identified as their reason ‘why’ for joining
• The outcomes and successes that our Mastermind members are having.

This is perfect for any entrepreneur or business owner who feels stuck or stagnant with their current marketing strategy, and who wants to be challenged to think bigger and to figure out their next big move to increase revenue.

Marketing Breakthroughs can look like:

1. Identifying that Direct Response Marketing works REALLY well for you
2. SEO taking off, and focusing exclusively on your Google Search Rankings
3. Knowing that 1:1 works better than 1:Many for converting leads into paying clients etc.

Enjoy this episode, and please share your breakthroughs with me:

    Running an Online Business offers so many amazing opportunities— from being able to operate a business without physical storefronts, all the way to connecting with clients around the globe. It’s such a gift to be able to work remotely, and do what I love from my laptop.

    However, no matter how convenient the miracles of modern technology may be — nothing compares with in-person connection! 

    The connectivity formed from face-to-face hang outs (and no, I’m NOT referring to staring at someone’s face through Zoom!) is truly irreplaceable, which is why I decided to host our 3rd official Visionary Meet Up at a restaurant called Planted In Hamilton and we had 16 amazing visionaries (past + present clients of mine, and students of our Visionary Courses) who came from all over!

    Some of the attendees even commuted over 4+ hours to be there

    Others came knowing NOBODY else in the room,

    But all of them OPEN to the magic that happens when entrepreneurs connect

    Tune in to hear ALL the details!

Get ready, because I'm going to be taking you step-by-step through why I ended my free weekly coaching calls, and the results that came from it.

       It was a bold move that I resisted in multiple ways, but instead it had amazing results.

       I'll explain it all, inside of this episode.

       Private 1:1 Marketing Coach:

       Small tweaks to your Marketing Strategy can skyrocket your business success….]]> 0:34:51 false 11 11 https://podcast.show/visionarylife/episode/96291366/ 96291366 https://blubrry.com/visionarylife/96291366/281-how-my-journey-into-entrepreneurship-started-interview-on-the-magnetic-life-podcast/ Kelsey Reidl | Business & Marketing Coach Tue, 09 May 2023 06:00:00 -0400 Today I have a very special episode for you. I'm being interviewed by my colleague and my business partner, Emily Elliott!

       If you aren't familiar with Emily, she hosts the Magnetic Life Podcast and she also is the co-host of the 90 day program we teach for online business owners called Your 2023 Leap.

       Emily brought me on the podcast to ask me some questions about the realness of starting a business and what it really takes to succeed and sharing a little bit about my story and my journey of leaving the corporate world and actually pursuing this life of running a business, but also building freedom, building wealth in all areas of life and having creative control over everything that I get to do in order to run this business and build this brand.

       This episode is super timely because we're actually starting our next cohort of 2023 Leap on May 17th. We feel so passionate about this program overall and why it came to be because Emily and I on paper have built our lives and businesses in very different ways. I'm more of the marketing brain, the strategy, the tactics. Emily is more leaning into the power of attraction and manifestation and embodying that physiology of success. And it's so funny because when we first met and got chatting, we realized that our skill sets are radically different. But as we started learning from one another, we also noticed that we each had a missing link in our business. For me, it was the mindset piece that Emily teaches to her clients. And for Emily, it was more of the strategy and tactical piece. So we actually started working together. And because of the insane results that both of us were having, the constant voice notes of, oh my God, this has been transformative.

       Do you aspire to a wealth of riches, or an abundance in another form? Are you coveting the traditional monetary forms of success and affluence, or perhaps something else? What sort of wealth would you envision having in your life?

       I've been asked recently about the Income Level of our Leap Mastermind Participants, and I wanted to address that this mastermind is about SO MUCH MORE than the pursuit of weatlh.

       Enjoy!

       She lives in rural Ontario where she homeschools and works from home.

       Geralyn teaches cyclical living principles, combining her 12 years of holistic education into my spiritual coaching practice. She is currently training with the Priestess Presence Temple and School of Sacred Arts.

       We talk about...

       • Can you define what Seasonal Living is, and what some of the core principles are?
       • Why is this concept important and relevant for entrepreneurs, especially women, who run businesses?
       • This seems like such an intuitive rhythm to follow, but most of us ignore it. Where did we go wrong? How did we get so far away from Seasonal living?
       • Example of a cyclical business year… The Deep Winter December-January, The Spring Rebirth March/April/May, Summer Fun June/July/August, Fall Beauty… and Chaos! Sept/Oct/Nov

       Other topics:

       • Can you share an example of where we might feel friction when it comes to being visible, growing our business or trying out a marketing strategy that feels in opposition to cyclical living?
       • What are some of the rituals you have around getting work done, but also giving yourself permission to rest and honour the seasonality and the rhythms?
       • Where do you think the world would be if more humans honoured the principles of Seasonal Living?

       Notice how I didn’t say, it will be the greatest vacation of your life.

       But rather, 

       The greatest adventure.

       Because by definition, adventures mean there are a lot of unknowns, unexpected moments, and the potential for sheer chaos.

       Every day is a new adventure when you take the leap into running a business. You never know what's going to happen, and you have to be prepared for anything. 

       You have to be fearless and always ready to take on whatever comes your way. It can be exciting and frustrating all at the same time, but it's definitely never boring.

       And I don't know about you, but I am willing to embrace a life of excitement rather than one that bores me to death and sucks my soul dry.

       Instead of pushing clients directly to a sale from your promotional efforts, the goal is to have them respond and converse with you, so that you can lead them into a sales call.

       In this episode, I share some secrets about DRM and how to use it to grow your business and make more sales!

       If the mission of your Marketing Strategy has anything to do with

       creating connection, building community, or sparking conversation…

She works with Clinician Entrepreneurs and business owners in the health and wellness space to create the impact and income that aligns with their purpose. She also hosts the IMPACT podcast, creates programs, and build businesses that align with her purpose and core belief – that when people have their health, they can change the world. She is here to lend innovative thinking, disruptive approaches and unwavering support to those who are on a mission to leave the world better than they found it.

       I invited Meghan onto the Visionary Life Podcast because I believe that she is a glowing example of what it means to be a High Performing Female Entrepreneur in the Health and Wellness Space.

       I am continually amazed at her pursuit of excellence and her ability to chase her dreams.

       In this episode, we discuss:

       • What does High Performance mean to you? What does it mean to be a high-performance entrepreneur?
       • What do you think enables the best of the best to achieve their dreams, especially as it relates to growing a business of impact?
       • The entrepreneurial journey is not always upwards - how has that played out in your own journey and what do you do or what skills have you had to cultivate to ride those waves?
       • You believe that daily dedication towards the mission is when the growth happens - but what about when a new practitioner or entrepreneur doesn't yet feel clarity around their mission or clear on their purpose?
       • I know that you've talked publicly about being a hard worker and not being afraid to put in the effort, but you also shared that in 2022 you worked really hard and that didn't mean more bottom line or a better lifestyle. (Employee Mindset / Mindset Shift?)
       • How do you tap into your ultimate productivity?

       Well, maybe it's time to shift your perspective.

You might assume that in order to have such a major leap, you need to HUSTLE HARDER but Emily Fraser did the EXACT opposite...

       Emily reminds us that one of the biggest misconceptions that many of us cling onto when we start our businesses is that you need to work INSANE hours, be HYPER productive and live in a DO MORE mentality in order to be successful. This is Toxic and DOES NOT WORK for most individuals, especially women.

       Instead, Emily made the shift to prioritize self care, get restorative rest, make time for gentle movement, etc. and THAT IS WHEN HER BUSINESS BLEW UP

       To learn more about Emily's journey and about her program (Thriving Spoonie Pathway), subscribe to the Visionary Life Podcast (& don't forget to rate and review if you have an extra 10 seconds!)

       Emily Fraser is The Spoonie Mentor and the founder of Thriving Spoonie Pathway (TSP™) which is an interactive group experience that will help you find freedom from debilitating fatigue and unpredictable symptoms in under 12 weeks.

       Emily helps her community to overcome fatigue and confidently move through their days WITHOUT provoking symptom flare-ups, something she has been dealing with since a life threatening car accident.

       In this episode, we dig into...

       • What is a Spoonie?
       • The turning point in her life when she became a Spoonie and how her life changed
       • Why she decided to create a program for Spoonies & how it all came together
       • The types of mindset blocks that she had to navigate
       • The early wins of her students
       • The strategies she implemented that led to a 5 figure launch
       • How she structures her workweek to find balance and rest

       Creating multiple income streams is perfect for the multi-passionate entrepreneur, the visionary with tons of ideas, and the person who wants to mitigate risk.

       Women remain underrepresented in many aspects of society and often are discouraged from creating multiple income streams that empower them financially, OR they have been programmed to believe that their big dreams don't matter. But this doesn’t have to be the same for everyone! 

       Is this your time to take a leap?

       Women can begin building a sustainable financial future by creating multiple income streams.

       The ebbs and flows of entrepreneurship are inevitable: sometimes the sales are booming, other times your sales strategy needs to be re-examined; one day the income is rolling in, the next day you’re living on the edge of your seat and feel like your business is about to combust.

       Despite these ups & downs, we usually wake up in the morning with a renewed zest and a passion for creation - and I know that today's guest and I share that in common.

       In this podcast episode, Sara Monika and I sit down at my house to catch up on the past 12 months of business and life.

       We take a look at how best to navigate through both good times & not so great ones as well as examine tips for maximizing success in any kind of situation along the entrepreneurial journey.

       In this episode, we also discuss...

       - what's on our mind as we navigate the first few months of the year

       - what's been working (& not working) when it comes to growth and marketing strategy

       - what our goals and dreams are for 2023 (& beyond!)

