  • A lot of small talk

    I so wanted to love this podcast and these girls (they seem super sweet) but after what felt like the longest time getting through ‘boss or bust,’ ‘current obsessions,’ inside jokes, and unnecessary personal information..13 minutes later it was still a lot of content that wasn’t super helpful. They have great intent but just not for me.

  • Good could be great

    Like the podcast. Would be great but the audio quality is not the best and hard to listen to. Some voices are super quiet and some are super loud. Could you re-edit and fix the sound?

EP 92: From Accidental Business to Booked-Out Shopify Studio with Heidi Ewert from Endswell Studio

EP 92: From Accidental Business to Booked-Out Shopify Studio with Heidi Ewert from Endswell Studio
Q: How did you end up transitioning from teaching to website development/product-based design?
Heidi explains that the pivot happened after a drop for a client went smoothly, which led to a flood of inquiries; she chose to follow the opportunity and lean into her growing passion for designing and automating e-commerce experiences rather than continuing teaching.
Episode 66 | From Chaos to Clarity: Streamlining Systems & Scaling with Britt Holmes of Merit Media & The Operations Collective
Q: But before we dive in, can you tell us, Britt, did you have a boss or bust moment this week?
Britt shares a chaotic Monday story and emphasizes keeping things real, including personal and parenting challenges, and how she maintains momentum despite a rough start.
EP 90: AI Won't Replace You. It'll Force You to Become More You with Kelsey Kerslake
Q: What would you say to someone who is fearful or overwhelmed by AI?
Start by identifying the worst-case scenario and examine whether that fear stems from core beliefs or external influences, then choose to engage with AI in a discerning, value-aligned way that supports your growth rather than replaces it.

Sol learns individual patterns, offers weekly check-ins, and helps people uncover their inner values and vision, providing a more personal, process-focused form of guidance than generic AI that is primarily task-oriented.
