What AI Can’t Replace (And What You Should Automate Anyway)
AI is everywhere. It’s an undeniably powerful tool, it’s evolving fast, and it’s not going away. But even with all that momentum, there are still some things it can’t do and some things you should absolutely let it handle for you.
The Business Advice I’m Actively Ignoring Right Now
In today’s episode, I’m sharing where I’m intentionally being a rebel; where I’m choosing what actually aligns with my values and giving myself permission to evolve. I hope this episode gives you the spark to do the same. We’re going to tackle these, one piece of bad advice at a time, and I’ll break down exactly why I’m not following it.
How to Build ADHD-Friendly Systems that Support How Your Brain Works
If traditional business advice has ever felt like it was made for someone else’s brain, you’re not imagining it! This episode is all about building systems that truly support how you think, especially if you’re an entrepreneur with ADHD or leading a neurodiverse team.
Growing a Viral National Brand with a $0 Marketing Budget
Most brands assume going viral takes a big ad budget. But what if you could build national recognition, a cult-like following, and a thriving e-commerce business without spending a single dollar on paid ads? Lindzi Shanks is the co-founder of XO Marshmallow. She is an entrepreneur, strategist, and content genius who knows how to make people fall in love with a product, and she did it all with a $0 marketing budget.
Creating Without Guilt: The Middle Ground Between Hustle & Balance
We've been conditioned to believe that work falls into one of two extremes: either you're grinding non-stop, pushing yourself to exhaustion, or you've mastered the elusive work-life balance. But what if that’s a false choice? As a creator, I’ve realized that some of my work doesn’t feel like work at all. It can be play, it can be art, and it can feel deeply satisfying.
Why I Was Hesitant to Build a SAAS Company (And Why That’s Changing)
I’ve always wanted to build a SaaS, but I never wanted to manage a full development team or take on the huge financial gamble of developing something; potentially before you even have users. But the game has changed — so much is different now!
How to Write YOUR Non-Fiction Book in Just 60 Days with Stephanie Chandler
Ever dreamed of writing your own book but felt overwhelmed by the process? What if I told you that you could have it done in just 60 days without sacrificing quality? Today, we’re sitting down with Stephanie Chandler, a leading expert in non-fiction book publishing, to break down exactly how you can make this happen.
Why I Avoided Evergreen Funnels for Years (And What Changed My Mind)
Everyone has valuable knowledge that they can pass on to someone. For years, I avoided Evergreen funnels like the plague. But when I finally cracked the code on Evergreen funnels and figured out how to make them work without sacrificing engagement or live connection, it changed everything for me! I was able to get out of the live-launch cycle.
Should You Launch Live or Build Automated Funnels? How to Sell Your Digital Product
Have you ever set up a funnel and thought, “Great! I’m done here,” only to hear crickets? Or maybe you’re stuck in the never-ending cycle of live launching and wondering when you’ll finally get some breathing room. In this episode, I break down why real-time and automated funnels aren’t competitors—they’re actually the ultimate tag team!
Your Math Teacher Lied: The Science of Business Growth (Test, Optimize, Repeat!) with Jess O’Connell
Real success comes from experimentation, not perfection. If you’ve ever wondered why your business isn’t working even when you’ve done everything right, then this episode is for you! Hear why A plus B does not equal C in business and how learning to think like a scientist will help you stop overthinking, start testing, and finally scale with confidence!
Trendspotter: What’s Working Right Now on Instagram with Taylor Loren
In this episode, we’re diving into what’s actually working on Instagram in 2025. Which metrics truly matter for engagement? What should creators and business owners focus on for growth and monetization? Taylor breaks it all down, plus she’s busting some of the biggest myths people still believe about Instagram strategy!
How 66% of My Audience Paid to Join My Email List
Everyone says you need a lead magnet to grow your email list, but how many of those freebie seekers actually buy from you? In this episode, I’m breaking down why traditional freebies fall short, how to create low-ticket entry offers that actually convert, and why keeping your offers open year-round can lead to repeat buyers who move quickly up your value ladder.
Before You Build Your Next Funnel (Listen to THIS)
So many people build funnels to bring in passive income and wonder why it doesn’t sell – that’s because they skipped a step! In this episode, I’m going to help you explore the step that so many people miss: the one that is going to guarantee you actual income and talk about the right way to build a funnel.
What’s Next After a Decade in Business
It has been a whole decade since I started Boss Project. I have built a business, employed many people and taught tens of thousands of entrepreneurs how to build their businesses online. While I’m definitely still exploring my creativity and using that everyday as a content creator, where I’m at today is not at all where I thought I would be! It’s not the life I imagined for myself, but it is so much better!