       - how Sara has navigated Motherhood alongside running her business, and sooooo much more

       Navigating failed launches, not getting clients, posting so much content without a boost of engagement: all of these can accelerate your journey to burnout.

       HOWEVER - there are things we can do as Business Owners to mitigate burnout and continue feeling JOY and EXCITEMENT towards the growth of our businesses.

       Things like: prioritizing our Mindset-Hygiene, getting out of the Robotic State that you're in, and reconnecting to WHO YOU ARE and WHAT YOU LOVE, and infuse this work into your NEW marketing plan.

       Brian Scudamore has always taken the road less traveled. At nineteen, he pioneered the industry of professional junk removal with 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, turning a chore people avoid into an exceptional customer service experience. He then scaled that success into two more home-service brands, WOW 1 DAY PAINTING and Shack Shine. Brian’s “Willing to Fail” philosophy stems from his belief in the power of dreaming big, taking risks, and learning from mistakes. Through franchising, he’s giving thousands of aspiring entrepreneurs the chance to live their dreams of business ownership.

       Brian has been a dream guest of mine for many years, and I'm SO inspired by his kindness and willingness to give back to young entrepreneurs and emerging founders.

       Do you have blocks with your Money Mindset, your Earning Potential, or what you believe is possible for you in 5 or 10 years?

       Are you stuck in the 1:1 coaching model and want to leverage your time and earn passive income?

       Let's explore what's holding you back!

       You've got a vision and an idea of how to make it happen, but something's just not quite clicking in order for that extraordinary goal to materialize.

       Sure, there are times when we hit roadblocks that can't be helped - like overwhelming competition or limited resources. But more often than not, what's really holding us back is our own mindset -- those negative stories and limiting beliefs that lurk around the corner waiting for their opportunity to sabotage our progress!

       In this episode, I'm talking about three common mindset blocks entrepreneurs face (including myself!) so you can identify which ones exist in your life and start breaking through them today!

       Block 1: where have you 'upper-limited' yourself?

       Block 2: are you afraid of what's possible in your future?

       Block 3: are you trading time for money?

       In fact, now more than ever we NEED you to bring valuable products and services to the world.

       To stand out from the crowd, you will need to have a good knowledge of how the business world works and what it takes to make a mark. 

       It’s no longer enough to just write a basic business plan, have an average product, and to expect to make millions overnight with an automated sales funnel.

       You must possess sharp skills and a keen eye for ‘what’s working now’ in order to stay afloat!

       Above all else, entrepreneurs in 2023 must be bold with their marketing strategies, and unapologetic about what makes them different from their competition - this could be where true riches reside!

       No matter what stage you're currently at, a Business Mastermind is the way to unlock your full potential.

       With 7-12 members who are on a similar level in business, sharing the same challenges and having the same visions for their future, Business Masterminds can help bring clarity and new perspectives when it comes to taking action on projects or ambitions.

       Being part of Business Mastermind requires being vulnerable, opening up and holding yourself accountable - all components that will help set you apart from your competition.

       You spend much of your workweek alone, and don’t have a regular sounding board or group of trusted mentors

       Your opportunities =

       Growing your network is vital at this stage and you’re aware of that

       You’d rather learn best practices from trusted peers in an intimate environment,

       I love Ed's podcast, and the moment that I heard the episode about 'Separation Season' so much resonated.

       It's nearing the end of 2022 and it's time to start thinking about what kind of person you want to be and what business you want to run by the end of 2023. 

       The end of the year is the time most people take their foot off the gas and stop striving for what they want. They get relaxed during the holiday season, they take time off, and THAT is exactly when you can catch up and surpass them.

       This concept is applicable to SO many areas of our life!

       A few ways that I plan to leverage Separation Season

        

       1. I am committed to at least 2 hours of exercise or movement everyday from now until the end of the year. If I want to be 2x as fit as most people, I need to move my body 2x as much.

       2. I am committed to more reading, less scrolling. I am going to delete Instagram off my phone most days for 23/24 hours. I’ll log in to post content that I’ve pre-recorded. I want to be present, which means head UP from my cell phone.

       3. I am committed to Cold Dips! We’ve been doing them at least 1x weekly and I will continue that.

       4. I am committed to setting timelines & constraints around work projects. If I give myself 5 minutes to build a landing page, I’ll do it in 5 minutes. If I gave myself 5 hours for the same project, it would take me 5 hours. Funny how that works ;)

       5. I am committed to Calendaring! I schedule my days from start to finish (my Google Calendar looks like a colourful rainbow of activities). It helps me squeeze the most out of each day, even if I only accomplish 70% of what I schedule in!

       I would highly encourage you to tune into Ed Mylett's original episode on this concept:

       • Business Update - I am pretty far away from achieving my 2022 income goal, but there’s an important lesson inside of this for me!

       We recently met up for a 4 Day Business Mastermind Retreat in Canmore, Alberta.

       The focus of the retreat was to brainstorm and take our businesses to the next level. We had an incredible time and were able to gain so much clarity and direction for our businesses. We were also able to connect on a deeper level and form lasting relationships.

       The retreat was definitely a success and we are already planning our next one!

       • You have doubts that your success was warranted. Maybe it was luck.
       • You don’t feel deserving of being in the spot you’re in or singing praise for your wins
       • Feel like someone is going to find out about “the real you” sooner or later.
       • Trouble taking compliments 

       If so, you’ve probably experienced imposter syndrome, right along with an estimated 70% of the population. That’s right — those feelings are shockingly common, but no one talks about them!

       One disappointment or moment of uncertainty is often all of the proof you need to convince yourself that you’re not good enough or shouldn’t be doing the work you’ve chosen to do. 

       Imposter syndrome can be defined as a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist despite evident success

       Nobody is immune.

       I’ve dealt with it many times, especially in working with Visionary Clients.

       Like right now, I am building the marketing strategy for a million dollar company. The founder of the company is a marketer, so I really feel like I have no business giving him ideas.

       My reminders to myself right now are that…

       • Everyone suffers from imposter syndrome but nobody has MORE or LESS rights to delivering what you do!
       • You’re not an imposter if you’re creating in service of others (I believe Seth Godin first said this!)
       • It mostly happens when I am teaching beyond my knowledge, or copycatting someone else's material

       The problem with Imposter Syndrome is that it undermines our ability to feel joy for what we’re building and creating each day, and we feel bad when we’re promoting ourselves shamlessly.

       In this episode, I crack into the topic.

Made with Ontario wine and real orange juice. No preservatives or additives.

       The idea for Darling Mimosa started with a few friends, hanging out in a kitchen, making brunch and realizing that there were no canned mimosas on the market!

       After doing some research, they found that no one was making canned mimosas so they quickly got work.

       Today, Darling Mimosa is inspiring you to Live Life on the Brightside!

       Back for his SECOND appearance, today I am chatting with Mitchell Stern who is now the cofounder of Darling Mimosa.

       We chat about the serendipitous moment that was the origin of Darling Mimosa and how 6 weeks was all it took to get traction on the idea and early proof that it was going to work.

       And we also chat about his role as a consultant and advisor to other CPG & Beverage Brands and how he finds balance while having his hands in various projects.

       I've known Mitch for MANY years - we first met way back in the day when I worked as an Experiential Marketer for Vega and I did a lot of collabs with him while he worked at Station Cold Brew and even though we don't keep in touch closely anymore, through the power of social media and the art of a podcasting we have remained friends and I love catching up with him.

       If you're listening to this show it's my BEST GUESS that you already ARE a successful business owner OR that you are working to start your business and it's all starting to come together. 

       And perhaps you tune into this show because of the 100's of interviews with successful entrepreneurs that inspire you or perhaps you enjoy the behind the scenes stuff that I share in solo episodes.

       Regardless, you guys know I like to keep it SUPER real with you and today something is on my mind that I need to share.

       You need ONE day at the start of the week that is CALL-FREE and that SETS YOU UP FOR SUCCESSS.

       For me, that day is Monday.

       And this is a total hack for becoming a successful entrepreneur.

       And I know I know, It's SO simple. 

       But I promise you that a productive Monday and in particular a Monday morning routine will build a week of massive momentum.

       Seriously, if you want to be successful, you need to start your week off right by getting shit done. That means needle moving, value driving, income generating activities.

       When you build your digital portfolio, does it feel exciting to be adding work to it?

       It's easy to get caught up in creating content for an audience of one million, or ten million, or even just a thousand. 

       But the truth is that if your work doesn't make YOU better, than you'll give up when it feels hard. 

       So ask yourself, who is your audience of one? And how can you create content that will make THEM better? When you focus on creating content for an audience of one, you'll find that the process is more fulfilling and the results are more lasting. So don't be afraid to put yourself first, and create content that will help you grow as a person. Who knows, maybe your work will even inspire someone else to do the same!

       Some of these are small and insignificant (what should I post on social today), but others can have a major impact on the future of your business (aka when should I throw in the towel and call it quits on a business that isn’t working)

       When you're faced with a big decision, it can be difficult to know what the right course of action is. This is where inner clarity comes in.

       Taking the time to connect with your inner wisdom will help you to see the situation more clearly and make decisions that are in alignment with your values and goals.

       Inner clarity is not something that you can force or fake, but it is something that you can cultivate through practice. And this is the expertise of Intuitive Counselor, Colin Matthews.

       Colin has studied with many of today’s great spiritual masters (Marshall Rosenberg, Caroline Myss, Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz), he founded and ran a successful community of Yoga Studios for over 16 years, and is certified as a medical intuitive.

       Today he uses his intuitive gifts to support many along their path, including entrepreneurs and aspiring business owners. I’ve also had the great pleasure of working with Colin as his marketing coach, and I am immensely grateful for all that Colin has taught ME in our time working together.

