Scott Koeneman: AI Automation, Hypnosis & the Power of the Mind (Part 1)

Wed, 21 Oct 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

What if growing your business and unlocking your personal potential had more in common than you think?

Jennie Bellinger welcomes Dr. Scott Koeneman, business transformation expert, Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and founder of Matrix Automations, for a conversation that bridges technology and the power of the subconscious mind.

Scott shares how a simple problem with missed appointments inspired him to create Titan Bot, an AI-powered automation system designed to help business owners recover lost opportunities, reduce no-shows, and spend less time managing repetitive tasks.

But the conversation takes an unexpected turn when Scott reveals his journey into hypnosis and the fascinating world of altered states of consciousness.

From AI automation to brainwave states and Jennie's personal experience using hypnosis for pain relief, this first half explores how working smarter and thinking differently can open doors to growth.

Three Topics Discussed

How missed appointments and ineffective follow-up can quietly cost businesses customers and revenue.
How Titan Bot helps customers reschedule appointments through simple text conversations.
How Scott's curiosity led him from corporate process improvement into past-life regression.

Three Key Takeaways from Scott Koeneman

Growth doesn't always require more effort. Sometimes the biggest business opportunities come from improving the systems you already have. Automation can help recover missed appointments, improve customer communication, and give business owners more time to focus on what they do best.
Curiosity can lead to unexpected opportunities. Scott's interest in hypnosis began as an experiment during a period of professional uncertainty. His willingness to explore something unfamiliar ultimately opened an entirely new direction in his life.
Your mind may be more powerful than you realize. Jennie's experience with hypnosis and pain management highlights how exploring the mind-body connection can change the way we think about our capabilities.

"Once that time slot's gone, it's gone. TitanBot just makes sure that it reappears again." - Scott Koeneman

Jennifer Hough: Stop Searching for Your Purpose and Start Becoming

Fri, 16 Oct 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

What if your purpose isn't something you're supposed to find, but something you're continuously becoming?

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger welcomes Jennifer Hough, futurist, TEDx speaker, and international bestselling author of Unstuck: The Physics of Getting Out of Your Own Way for a conversation about alignment, consciousness, curiosity, and the evolving nature of personal purpose.

Jennifer shares how her journey from economics and corporate life into transformational leadership changed her understanding of what it means to truly choose your life. Together, she and Jennie explore why finding your purpose isn't about arriving at a fixed destination, but recognizing the direction you're being called to grow.

Through a personal exploration of Jennie's own purpose, Jennifer demonstrates how curiosity, passion, and an openness to possibility can help us move beyond old stories and embrace who we're becoming. The conversation also explores Jennifer's spiritual perspective on resonance, future potential, and the idea that our past experiences can serve as catalysts for growth without continuing to define our future.

Three Topics Discussed

Purpose as an evolving journey: Why Jennifer believes purpose is a trajectory rather than a fixed destination, and how our experiences continually reshape who we're becoming.
Curiosity as a catalyst for transformation: How approaching life as a mystery rather than something to control can open the door to new opportunities.
Releasing the limitations of the past: Why our experiences can shape our growth without determining who we must continue to be.

Three Key Takeaways from Jennifer Hough

Your purpose isn't static—it's always evolving. Rather than searching for one perfect calling, consider how your purpose continues to expand as you gain experiences, develop new perspectives, and discover new possibilities.
Your past can be a catalyst without becoming your identity. The experiences that shaped you may have helped bring you to where you are, but you can choose how you move forward without continually relying on those experiences to motivate you.
Personal alignment can influence every area of your life. As Jennie shares from her own experience, changing how you show up personally can also change how you approach business, relationships, and opportunities.

“Your purpose is being expressed in new and more expansive ways all the time.” — Jennifer Hough

Tommi Murshed-Parish: Let Your Happy Customers Do the Selling

Wed, 14 Oct 2026 19:16:05 +0000

Episode Summary

What if your happiest customers could do most of the selling for you—before a potential client ever picks up the phone?

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Tommi Murshed-Parish, a client conversion expert specializing in video testimonials that build trust, overcome objections, and help businesses attract more of their ideal customers.

Tommi explains why simply collecting positive reviews isn't enough and how the right customer story can turn an interested prospect into someone who's already excited to work with you. He shares how digging deeper into a customer's experience reveals the emotional transformation behind the purchase—and why those stories often sell more effectively than talking about features, processes, or results alone.

Jennie and Tommi also explore the growing importance of authenticity in an AI-driven world, how businesses can use AI ethically to strengthen their marketing, and why an imperfect but genuine testimonial may be far more persuasive than a perfectly polished video.

