The Pursuit Podcast

Most founders think hiring shapes their reputation. It does…but so does rejection. In this episode, we're talking about the part of hiring no one teaches: how to tell a candidate they didn't get the job without damaging your brand, your future pipeline, or your integrity.   Because the truth is that people remember how they were treated when the answer was no. A ghosted applicant or cold copy-paste email can quietly cost you more than you realize.   But one thoughtful, respectful message can make you stand out in a world where most employers handle this terribly. If you're building a serious business, these small moments matter - and today, we're getting into how to handle them well. Let's do it! ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MISSION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

Here's a mindset shift that's going to mess with you a little - when an A-player walks into an interview with you, they're not just hoping you pick them. They're sizing you up.   Top talent has options, and they're sitting across from you quietly deciding whether you're the kind of leader they want to follow, whether your business is the kind of place they want to spend their best years, and whether you actually have your stuff together or you're winging it.   In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what A-players are actually looking for when they interview you - the questions they ask that most founders aren't prepared for, the things they're quietly judging about your leadership in the first five minutes, the culture signals that make them lean in, and the stuff that quietly kills the offer before you even make it.   Here's the question I want you to sit with before your next interview: would an A-player choose me? If you're not sure, this episode is for you. Let's audit your process through their eyes.   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MISSION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

I want you to actually pause for a second and picture this: it's a regular Tuesday afternoon. The business is humming. Projects are moving forward without you having to push them. Your inbox isn't this overflowing pile of things other people could be handling. You've got an actual deep work block on your calendar that nobody is interrupting. And by Friday…You log off - actually log off.   No frantic last-minute fires, no Sunday Scaries, no mental tabs left open all weekend. You're present with your family. You remember why you started this thing in the first place. Sounds dreamy, right?   Here's what I want you to know - this isn't a fantasy. It's not reserved for the lucky few. Every single founder I know who lives a week like this built it on purpose.   Today I'm walking you through what a healthy week actually looks like when you have the right team in place - what's on your calendar, what's not on your plate anymore, how the business moves without you being the engine, and what your life outside of work starts to feel like when this all clicks.   Consider this your vision board in podcast form. The version of you living this week already exists. She just hasn't finished hiring and systemizing yet. Let's go map it out together.   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MISSION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

Here's something most founders don't realize - you're losing your A-players before they ever even hit "apply."   Your post was boring, robotic, or read like every other listing on the internet. And I get it, we treat job posts like a logistics task - slap together some bullet points, list the requirements, hit publish, done.   But the truth is, your job post is marketing. It's your first impression. It's the moment a future A-player either leans in and thinks "this is me" or scrolls right past you to your competitor.   So in this episode I'm breaking down the exact framework I use to write job posts that pull in serious applicants and quietly repel the wrong ones. By the end, I want you to pull up the last job post you wrote and rip it apart with me. Trust me, the difference in your applicant pool will be night and day.   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MISSION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

Okay, real talk - the first week with a new hire is way more important than most founders give it credit for.   Your new employee is basically deciding within the first two weeks whether they made the right call taking this job, or whether they're already low-key updating their resume. And the wild part is, most founders are completely losing them on day one without even realizing it.   The whole "we'll just figure it out as we go" thing? That's not an onboarding plan. That's a recipe for a confused, anxious new hire who quietly checks out by week three.   So in this episode I'm walking you through what an actual onboarding week should look like - day by day, what to cover, what to have ready before they even start, the one conversation almost nobody has but absolutely should, and how to spot the early signs that things are or aren't clicking.   Let's get into it.   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MISSION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

Let's talk about the conversation you've been avoiding. You know the one. The employee who isn't pulling their weight, the standards that keep slipping, the feedback that's been sitting in the back of your throat for weeks.   You keep telling yourself you'll handle it next week… but deep down, you know it's costing you. I'm walking you through the exact framework to have the hard conversation without it turning into a blow-up or a surprise resignation - how to prep, the words to open with (and the ones to never use), how to tell the difference between a skill issue and a will issue, and what to do when nothing changes.   Because a mentor once told me something that changed everything: clarity is kind. Soft isn't kind. Avoidance isn't kind. Honesty is. If you've been dragging your feet on a tough talk, this is your sign, and your script. Press play.   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MISSION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