       In this episode, we explore how to make decisions with inner clarity and I think you’re going to love it!

       It's actually toxic and will turn people away from working with you or even paying attention to your content. 

       Desperate energy is characterized by a sense of urgency and desperation. You might feel like you're running out of time to make this business work or that you have to sign the client RIGHT NOW. 

       This can lead to making poor decisions, being impulsive, and not thinking things through - short game thinking. And if you’re in your business for the long game, this is counterproductive.

       Desperate energy is also very exhausting, both physically and mentally. You push push push and then burnout and disappear in order to recover. All that hard work and then you just give up or go dark.

       In this episode, I share a quick thought on Desperate Energy so that you can check in with yourself and see where you're at!

       If you answered yes, you're not alone.

       Juggling the demands of a business can be tricky. It might feel like you traded a 9-5 for the 24/7, or that you’ll never get a real day off.

       But your health needs to remain a priority as you work hard to grow your business! Even making the smallest of changes in your daily routine can have a big impact on your overall well-being and excitement you feel towards your work.

       Before I began my consulting career as a Business & Marketing Coach, I spent many years working in the Health and Fitness Industry.

       I was a marketing managers for Health Brands, I taught Spin Classes, and I even had my own Nutrition Coaching Business for many years.

       Health has always been a passion of mine, so it felt natural to continue to prioritize my health as I started my business. But it isn’t always easy!

       In this blog, I have compiled 10 life-changing health habits (all of which I have implemented!) for entrepreneurs.

       Pick 1 or 2 that resonate, and see how you can start incorporating them into your own routine.

       Have you ever wondered what it's like to Build a Family Chocolate Empire, and stay grounded and sane while doing it?

       (My guess is that NO, you haven't!)

       But in case you were wondering what it WOULD be like, I decided to bring you an epic interview with the founders of Mid-Say Squares: Jake Karls, Lezlie Karls and Nick Saltarelli.

       THIS IS THE OFFICIAL KICK OFF OF SEASON 10, BABY!

       Sitting down in-person with Mid-Day Squares for an interview was a dream come true, but I was also TERRIFIED.

       You know when you've been following someone online for a long time and then you are about to meet them in-person, and you fear that you'll be TOTALLY star struck?

       Ya, that was ME!

       But, I managed to pull my sh!t together and host an EPIC interview. And now, I get to share it with you!

       In this episode, we talked about everything from...

       What inspired them to start the company and push through the challenges that presented?

       What's it like working with family and who they hired for Family Therapy!

       Is there a new flavour coming down the pipeline?

       If you're looking for some SERIOUS business inspiration (and maybe even the secret family recipe to keeping a business fun and enjoyable) this interview is for you!

       These three entrepreneurs took a risk starting their own business.

       Not only are they following their passion but they're doing it together as a family! Talk about #goals... if these guys can do it, YOU CAN TOO!

       Go out there and build your own empire! (and don't forget to tell me about it, when you do!)

       And, I’m asking him about EACH of these 3 things!

       I wanted to know HOW he became a marketing expert, he shares tons of tips for those who aspire to speak on stages like he does, and he gives us the rundown of what’s required to manage your customers expectations and have a great customer experience inside of your business.

       We talk about:

       Customer Experience

       Customers call you when they’re not delivering the experience they want - what are some of the side effects of not having a great customer experience?

       How did you become one of the world’s most respected thought leaders on customer experience,

       Products and services have become commodities that can be bought, sold and forgotten about. But the experience is what stays. Can you describe what a 10/10 experience might look like?

       How can we deal with upset customers or manage expectations

       Speaking:

       What have you learned about the art of public speaking & delivering impactful presentations from stage

       Any tips for delivering a memorable keynote?

       How do you fight nerves going on stage

       In your opinion, what’s 1 essential quality of a great public speaker?

       You’ve appeared on a variety of news outlets, stages, podcasts, radio etc.

       How did you begin to get Media Exposure on your brand?

       What tips would you offer to a listener who aspires to put their message on mainstream media, like you have? Where do they begin?

       Running Your Business Today...

       What does a current ‘week in the life’ look like for you

       Is there a tool / tip / resource that helps you run your business smoothly?

       Anything exciting coming down the pipeline that you’re working on?

       When I am not creating content to inspire the Visionary Community, I can be found adventuring on my Mountain Bike, Paddleboarding down the river in my backyard, or traveling the world with my Husband Dave in search of the best coffee shops and craziest experiences (jumping through Swiss Canyons and snowboarding the Alps are some of my favorite memories, to date)

       Did you know that coaching is one of the fastest-growing professions in the world?

       In 2022, the coaching industry is expected to be worth $2.3 billion! If you're looking to start a successful coaching business, now is the time to do it.

       Here are just a few of the reasons why you should start your own coaching business this year:

       • You can be your own boss - One of the great things about being a coach is that you can be your own boss. You can set your own hours, work from home, and make your own schedule. This gives you the freedom to work around your other commitments and create a lifestyle that works for you.
       • You can make a difference in people's lives - As a coach, you have the opportunity to really make a difference in people's lives. You can help them overcome challenges, achieve their goals, and reach their full potential. This is an incredibly rewarding experience that can bring immense satisfaction.
       • You can earn a great income - Coaches are in high demand, and if you build up a successful practice, you can earn a very healthy income. This means that you can live the lifestyle you want and enjoy financial security.

       If you're not sure where to start, there are plenty of resources available to help you get started, including books, online courses, and even business & marketing coaches like myself who can help you launch your business or grow it from Half-Booked to Fully Booked.

       Do you know what that reason is?

       Are you clear on that thing that sets you apart from your competitors?

       My guess is that many of you listening are thinking, well I kinda know… I think… I could figure it out. But without clear positioning right now, you are leaving money on the table while your customers choose to work with a competitor, because they don’t know what sets you apart.

       Let’s not let that happen any longer.

       April Dunford is a globally recognized leader in positioning and she has a deep curiosity about what makes the difference between a winning product and a loser. And she’s here today to share exactly how we can ALL become winners, through proper positioning.

       I want you to listen to this episode, maybe twice, if you’re a business owner who has ambitions to grow over the coming months.

       This is something I struggled with for SO long - but NOT anymore!

       In this episode, April Dunford and I talk about:

       • Why positioning is so important for growing your business
       • The 5 components of effective positioning
       • The 10 step process to writing your positioning statement and how to use it
       • The most important parts of your statement and specific tips on how to write it
       • Why niching down is actually doing to help you reach MORE people
       • How she determined and packaged up her unique methodology
       • Her favourite marketing books

       Be sure to grab a copy of April’s book, Obviously Awesome: How to Nail Product Positioning so Customers Get It, Buy It, Love It anywhere books are sold and head to https://www.aprildunford.com/ for all her work.

       And for the past 3 months, I've been working on something really epic for Service Providers, Coaches and Consultants who want to Become Fully Booked, and it all begins with an Implementation Workshop for 15 people, at the end of August.

       If you want Early Access to admissions, just fill out the (short) application and I'll tell you about it first.

       In our fast-paced, mostly digital world, it's easy to get caught up in the transactional aspects of our work and in our lives. 

       • We fire off emails rather than picking up the phone,
       • We cut straight to the chase rather than asking our customers how their weekend was,
       • And the at the end of the workday, we buy things online rather than at the local shops & hermit in our homes to order dinner to our doorstep 

       While there's nothing wrong with convenience, it's important to remember that we're human beings, not robots. We crave connection, experience and interaction. We want to feel like we're part of something larger than ourselves.

       But these moments of meaning are becoming increasingly rare.

       The opportunity for you is that it’s the little things like creating memorable experiences, story-telling, and differentiating from your peers that CREATE these talkable moments, and they make a big difference in how your customers perceive you, your product and their receptivity to doing business with you.

       And the best part is that creating a talkable moment isn’t going to add extra work to your day. It’s simply about doing ONE thing that customers NOTICE and TALK about. 

       When we do this, we not only make the world a more enjoyable place, but we also make our CUSTOMER INTERACTIONS more memorable. 

       In this episode, I will share with you 3 simple ways to improve any client experience and to turn every interaction into a talkable moment.

       ]]> 0:29:27 false 9 9 https://podcast.show/visionarylife/episode/87991869/ 87991869 http://www.blubrry.com/visionarylife/episode/87991869/ Kelsey Reidl | Business & Marketing Coach Tue, 26 Jul 2022 08:58:00 -0400 Say hello to this weeks guest, Emma Stern.

       Emma takes us behind the scenes and shares How She Built Felix Health, Canada’s first end-to-end digital healthcare platform.

       This week, we are chatting with Emma Stern, co-founder and chief operating officer of Felix Health, Canada’s first end-to-end digital healthcare platform—from diagnosis to delivery, we make it easy to get prescription treatments. 

       Emma is a force and someone to watch, a true visionary and perfect fit for this podcast. 

       What stood out most to me in our conversation was the line about “If your excitement is contagious, people cannot help but get on board.”

       When you think about the opposite… having a non-contagious lack of excitement… you get a visual of a sinking ship.

       I always say to my clients that they need to become their OWN biggest fans and that if you’re not the most excited person about your offer, nobody else really cares.

       In this episode, we talk about…

       • Her transition from her corporate job in investment banking to startup entrepreneur
       • Character traits that helped her to NOT give up
       • Finding BALANCE as as female founder
       • What keeps you motivated when life or work is getting the best of you?
       • Tell us about the Mission and The Why behind Felix. Why are you different?
       • What were some of the first steps you took to bring the idea to life and test the demand?
       • AND MORE!

       Devon is doing really important work in our world, which involves helping GenZ to build intentional careers and to support mental health by helping them find their path.

