In this episode, Ashley sits down with her Executive and Personal Assistant, Rose, for an honest conversation about what it's really like to manage both sides of her world — business and personal. Rose shares how she originally pitched herself for the role after connecting with Ashley through her husband (who happens to work with Kyle, Ashley's husband), and how that bold move turned into a full-time position that blends both professional strategy and personal support. Together, they discuss the balance between being an EA and a PA, how some weeks are heavy on business operations and team support, while others lean more into household management and personal logistics. If you've ever wondered what it looks like to have (or be) an assistant who keeps the CEO running smoothly in every area of life, this episode pulls back the curtain on the rhythms, challenges, and trust that make it all work.

Influencers already have what most businesses are chasing...trust. That loyal audience, the solid ground of followers, is the ultimate unfair advantage. In this episode, we're breaking down how influencers can use paid ads to pour gasoline on an already burning fire — turning organic reach into scalable, consistent growth. Ashley dives into the long-term effects of owning your audience instead of relying solely on social media platforms. From where to strategically place your ads, to how Amazon attribution links can track real results, and how influencers can leverage their following for more than just one-time conversions. Most influencers only get paid on the cart value — but the real money is in everything that comes after: bonuses, repeat purchases, and brand relationships built on data and trust. If you already have followers, this episode will show you how to turn that influence into a sustainable business model that keeps paying off long after the first click.
