  • E186 Designing a Child Care Business That Supports Your Dream Life with Faith Yocum
    Apr 29 2025

    What if the business that’s overwhelming you right now could actually be your path to freedom? In this powerful episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, hosts Brian and Carol sit down with Faith Yocum—a former manufacturing engineer who reinvented her career by launching and growing a thriving child care business alongside her husband and business partner, Brian.

    Faith opens up about her early days as a stressed and sleep-deprived owner of three centers, and how joining Child Care Genius University became the turning point that changed everything. With the right support and systems, Faith and her husband were able to step out of the daily grind, restructure their operations, and spend the past year traveling full-time—spanning over 200 days across the U.S. and Europe—all while their schools continued to run successfully without them.

    Now, Faith is stepping into a new chapter as the Vice President of Coaching and Business Development at Child Care Genius. She shares her passion for helping other owners not just grow their businesses, but align them with the life they want to live—whether that’s travel, family time, or simply peace of mind.

    This episode is packed with inspiration and practical insight. If you've ever felt like your business is running you instead of the other way around, Faith’s story is a must-listen. Tune in to hear what’s possible when you stop limiting your goals to just the business—and start building a life you truly love.

  • E184 From Setbacks to Success: A Child Care Center Owner Building a Legacy with Latisha Moore
    Apr 22 2025

    What happens when you refuse to let early setbacks define your future?

    Join us on this episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast as Brian and Carol chat with Latisha Moore, a child care business owner from Washington, North Carolina, who chose to write her own story—one of growth, purpose, and impact. She was a high school dropout and teen mom who heard plenty of people tell her what she couldn’t do. But instead of accepting the negative labels and assumptions that often come with that title, Latisha pushed forward and built a life of service, leadership, and success.

    Tune in as she shares her incredible journey—from working in mental health and opening a residential facility for girls to launching a thriving child care center licensed for 240 children. With no previous experience in the industry, Latisha followed her curiosity and calling to understand why so many young children needed behavioral support—and built a center that supports the whole child and the whole family.

    Now, as a proud child care center owner, Latisha continues to grow her business and her legacy with the support of Child Care Genius University. She credits the individualized coaching and community as a game-changer—helping her put systems in place, scale faster, and lead with confidence. Her story is a reminder that no matter where you start, with the right support and mindset, you can build something extraordinary.

  • E182 Prep Dish to the Rescue: Meal Planning Made Easy for Busy Child Care Owners with Allison Schaaf
    Apr 15 2025

    Do you ever feel like feeding your family healthy meals is a full-time job in itself—especially when you’re already juggling the demands of running a child care business? In this refreshing and practical episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, hosts Brian and Carol step away from the usual business talk to tackle a topic every busy child care owner and parent can relate to: how to eat healthy without the overwhelm. They're joined by special guest Allison Schaaf—chef, registered dietitian, mom of three, and founder of the meal prep service Prep Dish—for a conversation packed with doable strategies for bringing sanity (and nutrition!) back to the dinner table.

    Allison shares her personal journey from private chef to creator of a system that helps families answer the dreaded “What’s for dinner?” question before the stress hits. She breaks down her no-fuss approach to meal planning, with practical tips like how to batch-prep ingredients, save time with frozen veggies, and get creative with leftovers (hint: they don’t have to feel like leftovers!). Whether you’re feeding your own kids or hundreds of children in your program, you’ll walk away with ideas to streamline meals and reduce mealtime stress.

    Brian and Carol also dive into common challenges child care leaders face when it comes to feeding themselves well—including how we often plan months ahead for our child care menus but completely wing it at home. Allison provides encouragement and real-life advice for meal planning with intention, even when time is tight and life is hectic. From handling travel meals on the road to helping picky eaters explore new foods, this episode covers it all.

    If you’re ready to feel more in control of mealtime and discover simple ways to nourish both your body and your family, you won’t want to miss this episode. Plus, don’t forget to check out Allison’s generous 2 week free trial at prepdish.com/genius—it might just be the game-changer you’ve been looking for.