You hired a team so you could finally breathe… so why does it still feel like everything lives on your plate? What's hard to realize sometimes as a founder is that our employees aren't always the problem or bad, or lazy. They just can't read your mind, and you haven't built the culture, the hiring filter, or the role structure that invites them to step up and lead.   In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the two non-negotiables that separate overworked owners from the ones who actually get to run their business instead of being run by it.   We're talking about the exact interview questions that reveal a true go-getter in under five minutes, the tiny shift in how you describe a role that turns "bare-minimum employee" into "proactive problem-solver," and the magic combination that finally - finally - takes the mental load off your shoulders for good.   If you've ever thought "it would just be faster if I did it myself," stop everything and press play. This one's about to change the way you lead. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MISSION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

If you've ever prided yourself on being the "nice" boss - the one who's understanding, flexible, always willing to jump in and help - this episode might hit a little closer than you expect. Because what starts as good intentions can quietly turn into blurred expectations, inconsistent standards, and a team that relies on your kindness more than your leadership. In this episode, I'm breaking down the truth no one talks about: how being the "nice" boss can actually create confusion, slow down your business, and put you right back in the center of everything. We're getting into the difference between being kind vs. being clear, why your team doesn't need more softness - they need more certainty - and how to lead in a way that protects your time, your standards, and your business as you grow. If you've ever felt the tension between being a good person and being a strong leader… this episode will change how you see it. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

If hitting $500K somehow made your life feel heavier instead of freer, this episode is going to hit you right in the gut in the best way. Because what's actually happening isn't that your business is "growing"… it's that it's growing around you, still depending on you for every decision, every approval, every "quick question" that slowly steals your time, your focus, and honestly… your peace at home. In this episode, I'm breaking down the exact leadership layers that are missing if you're busier now than you were at $100K. And why more team members won't fix it. We're getting into the real reason your Slack is full of "can you confirm?", why your org chart is built for execution instead of ownership, and how to restructure your business so decisions stop routing through you. If you're craving a business that runs, moves, and grows without needing you in every corner of it, this is the shift you've been missing. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

As your team grows, one quiet fear starts creeping in for almost every founder: How do I know things are still being done right if I'm not touching everything anymore? The answer isn't micromanaging - it's installing the right quality checkpoints. In this episode, we're talking about how strong CEOs design simple checkpoints inside their operations that protect the standard of the business while still allowing the team to run. If you want your company to grow without quality slipping, client experiences declining, or mistakes multiplying behind the scenes, this conversation will show you how to build the guardrails that keep everything strong as your team expands. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

There's a subtle shift that happens inside growing companies - the moment when your team stops just taking instructions and starts thinking like owners. But that shift rarely happens by accident. It's usually triggered by one specific change in how meetings are run. In this episode, we're talking about the simple meeting shift that turns assistants into leaders - the kind that gets your team solving problems, making decisions, and moving the business forward without everything flowing through you first. If you want a team that thinks, leads, and operates at a higher level, this conversation will change how you run your meetings starting this week. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.

No one really talks about this part of building a company: sometimes you outgrow the people who helped you build it. Early hires are often loyal, hardworking, and deeply connected to the story of the business… which makes it incredibly uncomfortable when the company begins to grow beyond the structure they were originally hired for. In this episode, we're talking about the leadership side of scaling that most founders quietly wrestle with - how to recognize when a role has outgrown its original shape, how to navigate these transitions with integrity, and how great CEOs honor the people who helped build the early days while still leading the company into its next stage. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

Somewhere between $200K and $1M in revenue, almost every founder hits the same crossroads - and most of them make the wrong hiring decision without realizing it. They hire too fast, hire the wrong role, or bring someone in hoping it will finally "fix the overwhelm." But the truth is, this stage of business requires a very specific kind of hiring decision, and getting it wrong can keep a company stuck in founder-dependency for years. In this episode, we're breaking down the hiring move most founders miss in this stage of growth, why it quietly stalls momentum, and how to make the decision that actually unlocks the next level of scale. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219 It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :) Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community! ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

Have you ever had to give feedback to a team member and suddenly the whole thing feels… personal? The tension, the over-explaining, the feeling that you're managing emotions instead of leading the business. Here's the truth most founders eventually discover: when feedback feels emotional, it usually means the system is missing. In this episode, we're talking about how 7-figure CEOs handle feedback differently — not by avoiding hard conversations, but by installing clear structures that make expectations, performance, and course-corrections objective instead of personal. If you want a team culture where feedback actually strengthens the company instead of draining you, this episode will completely change how you approach it. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

Most business owners talk about hiring like it's one simple decision: "I just need help." But here's the truth almost no one explains - not all hires are created equal. Some hires are there to relieve pressure and keep things moving. Others are there to actually grow the business. And if you don't know the difference, it's incredibly easy to hire the wrong type of person at the wrong stage… and wonder why things still feel stuck. In this episode, we're breaking down the difference between helper hires and growth hires, the pros and cons of each, and how to know which one your business actually needs right now so your next hire moves the company forward instead of just adding another moving piece. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓ 25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓ Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.

