On BizBlend, host Sana sits down with Shad Tiddler to break down what “intentional growth” really looks like when you are building revenue without chaos. This episode is for founders, sales leaders, and operators who feel busy but not aligned. You will learn how to move from reactive selling to a clear mission, smarter systems, and steady execution that actually scales. About the Guest: Shad Tiddler is a member of the Lushin sales team (since 2014), working across global markets to help build scalable sales systems. He is also an Ironman triathlete. Key Takeaways: Define the mission first, then build goals, people, tools, and structure behind it Unintentional growth looks like scattered focus and teams pulling in different directions Activity is not productivity; connect daily actions to company goals and personal goals Great sellers can outgrow weak systems and leave, so systems and talent must work together Slow down to fix the fundamentals so you can move faster later, like Ironman training Use “productive pressure” with baseline and stretch goals, not constant quota fear How to Connect With the Guest: Visit https://www.lushin.com, click “Talk to a coach”, and select Shad Tiddler.

Even the strongest strategy can stall when the human system underneath it is misaligned. In this BizBlend episode, host Yusuf speaks with Sriram Mangudi about why execution breaks down when leaders over-invest in planning but underinvest in leadership readiness. This conversation is for founders, executives, operators, and investors who feel their plan is solid but progress feels slow, messy, or stuck. You’ll learn how leadership clarity, stakeholder alignment, and operating rhythms can turn strategy into real enterprise value, especially during high-pressure moments like M&A and rapid growth. About the Guest: Sriram Mangudi works at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and human capital risk. He supports investors and leadership teams in aligning talent, culture, and people systems so strategy translates into enterprise value. Key Takeaways: Strategy communication to investors is not the same as internal leadership alignment Leadership gaps show up most clearly during stress, pivots, and transformation In M&A, the first 3–6 months depend heavily on putting the right leaders in place Start with basics: clear org chart, defined ownership, and role accountability Strong governance rhythms and enterprise mindset help teams recover from setbacks If messaging is not landing, change how you communicate and influence expectations How to Connect With the Guest: LinkedIn: Sriram Mangudi Email: smangudi at ConsultMSG.com Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life/BizBlend?

Building a business demands focus and grit, but the hidden cost is the constant pressure to always be “on.” In this BizBlend episode, host Sana speaks with Laura Nicholls about mental health practices that actually hold up in real entrepreneurial life, especially when anxiety spikes and the stakes feel high. This episode is for founders, creators, and leaders who feel reactive, stretched thin, or mentally overloaded and want a simpler way to stay grounded. Laura shares how to start with self-awareness, regulate the nervous system first, communicate with integrity, and use personal storytelling without turning your inner world into a marketing tactic. About the Guest: Laura Nicholls is a writer and strategist with a background as a former therapist. She worked for 14 years in high-level treatment settings with children and teens, and now helps entrepreneurs and thought leaders turn lived experience into meaningful messaging and books. Key Takeaways: Start with self-awareness: notice signs like vigilance, reactivity, and lack of joy before burnout hits. Use bottom-up regulation: calm the nervous system first, then work with your thoughts. Keep it simple: add one or two practices only, so it sticks under pressure. Drop the judgment: treat results and emotions as information, not personal failure. Messaging affects mental health: misalignment creates internal tension and weakens impact. Storytelling needs discernment: share what’s integrated, purposeful, and audience-appropriate.