Three Topics Discussed

Why video testimonials can help attract better clients, reduce price objections, and shorten the sales process.
How to uncover the emotional transformation behind a customer's experience rather than settling for generic praise.
Why authentic customer stories build credibility and trust more effectively than overly polished or scripted testimonials.

Three Key Takeaways from Tommi Murshed-Parish

Your happiest customers can become your most effective salespeople. A compelling testimonial helps potential clients see what's possible through someone else's experience, often building confidence before they ever speak with you.
Go beyond the results to uncover the real transformation. Don't stop at what a customer achieved. Ask what that achievement allowed them to do, how it changed their life, and why it mattered. Those deeper details create emotional connections.
Authenticity is more valuable than perfection. In a world increasingly filled with AI-generated content, natural speech, genuine emotion, and small human imperfections can make customer stories more believable.

“It's not how many you get. It's how their words make other people feel.” — Tommi Murshed-Parish

Client Conversion Expert | Video Testimonial Specialist

Tommi helps business owners turn their happiest customers into powerful advocates through authentic, emotionally compelling video testimonials. With eight years of experience and hundreds of testimonials produced, he specializes in uncovering the stories behind customer success and turning those experiences into marketing assets that build trust, attract better-fit clients, and help shorten the sales process.

Mike Routen: From ChatGPT to AI Agents: What's Possible for Your Business?

Wed, 7 Oct 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

What if AI could do more than answer questions and write content? What if it could actually become part of your team?

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Mike Routen, entrepreneur, software strategist, and founder of R4 Digital Systems, to explore the rapidly evolving world of AI agents and what they could mean for entrepreneurs and small businesses.

Mike breaks down the difference between simply chatting with AI, creating focused AI assistants, and building fully agentic systems capable of completing multi-step tasks. From prospecting and pre-call research to creating documents, automating repetitive processes, and even having AI agents build other agents, Mike shares practical examples of how entrepreneurs can use AI to dramatically increase their capacity.

But this isn't about replacing people. It's about giving yourself and your team "superpowers" so AI handles more of the repetitive thought work while humans spend their time on relationships, creativity, strategy, and the work only people can do.

Three Topics Discussed

What AI agents actually are and how they differ from using tools like ChatGPT or Claude as traditional chatbots.
Practical ways businesses can use AI agents for prospecting, research, document creation, workflow automation, and repetitive thought work.
The three levels of AI use: conversational AI, focused AI assistants, and fully agentic systems capable of completing work independently.

Three Key Takeaways from Mike Routen

Stop treating AI like a vending machine. Asking a question and getting an answer is only the beginning. AI becomes much more powerful when it's given a specific role, instructions, examples, tools, and a repeatable process.
AI can give small businesses access to capacity that previously required more employees. Mike shares that his 13-agent AI team has completed hundreds of human-equivalent work hours while operating through relatively inexpensive AI subscriptions.
Use AI to amplify people, not simply replace them. The bigger opportunity is letting AI handle repetitive thought work so humans can spend more time building relationships, solving problems, creating, and doing work that requires a person.

“If you can describe it and you can provide the tools that AI or a person would need, then that's a great opportunity for business automation.” — Mike Routen

Bronwyn Boyle: The Stories, Patterns & Archetypes Shaping Your Life

Fri, 2 Oct 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

What if the stories you tell about yourself aren't just describing your life—but quietly determining what happens next?

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Bronwyn Boyle, executive leadership coach, archetypal consultant, and creator of Archetypes for Life, to explore the hidden patterns and stories that shape how we see ourselves, relate to others, and make decisions.

Bronwyn explains how archetypes can help us recognize recurring patterns without getting trapped in judgment, and introduces four foundational archetypes—the Victim, Saboteur, Child, and Prostitute—that can reveal how we respond to responsibility, power, security, values, and difficult choices. She and Jennie also explore the power of telling your story out loud, the danger of repeating a story until it becomes an identity, and why greater self-awareness can create more freedom to choose what happens next.

Ultimately, this conversation challenges you to ask: Is this simply something that happened to me, or has it become the story of who I believe I am?

Three Topics Discussed

How the stories we repeatedly tell about ourselves can become patterns, identities, and eventually "sentences" that keep us stuck.
What archetypes are and how understanding them can help us recognize recurring behaviors in ourselves and others.
Why telling your story out loud can reveal contradictions, emotions, beliefs, and patterns you may not recognize while the story stays inside your head.

