Sometimes the bravest thing we can do as entrepreneurs is admit when something isn’t working — even when it looks perfect on paper.

This is the FINAL episode of The Business of Good.

I’m pulling back the curtain on one of the hardest lessons I've learned in my business journey - the pivot that didn’t land, the launch that fell flat, and the lessons that came from realizing that heart and strategy have to move in sync.

This isn’t an episode about failure — it’s an episode about truth. About the moment you stop forcing what no longer fits, and choose to start again from a place of alignment, not exhaustion.

If you’ve ever made a big, heartfelt decision that didn’t go the way you hoped, this one’s for you.

Thank you for walking beside me through this chapter — for listening, for sharing, and for believing in this show. The Business of Good is coming to an end, but something new is just around the corner.

Have you ever heard a story that completely shifted how you think about leadership and business?

That’s exactly what happened to me after this conversation.

In today’s episode, I’m talking with Scott Gates, the founder of Awake Window & Door Co. — a company that’s doing business in a way I’ve never seen before. They’re not just building luxury products; they’re building opportunity by hiring people who’ve been part of the justice system and giving them meaningful second chances.

What you’ll hear in this episode is more than a feel-good story. It’s a blueprint for what’s possible when leaders choose purpose over fear, people over profit, and humanity over hesitation.

We’ll talk about what happens when you lead differently, why redemption belongs in the workplace, and how giving someone a second chance might just change everything — for them and for you.

If you’re a purpose-driven entrepreneur or nonprofit leader, this is one of those episodes that stays with you. It’s powerful, it’s hopeful, and it just might redefine how you see leadership.

Learn more about their work by giving them a follow on the 'Gram.

You’re showing up, serving hard, and doing work that matters — but those yeses you’ve been working toward still feel out of reach. The truth? It’s not about doing more... it’s about following a simple, proven path that turns strangers into supporters with ease and integrity.

In this episode, I’m walking you through The Yes Path — my three-step framework that works whether you’re running a business or a nonprofit. Because every relationship that leads to a yes follows the same journey: Discover. Nurture. Ask.

Inside, you’ll learn how to...
✨ Be more strategic (and less scattered) about how people discover your work
✨ Build trust through experiences that deepen connection and loyalty
✨ Ask with clarity and confidence — so your invitations land naturally and powerfully

If you’ve been feeling invisible or like your message isn’t converting the way it should, this episode will help you simplify, refocus, and start seeing traction again — without the hustle or overcomplication.

And if you’re a nonprofit leader ready to put The Yes Path into practice, join me inside my free Donor Magnet Bootcamp, where I’m teaching how to attract your first — or next — 100 online donors using modern marketing that actually works.

Tune in, take notes, and get ready to turn awareness into action — one yes at a time!