       The pressure to decide on a career path at such a young age is unnecessary and unfair. Kids should be free to explore different options and figure out what they're passionate about without feeling like they have to make a decision that will shape the rest of their lives. That’s where Devon Turcotte, Founder of Careerified, comes in.

       Devon and I chat about…

       • How building a business is similar to job searching and some of the things you can do to make it success
       • Connection between mental health and career development, 
       • Where passion fits in to finding a career (and whether you should chase it or let it grow from the good work you do)

       He's always challenging his own beliefs and looking at things from different perspectives. This allows him to come up with new and innovative solutions to problems, including his recent venture of launching dripdrop.gg, the mental fitness app for families.

       He's not afraid to take risks, and he's always seeking out new opportunities - something he calls ‘Following The Nudges’. This willingness to try new things has led to his success in a variety of ventures. 

       Some of the other awesome things you’re going to learn from Jason in the podcast include:

       The Benefits of Getting Into Your Body

       Whether that’s by doing mushrooms, practicing breathwork, doing meditation, or taking long walks -- whatever you need to do to stop suppressing your emotions and feelings so that you can truly connect to what your mind and body are saying is going to be SO advantageous for your personal and professional growth.

       This is a topic often overlooked by hustle culture, but something Jason deeply believes in.

       Business Ideas Hide in the Mountains!

       In the mountainous terrain of Quebec is where Jason solidified the idea for dripdrop.gg! Tune in to hear the full story…

       Pay attention to your Default Programming

       Most of us are oblivious to the fact that we have downloaded other people’s programs into our minds and bodies, and then we run these programs like they’re our own!

       Jason talks a lot about removing the programs that aren’t serving you fully, and then asking which ones you want to replace them with? This is an important topic for anyone with a Growth Mindset.

Each week I have new clients to onboard, new challenges to work with my clients on, and new marketing tools that I am testing out.

       As such, there is no typical day in the life of a Business & Marketing Coach. However, there are a few common threads that run through the work of most coaches.

       Business and marketing coaches typically work with clients one-on-one or in small groups, helping them to develop customized plans for achieving their business goals. They also often provide guidance on topics such as time management, goal setting, and effective marketing strategies.

       In addition, Business & Marketing Coaches may also offer workshops and webinars on various aspects of business and marketing. As the industry continues to grow, the role of Business & Marketing Coach is to stay atop the trends so that they can share them with their clients.

       In this episode, I am sharing what a day in the life looks like for me as someone who works from home full-time, has a lot of hobbies outside of work, and who loves to maximize each day both personally and professionally.

       According to today’s guest, Dr. Navaz, there sure is. In fact, he’s lived it.

       Dr. Navaz knows first hand that changing your state of health can drastically change your output as a business owner… When he found himself tipping the scales at 250 pounds, he knew he needed to make a change.

       He transformed his health and his energy levels over the coming months using several of the strategies that we discuss in today’s episode… and in turn, Navaz also managed to accelerate the growth of this business-- seeing a 100% increase in revenue in just 1 year.

       Dr. Navaz practices as a Functional Medicine Practitioner - working with a range of clients, including CEOs, entrepreneurs, executives and professional athletes to optimize their health, vitality and performance. 

       He’s also the author of a book called Activate Your Vagus Nerve, which shares information on how to Improve the function of the most important nerve for your health. You’ve probably never even heard of it right?

       In order to launch or grow a successful business, we must cultivate the Entrepreneurial Mindset which is a way of thinking that enables you to overcome challenges, be decisive, and accept responsibility for your outcomes. It is a constant need to improve your skills, learn from your mistakes, and take continuous action on your ideas.

       In this episode, I am sharing the MOST common Mindset Blocks that I see in New Online Business Owners (and sharing how you can overcome them!)

       They teach us about ourselves, about others, and about the world around us.

       Life lessons can be learned in many different ways, but some of the most important life lessons are learned through business and vice versa.

       Here are 5 of the most important life lessons that I've learned that have helped me grow my business.

       If you have a dream of writing a book one day (even if that day is far away!) then this is the episode for you.

       Scott wrote a book called Entrepreneur to Author: the 5 steps to writing and publishing a nonfiction book that builds authority and grows your business. The book is right in front of me and I have very much enjoyed diving into it and scribbling out notes about my future book.

       Defined as a feeling of fellowship with others, as a result of sharing common attitudes, interests, and goals - feeling rooted in community is important in everyday wellbeing and feeling less alone as we navigate life.

Despite not having any experience in business, she took a leap of faith and launched her own company, Krave Granola. Fast forward to today, and her company is thriving. Thanks to her hard work and dedication, Nichole is living proof that anyone can achieve their dreams if they are willing to put in the effort. In addition to being a success story, Nichole is also an incredible role model for other women both in Canada and around the world. She is a reminder that no matter where you come from or what your circumstances may be, anything is possible if you have the courage to pursue your dreams.

       We discuss:

       • How she decided on Granola as a business
       • What she was doing before launching her company
       • Testing out multiple side hustles and deciding which one was for her!
       • Dealing with an abusive relationship, depression, suicidal thoughts and anxiety 
       • Finding a unique edge to granola that sets her product apart
       • Why she wanted to do a direct to consumer business

       That empire is called Spread’Em Kitchen and they make the most delicious plant-based cheeses, ever!

       Made with a base of cashews, Spread’Em cheeses make for a healthy and much more delicious alternative to typical Cream Cheeses or Cheese Bricks.

       Personally, I am obsessed with the Chive & Garlic Cream Cheese, The Classic Greek Inspired Cheese Block, and the Spinach Cashew Dip.

       Every single product that they make contains the highest quality ingredients that you can feel good about putting into your body.

       Spread’Em Kitchen exploded across Canada in 5 years and grew from $500 in sales to almost 4 Million in a short time.

       From ‘home kitchen’ to building her own 20,000 square foot facility in Richmond B.C, Mellisa also has a small team of people helping her spread the goodness and she is on a mission to give back to the community.

       My conversation with Mellisa is real, honest, and transparent. She speaks openly about her humble beginnings and about the work it took to get to where they are today.

       Sometimes it feels like you're dragging yourself uphill through quicksand, but when you reach the top and look back…you've hosted 200 episodes! 

       Holy crap! 

       Alongside the challenges there have also been a number of funny, random and serendipitous stories that I have never shared publicly before.

       Things like FORGETTING to record an episode and having to break it to the guest,

       Having random guests join your interview at the last minute!

       And being let in on some REALLY BIG SECRETS because your guest can't contain themselves.

       It has been an amazing 4 years / 200 episodes and I’m so grateful for all of the wonderful listeners (you!) who have let me slide into your earphones.

       Thank you to each and every one of you, and also to my incredible sound engineer Dave Drago (my husband) who is a huge part of why this podcast is such a success!

       With that said, we still want your suggestions on what topics should be covered in future episodes.

       If there's something specific that interests you or a guest that you think is a fit, please message me on Instagram @kelseyreidl.

       We're always looking for new ideas!

       You might remember Cheryl from episode 3. The early days of the show!

       Chery was one of our first guests on Visionary Life, and almost 4 years ago I remember taking the TTC to the spin studio she works at called Torq, and sitting on the windowsill recording with a single $90 microphone.

        

       Let’s just say, a LOT has changed since then! Both for Cheryl and for the podcast.

       Today, I’m hanging out with Cheryl virtually to learn all about Uncle Chucks BBQ sauces: where the idea came from, how she’s now selling them in 5 stores, and what the future looks like for the business. 

       Cheryl holds nothing back in this episode, and I really think you’re going to dig it!

       We talk about:

       • What it’s like being on a TV show
       • Why she left the food industry after 20 years
       • What brought her back and nudged her to launch her own brand, Uncle Chucks
       • & why she’s scaling slowly

       Jenny is The President of STRONG Fitness Mag, Founder of Team Strong Girls, Fitness Coach turned Fitness Publisher and Host of Find Your Strong Podcast.

       She’s also a Mom of 2 and Wife, and fun fact she’s actually in business with her husband!

       Jenny does a lot, but still shows up to serve and connect with her community just like she did back in 2012 when she launched her bootcamp classes and was trying to escape her job selling laser toners, which was NOT her passion.

       In this episode we chat about:

       • Jenny’s transformation story and her McDonald’s miracle that was a true wake up call
       • The moment she decided to enroll herself back at school and stop her partying lifestyle in pursuit of more purpose
       • We talk about the highs and lows over the past decade as a business owner
       • Where the business is at today and what her team looks like

       Peter Neal is one half of the brotherly duo behind Neal Brothers Foods.

       You’ve probably indulged in their epic Corn Tortilla Chips dipped in salsa, or their insanely tasty pasta sauces… but did you know that this well known Canadian Food Brand and Distribution Company started as 2 brothers making croutons out of their parents kitchen?

       Yepp, it’s true.

       Over 33 years ago, Neal Brothers began as a simple startup and today it has grown into something SO MUCH MORE.

       In this episode we chat about…

       • The moment he knew he was a natural born salesman
       • Why having belief in yourself and in your products is so important
       • What some of the early successes were in the Neal Bro’s journey, that gave them hope
       • The role of curiosity and asking questions, when you don’t have all the answers

       His teams have welcomed more than one million fans to their ballparks and have been featured on MSNBC, CNN, ESPN and in Entrepreneur Magazine, but it wasn’t always sunshine & bananas in Jesse’s world.

       Just over 5 years ago he and his wife Emily were sleeping on an air mattress after draining their bank account, about to take the biggest risk of their life. You’ll need to tune in to hear about it!

       I first was introduced to Jesse and his epic story through the I Love Marketing Podcast, and I can honestly say that from the moment he started talking I was hooked. You absolutely MUST listen through the entire episode!