Three Key Takeaways from Bronwyn Boyle

Your story doesn't have to become your sentence. Experiences are part of your life, but repeatedly telling the same story without examining it can turn an experience into an identity or belief that limits what you think is possible.
Your patterns consume energy. The energy spent protecting wounds, avoiding situations, defending yourself, or preventing feared outcomes isn't available for creating the life, relationships, or business you actually want.
Understanding yourself changes how you understand others. Greater awareness of your own patterns can reduce projection and help you approach other people's behaviors with more discernment and grace.

“We don't want to sentence ourselves to something that no longer serves us.” — Bronwyn Boyle

Beatriz Lopez: Stop Hiding and Start Selling

jennie@whatyouneedtogrow.com (Badass Podcast Mastery, Bea Lopez, Beatriz Lopez) — Wed, 30 Sep 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

What if your biggest sales problem isn't your strategy, your offer, or even your content—but your fear of fully showing up as yourself?

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Bea Lopez, a sales and expression strategist who helps driven women build magnetic authority through full self-expression. After 15 years in corporate sales and being fired twice for being "too outspoken," Bea found herself questioning the confidence and sales ability that had once helped her consistently produce results. Ultimately, those experiences became the catalyst for rebuilding her confidence, finding her voice, and creating a business centered around helping other women do the same.

Bea and Jennie explore the personal-growth work behind becoming better at sales, from overcoming the fear of being seen and rejected to learning how to confidently own the value of what you offer. Bea also introduces Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), or tapping, and explains how she uses it to help women work through fear, anxiety, overthinking, and visibility blocks. Most importantly, Bea challenges entrepreneurs to stop treating sales like something they either naturally have or don't have: sales is a skill, and it can be learned.

Three Topics Discussed

Using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and other personal-growth practices to work through fear, anxiety, and visibility blocks.
Overcoming the fear of being seen, disliked, rejected, or hearing "no" when selling.
How authentic self-expression, confidence, and conviction can create more magnetic content, stronger sales conversations, and greater business opportunities.

Three Key Takeaways from Beatriz Lopez

Sales is a skill, not something you're born knowing how to do. Bea didn't begin her career as a "natural salesperson," and she believes entrepreneurs can learn and strengthen sales skills just like any other business skill.
Selling can feel like a natural conversation. When you believe in your work, understand your offer, ask good questions, and invite someone to work with you without attaching your self-worth to their answer, sales can feel significantly less intimidating.
Your authentic voice matters even more in an AI-driven world. As AI-generated content becomes increasingly common, Bea believes genuine human expression and connection give entrepreneurs an opportunity to stand out.

“Once you learn how to sell, you can sell anything.” — Bea Lopez

Bea helps skilled, driven women become more confident and expressive in the way they show up, market, and sell.

Mary Theresa McLean: Turn Google Reviews Into Real Revenue

Fri, 25 Sep 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

Your Google reviews aren't just testimonials—they can be powerful business assets working for you 24/7.

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Mary Theresa McLean, founder of Rising Review, to talk about how small business owners can turn Google reviews into trust, visibility, stronger customer relationships, and ultimately more revenue. After more than four decades as an entrepreneur, Mary Theresa has seen marketing evolve dramatically, but she believes one of today's most powerful strategies is also one of the simplest: consistently asking customers for honest reviews and then actually responding to them.

Mary Theresa explains the importance of review velocity, why thoughtful responses can be just as valuable as the original review, and how businesses can ethically encourage feedback without crossing the line into review manipulation. She and Jennie also explore how reviews, AI, and what Mary Theresa calls a business's "source of truth" may work together as consumers increasingly turn to AI to discover and evaluate businesses.

Three Topics Discussed

How to consistently ask customers for Google reviews without making the process complicated.
How thoughtful responses to both positive and negative reviews can strengthen customer relationships and become business assets.
Ethical, questionable, and fake review practices—and why businesses should ask for honest feedback rather than a predetermined star rating.

Three Key Takeaways from Mary Theresa McLean

Ask for the review. One of the simplest ways to generate more reviews is also the easiest to forget. Make asking for honest customer feedback a consistent part of your business process.
Respond to your reviews. Mary Theresa recommends responding within 24–48 hours and writing genuine, human responses instead of generic "thank you" messages.
Don't fear a negative review. A respectful, helpful response gives potential customers an opportunity to see how your business handles problems and can turn a negative review into a business asset.

“People are starting to look for businesses that respond to their reviews.” — Mary Theresa McLean

Neil Giller: Stop Listening to Your Own Business Bullsh*t

Thu, 24 Sep 2026 22:47:14 +0000

Episode Summary

Being your own boss can be one of the best parts of entrepreneurship—and one of the hardest. When you're responsible for everything from finding clients and networking to invoicing and delivering the actual work, running a business can quickly become a lonely balancing act.

