Have you ever hit a milestone you worked your entire life for only to feel
absolutely nothing? We often spend so much of our time and attention
focused on our future selves that we forget how to live in the present. But
it’s not your fault! We were handed this invisible checklist when we were
all kids. We’re supposed to get a good education and a good job, buy that
house, get married, have those kids, and live that dream life.
Life doesn’t wait for you to have it all figured out. When unexpected
challenges hit, your business needs to be ready to withstand the storm. In
this fan favorite episode, Abagail shares how to build a sustainable
business that can function without you at the center, why learning to ask
for help is key, and what shifts you need to make so your work supports
your life—not the other way around.
Not sure where you’re headed in business or life? In this episode, we’re
breaking down how your past experiences can guide your future direction.
I’ll introduce you to the PACE method—a simple framework to help you
understand your current position, define your aspirations, experiment with
creativity, and take messy action toward your goals. Tune in to learn how
to leverage your journey so far into clear, actionable steps for where you
want to go next.
Whatever scares you most will change your life the most! Today, I’m joined
by Sabrina Shafer to talk about fear, a topic that every entrepreneur
wrestles with. The kind that holds you back from the opportunities you know
you were meant for. Sabrina has always believed that it’s okay to change
lanes in your career, and when she got fed up with fear dictating what she
did and didn’t do, her keynote, Fear Forward, was born.
What if the fastest way to grow your business wasn’t figuring it out alone?
What if you leaned into collaboration? Today on the Strategy Hour Podcast,
I’m joined by Eleanor Beaton, Founder of Safi Media and Host of The
Woman-Owned Podcast. She’s trained tens of thousands of entrepreneurs,
advised at Yale, and built a business that’s changing the way women
approach growth.
In this conversation, we explore feminism, the pressure to be a provider,
and why hyper-independence isn’t the solution many of us think it is. Then,
in the second half, we’re going to break down her round table growth
strategy, a simple but powerful approach that could double your leads
organically. I hope you’re ready, because we’re about to go deep!
At some point, you are going to have a fork in the road and choices to make
that may leave you wondering what is right for you. I have a lot on my
plate at the moment, and it’s bringing up a lot of questions about where my
business is going, the kind of products I want to sell, how I want to show
up online, and what I want my life to look like. Obviously, I could just
keep going as I have been, but I have had this inkling inside of me that
something is supposed to change.
When you listen to your innermost thoughts, your best work will come out.
In today’s episode, I want to give you a behind-the-scenes look at what
it’s like to write a book proposal and get your book purchased in the
traditional publishing world. I want to share a preview of where I am in
the process, what is required, and some “words of warning” for things that
you may encounter along the way; things I didn’t anticipate and would have
appreciated a heads up on!
So many of us think money is the ultimate benchmark for success, but what
if we’ve been chasing the wrong thing all along? In today’s episode with
Ryann Gillen, we’re pulling back the curtain on the subconscious beliefs
that quietly shape the way we do business and often hold us back. Ryann is
a transformational leader and mentor with decades of experience building
multimillion-dollar sales teams. She now helps ambitious women break
through limitations, reclaim their power, and actually enjoy the businesses
and lives they’ve built.
You don’t have to wait for referrals or cross your fingers for a viral
post. There’s a simple, repeatable system to grow your list—one I’ve used
to build 42,000+ subscribers and turn them into paying clients and
students. In this solo workshop, I’m walking you through the exact roadmap,
the lead magnets that actually convert, and how to set up steady lead flow
(even when life gets busy). Are you at zero or scaling to your next
thousand?
So many people ask me the same question: “How do I build an email list from
scratch?” In this episode, we’re diving into the basics of exactly that! I
want to talk about why your email list is one of your most powerful
business assets, how it’s the fastest, most direct way to reach your entire
audience, how it consistently delivers higher engagement than social media,
and how it helps you build genuine relationships that turn into sales.
What if I told you that getting lucky on LinkedIn isn’t about luck at all,
but rather about a strategy that’s amplified by your authenticity? Today,
I’m joined by the founder of Liam’s Brand Stand, Liam Darmody, to discuss
how he grew a thriving consultancy and a LinkedIn following of over 45,000
people by simply showing up as himself!
In this conversation, we break down his philosophy of ‘manifesting
serendipity’, how to turn your LinkedIn profile into a lead-generating
landing page, how to build an audience, and how to use tools to scale your
presence without losing your personality.
If you’ve been wondering how to market yourself without losing yourself or
how to make LinkedIn work for you, then this episode is definitely for
you!