       Jesse’s approach to building a BRAND rather than a business and creating FANS not customers is the type of marketing that I stand behind 110%. He’s not preaching expensive Facebook ads or fancy funnels, just an epic product and a memorable experience.

       Jesse is about to share SO much wisdom with you all and I can promise you that whether you’re running a baseball team like Jesse or just starting a little home based business - his marketing tips are going to ROCK YOUR WORLD.

       If you want to grab a copy of Jesse’s Book, it’s called Find Your Yellow Tux: How to Be Successful by Standing Out.

       Jesse ALSO hosts his own podcast, called Business Done Differently.

       He might be one of the most inspiring, creative and appreciative individuals I have ever met.

       To begin, I want to share how Blake’s work has impacted my life and my business.

       • Because of Blake, I send my friends and family members text messages when I think of them
       • Because of Blake, I am empowered to send messages of gratitude and snail mail just to say “thinking of you”
       • Because of Blake, I have signed new clients
       • Because of Blake, I believe in the power of Scrap Paper, Road Signs & Cereal Boxes.

       I know, you’re totally lost and have no clue what I mean - but by tuning into this episode and learning from Blake on the power of Unexpected Appreciation, Gratitude & Creative Connection - you’re going to have a whole new appreciation for how SIMPLE marketing and business growth can be.

       My visionary community already knows Blake quite well because he’s spoken inside of TVM before, but if you’ve never met Blake a few things to know about him are that he is a 8Time TEDx Speaker and currently he helps entrepreneurs connect to anyone and grow their business by delivering unexpected appreciation and gratitude. Also, he’s an amazing event producer.

       In this episode, we dive into...

       • Why he started sending random kind emails to people and what their reactions were
       • How he landed a $15,000 speaking gig a mere few weeks before his wedding, because of a photo he sent
       • The power of public accountability in reaching your goals
       • And the 6th annual Thank U Live event that he’s currently pouring into (click here to get your ticket!!)

       Blake is an idea-holic (is that a word!?) who is going to FIRE YOU UP inside this episode.

       Julia is doing INCREDIBLE work in the realm of helping people press publish on personal essays.

       I know I know, you just checked out as soon as I said the word “essay” right, but our guest of the show today, Julia Rose, is going to walk us through why personal essays can be the secret to expressing yourself, launching a successful brand and being a subject matter expert.

       I am SO fond of Julia’s work and love what she’s created inside of her Hello Writer program. The story of how she created this group experience is something you won’t want to miss, if you ALSO aspire to launch a group program or online course at some point.

       In this episode, Julia and I talk about…

       • How being fired (on a Friday!) was the catalyst for her to start her own business
       • The impact that publishing her work on Medium.com had
       • A simple method for choosing what to write about
       • How to get over the fear of putting yourself out there
       • Navigating through imposter syndrome, when you feel like there are other people out there who are more established
       • And how to find your first few clients

       She’s back!

       Returning for her 2nd… or actually, maybe 3rd appearance on the show - let me re-introduce you to Fan Favourite, Stephanie Long.

       Steph is a business coach for nutritionists, the founder of the launch your nutrition biz program, the host of the next level nutrition biz podcast - and recently, the girl who took 1 month off from her business!

       Yepp, you heard that right, Steph took august completely off from work because she wanted to focus on herself and on recharging.

       After reconnecting with the WHY behind starting her business, which was to have more freedom and flexibility, Steph decided to step back for the month of august and the best part was that the business didn’t become irrelevant.

       After learning about her little sabbatical, I was SO inspired to start prepping for one of my own in the future, and wanted to sit down with her and ask her how it went. Was she scared that she would be forgotten? How did she communicate this to her clients? Was there anything she would have done differently?

       In this episode, Steph and I also chat about…

       • How she’s been setting up more funnels, automation and evergreen content inside of her business and how it’s going
       • The power of discipline in creating FREEDOM 
       • The power of data and metrics in improving the flow of her funnels
       • And whether or not she will stay niched down to working with mostly nutritionists

       I admire Steph so much for the business she has built, and more than just being a podcast guest - Steph is also a friend!

       Even though we’ve never officially met in person, our lives have run many parallel courses and we never hesitate to reach out to ask each other business questions or share wins and successes.

       This week, I’m sitting down with my friend and visionary method alumni Krista.

       On Instagram as @kristako.rd because her last name is slightly hard to pronounce, she is the go-to resource for dieticians who want to amplify the success of their business.

       Krista founded the Dietitian Success Center just 6 months ago, and has already grown it to almost 200 members - and I wanted to bring her on to the podcast to share more about her journey of navigating her career as a dietitian, and taking the “unconventional” route even when it felt challenging.

       In this episode, Krista and I chat about…

       • What she did when she first graduated from school
       • How she was able to go freelance and match her corporate salary
       • The simple marketing and lead gen strategy that she used to begin her 1:1 coaching practice
       • How the idea to launch the DSC came to be

       Queen Street Bakery was built on the belief that food companies should be as transparent about what they put into their food as what they remove. Because we know all to well that just because something is gluten-free, doesn’t mean it’s good for you.That’s why we’re proud to make our breads, buns and doughs from simple functional ingredients that feel good to eat. Ingredients that are naturally full of fiber and protein and naturally free from gluten, nuts and dairy.

       Their breads, buns, pizza dough and baking flours can be found across Canada and they are leading the gluten-free, allergen-free and taste-FULL bread category.

       Just one taste of their White Bean & Millet Seed bread or their Cinnamon Raisin Loaf will be enough to convert you. These products are insanely delicious and more than that, they’re packed with nutrients.

       In this conversation, we’re rewinding back to just a few years ago when Giovanni first had the idea to start a bakery and how that led them to finding placement in 100’s and 100’s of stores across Canada.

       Giovanni and I chat about:

       • The startup story of Queen Street Bakery
       • Where the idea for the business originated
       • How they got into Canada’s largest grocery store chain (Loblaw’s)
       • The #1 ingredient you need before pitching to investors for money
       • Business and marketing skills that he’s trying to upgrade as a Founder
       • The true definition of an entrepreneur
       • Why everything is cyclical 
       • Marketing strategies that have been working REALLY well for Queen Street Bakery, even throughout the pandemic when sampling is not possible
       • & more

       Also, you can find Queen St. Bakery products in the frozen aisle at Healthy Planet (our show sponsor!), so don’t forget to check the frozen aisle when you’re shopping at one of their MANY stores across Ontario!

       For as long as Zoe could remember she wished for happiness whenever she found a penny, saw the first star of the evening, or had a birthday candle to wish upon.

       It was the simple dream of a little girl whose childhood was profoundly bleak. Zoe suffered through poverty; physical, emotional and sexual abuse; bullying and depression.

       But even in that darkness there were moments when her heart would tell her that happiness WAS possible.

       Her journey has been anything BUT linear and she’s a true example of how strength and purpose can come from our biggest challenges and struggles.

       I admire Zoe for so many reasons, but one that I’d like to call out is her willingness to be vulnerable, open and honest. One of her goals is to become more visible which is certainly not easy, but she rose to the task of this podcast with confidence and calmness.

       In this episode, we’re pulling the curtains back on…

       • What her childhood was like and how that shaped who she is today
       • The journey towards becoming a Happiness Coach
       • Some of the first steps she took to set up her website
       • How The Visionary Method Coaching supported her next level of growth
       • And tips for getting more visible when it doesn’t come naturally

       And I couldn’t agree more.

       Dr. Navaz knows first hand that changing your state of health can drastically change your output as a business owner.

       When he found himself tipping the scales at 250 pounds, he knew he needed to make a change.

       He transformed his health and his energy levels over the coming months using several of the strategies that we discuss in today’s episode… and in turn, Navaz also managed to accelerate the growth of this business-- seeing a 100% increase in revenue in just 1 year.

       Dr. Navaz practices as a Functional Medicine Practitioner - working with a range of clients, including CEOs, entrepreneurs, executives and professional athletes to optimize their health, vitality and performance.

       He’s also the author of a book called Activate Your Vagus Nerve, which shares information on how to Improve the function of the most important nerve for your health. You’ve probably never even heard of it right?

       I would highly suggest digging into his book or his resources, because it’s super fascinating stuff!

       As many of you know, I used to practice as a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, so the topic of Health is near and dear to my heart.

       I could talk forever about the correlations between how I take care of myself and the growth of my business, but I wanted to bring on a true expert in the field.

       Let’s welcome Dr. Navaz to the show so that he can share The Top 10 Health Upgrades for Entrepreneurs or anyone looking to make a positive change in their life, health or business.

       I don’t necessarily set goals in the traditional way either, in that I will often find quirky ways to solidify the goal in my head.

       If you’re a non-traditional goal setter like me (perhaps, a goal-setting rebel) then I want to share some of my tips with you for setting meaningful, reachable goals on an ongoing basis.

       This method takes the pressure off of knowing exactly what you want out of your life and business in a 1 hour goal planning session, and instead honours the fact that you are a constantly evolving human being with changing needs and new perspectives.

       Here are 5 ways that I set goals, in a non-traditional (but still super-successful) manner. Whether you’re an aspiring online entrepreneur (pssssssst, have you heard of The Visionary Method™) or just want to set some simple health goals, I am certain you will find success in picking one of these methods.

       P.s. Whenever you’re ready, here are 3 ways I can help you…
       1. Do you dream of Starting your Online Business? Join my online business coaching experience The Visionary Method™ that will help you to create, launch and grow your business!

       I was first introduced to the art of breathwork and Jenn’s magical talents at a conference that I attended about 10 months ago, and even though I had never done breathwork, I realized after I posted an IG story mentioning the session with Jenn, that her work has actually impacted MANY of my friends and my peers.

       Messages like …

       “OMG Her Sessions are AMAZING”

       “I’ve been doing breathwork for years and it’s helped me get through some really tough times”

       Needless to say, I was pretty intrigued.