There's a quiet lie floating around the business world that says you have to choose: profit or culture. Either you build a high-performing, profitable company… or you create a kind, healthy team environment. But the truth is, the best companies refuse that trade-off. In this episode, we're unpacking why profit and culture are not competitors - they're partners. I'll show you how the most effective leaders build teams where high standards and deep trust exist at the same time… and why the companies that scale the fastest are the ones where culture actually drives performance. If you've ever wondered whether you're pushing your team too hard… or not enough… this conversation will completely reframe how you think about leadership. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓ 25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓   Every week, Amanda brings you actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!

People ask us all the time how we do it all, run multiple businesses, raise babies, and still actually have an amazing marriage at the end of the day. 😅 The truth? It's not magic, and it's definitely not perfection. In this episode, I am pulling back the curtain on what really makes our partnership work, the systems, conversations, boundaries, and mindset shifts that keep our marriage strong while building big things together. If you've ever wondered how to grow a business without sacrificing your relationship, this conversation is honest, practical, and full of "oh wow, that makes so much sense" moments.   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓   Every week, Amanda brings you actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!   Catch us on Instagram @hirewithamanda - we'd love to chat with you about your dream business.   Connecting with business leaders is a huge passion for us and we can't wait to meet you!   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

I know this sounds completely backwards, why would you ever want to make yourself replaceable as the CEO? Isn't that the whole point of being the owner? 😅 I used to think the same thing… until being needed for everything started running my life. In this episode, I'm breaking down why being indispensable is actually a trap, how making yourself replaceable creates more freedom (not less control), and what shifts when your business can run beautifully without you in every decision, inbox, or meeting. If you're the bottleneck but also terrified of letting go… trust me, you want this conversation.   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓   Every week, Amanda brings you actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!   Catch us on Instagram @hirewithamanda - we'd love to chat with you about your dream business.   Connecting with business leaders is a huge passion for us and we can't wait to meet you!   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

If you've ever looked at your team and thought, How are all of these wildly different humans supposed to work together?… you're not alone. 😅 One person moves fast, one needs details, one asks a million questions, and another barely says a word, and somehow you're supposed to turn that into a high-performing team. In this episode, we're talking about how to stop fighting personality differences and start using them to your advantage. I'm sharing what actually creates harmony (hint: it's not "everyone just getting along"), how to lead different personalities without micromanaging or losing your mind, and the simple shifts that turn friction into trust, clarity, and momentum. If team dynamics feel messy right now, this episode will change how you see them.   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓   Every week, Amanda brings you actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!   Catch us on Instagram @hirewithamanda - we'd love to chat with you about your dream business.   Connecting with business leaders is a huge passion for us and we can't wait to meet you!   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

I know it sounds dramatic… but I've given birth more than once, and I still stand by this take. 😅 Your first hire can feel absolutely terrifying. The pressure. The responsibility. The "what if I mess this up and ruin everything?" spiral at 2 a.m. In this episode, I'm breaking down why hiring your first employee feels so emotional, so heavy, and so personal, and why nothing is actually wrong with you if it feels harder than you expected. If you're hovering in that "I know I need help but I'm scared to pull the trigger" phase, this conversation will make you feel seen, understood, and way more confident about your next step.   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓   Every week, Amanda brings you actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!   Catch us on Instagram @hirewithamanda - we'd love to chat with you about your dream business.   Connecting with business leaders is a huge passion for us and we can't wait to meet you!   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

Let's be honest, not every client is a dream client, and some of the biggest headaches in business start with red flags we definitely noticed… and chose to ignore anyway. 😅 In this episode, I'm breaking down three client red flags that seem small at first but almost always turn into stress, scope creep, and regret later. I'm sharing what they actually look like in real life, why they're so easy to brush off when you need the sale, and how to protect your time, energy, and sanity without feeling awkward or unkind. If you've ever thought "it'll probably be fine"… this one's for you.   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MSISION ↓   Every week, Amanda brings you actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!   Catch us on Instagram @hirewithamanda - we'd love to chat with you about your dream business.   Connecting with business leaders is a huge passion for us and we can't wait to meet you!   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

I didn't realize how close I was to burning out until the smallest decisions started feeling heavy. What to reply. What to delegate.

