The Rebellious Business Show

If business already feels chaotic, the last thing you need is the internet (and the world) pretending things are “fine” when they’re clearly… not.In the first Rebellious Business Show of 2026, we covered three things that every rebel entrepreneur will recognise and probably want to scream about. In a friendly way. Mostly. 😅📌 Topic #1: The “13-Cent Breakthrough” (and what content actually gets attention)Turns out a totally random story (yes, a pregnancy + driving test moment) brought in the biggest bar tab spike we’ve seen. We’re unpacking what that means for content, visibility, and why “polished” isn’t always what performs. 💸📌 Topic #2: Shrinkflation = size gaslightingChocolate bars getting smaller. Crisps shrinking. Prices going up anyway. We’re calling out the sneaky “make it smaller and hope no one notices” nonsense because rebels do notice. 🍫😤📌 Topic #3: When “kindness content” feels… ickyWe talked about the line between sharing real life vs. filming intimate moments (or staged good deeds) for clicks and why it can feel less like care and more like performance. 🎥🚫✨ Got a Question?

If your business brain won’t switch off for Christmas, welcome to the club. 🎄😅This Christmas Special is a proper behind-the-scenes vibe: two business partners, a live audience, and a ChatGPT “agent” attempting to pick hypothetical Christmas presents with mixed results (and absolutely zero chill).Expect festive chaos, laugh-out-loud stories, and a little year-end wrap-up of what’s still happening inside the Rebel universe.📌 Topic #1: The ChatGPT Christmas Present Experiment (Swipe Left / Swipe Right edition).We fed ChatGPT a prompt, tested the gift ideas live, and rated what we’d actually keep vs. bin (Freudian slippers, a Leo necklace, a “go away” mug and yes, a perpetual disappointment diary).📌 Topic #2: The unexpected chaos that always shows up when we go off-script.From app mix-ups (Bumble BFF vs dating 😭) to peak-hour sauna survival stories (sparkling water was a bad choice), it’s festive, unfiltered, and painfully relatable.📌 Topic #3: End-of-year Rebel updates (and what’s still running over the holidays).A quick wrap on what’s happening next, including community lives, networking, and why the Marketing Strategy Show is still rolling because we’re apparently incapable of resting. 😉✨ Got a Question?

If you’re exhausted from doing all the things and still not getting consistent clients… this episode is the reality check your business has been begging for. 😅We’re calling out the fake lifestyle marketing, the manipulative “copy tricks”, and the industry theatre that makes smart entrepreneurs doubt themselves, then showing you what actually moves the needle.📌 Topic #1: The “Fake Expert” Epidemic (and why it’s killing your confidence)We unpack why glittery promises, bloated “value stacks,” and “buy my lifestyle” marketing are basically glitter on a 💩 and what to focus on instead: real value, real results, real relationships.📌 Topic #2: Red Carpets, Rented Lambos & the theatre of online businessWe get into the performance culture (and why it still converts), the consumerism trap, and how to stop getting played by shiny tactics that look impressive but don’t build stability.📌 Topic #3: The Networking Level-Up (consistent clients without feeling salesy)We share what actually turns warm connections into reliable, predictable client momentum, plus details on our invite-only webinar beta happening today.✨ Got a Question?

If your brand feels a bit “WTF are we doing?”, your Facebook profile still says you’re a bartender from 2012, and AI both intrigues and terrifies you, this one’s for you.In this episode of The Rebellious Business Show, Cordelia and Caroline go full behind-the-scenes on what it actually looks like to evolve a brand in public, pick one platform instead of trying to be everywhere, and let AI help you instead of overwhelm you. It’s messy, honest, slightly chaotic (as always) and very, very useful.📌 Topic #1: What Is This Show Even For? Redefining the Rebellious Business ShowWe get brutally honest about trying to make one show do all the things and realising that doesn’t work. Caroline talks about NAC’s relaunch, Cordelia shares the birth of her new live show and community (hello, The Marketing Strategy Show), and together they unpack how to separate the Rebellious Business brand from their personal brands. It’s the messy middle of figuring out: What is this show for? Why do people tune in? And how do we stay fun, human, and actually helpful?📌 Topic #2: Facebook Glow-Ups, Personal Brand Clean-Up, and Picking One PlatformFrom “bartender in Canterbury” and “University of Stupid” to credible, authority-building profiles, we go deep into why one platform is enough when you take it seriously. Cordelia and Caroline talk about doubling down on Facebook, turning your personal profile into a funnel, and why showing up as you (not a beige LinkedIn robot) is the real growth strategy. We also touch on sobriety, teen drinking culture vs TikTok, and the very real tension between being a whole human and being “on-brand.”📌 Topic #3: NotebookLM, Gamma, Agents & Co, The AI Stack We’re Actually UsingThis is where it gets juicy for the systems nerds. We walk through how we’re using:NotebookLM to turn past content (podcasts, docs, YouTube, lives) into outlines, SOPs, and even a fake podcast that pitches NAB-A-CLIENT back to us.Gamma to create on-brand slide decks with almost insulting levels of ease.Zapier’s AI chatbot + ChatGPT Agent Mode to build workflows, write webinar pitches, and yes… even do Christmas shopping based on a spoken brief.It’s not “AI will replace you” it’s “AI can finally do the boring bits so you can focus on the human stuff.”✨ Got a Question?

