    Kristie Geitner - Journey Health & Wellness - When Healing Becomes the Mission
    2026/04/07
    When your child gets sick and nobody can give you a real answer, everything changes. That is where this conversation starts. Christie Geitner did not set out to build a wellness business. She started asking harder questions because her son was struggling, doctors were missing it, and her family had to fight for answers. What came next was years of learning, traveling, investing, and building something that could help other people feel seen before they got written off.

    Mary Kirchner - Miss M's Home & Garden - Growing Through the Seasons
    2026/03/31
    Some businesses are built on big ideas. Others are built on long hours, steady instincts, and knowing how to keep showing up year after year. In this episode, Mary Kirchner of Miss M’s Home and Garden talks about what it really takes to grow a business that depends on the seasons, the weather, the market, and a whole lot of trust.

    This conversation gets into the real side of ownership. Hiring, cash flow, inventory, partnerships, leadership, and the kind of work most people never see. Mary shares what it looks like to build something that lasts, why listening matters more than ego, and how experience, quality, and personal service still matter in a world full of big box competition.

  • Abundance Over Competition - Jake Duke - Duke Collective

    Abundance Over Competition - Jake Duke - Duke Collective
    2026/03/03
    Jake Duke didn’t build Duke Collective by chasing attention. He built it by chasing excellence, then letting the work do the talking. In this conversation, he gets real about what it actually feels like to start out in real estate as a “lost puppy,” land that first tiny deal, and slowly learn that every transaction has its own curveballs, even when the process looks the same on paper.

    What makes this one stick is the leadership angle. Jake talks about building a boutique brokerage around character, trust, and an abundance mindset, plus the challenge of protecting a brand when your agents are 1099 and running their own businesses inside yours. It’s candid, practical, and grounded, right down to the part of his life that keeps him rooted, family, faith, and an eighth-generation farm that still carries weight.

  • Retail Grind, Real Growth - Sara Slaughter - Brianne’s Boutique

    Retail Grind, Real Growth - Sara Slaughter - Brianne’s Boutique
    2026/02/17
    People love to say, “How hard can a boutique be? You buy cute clothes and people show up.” Sara Slaughter smiles at that, because she has lived the real version. The one where you are the buyer, the trainer, the marketer, the problem-solver, and sometimes the IT department too.

    Sara talks about the early years of Brianne’s Boutique, when they were still figuring out what the store really was, how to reach the right customers, and how to keep showing up even when the learning curve was steep.

    Now, with 15 years behind them and a bigger move coming in summer 2026, she’s still playing to win. Not by chasing trends, but by building trust, creating a real in-store experience, and sticking to one simple motto: bigger isn’t better, better is better.