I'll walk you through what wasn't working when I prioritized resumes and experience, the costly lessons that forced me to rethink my approach, and how hiring for character has completely changed my team, culture, and peace as a leader. If you've ever hired someone "on paper" who didn't work out in real life, this episode will give you a clearer, more sustainable way to build a team you actually trust. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   Your First Game-Changing Hire | A Free Masterclass Series ✨ —> Learn how to attract, hire, and retain A-player employees so that you can grow your business and get things off of your plate https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training ______________________________________________________ FOLLOW ALONG ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT US ↓   Every week, Amanda brings you actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!   Catch us on Instagram @hirewithamanda - we'd love to chat with you about your dream business.   Connecting with business leaders is a huge passion for us and we can't wait to meet you! ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community! ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

What if productivity wasn't about doing more, but about creating space to actually live more? In this episode, we're diving into why the entire world should adopt a 4-day work week (and yes, why you should too!). From higher creativity to happier teams to less burnout, the data, and my own experience, prove that working less doesn't mean achieving less. It means working smarter, leading better, and finally having the energy to enjoy the life you've been building so hard for.   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCE ↓   Your First Game-Changing Hire | A Free Masterclass Series   —> Learn how to attract, hire, and retain A-player employees so that you can grow your business and get things off of your plate   Get it here: https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training   ______________________________________________________ FOLLOW ALONG ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT US ↓   Every week, Amanda brings you actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!   Catch us on Instagram @hirewithamanda - we'd love to chat with you about your dream business.   Connecting with business leaders is a huge passion for us and we can't wait to meet you!   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

Let's talk about something most entrepreneurs don't share enough: what it actually looks like to outsource in your personal life. Because yes, I'm a CEO… but I'm also a wife, a mom, and a human who only has 24 hours in a day. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the things I personally outsource at home, from groceries to laundry to mental load tasks, and how it's completely changed the way our family functions. This isn't about being "too good" to do it all. It's about building a life that feels peaceful, present, and aligned with your values (without burning out in the process).   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCE ↓   Your First Game-Changing Hire | A Free Masterclass Series   —> Learn how to attract, hire, and retain A-player employees so that you can grow your business and get things off of your plate   Get it here: https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training   ______________________________________________________ FOLLOW ALONG ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT US ↓   Every week, Amanda brings you actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!   Catch us on Instagram @hirewithamanda - we'd love to chat with you about your dream business.   Connecting with business leaders is a huge passion for us and we can't wait to meet you!   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

This is where we get into the sneaky myths that sound logical, but secretly hold your business back from growing. Things like "I'll just hire my cousin; I can trust her," or "My business isn't big enough for a team yet." These thoughts might feel safe or practical, but in reality, they keep you playing small and overworked. In this next part of the series, we're breaking down the most common lies CEOs tell themselves about hiring, and what to believe instead if you actually want to scale with peace, profit, and a team that truly has your back.   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCE ↓   Your First Game-Changing Hire | A Free Masterclass Series   —> Learn how to attract, hire, and retain A-player employees so that you can grow your business and get things off of your plate   Get it here: https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training   ______________________________________________________ FOLLOW ALONG ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT US ↓   Every week, Amanda brings you actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!   Catch us on Instagram @hirewithamanda - we'd love to chat with you about your dream business.   Connecting with business leaders is a huge passion for us and we can't wait to meet you!   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

Hiring has gotten a bad reputation. Between the horror stories of lazy employees, high turnover, and endless "no one wants to work anymore" rants, it's no wonder so many CEOs feel burned out and skeptical about building a team. But…most of what you've heard about hiring is built on myths that quietly keep you stuck doing everything yourself. In this series, we're unpacking the biggest lies about finding (and keeping) great people, and replacing them with the truth that actually leads to freedom, not frustration!   ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCE ↓   Your First Game-Changing Hire | A Free Masterclass Series   —> Learn how to attract, hire, and retain A-player employees so that you can grow your business and get things off of your plate   Get it here: https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training   ______________________________________________________ FOLLOW ALONG ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT US ↓   Every week, Amanda brings you actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!   Catch us on Instagram @hirewithamanda - we'd love to chat with you about your dream business.   Connecting with business leaders is a huge passion for us and we can't wait to meet you!   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

I used to think leadership was about being the smartest person in the room or having the best strategy, but boy oh boy, was I wrong lol. The truth is, I learned some of my most powerful leadership lessons by messing up…badly.

