Integrity is easy when everything’s going your way. But what about when money, ego, reputation, or opportunity tempt you to cut corners?

In this episode, we get real about integrity — what it really means in business, why it’s often faked in today’s social-media-driven culture, and how to stay grounded when the pressure is on.

Some highlights:

• The difference between short-term wins and long-term integrity

• Why performative integrity (a.k.a. “virtue signaling”) erodes trust

• How ego and success can quietly pull you off track

• The role of values, vision, and mission in keeping you aligned

• What to do when you slip out of integrity — and how to recover

• Why owning your decisions (even mistakes) builds credibility

• How integrity evolves with your stage of business and life
  

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about taking relentless responsibility, auditing your motives, and making decisions you’d stand by if the whole world found out.

Tune in for a candid conversation that will challenge how you define integrity — and how you show up in business and life.

We all do it — telling ourselves little lies that feel like reasons but are really excuses. “I’ll get to it tomorrow.” “I don’t want to sound too salesy.” “I don’t have the time.”

Sound familiar?

In this episode of The Pursuit of Badasserie: The Podcast, we dig into the excuses we tell ourselves (and others), how they show up as patterns, and why they quietly sabotage your business and life.

From subtle procrastination habits to full-on victim mentality, we explore:

• The fine line between a reason and an excuse (and how one can morph into the other).

• Why excuses often become ingrained patterns and part of your identity.

• Common lies entrepreneurs repeat — “I need to update my website again,” “Nobody’s buying right now,” “I’ll be more consistent once ___.”

• The role fear, imposter syndrome, and avoidance play in keeping you stuck.

• Why admitting you are the problem is actually the most empowering truth.

• How to take a critical eye to your own patterns and start rewriting the story you’ve been telling yourself.

This week’s challenge: Identify ONE excuse or lie you keep telling yourself. Call it out. Then take one small action to break that pattern.

Remember, the only person you’re lying to is yourself. And the good news? You’re also the solution.

The “laptop lifestyle” looks dreamy on Instagram—beaches, sunsets, and cocktails with Wi-Fi. But let’s get real: running your business while you travel takes discipline, planning, and a whole lot of flexibility.

In this episode of The Pursuit of Badasserie: The Podcast, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it actually takes to be a digital nomad. From missed flights to sketchy internet to time zone gymnastics, we’ll walk you through the real challenges and the strategies that make it possible to keep your business thriving on the road.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• The not-so-sexy truth about time zones, scheduling, and staying accountable

• Why infrastructure (hello, adapters and Wi-Fi backups) matters more than your destination

• How to balance client calls, deliverables, and still enjoy the journey

• The mindset shifts that make working from anywhere sustainable instead of stressful
  

Whether you’re dreaming of your first working trip or you’re already building your empire from Airbnbs and airport lounges, this episode gives you the reality check (and the blueprint) for making it work.

Because “freedom” doesn’t come from geography—it comes from systems, discipline, and daring to do business on your terms.

Let’s be real: if your business can’t run without you for a week (or even a few days), you don’t actually own a business—you own a job. And jobs don’t give you freedom, flexibility, or the chance to truly step away.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to vacation-proof your business. From the before (setting up systems, testing your team, and letting them fly), to the during (actually stepping back, checking your ego, and resisting the urge to micromanage), to the after (reviewing what worked, what didn’t, and fixing the gaps), we’re giving you the blueprint for building a business that doesn’t collapse just because you unplug.

We don’t just preach it—we’ve lived it. We’ve been the control freaks, the martyrs, the ones who thought the world would stop spinning if we didn’t answer every email. Spoiler alert: it didn’t. And the sooner you train your business (and yourself) to run without you, the sooner you step into the kind of freedom you signed up for when you became an entrepreneur in the first place.

So, are you ready to stop being the bottleneck and start being the badass visionary your business actually needs? Press play, then go ahead and open that browser—because it’s time to start searching for flights.