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Neil Giller, speaker, business transformation expert, powerhouse networker, and founder of The Real Neil. Neil shares his journey from leaving school and entering the family business to experiencing a breakdown that ultimately became a breakthrough and completely changed the direction of his life and career.

Neil and Jennie dig into the realities of entrepreneurship, including accountability, work-life balance, networking, referrals, customer retention, and learning to get comfortable being uncomfortable. Neil shares why business owners need people around them who will provide both the "kick up the ass and the cuddle," why your reputation travels with every referral you make, and why your next opportunity for growth might be sitting within the clients you already have.

Three Topics Discussed

Why entrepreneurship can be lonely and the importance of surrounding yourself with other business owners.
Why networking, relationships, and word-of-mouth referrals remain powerful tools for business growth.
Customer retention and why business owners should look for opportunities to better serve and upsell existing clients instead of constantly chasing new ones.

Three Key Takeaways from Neil Giller

Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Growth often requires doing things that don't come naturally, from networking and public speaking to asking for business and putting yourself in new situations.
Networking isn't optional if you want people talking about your business. Neil encourages entrepreneurs to get out from behind their computers, build genuine relationships, and make sure people understand who they are and what they do.
Stop focusing exclusively on finding new customers. Existing happy clients already know, like, and trust you. Look for additional ways you can solve their problems, serve them, and create more value.

“The more you show people that you care about them genuinely, the more you're gonna make an impact.” — Neil Giller

Dr. Nat Green: Why Knowing Better Isn’t Always Enough to Create Change

Fri, 18 Sep 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

Have you ever done the personal development work, gained the self-awareness, and known what you should do next—yet still found yourself hitting an invisible ceiling?

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Dr. Nat Green, a transformational breakthrough coach, author, and host of the Growing Tall Poppies: Thrive After Trauma podcast. After more than 35 years working in clinical and health psychology, Dr. Nat's own experience with trauma led her to explore approaches beyond traditional therapy and eventually develop a deeper framework for understanding the protective patterns that can keep people stuck.

Dr. Nat introduces her seven transformational archetypes and explains how each carries both strengths and a "shadow side." She and Jennie explore what Dr. Nat calls identity fractures, the connection between the head, heart, gut, and nervous system, and why insight alone may not always create the transformation you're looking for. Dr. Nat even guides Jennie through a brief exercise that demonstrates how reconnecting with an empowering experience can create a powerful internal resource for moving forward.

Three Topics Discussed

The seven transformational archetypes and the strengths and challenges associated with each.
What Dr. Nat calls identity fractures and how she uses them in her transformational coaching framework.
Moving beyond simply understanding your patterns to creating deeper, more integrated change.

Three Key Takeaways from [Guest First &Last]

Your strengths and struggles may be connected. The qualities that help you survive difficult experiences can also develop a shadow side that limits you when those protective patterns are no longer needed.
What keeps you stuck doesn't have to come from a major traumatic event. Dr. Nat describes how seemingly small childhood experiences can influence the meaning we make about ourselves and the protective behaviors we develop.
Awareness is only part of transformation. Understanding a pattern cognitively may not be enough; Dr. Nat's approach also explores emotions, the body, and nervous-system responses.

“When the three brains are connecting and integrating, we have clarity, we make good choices, and we feel appropriately.” — Dr. Nat Green

Dee Bowden: Don't Lose Millions in Unpaid Invoices

Wed, 16 Sep 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

Insert episode description here

Three Topics Discussed

How recovering $6 million in 60 days helped inspire Dee's Collect the Cash mission.
Why entrepreneurs need as much confidence asking for payment as they have asking for the sale.
The importance of tracking the entire process from sale and contract through invoicing and payment.

Three Key Takeaways from Dee Bowden

Dee's four keys to collecting cash: problem-solving, customer service, gratitude, and relationship building.
Collecting money doesn't have to be confrontational. Dee recommends approaching accounts receivable from a problem-solving perspective: ask for the status of the invoice and work with the other person to determine what needs to happen next.
Create a tracking system. At minimum, track the customer, contract number, amount, item or service sold, billing date, expected payment date, and notes.

“The sale is not complete until the money's actually in the bank.” — Dee Bowden

Fri, 11 Sep 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

Grief doesn't only come from death. It can come from divorce, losing a job, illness, the end of a relationship, losing a pet, or any experience that changes the life and identity you once knew. And sometimes, that grief can quietly affect your ability to move forward personally and professionally.

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Stephen Stott, a social worker, speaker, and creator of the Breathing Into Grief community. Stephen brings both professional experience and a deeply personal understanding of grief, having experienced more than 15 deaths throughout his life, including surviving the car accident in which his sister Stacy died.

