Empowering Women in Business Ownership Episode 42 In this episode, we sit down with Juliet Peters to explore the crucial shifts happening for women in business today and the lessons she has learned along the way. Juliet shares how her early experiences in an all-girls Catholic school helped build a strong foundation of self-confidence and leadership skills. She highlights why nurturing young women in empowering environments is vital for their long-term success. We dive into Juliet’s journey through traditionally male-dominated fields like journalism and law, and how those experiences shaped her understanding of systemic barriers women continue to face. Juliet emphasizes that women are not the minority in the workforce or economy and discusses how the upcoming wealth transfer toward women will reshape communities and business landscapes. We also cover the importance of building supportive networks among women business owners. Juliet explains how mastermind groups, communities, and peer mentoring can be powerful tools for growth, particularly because women thrive in collaborative environments. She stresses that women entrepreneurs need to be mindful of financial literacy from the start and should prioritize systems that support sustainable business operations. Juliet challenges traditional career paths and encourages women to think about entrepreneurship earlier in their careers, rather than as a reactive step after dissatisfaction in traditional work environments. She discusses the evolving definition of business success, recognizing that both lifestyle businesses and scalable enterprises are valid choices depending on personal goals. The conversation turns to systemic issues like lack of access to capital and the importance of women-focused venture funds and banks. Juliet makes the case for focusing on economic empowerment rather than just fighting outdated systems, encouraging women to create new spaces and opportunities. Toward the end of the episode, Juliet shares her personal mission to bridge the gap between experienced women and those just starting out through her upcoming podcast and coaching work. She believes that when women support each other, everyone benefits, and communities thrive. Juliet leaves us with a powerful reminder that we all have a ripple effect, even when we do not see it. Her advice to women entrepreneurs is clear: find your passion, embrace learning through failure, build supportive networks, and step confidently into leadership roles to help shape a stronger, more inclusive future.

Leila Entezam on emotional awareness self regulation and leadership performance Episode 41 In this episode, we’re diving deep into emotional intelligence, leadership, and the science of decision-making with Leila Entezam. Leila brings a compelling lens to the conversation, blending neuroscience, psychology, and real-world leadership insights to break down why the way we feel drives the way we lead. We begin with Leila’s personal journey—how she stuck with a path that was once seen as unmeasurable and intangible. For years, she advocated for the role of emotions and inner wellbeing in leadership long before it became widely accepted. She shares what it was like being told “this doesn’t belong in business” and how she kept going by trusting her instincts and staying rooted in the neuroscience that supported her perspective. From there, we unpack how leaders often believe they can compartmentalize personal and professional lives. Leila challenges that assumption by explaining that we all operate from one brain with one internal database. Everything from our childhood experiences to daily stressors affects the way we show up in the workplace. She explains how emotional responses often occur before we’re even conscious of them, making it critical to understand what’s happening beneath the surface. We also talk about her practical framework called SETUP. It’s a tool leaders can use to quickly assess their somatic signals, emotions, thoughts, broader life context, and physiological state—especially in high-stress moments. Leila walks through how using SETUP helps you hit pause, gain clarity, and act more intentionally. We discuss why high performers often resist addressing their early life experiences, and how ignoring those roots limits growth. Leila shares how she approaches this resistance, the science that supports it, and the transformation leaders experience when they finally allow themselves to explore what’s under the surface. As the conversation continues, we explore how emotional intelligence impacts everything from daily decisions to broader team dynamics. Leila explains how seemingly small shifts in language or presence can ripple out to major changes in team engagement and organizational culture. She also discusses how the shift to remote work has increased the need for intentional connection, and how we can leverage things like music, casual dialogue, or shared meals to maintain human connection virtually. We close by exploring the evolving definition of leadership success. Leila emphasizes that new metrics are emerging—ones that measure depth of connection, clarity of self, and emotional health as core indicators of strong leadership.

When Wealth Meets True Satisfaction Episode 40 In this episode, we talk with Mike Brown about the invisible side of building, selling, and sustaining businesses. Mike shares his personal path from military service to entrepreneurship, including the financial and emotional highs of selling a company—and the sobering lows of nearly losing everything after buying a distressed business. What emerges is a deeply honest conversation about what it really takes to build lasting wealth, not just in your bank account, but in your mindset and your habits. We begin with Mike’s background in the military and how that experience shaped his views on stress, leadership, and pressure. He explains how that intensity translated into success in oil and gas during a booming cycle, only for him to later realize that his relationship with money hadn’t evolved as quickly as his income. Mike shares how, despite doing everything “right” and achieving financial success, he eventually found himself in a financial and emotional crisis, losing $100,000 a month in a business turnaround attempt gone wrong. The turning point came when Mike recognized he hadn’t done the internal work to become the kind of person who could sustain wealth. We discuss how patterns of stress, risk addiction, and subconscious self-sabotage often show up in entrepreneurs, especially those who have never taken a moment to question where their ambition comes from. Mike’s insight is that making money is one challenge, but keeping it and growing it without burning yourself out requires a totally different skill set—and identity. Mike also explores the concept of transitioning from an “accumulator” mindset to a “defender” mindset when it comes to wealth. He emphasizes the need to reprogram how we think about money, value, and self-worth. He shares the importance of defining what true wealth means—freedom of time, mind, health, and relationships—and how those freedoms often have nothing to do with a number in your bank account. Later in the conversation, we zoom out to look at where the future of work is going. Mike shares his thoughts on AI, the moral challenges around abundance, and why the personal brand will become even more valuable as technology commoditizes more forms of labor. For those wondering how to future-proof themselves, Mike provides a strong argument that human connection and aligned, purpose-driven work will be the differentiators that continue to matter most. Whether you’re thinking about selling your business, navigating a windfall, or just trying to figure out what to do next in your career, this conversation is a clear-eyed look at how to build wealth that actually supports the life you want.

