    I'm a big fan of Emily and Small Business Casual- I never miss an episode!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stuff They Don't Say: The Business Owner Roller Coaster w/Kristy Ouellette
Q: What's something you've learned over the past 12 years that's been most impactful?
Investing in the right people and building strong, trusted relationships—especially with other women entrepreneurs—has been transformative, as has creating and maintaining a retreat culture that reinforces team bonds and professional growth.
Stuff They Don't Say: The Business Owner Roller Coaster w/Kristy Ouellette
Q: What are some misconceptions about travel agents and can they do it themselves?
Common myths include that travel agents aren't needed anymore due to online booking tools, and that many agents are part of MLM structures; Kristy emphasizes professional training, reliability, and hands-on support, especially in complex trips, which AI and DIY planning often miss.
Stuff They Don't Say: The Business Owner Roller Coaster w/Kristy Ouellette
Q: What do you attribute the business exploding to?
Her relentless energy and focused customer-first approach, starting with solving a personal problem (needing to take vacations) and then translating that into a scalable service that attracted agents and clients; plus the credibility built by taking on experienced staff and expanding carefully.
Leaving the Casino: Building a Business that Actually Works for YOU with Jessica Lackey
Q: What are the different kinds of business models and how do they change marketing needs?
Delivery-based models (craftsman/coach/agency) focus on one-to-one or hands-on work, while creator-based models monetize content or audience through courses, memberships, and events; each requires different marketing, sales, and scale strategies, with distinct client and message needs.
Leaving the Casino: Building a Business that Actually Works for YOU with Jessica Lackey
Q: Can you just explain what a fractional chief operating officer does?
A fractional COO acts as the integrator who executes on the big plan by keeping projects on track, handling proposals, tracking finances, and coordinating operations, while the business owner focuses on vision and services.