       In this conversation, Jenn and I dive into…

       • How she found breathwork and ultimately ended up training as a breathwork facilitator,
       • The fears she came up against in taking the leap into launching her business,
       • How she’s been able to grow it into a 6 figure business,
       • The results that her clients experience.
       • & so much more

       If you’d like to attend one of Jenn’s upcoming sessions, check her calendar at https://www.jennmansell.com/events

       I think you’re going to really love this conversation with Jenn, so let’s dive right in!

       The idea to launch ChefTorial was actually a pivot that Rivers was forced to make when COVID hit, since his previous company taught all in person events - so this conversation is one of adapting, pivoting, and responding to change.

       … Something Rivers is NO stranger to!

       He’s been an entrepreneur for over 20+ years and has learned a thing or two about what it REALLY takes to succeed.

       In this episode, Rivers and I discuss…

       • How he was able to start a Chef Talent Agency, even though he’s not a chef (& how you can do the same)
       • Why it’s important to look for the opportunity or lesson in every challenge
       • How taking care of yourself is actually priority #1 as a business owner
       • The books that he recommended all new business owners read
       • Why his burger chain, Relish, ended up shutting down due to bankruptcy
       • Why it’s important that we normalize failure
       • & so many other real lessons

       As I mentioned, I had the opportunity to test out an experience (Mexican night!) with my friend Hillary & we had SO much fun making tacos and eating churros.

As an international minority, a person of colour, a woman in tech and millennial she is relentless about ensuring that none of these things will hold her back along her journey, or in the journeys of anyone who follows in her same footsteps.

       She knows that as she is able to push through the ranks, she’ll then be able to turn back and lend a hand to others who need her allyship and support.

       I’m deeply inspired and humbled by this awesome conversation, so without further ado let’s get into it with Niya Kathri.

       In addition to being the founder of a wildly popular strength -based Yoga Method for athletes, Jana is also a fighter, a resilient mom, an entrepreneur, and an unstoppable visionary who has pushed through numerous setbacks and challenges in her life.

       One of those setbacks was a life or death car accident that happened in the Dominican Republic which left her body broken, just a mere few days after she had signed a million dollar lease for her first physical JOGA Studio in Toronto.

       It’s hard to imagine how she could have possibly persevered through a broken back & a traumatic brain injury in order to continue to bring her dream fitness studio to life, but she did.

       What started as a curiosity in how she could bring Yoga to athletes has turned into a journey beyond what she could have imagined.

       Simply following her inner voice when it felt confusing has brought her to a place today, building JOGA as an Online Brand that is helping train athletes & certify instructors all over the world. To date, over 700 individuals have moved through JOGA training. Wow.

       In this episode, Jana pulls the curtains back for us on…
       • How she was introduced to yoga in her early years as a form of rehab after a car accident
       • How yoga & particularly her method JOGA saves her life after her car accident, and why she was in the Dominican to begin with
       • Why she signed on to the cast of The Real Housewives of Toronto
       • What it was like to build a business from her hospital bed
       • The heartbreak of running out of money & closing the studio
       • How she has found opportunity through COVID 19
       • Why she’s decided to be more open, honest and vulnerable rather than pretending everything is ok

       The truth is, nothing can really prepare you for what lies ahead in your entrepreneurial journey! There will be peaks, and there will be valley's, but I promise you that all of it happens to make you a better business owner.

       • Hustle culture, the idea that working more is better
       • We’re exposed to influencers who are selling us products they’ve never even tried
       • Coaches are using fancy cars & designer handbags to project that they’re living a dream lifestyle, when in reality they are just as scared as you that they won’t be able to pay off their next credit card statement

       I can’t even believe this is where we’ve landed, but it’s real!

       When we really step back and look at what’s happening, we can see that many of these toxic business rituals are rooted in insecurity and scarcity, and many of them are just unethical.

       As business owners it is our duty to stay true to our moral code and to build a business that’s reflective of our core values.

       Since we often pass along what WE were taught to our own communities, we have to adopt the Top Down Mentality whereby Better, More Conscious businesses STARTS WITH US.

       This is exactly what our guest of the show today will be addressing.

       When thinking about how I could introduce the topic of Ethical Business to you, my visionaries, an incredible entrepreneur named Natalie Brite came to mind.

       Natalie Brite is a writer, educator, mentor and consultant for the topics of ethical business ideation, branding, content marketing, service development, and transformative leadership.

       In this episode, Natalie and I talk about…

       • How she stumbled into the realm of Conscious Business and what exactly it means to build a business consciously.
       • The top business and marketing trends she’s seen thus far in 2021
       • How we can shift back to a people over profit model
       • The problem with manipulative marketing
       • Why she encourages her community turn up the rebel, revolutionary and visionary archetype right now
       • Harmful business systems that we currently accept as “normal”
       • Flipping the way we practice marketing and selling
       • Her definition of “Growth Mania”
       • Death and birth + business as a cycle
       • Why the Hustle Economy isn’t right for everyone
       • Why it’s impossible to exist in a constant state of growth
       • Manipulation marketing and why it’s harmful
       • Conscious business trends for the first quarter of 2021 & more
       If you want to build a business that aligns with your values, that feels good in your conscience and that is reflective of your mission in life… this is the episode for you.

       • Another thing I want to create space and time for is holding the vision of Visionary Inc, while showing up in the present for my clients. Making time to dream and explore what’s possible is something that easily falls away when time is tight.

       How about you?

       What are your wins?

       What’s challenging?

       Anything I can help you with?

       Let’s get into the episode - a recap on the past 6 months…

       Topic # 1

       What it's been like moving from Toronto (population 3 million) to Paris, Ontario (population 15,000)?

       • My nervous system is calming down and unlearning the hustle and pressure I put on myself in Toronto
       • I think I could be happy anywhere, so it’s been wonderful
       • Things I’ve enjoyed include: meeting new people, finding new ways to adventure (canoe, paddle board, night hikes, cycling routes, gravel rides)
       • Of course, there is so much I miss from Toronto including: my VISIONARY HQ (office), meeting people at the Drake for beers, the endless amount of good food, the walking and running routes, my cycling crew BOW+, the beach volleyball

       Topic # 2

       How my business has been impacted by this move?

       • I had a lot of hesitation around the limiting belief of “would I be able to run a business if I wasn’t in Toronto?”
       • However, I have proved myself wrong! We are growing month over month
       • In fact, March 2021 is our biggest month ever. In just 3 months I’ve surpassed the salary that I was once paid at a corporate job which blows my mind. It reminds me that there is NO limit when you own a business. The limit is your belief system
       • I’m still networking, but now it’s online! I’ve been meeting the most awesome people regardless of whether I am in Paris or Toronto

        

       Topic # 3

       Initial reflections on how I've changed as a person, since moving here

       • I haven’t! A move doesn’t change you…
       • Same as when you travel (wherever you go, there you are)
       • Dave and I always said in the house hunting journey, moving isn’t going to make us magically happier so just focus on being happy now.
       • Houses, cars, fancy things… they bring you a quick dopamine hit and then what? You’re still left with the same life all around you
       • I’ve found so much joy in simplicity here. Friday night fires, walking to our friends houses because everyone lives within 5 minutes, staring at the water

       In addition to learning more about Jason’s most recent project, DripDrop, we are also chatting about Jason’s previous chapters including his time working for one of the hottest tech startups, chasing elite status, and doing all the things you think you should do in that world… but ultimately realizing that it wasn’t fully fulfilling him He knew something was missing.

       Fast forward to today and Jason is almost unrecognizable from who he was a decade ago. We talk about this sharp contrast inside of the show.

       In this conversation, he shares openly about…

       • Why he says YES to things that scare the hell out of him
       • The role that journaling, meditation, psilocybin & breathwork have played in his entrepreneurial journey
       • Ways to identify your inner programming & also how to deprogram what doesn’t belong to you or serve you, anymore
       • & so much more

       Jason offers a lot of interesting perspectives in this episode, and I can’t wait to hear your takeaways. You might even want to bookmark this one so that you can listen twice.

       I’ll share 3 of my favourite takeaways on the other side of this conversation.

       One last thing before we jump in,

       I learned in this episode that both DripDop and the Visionary Life Brand started in similar situations-- while we were hiking in the mountains.

       That might just be my next piece of wisdom for anyone who wants to start a business, but has no clue what it could be… Go for a hike.

       A few years into his Personal Training Career, Jonathan Goodman injured himself and faced the reality that he would be off work for 2 whole weeks, unable to get himself to the gym to train his clients, and also unable to collect his paycheque.

       It was at this point in his career when he started to imagine how he could package up his extensive knowledge and turn it into an info-based product.

       And it should be noted that this was almost a decade ago, when online courses and certifications were certainly NOT the norm.

       What came next was a business beyond his wildest imagination.

       In today’s episode, Jonathan shares candidly what it took to build The Personal Trainer Development Center, which has now certified over 35,000 trainers around the globe.

       Sure, from the outside, it may look like Jonathan has always had a carefully calculated plan to revolutionize the personal training industry, but there was a messy middle when he was simply putting one foot in front of the other, trying to find out how he could solve his community's pain points.

       Jonathan is intelligent beyond belief, calculated in his approach, and visionary in the way he sees the future of his company. This was a wonderful conversation.

       Tune in to hear…
       • Why 137 phone calls was the secret to figuring out his business plan,
       • How he launched his first info product using a beta test group,
       • Why data has driven so much of his companies growth,
       • Where the personal training industry is headed,
       • How artificial intelligence will play a massive role in all of our industries in the next 5 or so years,
       • What his team looks like today,
       • & MORE

       Since my first conversion with Leila back in 2019, a lot has changed for her company, Happy Pops.