*This episode includes a thoughtful discussion about mortality, dying, and end-of-life experiences. If you are currently grieving, feeling emotionally raw, or managing anxiety related to death, please listen with care and take breaks as needed. Nothing in this conversation is intended to cause fear, provide medical advice, or replace professional mental health support. If this topic feels overwhelming, consider reaching out to a licensed therapist, a trusted support person, or local support services in your area. Most business shows chase growth. This BizBlend podcast episode with host Sana and guest Seth Clark asks a harder question: what happens when success costs your health, values, relationships, or sense of self? Seth, who calls himself “the death guy,” shares how working closely with people near the end of life reshaped how he sees leadership, clarity, and meaning. This conversation is for founders, executives, and high performers in transition who feel stuck in short-term wins, or quietly questioning if the path they are chasing is truly theirs. You will hear how mortality awareness can clarify real values, expose performative commitments, and help leaders grow through loss instead of hardening. About the Guest : Seth Clark describes himself as “the death guy,” working at the intersection of leadership, loss, and meaning. He has spent years supporting people near the end of life and now focuses on coaching and research around meaning-making and mortality awareness. Key Takeaways: Replace short-term wins with a longer view by regularly asking: “What is this building toward?” Use mortality awareness to clarify your real values, not just the values you like to claim. Audit the “talk vs walk” gap: where do your calendar and decisions contradict your stated ideals? Recognize every transition includes a loss, and plan for it instead of pretending it will not hurt. Legacy-building can be powerful, but get honest about what you are trying to prove or protect. When you accept limits (time, control, certainty), asking for help becomes a leadership strength.

On this episode of the BizBlend podcast, host Sana sits down with product leader and consultant Don Stoddard to unpack what “innovation” really means inside modern SaaS teams. They cut through trend-chasing and get into the real work: vision, customer value, and making smart trade-offs when everything feels urgent. This conversation is for founders, product leaders, and teams feeling pressure from shifting roadmaps, constant launches, and the rush to “add AI.” You will leave with a clearer way to decide what to build, what to pause, and how to keep progress steady without burning out. About the Guest: Don Stoddard is a product management leader and consultant with 20+ years in SaaS. He has led global product teams at Monster.com, SumTotal, and Softscape, and now supports SaaS and AI-driven teams through his firm, Blueprint Product. Key Takeaways: Innovation starts with a clear 12–18 month vision, not a bigger feature list Use vision + metrics as a filter to decide what to build and what to delay Avoid “AI first” thinking; start with goals, then apply AI to specific use cases Treat AI as an advisor for narrow tasks to reduce risk and increase clarity Reduce burnout by building a preparation habit (daily, weekly, monthly check-ins) How to Connect With the Guest: LinkedIn Website: https://www.blueprintproduct.com/  Email: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik Disclaimer: This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

As 2026 begins, BizBlend host Sana sits down with leadership author Ivan Radovic to unpack why trust is harder to earn than ever, even when results look great on paper. Ivan shares how trust breaks quietly through small missed commitments, and why real leadership starts with self-trust before team trust. This episode is for founders, managers, and ambitious professionals who feel stretched thin, overcommitted, or stuck trying to “be everything to everyone.” You will walk away with practical ways to build trust through everyday follow-through, honest communication, and clear boundaries. About the Guest: Ivan Radovic is the president and founder of Novasys, a global consulting firm trusted by Fortune 500 companies and U.S. federal agencies for over 25 years. He is the author of Trust360 and creator of the Trust-Based Leadership Framework. Key Takeaways: Trust starts with keeping small promises to yourself (time, health, boundaries). Build “trust capital” through micro-deposits: follow-ups, clarity, consistency. Say “I don’t know” sooner and ask for help early, not at the deadline. Protect your calendar so your commitments match reality. Use AI as support, not a replacement for your voice and personality. Failures build resilience and reliability, which earns long-term trust. How to Connect With the Guest: Find Ivan Radovic on LinkedIn. His book Trust360 is available on Amazon and through bookstores worldwide. Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life/BizBlend?

