Everyone loves to talk about the dream. The vision. The “someday.” But today, I’m talking about the doing. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it actually took to build The Business Hyve -- mentally, emotionally, and logistically. From finding the faith to leave corporate, to navigating the fear, building with no audience, staying consistent when no one was watching, and learning to give myself grace when things didn’t go as planned.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to build something from scratch in an industry full of noise, this episode is for you. It’s not a blueprint. It’s not a pitch. It’s a real conversation about the internal work behind launching something meaningful.

Thinking of launching a community? Before you get buried in tech tools and templated advice, listen to this. In this episode of The Business Hyve Podcast, I’m sharing the exact checklist I created while building The Business Hyve, a space designed for business owners who want real support, real answers, and a strategy-first approach to growth. I’ll walk you through what actually matters when building a community that works, why I built The Business Hyve in the first place, and how you can apply the same lessons to your own business. This isn’t about hype or hustle. It’s about clarity, value, and building something that lasts.

In this episode of The Business Hyve Podcast, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing why I decided to build The Business Hyve in public -- flaws, pivots, messiness, and all.

From documenting every step of the launch on YouTube to unpacking the highs and lows of creating something from scratch, this episode walks through five honest reasons I'm letting you watch me figure it out in real time.

Whether you're just starting your business, rebuilding after a tough season, or simply tired of the perfectly polished success stories, this one’s for you.

I’m talking transparency, strategy, and the truth behind what it really takes to build something meaningful from the ground up. The Business Hyve officially launches August 13, and the waitlist is open now.

In this episode of The Business Hyve Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on something that’s been bothering me for a while: the rise of so-called “experts” flooding our feeds with recycled advice, charging premium prices, and leaving small business owners frustrated when the results don’t show up. I share why I’m done with expert culture, how I’ve personally been burned, and what I think small businesses actually need to grow sustainably.

You’ll learn the five questions I use to qualify whether someone is truly worth listening to, especially on social media. We’ll also talk about the flood of AI “experts,” what to watch out for, and how to protect your time, money, and trust from people who haven't earned it.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by the noise online, this episode is your reality check.

In this episode of The Business Hyve Podcast, I’m sharing the real story behind why I walked away from a decades-long career in corporate digital strategy and what I’ve learned about starting over from scratch. From my early love of the web back in high school to working in digital before “digital” was even a term, I take you through the journey that led me to finally leave the 9-to-5 grind in late 2024.

You’ll hear about the behind-the-scenes frustrations that built up over years in corporate, the moment I decided enough was enough, and the honest lessons I’ve learned since stepping out on my own. I’m breaking down five critical truths that every aspiring entrepreneur needs to hear, whether you’re thinking about quitting your job or already in the thick of building something new.

Bad personal branding advice is everywhere, and if you’ve been following some of the most common myths, you might be unintentionally holding your business back. In this episode of The Business Hyve Podcast, I’m breaking down the worst personal branding advice I’ve ever heard, like why “just be yourself” isn’t enough, why posting every day won’t grow your brand, and why appealing to everyone is actually hurting your reach. If you’re ready to ditch the generic advice and build a brand that attracts the right people, this episode is for you.
