Your unique selling proposition isn’t a complex formula—it’s something you uncover, especially when you’re launching a business for impact.

We’ve all been told we need a unique selling proposition — but Marketing 101 is all about the how and not the heart. This episode changes that.

This conversation is about what a unique selling proposition actually looks like in real life, especially when you’re launching a haircare business (or any business.)

Not the polished version.
The lived, messy, human version.

It’s about the reality a lot of early-stage founders don’t hear enough:

If you’re struggling to “stand out,” feel weird about marketing yourself, or keep thinking your story isn’t strategic enough… the problem isn’t your idea.

It’s that you’ve been taught to look outside yourself for your competitive advantage.

In this podcast interview, I’m joined by Nadia Hussain — a professional hairstylist and makeup artist and the founder of Hair Loving — who built her business around lived experience and underserved women. Her journey launching a haircare business didn’t start with branding or market trends, but with real people and real gaps in her industry.

This episode is for small business owners who:

• Are trying to define their unique selling proposition
• Feel overwhelmed by Marketing 101 advice that's cookie-cutter
• Are launching a product-based business and want answers

Nadia shares what it actually takes to build a brand over time — including figuring out mentorship, competition and the emotional reality of being a founder — while staying grounded in who you are and who you’re here to serve.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand why your story isn’t separate from your strategy — and how owning it can make your marketing more powerful.

Inside this conversation:

• What a strong unique selling proposition really comes from
• Marketing 101 lessons you only learn by launching a haircare business
• How to stand out without copying competitors or chasing trends

If you feel overworked BUT working with other people in your business also feels stressful — clients, freelancers, VAs, etc. — this episode will explain why.

This conversation is about leadership skills for entrepreneurs, especially the leadership no one teaches you when you start a business:

• how you communicate under stress
• how you handle conflict
• how your own patterns (and baggage) shape your business
  
  

It’s about this messy truth most entrepreneurs hide from:

If managing people drains your energy, costs you time, or keeps creating the same issues with different people… it’s not a “them” problem.

It’s a leadership one…

In this podcast interview, I’m joined by Jody Urquhart, a former stand-up comedian turned leadership and communication expert with over 25 years of experience. She brings lots of humor and honesty to how to be a leader — especially as a small business owner.

This episode is for small business owners and entrepreneurs who:

• Want to know how to manage others better
• Work with clients, VAs, freelancers, or contractors
• Feel drained by emails, hiring or where to even begin

Jody talks about why many entrepreneurs repeat the same team and client issues even as their business grows.

By the end of this episode, you’ll understand how to be a leader that people love working with (so you can grow faster and NOT burn out.)

Inside this conversation:

• Leadership skills every entrepreneur needs to grow
• How to manage a team (or freelancers) with less conflict
• How to be a leader who understands people instead of trying to control them

If you’ve ever said “I’m not expert enough” or “I’ll share when I’m more ready”—this is your visibility wake-up call.

In this solo episode, I’m sharing the invisible blocks that hold so many women back from owning their voice, showing up, and getting visible in a way that actually connects.

🎯 What You’ll Hear

• The Invisible Identity Trap that had me sitting on podcast ideas for five years
• Why your voice doesn’t need a PhD—just lived experience and courage to speak it
• The visibility dare I’m inviting you to take this week

I break down the blocks to being visible—from perfectionism to waiting for the “right moment”—and dare you to show up now.

🎧 Listen for visibility myths + real ways to reclaim your voice.