If you’re tired of throwing content at the internet, getting paid in literal cents, and wondering how the hell you’re supposed to grow and rest without everything collapsing… this episode is basically group therapy for your business brain. 😅Cordelia and Caroline pull back the curtain on Facebook monetisation, tiny audiences, real client-getting strategies, and how to build something that doesn’t fall apart the second life happens.📌 Topic #1: The “Bar Tab” Facebook Monetisation, 3¢ Weeks & What the Numbers REALLY MeanThe rebels reveal exactly what they’re earning from Facebook’s content monetisation (spoiler: we’re in copper coin territory, not private island money).They walk through:Why percentages like “up 200000%” and “down 150000%” are absolutely unhinged without context.How the show is finally showing up in Facebook’s top content metrics.The idea of turning this “bar tab” income into something meaningful – like funding charity projects, cataract ops, or entrepreneurship programmes for women around the world, instead of just buying themselves a drink.It’s part money-nerd, part heart-led plotting, and very, very on-brand rebellious.📌 Topic #2: Tiny Audience, Big Results The NAVA Client Challenge, Black Friday Revolt & Twixmas Mop-UpThen we get into the stuff that actually makes you money.The rebels break down how to turn a small but mighty audience into real clients using the NAVA Client Challenge membership and its plug-and-play strategies:The Anti–Discovery Call Challenge that helped one client accidentally book 30 calls and birth a group programme.The Black Friday Revolt, a no-discount, anti–race-to-the-bottom promo one client implemented in a day and turned into £7k cash.The upcoming Twixmas Mop-Up strategy: using that quiet “between Christmas and New Year” window to sweep up low-hanging fruit and start the year with cash in the bank.All using simple, organic tactics, no fancy funnels, no big ad spend, just clear offers, focused promotions and repeatable client-getting engines.📌 Topic #3: Hank the Question Bank, Selling Without Being a Goblin & Keeping the Business Alive When You Can’tEnter Hank the Question Bank, the show’s AI troublemaker built on Base 44, spitting out wildcard questions live.Hank prompts a juicy chat on:How to turn warm, chatty community members into paying clients without doing a hard swerve into “Selling Town”.Why covert, manipulative, “twist-the-knife” tactics are out – and transparent, bespoke offers are in.The reality of burnout, maternity leave, illness and “life happening” and what actually keeps a business ticking over when you can’t be front and centre.Think recurring revenue, customer-support-first team roles, and offers that don’t rely solely on you white-knuckling your way through every week.It’s rebellious, honest, a bit chaotic, and weirdly grounding.✨ Got a Question?