       If you’re not familiar with Happy Pops or didn’t catch our first episode, Happy Pops are similar to your favourite childhood popsicles, but way healthier and made without the nasty sugars lurking in traditional Popsicles.

       You might remember watching Leila pitch Happy Pops on Dragon’s Den OR perhaps you’ve even purchased a box from your local grocery store!

       They are a regular in my grocery haul these days, especially because my husband Dave is obsessed!

       We’ll dive into…

       • Her journey as a Young Business Owner
       • How 2020 went for this Food Brand and what some of the ups & downs of the pandemic year were
       • Their influencer marketing strategy and whether it’s an advantageous marketing strategy for Happy Pops or not
       • How Leila stays inspired and motivated as a business owner
       • How they’re landing new channels of distribution across Canada
       • Her continued desire to bring Healthy Happiness & Cultural Tastes to kitchens around the world
       • Why it’s important to celebrate the small wins as a small business
       • AND SO MUCH MORE

       He started his first show almost a decade ago, and in 2014 he launched his current chart topping podcast, The Ultimate Health Podcast.

       To date, the show has collected over 16 million downloads and their roster of guest interviews in the health and wellness space would make any health nut drool.

       In this episode, rather than pick Jesse’s brain about health, we’re pulling the curtains back on how The Ultimate Health Podcast became a global podcast sensation.

       Topics we’ll dive into…

       1. Secrets of his chart topping podcast
       2. The methods he uses for pitching world class guests to come on the show
       3. How they partner and land top quality sponsors & the journey of monetizing the show

       https://www.instagram.com/ultimatehealthpodcast/

       Lessons learned from this show include:

       1. When it comes to launching a podcast, make sure that monetization isn’t the ONLY goal. There’s so much heart and soul that needs to go into a podcast and monetization is more of a byproduct, then an initial consideration. It took UHP many years to get their roster of sponsors, and it’s worth noting that they didn’t rush the process.
       3. Quality content that excites you is the most important factor in producing a Top Ranked Podcast!
       5. If you’re not excited about the product, your followers won’t be either. Make sure you invest your time producing something you love and look forward to nurturing.
       6. If you’re feeling bored, uninspired or like you’ve hit a wall in your life, try to follow your curiosity and notice where you’re spending most of your free time.
       8. If you’re constantly watching YouTube videos about crafting or you read all the literature about Keto Diets - there’s something there for you to explore.

       She’s the host of a Top Health podcast called Better! With Dr. Stephanie, the creator of a very successful online health program for women, and the founder of The Estima Certification Program for health coaches and aspiring coaches - and she is also an author!

       Dr. Stephanie Estima released her very first book called The Betty Body: A GEEKY GODDESS' GUIDE TO INTUITIVE EATING, BALANCED HORMONES, AND TRANSFORMATIVE SEX.

       Have you read it, yet?

       It's literally the BIBLE for epic health that every woman must read. I have learned so much about my hormones, how to eat and train with my menstrual cycle and secrets to reverse-age and feel younger as I get older! I've also learned how to perform better in all areas of my life, including in my business.

       On today’s episode, we are talking about better business, better focus, better confidence, better resilience, better metabolic health as business owners and sooo much more.

       Better is Dr. Stephanie's favourite word so if you’re someone who wants to be better, get ready to take notes!

       And before we cut to the conversation, I want to encourage you to check out Dr. Stephanie’s brand new book, The Betty Body.

       Her researched, but relatable approach to teaching women how to feel incredible their bodies is unlike any health book I’ve ever read before.

       Sounds pretty juicy, eh?

       Our guest of the show is Michael F Schein who has spent the better part of the past 5 years studying all things HYPE.

       Yepp, you heard that right!

       Michael wants you to know that if you are a business owner, entrepreneur, executive, artist, activist, or thinker who is trying to make the world a better place, it is your moral imperative to learn how to harness raw emotion and irrational thinking to your benefit.

       He wants you to understand how people make decisions, why they really get excited, and why they really choose to follow some people over others.

       In order to do so, Michael has followed the Hype Experts to find out the commonalities & to reverse engineer how they do what they do.

       Not only did I love recording this episode for all of you visionaries, but I deeply appreciated Michael’s perspective on all things marketing & brand building.

       Our philosophies are completely in line and I love Michael’s take on standing out in a crowd.

       If you want to learn about Ethical Hype & how to use it to grow your business, this is the episode for you! Enjoy this conversation with Michael F Shine.

       You’ll most certainly want to get a copy of his brand new book The Hype Handbook: 12 Indispensable Success Secrets from the World's Greatest Propagandists, Self-Promoters, Cult Leaders, Mischief Makers, and Boundary Breakers which is now available.

       I have to admit, I didn’t know a lot about Jenn and her work before our conversation, but I am sitting here completely blown away by how brilliant and genuine this woman is. Many of you have been patiently awaiting this episode, and now I know why. Jenn is a true visionary.

       In addition to opening up about her many successes as a business owner of over 15 years, Jenn is also pulling back the curtains to share the challenges and tougher moments that brought her to where she is today.

       • Opening & ultimately selling her brick and mortar Pilates studio,
       • Reaching burnout multiple times,
       • & failing to give her family her best energy…

       This is just SOME of the realness that Jenn and I are sharing in today’s conversation.

       If you don’t know Jenn, she is…

       • A Best-Selling Author of The Simplicity Project
       • Creator of 2 revolutionary women's health online courses -- The Hormone Project and Synced.
       • Creator of 3 sensational video-based movement programs - Rock Solid Booty, Sleeveless Strength, and Fit Fierce and Fluid.
       • Host to Simplicity TV on YouTube

       She’s also a Holistic Expert for Breakfast Television, Global, CHCH, Rogers TV and she writes columns for STRONG Fitness Magazine, iRun magazine, Savvy Mom and contributes to Inside Fitness Magazine, The Toronto Star and Sun.

       3 VISIONARY TAKEAWAYS FROM OUR CONVERSATION:

        

       1. Before we started recording, Jenn and I were talking about “the dips” that business owners so often experience, but don’t always share. You know, those low moments in a day (which occur almost everyday in my workday if I am being honest) when you just feel like “it’s not working”.
       3. Yes, even Jenn has those moments! She talks about a technique she uses, which is simply tapping in & taking a pause. Removing the earbuds, taking some deep breaths, and asking “why isn’t this working”.
       5. This is something I am going to implement immediately, as I find that I tend to experience moments like this at least a few times per week!
       6. Second, I loved her perspective on closing her studio and how she sees it as a completion and not a failure.
       8. I think it’s so important for all of us to adopt this mindset shift when one chapter of our life closes and another opens. It’s not failure, it’s not something to regret, it’s simply a completion that is preparing you for what’s next.
       9. Finally, I appreciate how Jenn is transparent about the challenges that come alongside opening a Brick & Mortar studio.
       11. She said it was the hardest and most rewarding 5 years of her life, while she owned and operated her fitness studio. When she shared how tough it was in terms of finances, managing her team, dealing with landlords… it reminded me that it’s so important to support our brick & mortar shop owners when possible.
       13. They make our communities what they are, add vibrancy to our communities, and they deserve to be celebrated.

       Connor Carrick is an NHL Veteran of 200+ games going into his 8th year professional, currently with the New Jersey Devils. He launched The Curious Competitor Podcast to explore what fuels holistic personal and professional growth for himself, his guests, and his audience.

       Connor is wise beyond his years, and has so much to share when it comes to growth, goals & getting the most out of your life.

       I met Connor at an event back in April of 2020 and he really stood out among the crowd.

       I picked up on his strong work ethic, insatiable pursuit of growth, and hunger to maximize each and every day… chasing his most visionary life everyday.

       Not only does he train full time as a National Hockey League Player, but off the ice he hosts the incredibly popular Curious Competitor Podcast. He’s also a husband, and has a little one on the way (or perhaps here) depending on when you’re listening to this.

       Tune in to hear how Connor is able to perform at peak level, how he stays committed to the craft, what he’s currently geeking out on, and what inspired him to become the first active NHL player to enter the world of podcasting.

Whether you’re baking a new bread recipe, putting together an Ikea Bed Frame or launching a brand new online course – things don’t always work out perfectly.

       And that’s life.

       I think it’s safe to say that we all know that feeling of disappointment when things don't go according to plan. 

       You work so hard on something, put your heart and soul into it, and then it falls flat. 

       It can be disheartening, but it's important to remember that these setbacks are a normal part of life. 

       Every successful person has experienced their share of failures– including Sara Monika, a Wedding Photographer, Educator and Host of The Shine & Thrive Podcast.

       The key is to learn from these experiences and use them to make you stronger and more resilient. This is something that Sara and I discuss at length inside of this podcast episode.

       So if you want to hear from a Business Owner who has BEEN THROUGH IT ALL, you’re going to love this convo with my friend Sara Monika.

       This week we have a recharged episode for you because we’re in the process of recording season 7

       So for this week, we have recharged an episode from Season 5.

       In this episode I sit down with Marc LaFleur who is the co-founder of TruLocal, a subscription service that delivers high quality frozen meats to your doorstep.

       I decided to recharge this episode because just a few weeks ago, truLOCAL was acquired by a company called EMERGE for over 16 million dollars. What a milestone!

       Here’s a comment from Newswire, made by the Founder and CEO of EMERGE.

       "In truLOCAL, we have acquired a profitable market leader in the lucrative food tech space that happens to be one of the fastest growing companies in Canada," (Source)

       Rest assured, the founding team as well as Marc seem to be staying in place so not much will shift from an outsider's perspective.

       Dave and I have a truLOCAL box shipped to our home each 6 weeks, for the past 3 years, and we’ve been blown away by the quality and customer service since day one.

