Meet Your Host
Semi-ranty business strategies for successful small business owners.
Hey, it’s your host, Abagail Pumphrey. And I’m on a personal mission to help more small business owners become financially free.
I like to nerd out on all things business, marketing, and most definitely the numbers. I’m talking all the lessons learned as I turned a layoff into a 7-figure online business.
I like to share it all and no conversation is off the table. We talk actionable strategies, biz challenges, and all the things life throws your way - grief, anxiety, loss, and resilience are all topics you’ll find here.

Thank you for your realness!
As a perfectionist who always “shoulds” on myself, I want to THANK YOU for the practical business advice and for keeping it real! After listening to an episode, I feel ready to tackle the next step... instead of feeling completely overwhelmed. Thank you both for your honesty. It helps me set better goals, reflect more truthfully, and actually get stuff done!

Real guidance and conversations
Abagail and Emylee keep it real. I love their focus on helping creative entrepreneurs to build a soul-fulfilling and profitable business. We don’t get that kind of guidance in university or from our parents (at least, I didn’t!) and it’s invaluable. The conversations these two hosting about empowering women and shifting the conversation in the entrepreneur community are so important.

How to Go from Collaborating to Business Partners and How it Works as a Team Inside TCC
As a two woman team, we get a lot of questions about how we make a partnership work. We always get asked how we met, how we work as a team inside TCC, and what gave us the idea to make the leap from collaborators to business partners. We know it’s not necessarily super common, but it seems like everyone is always interested in seeing how this works. So we figured we would share some of the actual tools and mindsets that we went through when we barely knew each other at first and started the business, like normal people do of course.
When we first met we were each running our own businesses at the time, yet serving a similar clientele. We quickly learned that we had a lot in common and it was not long before we decided to work together, instead of doing the same things separately. We became really fast friends and we were talking literally every day. We realized that with every sentence that we spoke, it was the exact same dream and hope and goal that the other person had.
The Art and Science of Charging What You're Worth
Today we are talking all about pricing, numbers, and figuring out what the heck to charge for the services that you offer and the products that you sell. We take on the topic with intense passion, so hold onto your socks, because you will hear exactly how we feel as the episode goes on. We get asked what to charge and what others would be willing to pay for it so often, and it’s an important issue to us!
We know a lot of you are floundering about with this whole pricing game. Do not fret — personally, this is the topic that brought Abagail and me together. It is one that we were both equally passionate about. We wanted to be able to illustrate a different side of pricing to creative entrepreneurs. You just have to get started. So buckle up as we dive into some of that strategy today and mindset that goes with it!
How to Make a Global Impact
We are so excited to share our chat with Jessica Honegger, the founder of Noonday Collection, today. She is a completely amazing human being! She is a boss who truly understands the frustrations, the struggles, and the concerns that come with owning a business. In today’s episode, we talk about giving back with your business, ethical business practices, and the difference between that and fair trade. We even jump into some creativity hacks, and Abagail cries (so you know it’s gonna be good).
In this episode, you are going to get a lot of great insight into growing and scaling a business. It’s going to get a little emotional, and I’m pretty sure you are going to walk away at the end of it with lots of goosebumps. There is no doubt you’re going to be fired up about making sure your business has a huge impact. We can’t wait for you to listen. This one’s going to be awesome!
Send us a DM
We want to keep the conversation going. We want to hear your hot takes, your biggest take aways or the genius ideas that pop in your head as you’re listening to the show.
Our DMs are always open over on Instagram so head on over and introduce yourself so we can get to know you!
I’m still amazed that a digital product I created resulted in $ 288,000 in sales and added 10,000 people to my email list– and they paid to join it! I’m going to share all about it in today’s show.