As we step into 2026, the BizBlend podcast host Sana sits down with Dr. Jacqueline Campbell to unpack a hard truth many leaders avoid: burnout is not always about doing too much, it’s often about building a life that no longer fits. From trauma to transformation, Jacqueline explains how authenticity, nervous system regulation, and clarity shape sustainable leadership. This episode is for founders, executives, and high performers who feel driven but internally off-track. You’ll learn how to spot misalignment, make better decisions from calm (not fear), and create a workplace culture where emotions are acknowledged without excusing poor behavior. About the Guest: Dr. Jacqueline Campbell is a mental health professional who served in the U.S. Marine Corps before transitioning into psychology and trauma-focused work. She shares how her healing journey reshaped her identity, relationships, and leadership approach. Key Takeaways: Burnout can come from living in survival mode, not just overworking Authenticity creates calm, and calm creates better business decisions Build discipline inside alignment, not inside fear and obligation Separate what you can control (choices, habits) from what you cannot (people, outcomes) Healing is feeling emotions with controlled behavior, not using emotions as an excuse Leaders set culture by modeling regulation, accountability, and emotional honesty How to Connect With the Guest: Website: https://www.drjacquelinecampbell.com/  LinkedIn Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In this episode of BizBlend, host Yusuf sits down with Giorgio Natili to unpack what real leadership looks like in an AI-first world. Giorgio challenges the “AI replaces humans” mindset and explains why the best leaders use AI to help teams do more, not justify cutting people. This conversation is for leaders, builders, and curious professionals who want to scale AI responsibly without sacrificing trust, privacy, or human creativity. You will hear practical signals of burnout, how to build a culture that embraces learning through failure, and why “digital dignity” must be a leadership standard, not a nice-to-have. About the Guest: Giorgio Natili is Head of AI and Platform Engineering, with leadership experience across Mozilla, Amazon, Capital One, and OPEC Systems. He also has a creative background as a professional windsurfer and music experience curator. Key Takeaways: Use AI to help teams do more, not to reduce headcount Create incentives that make AI usage safe to admit and discuss Normalize learning, being wrong, and smart experimentation Watch for burnout via slower delivery and rising technical debt If innovation talk disappears, stagnation (and frustration) is close Lead with privacy and “digital dignity” because most users are unaware of the risks How to Connect With the Guest: Connect with Giorgio on LinkedIn. His website GiorgioNAT.com is planned for later this year. Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life/BizBlend?

In this BizBlend Podcast episode, host Sana sits down with John Michael Thomas, AI strategy consultant, fractional Chief AI Officer, and author of Lead AI with Confidence. They unpack why most AI initiatives fail and why the fix is rarely “better tools” and more often better leadership. This conversation is for CEOs, founders, and non-technical leaders who feel AI overwhelm, are tired of hype cycles, and want a clear path to real business value. You’ll learn how to treat AI like delegation, remove adoption friction, and focus your next 90 days on outcomes that actually matter. About the Guest: John Michael Thomas is an AI strategy consultant and fractional Chief AI Officer. He’s the author of the #1 bestseller Lead AI with Confidence and helps leaders build AI into how teams work, without becoming technical experts. Key Takeaways: Most AI failure comes from treating it like a tech training problem instead of a management problem Start with a real business problem, then confirm AI is the right solution Adoption breaks down when teams lack trust, clarity, and psychological safety Reduce friction: provide approved paid tools, clear guidelines, and permission to experiment Build a “community of practice” to lead pilots before scaling org-wide Use AI yourself first to understand what it can and cannot do How to Connect With the Guest: Website: https://johnmichaelthomas.ai/  LinkedIn: Connect with John Michael Thomas on LinkedIn Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life/BizBlend?

On this BizBlend episode, host Sana sits down with Rob Broadhead (RB Consulting, Develpreneur, Building Better Developers) to help founders make tech support their goals, not steal their attention. They share a simple way to tell “busy” from “productive,” plus practical guardrails that protect focus without relying on willpower. This episode is for founders and operators who feel buried in tools, tabs, and notifications. You will leave with a cleaner daily system, fewer switching costs, and a realistic approach to using AI for leverage without creating new chaos. About the Guest: Rob Broadhead is a veteran software developer, strategist, and educator. Through RB Consulting and Develpreneur, and as host of Building Better Developers, he helps founders avoid shiny-object traps and build technology around real outcomes. Key Takeaways: Run a busy vs. productive check on every tool and task. Simplify first: choose one calendar and reduce context switching. Build guardrails: notification rules, focus blocks, device-free moments. Use a daily 1 to 3 outcomes list to filter decisions. Treat AI like a junior teammate: constraints, small chunks, review.