In this episode, we cover:

• The “before” checklist: systems, SOPs, delegation, and dry runs

• How to handle the “during”: discipline, ego-checks, and letting your team problem-solve

• The “after” debrief: why reviewing fresh data beats rosy-colored hindsight

• The mindset shift from martyr entrepreneur to badass leader

• Why stepping away makes your business (and you) stronger

Ready to vacation-proof your business? Listen now, then share this episode with a fellow entrepreneur who needs the reminder that freedom comes from letting go.

We didn’t start our businesses just to make money—we started them to make a difference. In this episode, we’re diving deep into what it means to run a business that not only profits but also serves a bigger purpose.

Social entrepreneurship isn’t reserved for massive nonprofits or global movements. It’s something we can embody as everyday business owners—especially when we’re rooted in our communities, building something real, and choosing impact over ego.

We’re sharing:

• The real definition of social entrepreneurship (and why it matters now more than ever)

• How we’ve built community impact into our business models—intentionally

• The myths around giving back, visibility, and “selling out”

• Why creating a mission-driven business helps you stand out and scale with integrity
  

If you’re ready to lead with purpose and still grow with strategy, this episode is your permission slip to do both—and do them well.

Let’s build businesses that actually change lives—ours and others’.

🎧 Listen in and let’s rise together.

In this episode, we’re getting real about one of the most underestimated power plays in business: trust.

We talk a lot about the know-like-trust factor, but let’s be honest—most people stop at “like” and assume “trust” will just happen. It doesn’t. Trust is built, earned, protected, and—if we’re not careful—easily lost.

We dig into:

• Why trust is the ultimate accelerator for sales, referrals, and retention

• The hidden ways we might be breaking trust without even realizing it

• Online and offline strategies to build trust in every touchpoint

• How transparency, consistency, and systems are your best trust-building allies

• Why your brand voice, presence, and partnerships matter more than you think
  

We also share some stories (and hard truths) from our own journeys—because trust isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being real, reliable, and relentlessly aligned with your values.

If you’ve ever wondered why your audience isn’t converting—or sticking—this one’s for you.

Challenge of the Week: Audit your client journey. Where are you intentionally building trust—and where are you unintentionally planting red flags?

We’ve all been there—the offer comes in, the idea strikes, the opportunity shows up—and before we even think it through, we say yes. Because we’re problem solvers. We move fast. We believe in momentum.

Sometimes, that instinct is exactly what takes us to the next level. A quick yes can launch new relationships, build credibility, and stretch us into the leaders we’re meant to be.

But let’s be honest: it can also leave us drowning in commitments, cutting corners, and wondering why we feel so behind.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the truth behind the “say yes and figure it out” mindset. When it works, when it backfires, and how to make the call in under five minutes—without sacrificing our sanity or our standards.

Here’s what we’re diving into:

• Why fast decisions often lead to growth

• The risks of overcommitting in the name of opportunity

• Our go-to 5-question filter that helps us decide what gets a yes

• How to reframe your response when you’re not quite ready, but don’t want to close the door completely
  

This is the episode for anyone who feels pulled in every direction, wants to stay open to possibility, but also wants to lead with clarity and strength.

We don’t have time to waste. Let’s start saying yes—with strategy.

Let’s be real—most businesses don’t collapse overnight. The warning signs are always there… but too many entrepreneurs are too busy, too tired, or too hopeful to notice them.

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain and breaking down the biggest red flags that tell you your business is headed for serious trouble—and what to do about it before it’s too late.

We’ve seen it all: • Cash flow chaos • Team burnout • Marketing on autopilot • Owners who are checked out but still grinding • And businesses running at full speed… in the wrong direction

This isn’t about doom and gloom. This is about taking the lead. We’re here to help you face the hard truth with clarity, courage, and next steps.

In this episode, we cover:

• Financial red flags you can’t afford to ignore

• Operational breakdowns that quietly destroy momentum

• Team misalignment that kills culture and growth

• Sales and marketing gaps that lead to irrelevance

• What to do when your gut is telling you it’s not working

  
  

We don’t just point out the problems—we give you real-world insight and the tools to turn it around. This episode could be the difference between burning out… and bouncing back stronger.

So let’s dig in. Your business is worth fighting for—and we’re right there in the ring with you.
