Fearless and Focused Podcast

On this episode of Fearless and Focused, Brooke and Casey welcome Kendall Sandifer, co-owner of Fringe Clothing and founder of Jackpot Jewelry, for a fast-moving conversation about entrepreneurship, fashion, family, and figuring it out as you go. Kendall shares how her background in graphic design and a role in Dillard's corporate advertising helped show her exactly what she did not want, pushing her to take a leap into retail and open Fringe despite having no previous retail experience. Kendall talks about building the business alongside her husband Blake, starting with a 700-square-foot boutique in downtown Little Rock that quickly found success. She also reflects on one of the biggest turning points for Fringe during COVID, when the store had to shut its doors and pivot online. That move not only helped the business survive, but set the stage for even bigger growth. Brooke and Casey also talk with Kendall about relaunching her jewelry line as Jackpot Jewelry, which has quickly grown to around 200 pieces since launching on Valentine's Day and is already seeing success both in-store and through wholesale placement. Kendall opens up about working with her husband, balancing entrepreneurship and motherhood, rethinking the pressure to keep expanding, and why passion still drives everything she does. It's a lively and inspiring episode full of real business lessons, style insight, and honest conversation.

In this social media edition of Fearless and Focused, Casey and Brooke break down the fast-moving changes happening across today's platforms and what business owners/agents need to pay attention to right now. One of the biggest takeaways from this episode is how Facebook continues to evolve, feeling more and more like Instagram, which means users need to adjust how they create content and connect with their audience. Casey and Brooke also talk about how content creation is becoming much more approachable thanks to newer, user-friendly tools. They highlight Meta's Edits app as one example of a tool that can help simplify the process with features like captions and teleprompter support, making it easier for people to create polished videos without needing expensive software or a full production setup. The conversation also focuses on practical gear recommendations for anyone who wants to improve their content without overspending. Casey and Brooke share that in many cases, all you really need is a phone, a tripod, a ring light, a small microphone, and even a simple car mount to start creating content consistently. Their message is clear: you do not need fancy equipment to show up well online, but you do need a plan. Another major theme in the episode is strategy. Casey and Brooke explain that content only works when it has purpose. That means strong hooks that grab attention, clear messaging that keeps people engaged, and calls to action that tell viewers exactly what to do next.  They also share details about their upcoming Let's Get Social Workshop, a four-day training designed for business owners, salespeople, and insurance agents who want to improve their online presence and create more intentional content. The workshop takes place on March 31, April 2, April 7, and April 9 and covers everything from account setup and settings to messaging strategy, filming, batching, repurposing content, and generating leads through calls to action. They also touch on optional ad campaigns and retargeting, giving attendees practical tools they can start using right away. Replays are included, along with 90-day access to their training library. This episode is packed with useful advice for anyone feeling overwhelmed by social media changes or unsure where to start. Casey and Brooke make it clear that success online is not about perfection. It is about having the right tools, a simple system, and a strategy that helps turn content into connection and connection into business.

Self-love isn't always bubble baths and spa days. In this episode of Fearless & Focused, Brooke and Casey get real about what self-love and self-care actually look like for high-achieving women with full calendars, big goals, and a lot of people depending on them. They break down practical ways to care for yourself without adding "one more thing" to your to-do list—starting with protecting your time and energy, setting clear boundaries, and changing the way you speak to yourself. You'll also hear why the joy of missing out (JOMO) might be the healthiest mindset shift you make this month. The conversation includes simple strategies like habit stacking (building self-care into what you already do), turning the five love languages inward, and giving yourself permission to ask for help...without guilt. Plus, Casey shares a few personal updates: her new winter location in Arizona, and some big wins from the past year... launching a podcast, hosting a successful summit, and writing a book.  If you've been craving a version of self-love that feels grounded, doable, and honest this one's for you. Listen to EP 35 now! Happy Birthday to Casey!

After an ATV accident in 2012 left Sarah paralyzed from the waist down, she made a decision many people never even consider: she wasn't going to shrink—she was going to rise! Sarah shares the powerful story behind creating her iconic brand, Vertical Blonde, and how she reclaimed her sense of glamour, confidence, and femininity while navigating disability. This conversation goes deeper than motivation... it's about internal reflection, staying consistent, and choosing to embody the fullest version of yourself even when the world expects you to settle for less. Sarah also opens up about the realities of stepping into corporate speaking, the pressure to "fit the mold," and how she's learned to stay true to her bold, unapologetic presence. This episode is a reminder that living fearlessly isn't loud...it's intentional. It's listening to yourself, taking aligned action, and showing up as who you are, not who you think you're supposed to be. In this episode, you'll hear: Sarah's story after her 2012 ATV accident and the identity shift that followed How "Vertical Blonde" was born—and why creating your own identity matters Reclaiming femininity, confidence, and glamour through disability The role of consistency, inner work, and embodiment in real transformation Breaking into corporate speaking without dimming your personality What it means to live fearlessly: listen inward, then act with intention Listen now and take away a fresh perspective on confidence, identity, and showing up fully... no matter what you've been through!   

The final episode of 2025 closes the Leveling Up Your Business in 2026 series with one powerful theme: alignment. This conversation explores how to set goals that match the life and business you want, not the ones that drain your energy, break your systems, or pull you out of sync. Brooke and Casey walk through an alignment audit designed for women entrepreneurs who want clarity, momentum, and a stronger foundation heading into 2026. Key elements of the 2026 Alignment Audit: • Does your calendar match your goals?• Do your habits match your goals?• Does your team match your goals?• Does your leadership match your goals?• Does your marketing match your goals?• Does your energy match your goals? This episode brings real talk about overwhelm, goal-setting fatigue, the visionary mindset, the need for delegation, and the importance of aligning actions with intentions. It's a grounded, honest look at what it takes to stay focused, structured, and supported as you grow. If 2025 stretched you, changed you, or revealed gaps in your systems, this conversation helps you step into 2026 with clarity and confidence.

Hiring in 2026 is not the same as hiring in 2018. Top candidates are on the market for days, not weeks. They want flexibility, purpose and a clear culture.

This first part of the 4-part "Leveling Up Your Business in 2026" series breaks down what modern hiring should look like. It covers how to create clarity around the role, how to pre-screen before the interview using personality and intake questions, why referrals are still gold, how to use Facebook and LinkedIn groups with intention, and why a 30/60/90 onboarding with consequences protects culture. Key ideas inside: Hire fast, not in a hurry Define success for the role before you post it Use referrals, private groups and daily life to find people Interview before the interview with quick assessments Train for skill, hire for attitude Set expectations and consequences in the first 90 days Open the door to remote talent to widen the pool Get ready for part 2 with a recruiter who specializes in insurance and remote teams This series is built for owners who are done with interview paralysis and empty seats and want a sharper, faster system going into 2026.
