The Entrepreneurial You

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Heneka Watkis-Porter shares a message that has been resting on her heart for months. After years of inspiring conversations, thought-provoking interviews, and groundbreaking contributions to the Caribbean podcasting space, Heneka reveals that God has been calling her into a new season—one that requires her to lay this podcast down. What began as a quiet stirring in her spirit grew into undeniable confirmation. Heneka openly reflects on her initial disappointment, the gradual peace that followed, and the divine affirmations that made the direction clear. One of the most impactful came during an interview with Nerissa Golden, whose prophetic words confirmed that Heneka’s assignment as the “podcast queen” had reached its completion. Despite previously planning episodes through December, Heneka explains how returning from the LeadHerShip Cruise made it impossible to continue. She cancelled upcoming interviews and embraced the truth: something greater is ahead. Throughout this farewell message, Heneka also shares: The spiritual call that prompted her to end the podcast. Nerissa Golden’s prophetic insight that brought clarity and confirmation. The evolution of Caribbean podcasting and Heneka’s pioneering role. Why she is also stepping back temporarily from The Entrepreneurial You TV show. A heartfelt message of gratitude to listeners, guests, sponsors, and partners. Encouragement for listeners to walk boldly into their own God-given purpose. When Heneka launched The Entrepreneurial You, very few in the Caribbean even knew what a podcast was. Today, the region is filled with podcasters and loyal listeners—a movement she helped ignite. She acknowledges this season with pride, gratitude, and a readiness for the next chapter God has prepared. Though this is the final episode of The Entrepreneurial You podcast, it is not an ending—it's a transition. Heneka encourages everyone to stay connected for what’s next, reminding us that the journey of purpose is ever-unfolding. “Your best is yet to come.” — Heneka Watkis-Porter The conversation that held the final confirmation:Living Fearless: Overcoming Fear to Build Bold, Purpose-Driven Businesses with Nerissa Golden 🔗 https://henekawatkisporter.com/living-fearless-overcoming-fear-to-build-bold-purpose-driven-businesses-with-nerissa-golden/ ✨ Key Reflections in This Episode✨ A Legacy of Impact✨ A Message of Hope & Purpose🎧 Listen to the Episode with Nerissa Golden Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of The Entrepreneurial You, host Heneka Watkis-Porter sits down with Lee Stewart, a globally recognised sustainability strategist, educator, and author of How to Build Sustainability into Your Business Strategy. Lee shares how sustainability has evolved from a buzzword into a core business imperative—one that directly impacts profitability, brand value, and long-term growth. Drawing from two decades of hands-on experience, Lee offers actionable insights on embedding sustainability into company culture and strategy. Demystifying Sustainability and Driving Real Impact Heneka and Lee unpack the misconceptions surrounding sustainability—like the idea that a single policy or small team is enough. Lee challenges this notion by stressing that sustainability must be woven into the fabric of an organisation, not treated as a side initiative. He defines sustainability simply: leaving the world better than you found it. Businesses, he says, must stop harmful practices, reduce waste, and create more resilient, value-driven operations. Empowering Change Through Strategy and Community Heneka highlights ongoing leadership events focused on values-driven entrepreneurship, and encourages listeners to embrace sustainability not just as a goal—but as a way of thinking. As the episode closes, Lee invites business owners to subscribe to his newsletter and enter a giveaway for a signed copy of his book. He reminds us that sustainability isn’t a destination, but a journey that strengthens business, people, and the planet. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • Why sustainability is a long-term business advantage, not just a trend • How to identify and overcome common sustainability misconceptions • How SMEs can align with the sustainability goals of larger customers • Where to find high-quality, free sustainability education • Why leadership consistency matters in sustainability strategy • How to build momentum through small wins and clear goals • Why curiosity and adaptability are key to future-proofing your business COMMUNITY CONNECTION: Don’t forget about the upcoming LeadHerShip Cruise, where leaders like YOU can network and grow aboard Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas! This four-day event blends empowerment with transformative learning against the stunning backdrop of the Bahamas. For more details, contact heneka@henekawatkisporter.com or WhatsApp 876-849-2571.