In this episode of BizBlend, host Sana sits down with Dylan Clayton Bost, founder of SunnyHQ, to unpack what happens when “successful on paper” quietly turns into burnout in real life. They explore how founders can rethink growth, rebuild after misalignment, and design a business that supports the life they actually want. This conversation is for entrepreneurs, business owners, and leaders who feel stuck in hustle mode, crave clarity, and want systems that create calm instead of constant urgency. You will walk away with practical principles to lead with alignment, reduce friction, and keep the human side of business at the center. About the Guest : Dylan Clayton Bost is the founder of SunnyHQ, a human-first WordPress hosting and support company. He shares lessons from running a successful creative agency that later led to burnout, and how he rebuilt with clearer values, calmer leadership, and simpler systems. Key Takeaways : Use an “80/20” gut check: if more than 20% of the work feels like a chore, pay attention early. Write down what you want personally (time, freedom, family) before scaling the business goals. Build culture intentionally before systems “build themselves” as the team grows. Lead with a simple framework: be clear with your word, avoid assumptions, do not take things personally, and do your best. Use automation to support people, not replace them, and keep humans available when problems feel stressful. Calm leadership improves decision-making, customer experience, and team performance under pressure.

On BizBlend Podcast, host Sana sits down with Kathie Feng, founder of Signal Growth, to break down why real growth is engineered, not hoped for. If you are entering a new year asking what actually moved the needle, this episode gives you a clearer way to think about scaling without losing your edge. This is for founders and SMB owners who have momentum but want repeatable systems. Kathie explains how to tighten your ICP, build smarter pricing tiers, expand through segmentation, and use AI as an amplifier, not a replacement, so you can scale revenue and confidence with intention. About the Guest: Kathie Feng is the founder and growth architect at Signal Growth. She has 13+ years leading growth across brands including Corona, Modelo (Constellation Brands), Pave, Discover, Capital One, and Shiseido. Key Takeaways: Do not blame the product first, validate ICP fit before you rebuild anything Use customer segmentation to scale beyond one audience ceiling Build pricing tiers based on willingness to buy, not founder gut feel Treat GTM as a living system, not a launch checklist Use AI to reduce workflow friction, but judge it by training quality and outcomes How to Connect With the Guest: LinkedIn: Kathie Feng Website: https://signalgrowth.ai/  Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life/BizBlend?

Most entrepreneurs unknowingly put their personal future at risk by mixing personal and business credit. In this episode of BizBlend, host Sana speaks with Sue Schuster, a corporate credit and profit acceleration coach, about why separating the two is critical for long-term stability. This episode is for small business owners, freelancers, and founders who want to grow safely. Sue breaks down how corporate credit protects personal assets, strengthens credibility, and opens doors to smarter funding options before you actually need them. About the Guest: Sue Schuster is a business coach focused on corporate credit, funding strategies, and profit acceleration. She draws on her experience building and selling her own business to help entrepreneurs scale with confidence. Key Takeaways: Corporate credit is separate from personal credit and shields your personal assets Personal credit use for business can limit home and car buying power Strong business credit increases trust with banks and investors Credit is a growth tool when managed intentionally Building credit early prepares you for future opportunities How to Connect With the Guest: Facebook: Sue Schuster at Profit Turing Email: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avik Disclaimer: This video is for educational and informational purposes only.

Holiday season means more clicks, more links, and more chances for scams to slip in. In this BizBlend episode, Sana sits down with cybersecurity expert Robert Siciliano to break down why identity theft prevention is not just personal, it is one of the fastest ways to upgrade company security too. This one is for business owners, employees, and anyone who feels “too busy to think twice.” You will learn how to build security habits that stick, reduce shame around mistakes, and create simple verification systems that protect both families and workplaces. About the Guest: Robert Siciliano is a private investigator, Certified Speaking Professional, and CEO of Protect Now. He teaches “security appreciation” and created the concept of the strategic human firewall. Key Takeaways: Treat security like a life skill: it starts with personal habits, not IT policies The biggest risks are shifting responsibility and assuming “it won’t happen to me” Replace checkbox training with heart-based “security appreciation” Use a password manager plus two-factor authentication across critical accounts AI voice cloning makes verification codes and second-channel checks essential Report fast if something goes wrong: shame and fear help scammers win How to Connect With the Guest: https://protectnowllc.com/  Search: Robert Siciliano on social platforms LinkedIn Instagram Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life/ BizBlend?