Kaitlyn Laney is on a mission to redefine Financial Advisory through a Holistic, very Client Centered Planner. Episode 39 Kaitlyn Laney joins us for a candid and insightful conversation on what it really takes to transition from a corporate career to building a thriving, values-driven business. With a multimillion-dollar financial practice under her belt today, Kaitlyn shares the personal and professional challenges that shaped her journey—and the strategic mindset shifts that helped her scale with intention. We start with how she was pushed into entrepreneurship after getting laid off from a corporate job she thought was stable. She talks about navigating the uncertainty of launching a business without a safety net, the emotional rollercoaster that came with it, and the real-world decisions she had to make—like potentially selling her home to keep the business going. Kaitlyn’s story is grounded in reality and filled with practical decisions that many entrepreneurs can relate to. The conversation moves into how she used those early struggles as fuel to build a business that serves people in ways traditional financial services often miss. She explains how she developed a more client-centered, responsive model that enables her to be more helpful and more human. Whether it's breaking down complex financial decisions, helping clients add revenue streams, or simply being the person who connects the dots between a CPA and a client, Kaitlyn’s approach is all about adding clarity and confidence to money decisions. She also dives into how personal insecurities, like being dyslexic, influenced how she worked harder and smarter to become not just a financial advisor, but a true strategic partner for business owners. Kaitlyn explains how those perceived weaknesses became her strengths, allowing her to solve problems others often overlook. We get into why most business owners need to behave more like CFOs, especially when moving from one level of success to the next. She outlines key tactical advice like understanding your profit margins, setting up business banking relationships with local credit unions, and why having a line of credit in place before you need it is non-negotiable. Kaitlyn also talks about hiring—how her first executive assistant transformed her operations and why creating systems isn’t just about efficiency but also about making your business salable and scalable. She emphasizes the importance of letting go of tasks you shouldn’t be doing, creating space for higher-level thinking and strategy. For those not yet leveraging AI tools in their business, Kaitlyn gives a powerful example of helping a client generate $250,000 in new recurring revenue using Claude.ai to brainstorm a new product offering. The takeaway is clear—using the tools available to you today can unlock opportunities faster than ever before. Whether you're in year one of your business or ten years in and looking to evolve, this episode offers clarity, strategy, and encouragement from someone who’s built

Life After Flatline: Andreas Pettersson’s Approach to Transformative Leadership Episode 38 In this episode, we talk with Andreas Pettersson about how his personal challenges radically reshaped his approach to leadership, resilience, and curiosity. He shares the story of a near-death experience that forced him to rethink everything—from how he shows up as a leader to how he lives each day. This isn’t just a story about survival; it’s about clarity, reinvention, and how intense personal events can become the foundation for meaningful leadership. Andreas opens up about what happened the day his heart flatlined in the ER, how years of ignoring physical warning signs led to the event, and why he now lives with a calm sense of gratitude most people never find. He explains how that moment redefined his relationship with fear and urgency, and how it taught him to listen to his body in a way he never had before. We also dive into what it was like to become a CEO and, on the very same day, receive his son’s autism diagnosis. Andreas breaks down how he and his wife navigated two life-altering changes at once, the decision to divide and conquer, and the mental toll of having a child with severe needs while also stepping into the pressure of executive leadership. He reflects on the guilt, the denial, the trials, and eventually the breakthroughs that came from being immersed in both roles. These moments didn’t just change his outlook—they completely reshaped how he leads, listens, and helps others grow. This conversation also explores the idea of insecure overachievers, the hidden potential in overlooked employees, and how Andreas has developed a framework for identifying and mentoring rising leaders. He shares the probing questions he uses to understand someone’s mindset and potential, and why curiosity, integrity, and self-awareness are the top traits he looks for. We talk about building emotional resilience, learning how to stay grounded in chaos, and the difference between leaders who give answers and those who ask the right questions. Andreas also shares his vision for a mentorship matchmaking community, the tools he recommends for better self-awareness, and how personality assessments can strengthen relationships—both professionally and personally. He offers clear examples of how leaders can use curiosity and deep questioning to unlock people’s potential and build stronger organizations from the inside out. This episode is a raw, thoughtful look at leadership through the lens of life’s hardest moments, and how turning inward can lead to real, lasting growth.