If you’re exhausted from shouting into the social media void, secretly burnt out from “showing up” everywhere, and still wondering why your content isn’t turning into clients or cash… this one’s your wake-up call. 💌Cordelia and Caroline are diving into the real levers that move your business: smarter visibility, simpler selling, and using data (and a bit of AI chaos) to actually support your energy instead of draining it.📌 Topic #1: Why Your Email List Will Outperform Social Media Every. Single. Time.We talk about Kennedy from Email Marketing Heroes and the 1:00 PM webinar where he’s breaking down how he turned his email newsletter into an automated sales machine (yep, from £27k to over £541k on one product).Cordelia rants (lovingly) about why she wants to shake anyone who’s relying only on social media, and Caroline drops the best analogy:Social media = a tatty flyer on a community noticeboard.Email = a message in the letterbox of someone who actually asked for it.We cover open rates vs reach, segmentation, why email visibility is 5–50x more powerful, and how you can finally stop gambling your business on the algorithm.📌 Topic #2: The “Bar Tab” Turning Facebook Pennies into Real-World ImpactThe Rebellious Business Show is now officially earning from Facebook’s content monetisation (not just stars) and the show itself is appearing in their top content metrics for the first time. 🎉Cue: the Bar Tab.Cordelia and Caroline pull back the curtain on:How much the show has actually made so far (spoiler: we’re not buying a yacht).Why percentages can be hilariously misleading (“up 200000%”… and then “down 150000%”).The idea of turning this “small but growing” pot into something bigger than a round of drinks like funding charity projects, cataract surgeries, or helping women around the world gain skills to start their own businesses.It’s part metrics nerd-out, part heart-led brainstorm about using content money to do something that actually matters.📌 Topic #3: Hank the Question Bank, Burnout, and Showing Up as a Human (Not a Robot)Meet Hank the Question Bank, the show’s new AI helper that spits out wildcard questions live on air.We test-drive Hank, talk about how to:Turn warm, chatty community members into clients without doing a sleazy sales ambush.Make bespoke offers that actually fit people, rather than forcing everyone through the same funnel.Handle burnout honestly (sometimes the most rebellious move is, go have a nap, not another “visibility sprint”).Along the way, there’s real talk about nicknames, live-video imperfection, trolling, “digital stoning”, and why we refuse to pretend this online business thing is polished or perfect. It’s messy, human, and very, very Rebellious.✨ Got a Question? A Dilemma?

Solo ride with Cordelia today, no Caroline, no safety net, just the good stuff. We peeked behind the curtain of our monetization experiments (hello, Rebel’s Bar Tab 🍹), stress-tested a brand-new AI-powered blog machine that writes and ships posts on autopilot, and unleashed Hank the Question Bank to grill us on the real gap between visibility and sales. Expect practical, non-sleazy, do-this-now advice (plus a few laughs).📌 Topic #1: The Rebel’s Bar Tab (Content → Coins) How our weekly show, posts, and even a cover photo earned actual pennies and why we may funnel it to charity. Meta takeaways: what Facebook is rewarding right now, why “small signals” still matter, and how to track tiny wins without losing the plot.📌 Topic #2: Behind the Scenes, The AI Blog Build Cordelia’s automation stack (keyword research → outlines → full posts → images → WordPress publish) finally clicked. We talked SEO logic, affiliate angles, syndication next steps, and how to test fast before you go evergreen.📌 Topic #3: Hank’s Hot Seat, Connection > Content (and How to Convert It) Live > lurking: go live, answer real questions, and make a specific offer (think: Anti-Discovery Call) instead of “book a call.” We covered promo cadence, rotating conversion plays, and turning engaging audiences into paying clients without cringe tactics.✨ Got a Question?

Tired of discounting your worth and winging your marketing? This episode shows you how to revolt against the Black Friday race-to-the-bottom, build a monthly promo rhythm you can actually keep, and plug into a community that warms your audience before you ever make an offer. ⚡️🔥 What Went Down?📌 Topic #1: The Black Friday Revolt: Why slashing prices isn’t a strategy, and how to ride the seasonal buzz without cheapening your brand. (When they zig, we zag.)📌 Topic #2: Rhythm > Rigid Plans: Our pop-up strategy approach to monthly promotions: simple, repeatable, and designed to build momentum even if you don’t have ads or a giant list.📌 Topic #3: Community Over Audience: Turning your network into a warm, responsive crowd: real examples from inside the Rebellious Business Network, plus a women-in-business journaling circle that builds clarity (and friendships).✨ Got a Question?

If your marketing feels like plate-spinning while the algorithm throws tomatoes, you don’t need more hacks, you need connection, consistency, and a reality check on what actually converts. 🤹‍♀️🍅We get into the messy middle of running a real business online: showing up weekly (even when you’re not in the mood), weaving human connection into your funnel so sales stop feeling uphill, and calling BS on creator monetisation fairytales. It’s candid, useful, a bit chaotic and very us.📌 Topic #1 Connection Beats Automation:Why trying to scale by stripping out the human is killing your conversion rate, and how a connection-first funnel (community, conversations, presence) warms your audience and lifts sales without the bro tactics.📌 Topic #2 Consistency Without Burnout:The routine that keeps us marketing no matter what (hello, weekly live), plus SOPs and handing social to a VA so your output doesn’t die every time life gets loud.📌 Topic #3 Monetisation Reality Check (and TikTok & Faceless Content):We open the books on our Facebook payouts (lol/ouch), debate faceless content vs personal brand, and talk about when each actually works for service businesses.✨ Got a Question?