Nurturing an email list takes time, and while it will absolutely get you
business, cold subscribers will take time to warm up and actually start
purchasing from you. But this is a long-term strategy that adds to the
stability of your business. Even though attracting subscribers is the topic
of discussion for today, I’m going to tell you something controversial:
it’s not where I would start when opening a small business! Instead, it’s
something I would continue to invest in over time, but it won’t get you
that initial attraction.
Want more leads and more revenue? This strategy lets you get paid to grow
your email list.
In this episode of The Strategy Hour Podcast, Abagail Pumphrey shares how
she’s built a thriving hybrid business using low-ticket digital offers that
turn strangers into subscribers—and subscribers into high-paying clients.
Discover how to get paid to grow your email list, why most small businesses
are stuck with limited capacity, and how to create a scalable offer
ecosystem that brings in qualified leads ready to buy. You’ll learn the
exact strategy that helped Abagail turn a $29 product into over $250K in
revenue, plus why Digital Product Jumpstart is the key to creating a funnel
that converts. Whether you sell templates, coaching, or digital courses,
this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you stop relying on
slow lead gen—and start getting paid for building your list.
On this episode of the Strategy Hour Pocast, I want to dig into how I would
start a business if there’s no existing audience — how I would get off the
ground, how we would get momentum, how I would create a community of people
who are actually listening to what I have to say and how I would make real
tangible dollar bills as early as possible in the process. But before we
get into the strategies, I just want to say that I have never met someone
who actually has no audience.
Last August, I joined a leadership course, and now we’re all going to the
UK together. I’ve known for almost a year now that I am going to be gone
for a week, and while I wanted to spend a ton of time preparing my
business, I’m 10 days out and realizing that I need to get it together!
I think we all enter a time in our business where we are excited about
stepping away but don’t want to drop the ball. So I’m going to share how
I’m (realistically) making it happen for myself and how you can too.
Are you evolving in your business but struggling to show up and bring your
audience along for the ride? In this live coaching session, I sit down with
Latoya Shanell, CEO and Principal Event Strategist of L’ Shanell + Co., to
tackle the visibility challenges that come with shifting from corporate
clients to serving small businesses.
Latoya runs an events company producing both small- and large-scale events,
primarily for corporate clients. Now, she’s looking to expand her reach and
work with more small businesses. In our conversation, we dig into what it
really means to show up and how to bring people with you as your business
evolves.
I definitely gave Latoya some tough love, but it’s a powerful reminder for
anyone who feels stuck when it comes to showing up online. If you want to
be more visible but don’t know where to begin, this episode is full of
practical ideas to get you moving. I can’t wait to see what you do with
them!
In this powerful crossover episode from the Branded Impact Podcast,
Abagail Pumphrey flips the script as guest and dives deep into personal
branding, business bandwidth, and knowing when to pivot or quit. Tune in as
Abagail and Jo Espejo explore how to build a brand that reflects your
authentic self, why doing less can actually lead to more sustainable
growth, and the secrets to designing a business that aligns with your life
— not the other way around. A must-listen for creative entrepreneurs,
service providers, and small business owners ready to embrace clarity and
impact.
I am posting for 100 days in a row on social media, and I am putting out
content that is meant to help people grow their visibility, their
followers, their email subscribers, or their buyers. I specifically wanted
to put this out into the world so that I could also grow my own list, with
the goal of adding 10,000 subscribers in 100 days. Now, this episode is the
full behind-the-scenes, why I decided to do it, how it’s different from my
100-Day LinkedIn experiment, and why I’m scared out of my mind. But I’m
confident this is exactly what I’m supposed to be doing.
I’m sure you’ve heard “go big or go home” before. But what if the real flex
was going small and staying home on purpose? I used to chase more because I
thought that more was always better, and it almost completely broke me.
Today, I’m going to help you reframe success and show you why dreaming
smaller might actually lead to more money, more impact, and a life you
can’t wait to wake up to!
For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to write a book! It
feels weird to say out loud, but I know that by sharing this with you, I
will also hold myself accountable and publish this thing. I’ve had a few
books stewing around in my brain for a few years now. But, after taking a
swing at a partnered brand deal a few years ago and deciding it wasn’t the
right fit for my first book, I’ve been a bit deflated. But people like
Justin Moore, who wrote Sponsor Magnet, and Jay Clouse, whom I hosted for a
super inspiring conversation and is in the throes of writing his own
conversation, have helped me to reconsider. Let’s get into it!