Can we just… be real for a second? Being a working mom is not all Pinterest-perfect playrooms and cute desk setups with iced lattes. It's beautiful, difficult, and most days it's both at the exact same time. This episode is me taking off the "highlight reel" and talking about what it really feels like to be a mom who's running a business while also trying to raise tiny humans…the hardship, the joy, the super messy middle, and everything in between. I pray this blesses you today… ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCE ↓   Your First Game-Changing Hire | A Free Masterclass Series   —> Learn how to attract, hire, and retain A-player employees so that you can grow your business and get things off of your plate   Get it here: https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training   ______________________________________________________ FOLLOW ALONG ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT US ↓   Every week, Amanda brings you actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!   Catch us on Instagram hirewithamanda - we'd love to chat with you about your dream business.   Connecting with business leaders is a huge passion for us and we can't wait to meet you!   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

THIS EPISODE ↓ Most CEOs spend their month buried in tasks, when what really moves the needle are the conversations they're having (or not having) with their team. In this episode, I'm breaking down the four simple but powerful conversations you should be having every month to keep your team aligned, motivated, and moving the business forward!

In this episode, I'm sharing the exact question I asked my team that unlocked new ideas, better systems, and ultimately helped me cross the six-figure mark!

THIS EPISODE ↓ Bringing on a new hire is exciting… but without the right onboarding process it can turn into a total mess real fast. Confusion, dropped balls, awkward silence, and a whole lot of "what am I supposed to be doing?" In this episode, I'm giving you my exact onboarding template and it's the same one I've used (and taught!) to help new hires feel clear, confident, and ready to crush it from day one. This isn't just about handing over a welcome packet. It's about setting the tone for ownership, excellence, and a thriving team culture from the very start.

THIS EPISODE ↓   If you've ever found yourself hovering, over-explaining, or redoing tasks after you've delegated them… this episode is about to be your new favorite! I'm breaking down the 10-80-10 Method which is a simple but powerful framework that shows you exactly how to delegate without micromanaging, while still keeping your standards high. This is the key to actually letting go (without everything falling apart), building trust with your team, and finally stepping into the real CEO role.

THIS EPISODE ↓   Imagine disappearing for a week..no Slack, no emails, no "quick questions"… and your business doesn't just survive, but it thrives. Sounds dreamy, right? But for so many business owners, the opposite is true. The second they step away, everything crashes. If that's you, this episode is your wake-up call (and your roadmap). I'm diving into why your business might still be too dependent on you, and exactly what to do to change that. Because true freedom is found in building a team and systems that keep things moving without you.

THIS EPISODE ↓   A strong team culture isn't just about pizza parties and motivational quotes on the wall. It's about creating an environment where people actually love showing up, take ownership of their work, and genuinely care about the mission. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on how to build a culture that fuels both joy and productivity. One where your team thrives, communication flows, and everyone is moving in the same direction with purpose and momentum.

THIS EPISODE ↓ It's exhausting when every tiny issue, question, or roadblock somehow ends up back on your desk. You're in the middle of planning your next launch, and suddenly someone's asking where a file is. You're trying to rest on a Sunday, and you get a Slack message about an email subject line. You've built a team to support you… but somehow, you still feel like the catch-all for everything. That's not how it's supposed to be. There's a smarter way to lead and it starts with the CEO Escalation Rule. This is one of my favorite systems to teach because it creates real boundaries, builds team confidence, and puts decision-making power back where it belongs (hint: not always with you).

THIS EPISODE ↓ Most interview questions are too surface-level to uncover the things that actually matter, like how someone thinks, leads, solves problems, or handles pressure. That's why I'm sharing the 10 best questions I've ever used (and taught!) These are the ones that actually work. They are unique, powerful, and designed to go beyond the typical "tell me about yourself" fluff so you can hire smarter, faster, and with more confidence. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCE ↓   Your First Game-Changing Hire | A Free Masterclass Series   —> Learn how to attract, hire, and retain A-player employees so that you can grow your business and get things off of your plate   Get it here: https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training   ______________________________________________________ FOLLOW ALONG ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT US ↓   Every week, Amanda brings the Pursuit community actionable, simple, and highly strategic episodes that are meant to help you simplify, streamline, systemize, and scale your dream business...without the burnout and stress!   Catch us on Instagram @‌pursuit.company - we'd love to chat with you about your dream business.   Connecting with business leaders is a huge passion for us and we can't wait to meet you!   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of the Pursuit community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

THIS EPISODE ↓ If you've ever felt like you're just faking it, waiting for someone to "find you out," or quietly wondering if you're really cut out for this… you're not alone. Imposter syndrome doesn't just show up for beginners and it sneaks in at every level of growth - it's simply a part of owning a business!
