In this hot seat episode, David Shands coaches Eleni, founder of That Mom Club, through the challenges of building a paid community. Eleni shares her story of being a young mom, losing 70 pounds, and wanting to create a supportive space for mothers. But as the conversation unfolds, David points out that the biggest issue isn’t her effort — it’s her lack of clarity about who her ideal client is and what problem she’s solving for them.He roleplays as a struggling mom to show Eleni how vague her answers sound when asked, “Why should I join your community?” and pushes her to define real outcomes instead of buzzwords like “self-care” or “back to the basics.” Together, they build a sharper message using the “XYZ statement” (I help X do Y by Z) and even create a framework (Systems, Community, Accountability, Money) that her brand could be structured around.A powerful moment comes when David explains that her personal journey — losing weight, gaining some back, and trying again — could actually become the story that attracts and inspires moms if she documents it publicly. The key lesson of the episode: you can’t grow a thriving business or community until you deeply understand your customer and the problem you solve for them.Click Here To Apply to the Hot Seat: https://forms.gle/Ba4tqWzmepKy3gMT7Subscribe to the Hot Seat on YouTube:   / @hotseatsp  On Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...On Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2mdfI5z...Shira Simmons on IG:   / butshefinetho  ** Grab the Podcast EBOOK👇🏾 **http://www.podcastebook.comGO SUBSCRIBE to The Brain Picker Podcast on All Streaming Platforms!!David on IG :   / dshands   NOTE: I am a Brand Ambassador and affiliate for certain businesses, products and services that I believe in.

In this conversation with Amber G. Johnson discuss her business that educates people on how to use firearms appropriately. Though she has her business incorporated she hasn't promoted her business at her fullest potential. There has been money made mainly through word-of-mouth promotion. This can be a great way to promote, but you are then held bound to people talking up your business.

Frank shared his story of starting an academic and sports training program just before COVID-19 hit, which unfortunately had to be shelved due to the pandemic. During the lockdown, he pivoted to creating a jerk chicken recipe, which gained some traction locally. However, as the world reopened, he found himself needing to return to work due to financial constraints, despite the initial success of his food venture.Throughout our conversation, it became clear that Frank has a lot of passion and drive, but perhaps lacks a clear direction and consistent focus. We debated the merits of putting all your eggs in one basket versus having multiple backup plans. Frank believes in diversifying interests to mitigate failure, while I argued that going all-in on a single pursuit can develop a crucial ability to fully commit and excel.👉🏾 Join the Morning Meetup - http://www.themorningmeetup.com⁣Apply to be on the HOT SEAT: https://hotseatsp.com/applySubscribe to the Hot Seat on YouTube: / @hotseatsp On Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...On Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2mdfI5z...** Grab the Podcast EBOOK👇🏾 **http://www.podcastebook.comFrank on IG: https://www.instagram.com/dirtroadjerk/NOTE: I am a Brand Ambassador and affiliate for certain businesses, products and services that I believe in.

On this episode of The Hot Seat, I had an eye opening conversation will Chelz Bowen who is the owner and operator of "Top It Off Fun" Funnel Cakes Food truck. She's leaving money on the table. This talk consisted of Chelz realizing that her business would benefit from having very forward approach to her potential customers instead of waiting for them to come to her. Even though the quality is top notch, she can also make tweaks such as figuring out ways to speed up her ordering process. She is currently making these adjustments and we hope to see an increase in business the near future. 👉🏾 Join the Morning Meetup - http://www.themorningmeetup.com⁣Apply to be on the HOT SEAT: https://hotseatsp.com/applySubscribe to the Hot Seat on YouTube:/ @hotseatspOn Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...On Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2mdfI5z...** Grab the Podcast EBOOK👇🏾 **http://www.podcastebook.comChelz Bowen On IG: https://www.instagram.com/topitofffun/NOTE: I am a Brand Ambassador and affiliate for certain businesses, products and services that I believe in.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Vonzail, a luxury event designer and the founder of "I'm the Voice of Suicide." We delved into his journey, both in his professional life and his deeply personal mission to bring awareness to suicide prevention.Luxury Event Design BusinessVonzail shared his background in luxury event design, a passion he inherited from his grandmother. He started his own company, Lvo Creative, in 2019 after working for BET and Radio One. Despite his talent and passion for design, Vonzail admitted that his business hasn't been financially successful, averaging around $10,000 to $15,000 annually. He revealed his struggle with charging clients appropriately, which has hindered his business growth.I'm the Voice of SuicideVonzail's non-profit initiative, "I'm the Voice of Suicide," is a deeply personal project born from his own experiences with suicide attempts. He has attempted suicide four times, each under harrowing circumstances, and has been dealing with the aftermath and ongoing therapy. Despite having the idea for over a decade, he only recently registered the trademark and is in the early stages of establishing it as a 501(c)(3) non-profit.👉🏾 Join the Morning Meetup - http://www.themorningmeetup.com⁣Apply to be on the HOT SEAT: https://hotseatsp.com/applySubscribe to the Hot Seat on YouTube: / @hotseatsp On Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...On Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/2mdfI5z...** Grab the Podcast EBOOK👇🏾 **http://www.podcastebook.comVonzail's IG: https://www.instagram.com/lvo_creative/NOTE: I am a Brand Ambassador and affiliate for certain businesses, products and services that I believe in.