Think you’re shouting into the void? You’re not, you’re just measuring the wrong things. 🙃This week, we’re blowing up the myth that likes equal success and diving into what actually moves the needle when you’re building a rebellious online business.📌 Topic #1: Engagement Isn’t What You ThinkWe tackled the big one, why “no comments” doesn’t mean “no one’s watching.” From invisible engagement (clicks, watch time, DMs) to the real metrics that matter, we’re redefining what success looks like on social.📌 Topic #2: Going Live Without Losing Your MindWe spilled our behind-the-scenes strategy for The Rebellious Business Show, why consistency beats virality every time, how to get more people to show up, and why replay viewers might secretly be your best audience.📌 Topic #3: The Comparison Trap (and How to Opt Out)From six-figure coaches to online highlight reels, we went all in on the toxicity of “success theatre.” This one’s for the entrepreneurs tired of playing the numbers game and ready to play the long game instead.✨ Got a Question?

Feeling like you’re shouting into the void? Same. The algorithm isn’t broken, you’re measuring the wrong thing. This week we unpack why most of your audience will never comment (and why that’s not a problem), how a handful of “chatty” members can flip your community from quiet to alive, and the unsexy truth about turning content into cash.🔥 What Went Down?📌 Topic #1: The 1–9–90 Rule (Lurkers Are Your Quiet Buyers)Most people won’t like or comment and they still convert. We break down real engagement (watch time, DMs, link clicks), low-friction CTAs (hello, emoji drops), and why vanity metrics lie.📌 Topic #2: Community Over Competition (Create 10 Loud Voices)You don’t need hundreds of superfans, just a core crew who talk. We share how to spark conversation, model collaboration (not cloning), and build a culture that keeps people coming back.📌 Topic #3: Content → Cash (Receipts, Not Hype)From tiny Facebook payouts to challenge wins with wild ROI, why consistent, human content quietly fuels sales across your whole ecosystem (even when the comments are crickets).✨ Got a Question?

If posting your face feels cringe, discovery calls drain your soul, and the algorithm seems to pay in pocket lint—this one’s for you.We’re diving into the real stuff: how to get clients this month without contorting yourself into a personal brand you don’t recognise, where the line is between magnetic and narcissistic, and yes, how much Facebook actually paid us (spoiler: bring snacks).What Went Down?📌 Topic #1: The NABA Client Challenge, Now Monthly, Now JuicyWe’ve rebuilt it. A fresh, done-this-month client-getting recipe every time. This round? The Anti-Discovery Call Strategy. 5 focused hours. No fluff. Actual traction.📌 Topic #2: Main Character Energy (Without Becoming a Walking Selfie)We unpack the line between personal brand and narcissism. How to show up if you’re introverted, awkward, or allergic to performative online behaviour. Be magnetic without faking it.📌 Topic #3: Our Facebook Monetisation Experiment (A.K.A. The Penny Parade)We cracked open the dashboard live. What got paid (stories, stars 👀), what didn’t, and what we’re testing next. Reality over hype, always.✨ Got a Question? A Dilemma?

Tired of hustling harder with nothing to show but a messy to-do list and a mild identity crisis? Same. In this episode we cut the fluff and get practical: a client-getting strategy you can run in five hours, a creator monetization truth bomb (hello, $0.64), and a focus system your brain will actually use.🔥 What Went Down?📌 Topic #1: The Anti-Discovery Call Challenge (New NAVA Client Challenge Format)We unveil the revamped NAVA Client Challenge—now a fresh, five-hour client-getting play each month. First up: the Anti-Discovery Call Strategy (yep, replace awkward “pick your brain?” calls with a value-led conversion process that books real work). We also shared the new structure (monthly challenges), access tiers (challenge-only now available), and why this has been 21 months in the making.📌 Topic #2: Facebook Monetization—Stars, Stories & 64 Glorious CentsWe opened the bonnet (yes, we said bonnet) on our Facebook monetization test: stories, stars, and what actually pays (spoiler: sometimes your mate’s selfie earns more than your best post). Expect a candid, creator-friendly breakdown of what's worth your energy—and what’s not.📌 Topic #3: The Rebel Focus System—Success Day + Bullet Journal for Real HumansIf your brain resists structure, this is for you. We walked through our Success Day and Bullet Journal method—neurodivergent-friendly, overwhelm-reducing, and actually doable. Plus: weekly networking at 1 PM UK on Thursdays, shout-outs to rebel wins, and a popup workshop to tighten your offer before the challenge kicks off.✨ Got a Question? A Dilemma?

