Rank #1: 19. How To Launch & Scale A Million-Dollar One-Person Business With Elaine Pofeldt
In this episode we’re talking to Elaine Pofeldt, former senior editor at Fortune Small Business magazine.
Elaine has dedicated her career to writing about entrepreneurship for publications such as Crain's New York Business, Fortune, Money, Inc., CNBC and many others.
The rise of one-million-dollar, one-person businesses in the past five years is the biggest trend in employment today, offering the widest range of people the most ways to earn a living while having the lifestyles they want and it’s the focus of her latest book, The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business.
It offers a road map to creating a seven-figure, ultra-lean business by sharing the strategies of entrepreneurs who have approached and hit $1 million in revenue before adding employees.
From their experiences, you’ll learn how to come up with the right business idea, how to develop concrete strategies you can use to turn your vision into reality, and how to scale your revenues and profits once they start rolling in.
In the episode we break down those themes and discuss the barriers stopping women from securing venture capital, the considerations you need to make before outsourcing work and what to start with first and why it’s more possible now than ever before to make a profitable business that serves the life you want to lead.

Rank #3: 34. The Secret To Rapidly Growing Your Email List With The Newsette Founder, Daniella Pierson
It’s all in the list.
You’ve probably heard that before but how intentionally have you been about growing the email subscribers for your business.
Building an engaged list is one of the few changes we made that helped take our business to the next level.
Because remember, all those followers you’re trying to attract on Instagram?
You don’t own them.
Mark Zuckerberg does.

That’s why in this episode of the show, we’re talking to Daniella Pierson, the founder of The Newsette, a daily newsletter with over a million subscribers.
She breaks down why your email list is worth investing time in and the strategies she’s used to grow The Newsette. We deep dive into the platform she uses, the variables she’s A/B testing and the numbers you need to pay attention to, to find out what your audience wants more of.
We explore the power of co-branded sweepstakes, strategies to monetise your list and get the low down on the best days and time to send emails that make the biggest impact.

Rank #4: 7. How To Turn Ideas Into Action with The Detox Kitchen Founder, Lily Simpson
The Detox Kitchen founder, Lily Simpson is a master at turning big ideas into realities. When she wanted to transition from working in property development to catering, she simply asked her boss if she could create the food for one of their next corporate functions. To get her catering business started, she simply put a list together of 20 people she wanted to work with, Googled the companies and reached out. Six months later she had left her job and was catering up to seven events per week. The rest, as they say is history.
For Lily, it wasn’t about relying on industry relationships – she didn’t have them. Instead, her story is the perfect example of what happens when you break things down, do the research and have the patience to wait for an idea to fully developed before moving to the next. This episode will break down how you can do the same.

Rank #6: 37. The Art of Running An Intuitive Big, Small Business With Susan Connor
There is so much misinformation out there about entrepreneurship right now; from one size fits all formulas, glorification of the hustle and outdated ideas of what a successful business actually looks like.
That’s why we’re so thrilled to have textile designer, Susan Connor on the podcast today. She is the perfect example of an entrepreneur who has steered away from convention and tapped into her intuition to create a profitable business on her own terms.
In this episode, you will learn why Susan decided to follow her instinct and close her first business despite the success she was experiencing. We talk about why entering into an industry as outsider can often be your competitive advantage and the questions she asks herself before she creates anything.
Susan also shares why historically she’s said ‘no’ to big opportunities when they’ve felt out of alignment and the strategies she’s used instead to grow her client base in a slower, but more fulfilling way.
As Tony Robbins famously said, running a business is 80% mindset and 20% strategy so explore that. She talks candidly about the resistance that has popped up as she’s grown her business beyond her wildest expectations and the mental work she’s had to do to overcome that and truly step into her power.

Rank #8: 38. How To Intentionally Create An Abundance Mindset & Flow Into Alignment
We all know that having a positive mindset is the secret source to cultivate lives and businesses that we love but where to start?
That’s the question we posed to mindset expert, Ayla Khosroshahi on this episode of the show.
Ayla is the co-founder of Mindshift Ninja, a company she founded with her brother to support people in overcoming limiting beliefs, getting to grips with their why and learning how to thrive without strain.
We start our conversation by exploring the empowering questions Ayla asked herself that helped her go from burnt out and sick to doing the work she does today.
She explains why willpower isn’t enough to manifest your dreams and the strategies you can use to show up even when you don’t feel motivated to.
We explore simple, daily practices you can use to get into alignment and how to approach productivity with compassion rather than judging ourselves on how much we output.
Ayla gets candid about the mindset challenges that popped up since she gave birth for the first time last year and also gives you the tools you need to create a growth mindset no matter what challenges pop-up in your life.

Rank #12: 17. What An MS Diagnosis Taught This Magazine Owner About Taking Risks
Today on the show I’m talking to my friend, Alison Engstrom, founder of Brooklyn-based, print magazine, Rose & Ivy.
From the very first discovery of her mother’s copies of Vogue, she was entranced by print and moved to New York from Charleston, South Carolina with the hopes of securing a role in the beauty department of one of the women’s magazines. But this all happened against the backdrop of the recession. Nobody was hiring and it was the start of teams shrinking and the closure of many of the beloved magazines we’ve all grown up with.
It’s what promoted her transition into marketing before ultimately closing that door and going full circle in creating a print magazine of her own.
Alison and I talk about what it was like being laid off, not once, twice but three times from marketing roles and how, looking back, it seems like the universe had always been trying to point her in a different direction.
She talks candidly about being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a month before her wedding day, and how her diagnosis gave her the confidence to follow her bliss and pursue her dream.
We also talk about how she started the magazine with no industry contacts and is now working with leading designers and rising talent on covers, only two and a half years in.

