When you’re overworked in your business, the last thing you want to do is add an after-hours commitment. But a strategic evaluation process completed in the evenings over a 2 week window is exactly what allowed this week’s guest to cut her weekly working hours from 45 down to 15!
Serial entrepreneur and founder of the Pursuit Company, Amanda Moffett, developed the GOLD framework out of this experiment, an approach she utilized to streamline her business, get rid of anything that wasn’t necessary, and make her operations as efficient as possible.
After working through this framework solo, she brought it to her team and they saw improvements in just 24 hours after implementing new systems.
Here’s the step-by-step framework that reimagined Amanda’s business and reduced the chaos.

We hear it all the time: location, location, location. But what if this concept didn’t just apply to real estate and could actually impact the success of your business? Imagine having answers to where to move to support your next big uplevel, what city to host your conference in, or what geographic area your dream clients are most concentrated. Astrocartography does just that. Sandra Nelly is an astrocartographer and relocation astrologer working on the intersection of astrology and the topics of travel, careers, and business. She helps business owners unlock their cosmic blueprint through their personal and business' birth chart (yes businesses can have birth charts too). Curious? We put Sandra in the hot seat to reveal how you can apply the universe’s secrets to aid your business success.

We’ve had a few guests on the show who have sold their businesses, but this case study is the first time we’ve explored what it looks like to buy your business back post-exit.
After building BestSelf Co. to $45 million in sales, Cathryn Lavery sold her company to private equity in 2022 for 7 figures. She remained involved in the company as a brand ambassador, but watched as they made big changes that did little to grow the business.
Then last year, she was given the once in a lifetime opportunity to buy the business back for pennies on the dollar - a six figure sum - when the private equity firm decided to close down. Now with a second chance to rebuild more sustainably, Cathryn is applying what she learned from her first go-around and taking notes on what the private equity firm did well and where they fell short to fix the mistakes she’s inherited.
Was it worth it? Here’s the full scoop.

Did you know there's a link between flossing habits and cognitive diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia?
Learning this from Brynn Snyder, Co-founder and CEO of Slate Flosser, literally had me reaching for a floss post-interview.
Today’s case study is a real-time example of how prioritizing problem education over product education can drive action (and sales) much faster.
Through a 3 pronged, education-first marketing approach of trade shows, organic content, and influencer campaigns with dental professionals, Slate Flosser’s sales have increased by 20%, going from $10K months to experiencing $10K sales days.
Here’s Brynn’s take on how problem awareness changes user behavior and drives purchasing power.

Today’s case study is a lesson in using customer feedback to evolve your brand. Despite uniquely positioning themselves as frameless prints for 15 years, Fracture recently made a surprising move.
When Meredith English, who led teams at well-known consumer brands like Crocs and Daily Harvest, became the new CEO of Fracture, she recognized the customer demand for a framed option of their signature frameless glass photo prints, and took a calculated risk to roll out this product add-on.
Introducing this add-on to their checkout resulted in a 20% increase in their average order value, improved their customer acquisition costs, and finally converted fence-sitters who had been sitting for ages on their email list into paying customers.
Here’s exactly how Fracture made this decision and launched this add-on, and when it's smart to adapt your business to grow alongside your customers’ evolving preferences.

Imagine if 4-day work weeks didn’t only occur when a holiday weekend rolls around. Beyond more free time, do shorter work weeks also create financial gain?
Today’s case study explores that question with Erin Diehl, founder of B2B professional development company, Improve It and best-selling author of “I see You! A Leader’s Guide to Energize Your Team Through Radical Empathy.”
After a life altering concussion last year, Erin knew she needed to prioritize her physical and mental health, which prompted her to research the logistics of working only 4 days per week. In October 2023, her company piloted this new structure for all internal staff for 90 days, creating benchmarks to help them determine if this trial had been a success.
Now nearly a year later, they’re still going strong with 4 day work weeks and have hit their end of quarter revenue goals for three straight quarters, seeing as large as a 77% growth in a single quarter.
Here’s the process Erin and her team used to successfully implement this.

