Episode 16: Audacity Over Fear: The Entrepreneur Mindset

It’s our first episode of 2026..and we’re still kind of shook that the podcast has 1,100+ downloads across 19 countries. (Japan?! Singapore?! Hi besties. 👋)Today we’re switching gears from goofy relationship chaos to something we actually know a lot about: entrepreneurship. We share our real stories from Amanda’s 13-year journey (distillery → hog operation → personal training → insurance/financial advising) to Ashton’s path of founding nonprofits, building community programs, commercial property development, and running a consulting company with multiple clients.We break down the skills and mindset entrepreneurs need to survive (and thrive): discipline without a boss, tolerance for discomfort, handling rejection, delayed gratification, being misunderstood, and the biggest one-disconnecting your identity from your business results. Because your revenue can fluctuate… but your worth doesn’t.If you’re building something (or dreaming of it), this episode is your permission slip to stop playing small, think bigger than your zip code, and keep going even when the doubt spiral hits.Want us to answer your business question on the show?