If you’re exhausted by “six-figure by Friday” fantasies and algorithms that feel like a black box, this one’s for you. We unpack the new Facebook monetisation changes (yes, stories are paying), give you a peek behind the scenes of our weekly networking experience, and put the BS on blast in a rapid-fire round on ethical marketing, launches, and why substance beats hype every time.🔥 What Went Down?📌 Facebook Monetisation Update: We walk through what’s new (stories, photos, and lives now earning), how we “made” 49p (lol), and what this means for creators and small businesses trying to play smart with content.📌 Networking, but Actually Useful: The Rebellious Business Networking event is weekly, it’s free, and we’re levelling it up. We’re also calling for ridiculous products for our Slogan Slam game—bring the weird and wonderful.📌 Rapid-Fire Marketing Truths: Caroline takes the hot seat—ethics over hype, why “passive income” is mostly storytime, substance before style, and the one copy tip she’ll die on a hill for.✨ Got a Question?

If your “get clients now” mindset is quietly killing your pipeline, this one’s for you.Most people stall because they’re focused on getting clients instead of building relationships that naturally convert. Add awkward networking and a sprinkle of “should I be doing more?” and you’ve got chaos. Let’s fix it.This week, we break down the biggest client-getting mistake we see (and what to do instead), how to turn networking into actual sales without being pushy, and some juicy Rebel news: live bookkeeping basics with Liz, free red-carpet tickets, and wins pouring in from the new Rebel Directory. 💥Because the truth? Clients are a byproduct of connection. Build the right circle, create value, follow up smart and let your offers mop up.📌 Topic #1: The #1 client-getting mistakeStop making it about “I need sales.” Start with connection. Build relationships, add value, get visible in the right circles, and let your offers do the mopping up. (Email + social = where the sales happen.)📌 Topic #2: Networking that actually convertsGo to make friends, not pounce. Add people to socials, follow up, use purposeful value-first calls (not vague coffee chats), and build three communities: peers, potential clients, and clients. Want speed? Use a Connection Funnel to warm people up fast.📌 Topic #3: Rebel news & wins– Live Expert Call: Bookkeeping basics with Liz Hilton (perfect if you’re under a year in or finally sorting your HMRC life)– Red Carpet Invite: A handful of free tickets to The Coaching Masters event this Saturday (DM Cordelia “I’m in”)– Rebel Directory + Hub Wins: Profiles, links, chat rooms, and a searchable member directory, already leading to hires, signups, and collabs✨ Got a Question?

Drowning in dead-end networking, chaotic socials, and already seeing Christmas in September? Same. That’s why this week we dropped something big, laughed at ourselves (a lot), and gave you a clear plan to sell by Dec 1, even if you start today.We’ve launched the Rebel Directory inside the Rebellious Business Hub (finally!) so you can be found, seen, and hired by the right people without shouting into the void. We also shared wins from rebels who launched their own events and started converting fast. And yes, we tackled the “is it too early for Christmas?” question with a real strategy you can actually use.📌 Topic #1: Rebel News — Hub + Directory LaunchWe revealed the Rebellious Business Hub and the brand-new Rebel Directory: searchable profiles, AI-powered common ground, link blocks for your lead magnets, and a simple way for rebels to actually find and hire you. It’s £5/month, and yes, it’s as good as it sounds.📌 Topic #2: Shoutouts, Wins & Wild Stories– John Drinkwater is buzzing, launched multiple live Zoom events and built serious momentum (LordZoom.com).– Matt Black launched The Network Shortcut (Mon lunch network), got sign-ups, engagement, and actual referrals from event one.– Plus: we unpacked an all-time classic Spill It story,“I accidentally employed 17 people”and laughed our way through tech hiccups and dating app chaos. You’re welcome.📌 Topic #3: Christmas Already?! Your Dec 1 PlanOur take: Not too early to plan. Too early to be cringey.Here’s the move: build a Connection Funnel now, run live events, warm your list, and stack conversations that convert. Then roll into Black Friday and Dec 1 with a warm audience and a simple, passive sales email sequence. No cold-pitch panic. No beige content.Start today, sell by Dec 1. Done.✨ Got a Question?