       Congrats Marc and congrats truLOCAL team, you deserve all the success.

       Let’s get into my chat, recorded back in April of 2020, with Marc LaFleur.

       Order your first truLOCAL box by clicking this link >>

       Coffee is one of my greatest daily pleasures. Tell me I am not alone…

       Whether it’s catching up with a friend over coffee, sipping on an espresso pre-workout to boost my energy, or cracking a cold brew as I get into flow state when there’s serious creative work to be done… a cup of GOOD java is a staple in my life, and likely most of yours.

       That’s why I am so excited to share today’s conversation with Mitchell Stern (Co Founder & VP of Marketing and Sales) for Station Cold Brew Coffee.

       Station was born to broaden the possibilities of your daily coffee ritual without having to compromise your health. Their Vanilla Cold Brew is seriously next level as a mid-morning pick me up. Trust me.

She's a go-getter and didn't want to sacrifice her driven spirit.

       But something had to give.

       As if overnight, she had to learn to balance her career, her fitness, the nutrition of herself and her family, and she needed to learn a whole new method of time management and goal setting. And things have only gotten busier since her kids have grown.

       Through the years, Tara has found comfort in the fact that you CAN be a working mom who is dedicated to your career and devoted to your family, while still living a healthy, and inspired life.

       And while perfect isn’t possible, Tara is an example to so many women and entrepreneurs who are ALSO wearing many hats in their life.

       NoIssue was founded to provide businesses like yours with access to custom-branded packaging, which means that you can finally create beautiful stickers, stamps, tissue paper, mailer envelopes, tape rolls, etc. -- all with your unique brand designed right onto it.

       I designed and printed some Visionary Life stickers a few months back, and I’ve received so many compliments on them when I add them to a welcome package or when I stick one on the back of a basic envelope!

       There’s a reason why start up & small businesses everywhere are loving NoIssue

       Their mission is to help your brand to stand out!

       It’s these types of added touches that make your brand talkable, and because word of mouth is everything these days, as it drives over 70% of consumer purchases, it’s such an important strategy to focus on.

       Raie your hand if you’ve been down a YouTube rabbit role in the past week, or month… or day?

       You know, that vortex of when you open up a YouTube video to learn how to remove a tick from your dog or to see what nancy eats in a day-- and then all of the sudden you’re watching celebrity mansion tours or how to make DIY tie dye sweaters.

       Ya… We’ve all been there. And i would be remiss if i didn’t tell you how much I LOVE youtube. It’s got so much great content to binge on and I’m always learning or being entertained by youtubers when I open the platform.

       That’s why I’m so thrilled to bring you this episode with Jennifer Zhang.

       She's a young 20-something year old who started a DIY YouTube channel when she was 15 and grew it big enough that she was able to convince her parents to let her create content full time rather than pursue  a quote unquote “real job”.

       With more than 2.5 million subscribers, a recently launched merch line that’s flying off the shelves, and now with her debut into the music industry-- Jen is a true visionary of her digital era.

       One glimpse at her channel and you’ll know why she’s reaching the masses. She’s creative, crafty and totally hilarious.

       Today, you’re going to hear from Jen on how she took something she simply loved doing when she was little and has turned it into a full time job.  Proof that whatever you want to create IS possible in this lifetime.

       Let’s jump in to this episode with Jennifer, from JENerationDIY

        

       In this episode, we chat about...

        

       • How long it took to grow to 100 subscribers & 1 million subscribers!

       • Jens TOP YouTube Secrets

       • The videos that kicked off her channel & helped her grow to where she is today

       • Why authenticity and being REAL is key

       • Self teaching vs. formal education-- which is better if you want to become a YouTuber?

       • What her team looks like today (she's got help!)

       Have you guys been down the YouTube rabbit hole lately and stumbled upon one of those 73 questions videos?

       No? Just me?

       Okay well I loved watching them. This type of “get to know you” is something I often want to do in real life when I meet people so I can accelerate my friendship with them, but that might come across super weird.

       I don’t know that everyone is down with my creepy level of curiosity haha.

       This week on the show, I’m sitting on the other side of the mic and my friend Stephanie Long who is also a business coach is putting me in the hot seat and I'll be answering each question, so that you can all get to know me a bit better.

       It does feel strange to release an episode like this (the little voice in my head keeps saying “nobody cares” but then I remind myself that if I love watching other peoples, then someone will enjoy listening to mine).

       Perhaps you’ll realize we have lots in common, and if so - please reach out and let me know which of the 73 questions we had similar responses to. I’d love to hear from you over on Instagram @kelseyreidl

       Big love going to Steph for agreeing to this crazy idea of mine. If you go check out her podcast “Next Level Nutrition Biz” you’ll be able to find her episode of 73 questions at some point in the future, as well.

       Let the questioning begin!

       After one look at their website or Instagram, you’ll understand how seriously they take their work. The videos and storytelling that they do for their clients are top quality and I am so excited to sit down with Fiorella and pull the curtains back to learn how they started their business and how it’s evolved over the years.

       After many years of running a photography studio (before video marketing became popular) Fiorella and her husband Frank honoured their passion for film and storytelling, which led them to stop pursuing photography clients and focus all their efforts back to video production.

       Today their energy is focused around  leveraging the power of video, something we ALL need to be paying more attention to as business owners.

        

       IN THIS EPISODE, FIORELLA AND I CHAT ABOUT…

       • the early days of starting their photography studio and how scary it was to commit to their first commercial lease in a shopping mall

       • how they were able to generate line ups of people who waited hours for photo sessions with them

       At this event, I met 2 incredible individuals named Tanis and Mara who are the founders of an eco-friendly, package-free refillery in midtown Toronto called The Green Jar.

       More than just a shop though, Tanis and Mara are educators & community members who are on a mission to ensure that zero waste is accessible and less intimidating.

       Tannis and Mara spent their formative years on a 50 acre horse farm in the 1970’s and would spend their summers with their grandmother in the Swiss Alps, where low waste, package-free shopping was the norm.

       Tannis and Mara have memories of daily trips into town with their Grandmother to visit the baker, butcher and fromager, allowing one to catch-up with the proprietors and neighbours about the daily events.

       The sisters wanted to recreate a sense of community and similar feel in their space, but awaited the right time to open their own shop.

       As young adults, Tannis and Mara were frustrated with the amount of plastic waste they saw in their city. Their efforts to maintain their sustainable lifestyle by buying package-free products in bulk had them travelling all over the city, requiring lots of planning. There had to be a better way!

       The Green Jar was created in order to support a circular economy by assisting their community in reducing (and one day eliminating) household waste and single-use plastics, as well as embracing an eco-friendly lifestyle. This is an inspiring and informative conversion.

       We talk about their experience opening a shop just a mere few months before COVID, how they pivoted with the persistence of the global pandemic, some of the most valuable investments they made while planning out their store & who they hired, top items to switch to eco friendly, what sparked the idea to open the shop, how they built a community of customers, the most important things to have in place if you want to open a retail space, and more!

       This was their first podcast so I hope to do them justice with this episode.

       Let's talk about the foundation of your marketing strategy...

       1. Your visionary dream clients
       2. Unique Brilliance
       3. The “method”
       4. Make it friction-less

       In this episode, we're discussing the 4 key pillars to put in place so that you can create a rockstar Marketing Strategy!

       First we will talk about your visionary dream clients…  we dive into:

       • Good marketing speaks to someone, not everyone - it’s OK to be polarizing and specific

       • Mastering your marketing means knowing your VDC better than they know themselves

       • Define them: geographic location, what they struggle with, what their “dream come true outcome” is

       How many dream clients are you working with?

       Next we will talk about identifying your Unique Brilliance…

       • When you line up against 3 of your competitors, what sets you apart? Why should people choose YOU?

       • These need to be qualities that your VDC will value

       • Ex: price, fun, accessibility, product benefits, location, referral only, we invest back in your business, results first

       Did you create something this month that expresses your businesses Unique Brilliance? YES or NO.

       Then, we'll chat about The Method…

       • Why you must "Show" instead of "Tell".

       • What is the process and what is the name (3 to 7 major steps)

       • Ex: Discovery Call, Social Media Audit, Social Strategy Presentation 1, Revision 1, Implementation, Monthly Review.

       How many people learned about or interacted with your "method"?

       Finally, we will cover Making it “friction-less” for your VDC's to buy from you!

       • What are you claiming to be delivering on?

       • Does your VDC really care about this claim?

       • How can they try you on for size before buying?

       How many people did you offer your services to, in a "friction-less" way?

       That's it!

       Healthy Crunch is on a mission to innovate everyday foods by making them healthier and better tasting & today I get to sit down face to face with their founder aka (Chief Crunching Officer) Julie Bednarski.

       Julie Bednarski is a dynamic and energetic entrepreneur with over a decade of experience in the food and nutrition industry. Her entrepreneurial spirit was fostered at a young age, and when she realized there were few healthy options to fuel her love for snacking, she set out to solve the problem. In 2014 she used her expertise as a chef and Registered Dietician to create Healthy Crunch.

       Healthy Crunch is a staple item in our kitchen & it should be a staple in yours, too. Here's how I am currently loving their products...

       • I spread their chia jam on toast with tahini or peanut butter,

       • I snack on their SchoolApproved granola bars - contain 1 billion GanedenBC30 probiotics per bar. This is also the first granola bar in Canada to have only 2 grams of sugar per bar,

       • I satisfy my sweet tooth with their Chocolaty Seed Butter Spreads...

       & the best part… their products are better-for-you, with less sugar, more fibre, they’re better tasting, many are Keto Certified, vegan, paleo, and allergen-free. Visionary approved!

       What began with recipe development in Bednarski’s kitchen, has now emerged as a top competitor in the market.
