Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From Scientist to Business Owner: How Alyssa Mouton Bought a Laundromat and Won Federal Contracts
Q: How did you win your first contract, and how did you research a strategy to identify how to win it?
She points to small-business set-asides, including women-owned certification, as a way to reduce competition. She recommends meeting solicitation requirements, pricing carefully, and using commercial, state, or local procurement work to build past performance.
From Scientist to Business Owner: How Alyssa Mouton Bought a Laundromat and Won Federal Contracts
Q: How did you find and create those opportunities to grow the laundromat business?

When Divorce Puts Your Business at Risk: Jamie Paine on Protecting What You Built
Q: What are some of the examples that you've seen of that? Like I want to talk about impact on the financial standpoint, but also have you seen a business be impacted by divorce so that the owner had to close the doors and lose everything she's worked for?
Paine describes a case involving lost contracts, upset vendors, and possible lawsuits when divorce disrupted operations. She explains that courts may value a business and require a spouse buyout without providing the cash to fund it, but says legal and business advisers can sometimes structure solutions that let the owner keep the company.
When Divorce Puts Your Business at Risk: Jamie Paine on Protecting What You Built
Q: What are things that us as women business owners need to be thinking about, regardless if a divorce is happening or in our future, just from like a legal perspective, how do we protect the asset that we have built?
Paine recommends considering a prenuptial agreement before marriage or a postnuptial agreement later, keeping clear financial records, and having an attorney prepare an operating agreement. She also urges owners to plan for how a spouse's role in a business would change during a divorce and to seek legal advice before a crisis where possible.
Stop Shrinking Your Brand: Kim Bode on Turning “Too Much” Into a Business Advantage
Q: So who manages your finances and runs your payroll now?
Bode says she manages the finances and payroll herself after discovering that her sister had embezzled company funds. She says the experience taught her that business owners have to take responsibility for understanding what is happening inside their finances.
