The Pursuit of Badasserie: The Podcast

We didn’t expect to find inspiration for our own businesses while walking the showroom floor of a major fintech conference… but that’s exactly what happened. In this episode, we take you inside our experience at Money 20/20—one of the biggest events in the financial technology world—and share the unexpected lessons we walked away with. Spoiler: these lessons apply far beyond fintech. From bold branding to experiential marketing, from seamless customer journeys to big vision leadership, we found ideas that can easily translate to any business looking to grow, stand out, and make more impact. We’re talking about: ● What fintech startups are doing right (that small biz owners can totally steal) ● How the vibe of your brand matters more than you think ● The importance of making the customer experience feel something ● Why taking up space—literally and figuratively—is part of the growth game ● Our favorite "why didn’t we think of that?!" moments Whether you’re in tech, health and wellness, creative industries, or something else entirely—this one’s full of practical takeaways and juicy perspective shifts.

Let’s get one thing straight:Your business isn’t just built on strategy. It’s built on your capacity to execute that strategy consistently.And your nervous system? It’s at the center of all of it.In this episode, we’re unpacking the real conversation behind hustle culture, burnout, and the rise of “rest more” messaging—and what actually matters if you want a sustainable, profitable business.Because this isn’t about choosing between grinding yourself into the ground or stepping away completely.It’s about building a business that works with you, not against you.We’re diving into:The truth about hustle culture (and why it’s been misunderstood)How a dysregulated nervous system shows up in your business (and your revenue)The hidden patterns behind avoidance, overworking, and inconsistencyWhy your income often mirrors your internal stateWhat high performance actually looks like (hint: it’s not constant intensity)How to build systems that support you—even when your energy is lowThe difference between rest and avoidance (and why that matters more than you think)We also share real client examples of what happens when you shift from chaos and reactivity into structure and support—and how that alone can transform your results.Because here’s the truth most people don’t talk about:If your business only works when you feel good, you don’t have a business—you have a dependency.And if your business collapses the moment life gets hard? That’s not a capacity issue. That’s a systems issue.We’re not here for soft businesses with no structure. And we’re definitely not here for burnout as a badge of honor.We’re here for sustainable power.Your challenge: When was the last time you actually rested—and did your business support you while you did?If you’re ready to build a business that actually supports you (not drains you):Join us inside the Badass Amplifier.

You didn’t start your business to become the most overworked, underpaid employee in it.And yet… here we are.In this episode, we’re calling it out directly: if your business still depends on you for everything, you’re not operating in CEO mode—you’re stuck in employee mode with a fancier title.We see it all the time. Founders who are busy all day, calendars packed, tasks checked off… but still feeling behind, capped, and exhausted. That’s not a capacity problem. That’s a leadership problem.We’re breaking down the real difference between CEO mode and employee mode—and why this shift is the one that changes everything.Because employee mode is reactive. CEO mode is intentional.Employee mode asks: “What do I need to get done today?” CEO mode asks: “What actually moves this business forward?”Inside this episode, we cover:The subtle (but costly) signs you’re still operating in employee modeWhy being “busy” is often just disguised avoidanceThe mindset shift required to step into true CEO leadershipHow control, fear, and lack of clarity keep you stuck doing everything yourselfWhat CEO mode actually looks like in action (hint: it’s not just “thinking big”)Why your current clients might be a reflection of your leadership levelHow to start prioritizing, delegating, and building systems that scale without youWe’re also getting honest about something most people won’t say: You can make good money in employee mode… and still be completely trapped by your business.This isn’t about working less for the sake of it. It’s about working on the right things so your time, income, and impact can actually grow.Because the moment you fully step into CEO mode? You stop being the bottleneck—and start becoming the driver.Your challenge: Where are you operating from right now—and what’s one shift you can make today to start leading like a CEO?Ready to actually make that shift (not just think about it)?Join us inside the Badass Amplifier. This is where we take everything we talk about on this podcast and apply it directly to your business—in real time, with real strategy, real feedback, and real accountability. If you’re done spinning in employee mode and ready to lead like a CEO, this is your next move.Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube or Spotify and leave us a review!Like the show?
