In this episode of The Pursuit of Badasserie, we’re unpacking one of the most overused, and misunderstood phrases in entrepreneurship: “finish strong.”

Here’s the truth: most people hear “finish strong” and immediately think “hustle harder.” They push, sprint, overcommit, and end up crawling into the new year completely drained. But that’s not strength. That’s burnout.

We’re breaking down what it really means to finish strong, and how to start fresh in a way that builds momentum instead of more pressure. It’s not about doing more; it’s about finishing intentionally. It’s about wrapping up what matters, letting go of what doesn’t, and setting yourself up so that next year feels easier, lighter, and more focused.

We’ll walk you through how to audit your year (ruthlessly but kindly), and figure out what actually deserves to come with you into 2026. We’re sharing how we learned that growth doesn’t always mean adding more, and why simplifying, systemizing, and creating space often lead to the biggest breakthroughs.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to “push through” but your gut is begging you to slow down and get strategic, this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways:

• Finishing strong doesn’t mean doing more. It means finishing intentionally and closing loops with purpose.

• Audit your year with honesty. Ask yourself, “Would I do this again?” If not — it doesn’t belong in your next plan.

• Systemize your wins now. Capture what worked while it’s fresh so you’re not rebuilding from scratch in January.

• Protect your energy. You don’t have to finish tired to finish strong.

• Start fresh — don’t start over. The magic is in momentum, not reinvention.

In this episode of The Pursuit of Badasserie, we’re getting real about Black Friday, and what it actually teaches us about business, buyer psychology, and how entrepreneurs show up when the pressure’s on.

Every November, the internet goes a little wild. Everyone’s shouting, inboxes are full, and small business owners everywhere are asking themselves, “What should I do for Black Friday?” And too often, the answer is… panic. Throw something together. Offer a big discount. Hope for the best.

But here’s the truth: you don’t have to play that game.You can choose to lead it instead.

In this episode, we talk about why most small business owners react to Black Friday instead of strategizing for it, and how to flip that script. We’ll show you how to think differently about your offers, your pricing, and your customer relationships so you’re not just chasing sales for one weekend, but building momentum that lasts all year.

We’re sharing real-world examples, mindset shifts, and strategies that help you stay profitable, confident, and calm… even when everyone else is losing their minds.

If you’ve ever felt pressured to “do something” for Black Friday just because everyone else is, this conversation will help you step back, breathe, and make smarter, more intentional moves.

• Stop reacting. Start leading. Learn how to turn panic marketing into a clear, strategic plan.

• You don’t need to compete with Amazon. You just need to understand your customers better.

• Discounts don’t build loyalty. Value does.

• Black Friday can feed your pipeline — not just your stress levels. Use it to build long-term connections and recurring revenue.

• Protect your energy. Plan your promos early so you can actually enjoy your Thanksgiving weekend.

We’re in the middle of one of the biggest business opportunities of our lifetime, and most entrepreneurs are sleeping on it. The “Silver Tsunami” is here—millions of Baby Boomer–owned businesses are hitting the market as their owners retire.

In this episode of The Pursuit of Badasserie: The Podcast, we dig into why buying an existing business may be the smartest, fastest way to build wealth and stability. Instead of starting from scratch, you can step into a business with established revenue, employees, and community goodwill—then modernize, grow, and take it further.

We cover:

• Why the wave of Boomer-owned businesses for sale is a golden opportunity

• Creative financing options (yes, you can buy without draining your bank account)

• What to look for in due diligence so you don’t buy a mess

• How to leverage reputation, culture, and legacy for long-term success

• Why boring businesses might just be your best bet for explosive ROI

You don’t need to be “passionate” about dry cleaning, auto repair, or textile manufacturing to make them work. You just need to recognize the opportunity, seize it, and play it smart.

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to diversify, expand, or step into entrepreneurship—this is it. The Silver Tsunami is here. The only question is: are you going to ride the wave or let it pass you by?

In this episode of The Pursuit of Badasserie: The Podcast, we’re diving into the game-changer that too many entrepreneurs overlook—recurring revenue.

Here’s the truth: unpredictable cash flow kills businesses. Recurring revenue creates stability, scalability, and the freedom to plan for growth instead of scrambling for the next sale. Whether it’s subscriptions, memberships, retainers, or creative add-ons, there’s a way for every business to build recurring income streams.

We share personal stories from running service-based companies, coaching practices, and even security and fitness businesses—showing you just how powerful recurring revenue can be when it’s done right. You’ll learn:

• Why recurring revenue is the backbone of consistent cash flow.

• The psychology behind subscriptions (and why customers stay—even when they shouldn’t).

• How recurring models increase lifetime customer value and even boost your business valuation.

• Smart ways to audit your offers and add recurring streams without creating more work.

• The dos and don’ts of pricing so you don’t sabotage your own profitability.
  

This isn’t about copying Netflix or Amazon. It’s about taking control of your business model and creating stability that frees you up to take risks, innovate, and scale.

If you don’t already have recurring revenue built in—or if you know it’s time to level yours up—this episode will push you to rethink the way you structure your business.

Now we want to hear from you: Do you already have recurring revenue in place? Where can you add it? Share your takeaways with us in the comments or DM—we love hearing how you’re building your badass business.