Most companies are not “doing AI”. They are reacting to headlines, chasing tools, and burning teams. This episode shows why AI fails when the human system around it is chaotic. If you are a C-suite leader, a mid-level manager, or an employee navigating fear, burnout, and constant change, this conversation will help you move from reactive mode to strategic momentum, with clarity, trust, and better decisions. About the Guest : Rupali Kumbani is a transformation leader who helps organizations drive measurable outcomes through strategy, innovation, and execution. She advises leaders on responsible, strategic AI adoption, including governance, operating models, and change. Key Takeaways: Define the problem first, then decide where AI fits (AI is part of strategy, not the strategy). Fix broken processes before adding AI, or you will amplify the problems. Build trust early by listening to employee fears and creating psychological safety. Use cultural intelligence so adoption works across different teams and backgrounds. Create governance that evaluates risk, ROI, and reuse of existing tools before buying new ones. Train by role and department so people learn what actually helps their day-to-day work.

In this episode of BizBlend, host Sana gets into the real story behind stress with Dana Pemberton and Colleen Robinson, co-founders of The Digital Dojo. They flip the script. Stress isn’t the villain. It’s a signal. And when you learn to read it through the lens of martial arts plus holistic wellness, it becomes a strategic advantage for resilience, grounded leadership, and sharper decisions. Dana and Colleen connect the dots between trauma-informed leadership, body-based awareness, and high-performance presence. From posture-driven mindset resets to emotional regulation that actually holds up under pressure, this conversation reframes leadership as a practice. Not a persona. The takeaway is simple: you don’t eliminate stress. You train with it. And that changes everything. About the Guests: Dana Pemberton and Colleen Robinson are the duo behind The Digital Dojo and creators of Black Belt Mind, NAP, and Your Integral Medicine. With backgrounds spanning martial arts, corporate coaching, and emotional wellness, they help individuals and organizations convert stress from a drain into a tool for transformation in business and in life. Key Takeaways: Stress isn’t inherently negative. It’s awareness of resistance, value comes from your response. Unprocessed trauma can quietly drive fear-based leadership decisions while pretending to be “logic.” Black Belt Mind reframes posture (Kamae) as emotional, mental, and strategic readiness, not stoicism. Slowing down is a leadership requirement, not a luxury, if you want sustainability. “Doubt your doubt” is a usable mindset tool for pushing through resistance and building confidence.

In this BizBlend Podcast episode host Sana breaks down resilience as a real business strategy, not a motivational quote. Mark Burnett shares how he rebuilt momentum while managing serious health challenges, and why resilience becomes an operating system when your calendar, cash flow, and nervous system are all under load. Mark unpacks how he validated a product by testing it on himself, built credibility through real world results, and scaled using proof, measurement, and customer feedback. He also shares hard-earned lessons from building a programming business, including pricing psychology, positioning, and why “expert” marketing works when you can deliver. The conversation closes with a sharp take on systems, accountability, and what entrepreneurs can do when institutions fail people. About the Guest: Mark Burnett is an entrepreneur and former database programmer who built businesses in software and wellness innovation. He’s the creator behind MyBrainRestore.com, where he shares his journey, research process, and a product built for people who struggle with pills. Key Takeaways: Resilience in entrepreneurship is infrastructure, not inspiration. Build decision rules and routines that keep the business moving on low capacity days. Validate before you launch. Mark spent months researching, testing, and refining before offering anything to customers. Proof beats hype. Credibility comes from measurable outcomes, consistent tracking, and real customer conversations. Positioning matters. A simple “expert” claim can outperform a long explanation if your delivery is strong. Pricing is perception. Ask “What’s your budget?” to avoid undercharging and to align scope with value. Build traction first, profit second. Early projects can be priced to earn trust, logos, and referrals. Talent is everywhere. Skills can outperform credentials when you recruit for capability and coach for professionalism. Expect market cycles. Mark compares tech bubbles and today’s AI gold rush. Big money does not equal a working product. Systems failures create business gaps. Entrepreneurs can build solutions, nonprofits, or services that restore stability. Be careful with health claims. Share personal experience, encourage due diligence, and stay grounded in responsible messaging.