Feeling bored of doing the same launch over and over in your business, but not the ambition of starting and selling a new offer from scratch?
Today’s case study is a test of the perfect in between solution: selling a live cohort of an existing digital course with a low lift launch.
Candice Ward, food photographer and monetization coach for other food bloggers and content creators, decided to put a poll up on her IG story asking her followers if they would be interested in a 12 week, implementation-focused VIP coaching cohort of her signature course.
After receiving a positive response, she built out her new offer with minimal effort the very next day, selling only to those who had virtually raised their hand on her Instagram stories. By quietly launching only to this exclusive group through Instagram stories and DMs, Candice sold out of all spots, injecting $12K into her business in just 6 days!
We’ve got the full scoop on this quiet launch and how you can replicate something similar to refresh your digital courses (and revenue).

When is the right time to exit your business?
For Suneera Madhani, it was after taking her fintech startup, Stax, from idea to unicorn - a moniker coined for the rare privately-held company that reaches a billion dollar valuation.
After selling to private equity and finding a new CEO to lead the company’s next stage of growth, Suneera knew she wanted to return back to the building phase of business.
Taking everything she knew about building a billion dollar business, Suneera’s set out to do it again, this time with Worth AI - a company creating the first ever credit score for businesses.
In today’s case study on lessons from building a billion dollar brand, Suneera shares the wisdom she took from her exit that she’s applying to this new venture, so you can borrow her hard-earned lessons & hindsight as well.

I always say, the best business ideas come from looking outside your own industry. Today’s case study affirms just that. In 3 short years, this CEO has 3Xed her revenue without increasing her marketing spend AT ALL. In fact, she’s spending a fraction of what her competitors’ are, with greater success.
The client acquisition engine that grew her business from $1 to $6 million? A robust, mostly automated referral network.
Vanessa Rissetto is the co-founder and CEO of Culina Health, a revolutionary clinical nutrition care company, giving best-in-class virtual nutrition care covered by insurance. Instead of selling their services directly to the patient, they’ve structured a referral system with doctors and physicians who send their patients directly to them.
This referral program has grown by 9x in the last 3 years, generating 85% of the company’s overall revenue. Here’s the kicker though: there are no financial incentives involved for the referral partners.
So what motivates the referral partners to keep sending new clients their way? Keep listening to find out.

Is it ever a good idea to work for free? Many entrepreneurs wouldn’t consider it, especially after being in business for years, but this CEO makes a solid case for why selective pro bono work pays off - sometimes more than you would have even netted from charging for the original service.
Tracy Marlowe, founder of marketing agency Creative Noggin, has consistently taken on 1-2 pro bono projects a year. In today’s case study, Tracy details how she’s made MILLIONS of dollars in ROI over the years with this unconventional marketing strategy, either landing paid contracts with satisfied pro bono clients, or referrals from other businesses who were impressed with her work.

Ben Angel is an award-winning and bestselling author, entrepreneur, and influencer with over two decades of experience leveraging emerging technologies for competitive advantage, including AI.
In today’s case study, Ben gives us his behind the scenes process for how he leverages AI to create viral content that has garnered more than 5 million views, including one video that grew his email list by 10,000 subscribers.
Keep listening to borrow his exact framework for creating headlines designed to trend on whichever publication you create content for (whether you want to be a guest contributor like Ben, or on your own website) and his top tips for leveraging AI - without sounding like everyone else.

Today’s case study embraces experimentation on several fronts - new audience, new content platform, and new offer.
Seasoned online business owner and mentor to digital freelancers, Amy Posner, wanted to expand her audience beyond copywriters, so she got on LinkedIn, a platform she wasn’t active on previously, and tested a daily content strategy to build trust with a new audience of creative freelancers.
Within 6 months, Amy had attracted 708 LinkedIn followers and added 414 people to her email list - all organically. She then launched a new program to them, selling out the first round in just 2 weeks and generating over $45K in revenue - most impressive, all but one were first-time buyers in her ecosystem who had found her through LinkedIn.
This is the step by step LinkedIn content strategy that Amy plans to continue, and encourages you to borrow and test for yourself.

The media tends to portray women as over-spenders who are bad with money, causing Kickstart Accounting founder Danielle Hayden to notice that many of her new clients would come in asking “where can I cut back?”
But Danielle, who runs a 7 figure bookkeeping and accounting agency, challenges that narrative by examining where women are actually underspending in their businesses in a way that is prohibitive to reaching their goals.
In this case study, we dissect how Danielle is spending $113,223 on outsourced services for her business this year to drive growth, and why she has no desire to bring these roles in-house.
We’ll itemize every outsourced service, how much return she gets on these investments, and the process she uses to discern which roles should be hired in-house versus outsourced to an expert.