It’s what promoted her transition into marketing before ultimately closing that door and going full circle in creating a print magazine of her own.
Alison and I talk about what it was like being laid off, not once, twice but three times from marketing roles and how, looking back, it seems like the universe had always been trying to point her in a different direction.
She talks candidly about being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a month before her wedding day, and how her diagnosis gave her the confidence to follow her bliss and pursue her dream.
We also talk about how she started the magazine with no industry contacts and is now working with leading designers and rising talent on covers, only two and a half years in.

Rank #13: 57. How To Make Six-Figures As An Influencer (Even With A Small Following)
Today on the podcast, we’re talking to Erin Trafford, the force behind DIY Passion blog and the co-founder of Storyhouse Co, a digital agency helping brands navigate the influencer marketing landscape.
The youngest talk show host in Canada, Erin spent more than a decade in broadcast journalism in newsrooms across the country before starting her blog. And, while it started as a hobby to keep her family updated with the renovations she was making on her first apartment, it quickly turned into a full-time business and in today’s conversation, she breaks down how.
We talk about how to build a community and a following when you’re first starting out; the numbers you need to know in order to decide when you’re ready to go full time as an influencer and the ingredients of a good brand pitch.
There’s a science behind booking your calendar with client deals and Erin explains how she manages to be booked months in advance and how she teaches her blogging clients to do the same. We talk about how to set your rates, when it makes sense to take experiences or product in lieu of payment and steps you can take to diversify your revenue and ongoing residual income.

Rank #14: 71. How To Free Yourself From Lies That Keep You Small With Tanya Geisler
In this episode of the show, we’re talking to TEDx speaker and transformative coach, Tanya Geiser.
She came to coaching after years in an outwardly successful but ultimately unsatisfying career in advertising. She logged the hours, delivered the results but kept waiting for a deep-seated feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction that never arrived.
9/11, the death of her mother and the birth of daughter within a 9 month span was the turning point that inspired her to leave her job and really uncover what her true purpose is.
Today, she works with clients in overcoming the limiting beliefs keeping them small so they too, can step into their true calling.
In our conversation, Tanya breaks down the main differences between self-doubt and imposter complex and the mistaken beliefs we tell ourselves that keep us stuck. We walks through strategies you can use to quickly identify limiting beliefs and work through them.

Rank #17: 21. Launching & Scaling A Bricks & Mortar Store With Smug’s Lizzie Evans
Today on the show, we're talking to Lizzie Evans, founder of much loved London-based lifestyle store, Smug.
Lizzie was 23 years old when she started the store. She was freelancing in graphic design in Australia when she got the idea for the business, playing with her style and fine tuning what her visual identity is.
Huge success came from her mix of carefully curated antique furniture, stationary pieces from brands like Rifle Paper Co, long before it became the big brand it is today, along with a slew of co-created exclusives with brands that publications and those in the know went crazy for.
Instead of opening stores across the city, she launched the Smug website and focused on getting creative about what she could do with one flagship store.
We talk about how the business has evolved and what it was like starting a business as a 23 year old with nothing more than optimism and a vision. She talks about some of the challenges she faced after the business’s initial growth spurt, what she’s learnt about delegating and some of the early hiring mistakes she made. We also talk about the power of community in business and why her podcast, How To Curate Your Life, was always about connection, and not about making money.

Rank #19: 90. Pricing, Money Mindset + Creating Offers That Sell
As anyone who’s run a business with attest, scaling a company isn’t simply down to strategies and tactics. As money coach Whitney Hansen explains, so much of it is working through the limiting money beliefs that keep us stuck; the kind that keep us playing small, afraid to ask for the sale and continuing to undervalue what we have to offer.
In this episode of the show, Whitney walks us through exactly how she was able to unravel and heal childhood traumas around money so that she could not only get out of debt but also how she was able to educate herself about money in the process and now make a living teaching others what she’s learned.
On top of providing practical advice like the important metrics to track in your business, how she organises her time using the 80/20 rule, she walks us through how to set revenue goals, healthy money habits to implement to improve your relationship with money and how to reinvest your profits in a way that no only moves your business forward about also feels good.
Imposter syndrome and beliefs about not having enough skills or not being competent enough to sell your expertise as a service are just a few of the things that came up for her when she got started. She shares how she was able to unravel some of those beliefs so she could increase her pricing and broaden her impact.
Naomi Mdudu is a speaker, business coach, and the founder of The Lifestyle Edit. She is the creator of the Thrive Mastermind, a 12-month high-level mastermind for service business owners ready to increase their income and impact with more systems and ease, less overwhelm and hustle.

Rank #20: 32. How To Outsource And Create Systems In Your Business With Mandi Holmes
In this episode of the show, we’re talking to Mandi Holmes, founder of She Can Coterie, an agency that supports creative female founders to scale their businesses by pairing up them with skilled contractors for done-for-you services.
As any small business owner knows, in the beginning you’re doing everything but real growth means breaking away from the myth that you’re the only person that can manage certain tasks, and instead, investing in automations, workflows and people to free you up to focus on the bigger picture.
In this episode, you will learn:
- The tasks you can automate cheaply and quickly using technology and the tools Mandi and her team swear by.
- The tell-tale signs that you’re ready to work with contractors and what tasks to delegate first.
- Tips and tricks on how to create workflows and systems that you can use to on-board new clients or team members.
We go deep on systems and planning but we also explore what’s working in her business too. She shares her process for bringing in new leads into her business, how she manages sales calls and strategies for reducing churn in a subscription-based model.
She also shares how often she raises her rates (the number might surprise you!), how she knows when it’s time for an increase and how she communicates changes like that with existing clients.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed or like you don’t know what to focus on to push the needle in your business, pay attention because Mandi will take you step-by-step through strategies to reduce your to-do-list and delegate while remaining consistent and keeping standards high.