Stephen shares how discovering somatic breathwork changed his own relationship with grief more than 20 years after his sister's death and ultimately changed the direction of his work. Together, Stephen and Jennie explore why grief doesn't need to be compared or ranked, how loss can show up in the body, and how breathwork can offer another option for people who don't want—or simply aren't ready—to talk about what they've experienced.

Three Topics Discussed

Why there is no hierarchy of grief and how comparing losses can prevent people from feeling supported.
Recognizing grief beyond death, including divorce, illness, career changes, pet loss, estrangement, and other major life transitions.
Stephen's experience discovering somatic breathwork after years of traditional therapy and grief support.

Three Key Takeaways from Stephen Stott

Your grief doesn't need to be compared to someone else's. As Stephen explains, your worst loss is your worst loss. Different types of grief don't need to compete for legitimacy.
Grief can affect how you show up in other areas of life. Feeling stuck, procrastinating, staying inside your comfort zone, or struggling to move a business forward may sometimes coexist with unresolved experiences of loss.
Breathwork doesn't have to be extreme. Stephen intentionally uses a gentler approach designed to avoid pushing participants into the intense emotional displays sometimes associated with somatic breathwork.

“My loss is my worst loss, and your loss is your worst loss.” — Stephen Stott

Social Worker | Speaker | Creator of Breathing Into Grief

Stephen combines his personal experiences with loss and his professional background in psychology and social work to support people navigating grief. His goal is to create an inclusive community where people can explore grief without comparing losses or being required to talk about their experiences.

Chris Hanlon: The Secret to Becoming a Compelling Communicator

jennie@whatyouneedtogrow.com (Chris Hanlon) — Wed, 9 Sep 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

You don't have to be a natural-born public speaker to become a compelling communicator—and you don't have to sound like everyone else, either.

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Chris Hanlon, a speaking coach who has spent more than a decade selecting and coaching TEDx speakers. After coaching more than 100 TEDx speakers, Chris has developed a process designed to help speakers clarify their message, structure it effectively, memorize it naturally, and ultimately deliver it in a way that feels authentic to them. He shares why great coaching shouldn't force everyone into the same speaking style and why your individual strengths should shape the way you communicate.

Chris and Jennie also explore lessons from TEDx that apply far beyond the TEDx stage. From networking introductions to business presentations, Chris explains how leading with emotion can make your message more memorable, why clarity must come before performance, and how preparation can actually make you more present when you're speaking. Whether you're dreaming of giving a TEDx talk or simply want to feel more confident talking about your business, this conversation offers practical strategies you can start using immediately.

Three Topics Discussed

What it really takes to prepare for and deliver a successful TEDx talk.
Why speaking coaches shouldn't force every speaker into the same formula or style.
Chris's four-part process of clarity, structure, flow, and performance.

Three Key Takeaways from Chris Hanlon

Your goal isn't always to teach everything you know. A compelling talk can spark curiosity and make people want to continue learning from you.
Great speaking should sound like you. Techniques that work for one speaker may not work for another, so build around your natural strengths rather than copying someone else's formula.
Lead with your audience instead of yourself. Starting a networking introduction with a question such as "Have you ever...?" can create an emotional connection before you explain what you do.

Jodie Rodenbaugh: Stop Sabotaging the Success You’ve Worked For

jennie@whatyouneedtogrow.com (Jodie Rodenbaugh) — Fri, 4 Sep 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

What if the thing keeping you from your next level of success isn't another business strategy—but a pattern you don't even realize you're carrying?

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Jodie Rodenbaugh, the Love Liberator, a coach, speaker, former educator, and catalyst for living and leading from love. Jodie shares the deeply personal experience that transformed her life after the sudden death of her husband and ultimately led her from education into helping others understand the patterns influencing how they experience love, success, relationships, and personal growth.

Jennie and Jodie explore the connection between our early experiences, emotions, intuition, and the decisions we make as adults. They discuss what Jodie calls "upper limit problems," the difference between emotion and intuition, and why reaching a new level of success sometimes triggers unexpected challenges in other areas of life. It's a thought-provoking conversation about becoming more aware of the patterns influencing you so you can intentionally choose what comes next.

Three Topics Discussed

Similar patterns can reappear as you encounter new levels of responsibility and growth.
What Jodie calls "upper limit problems" and how they can appear as you reach new levels of success.
Moving beyond outside validation to develop greater self-awareness, trust, and personal sovereignty.

Three Key Takeaways from Jodie Rodenbaugh

Growth isn't only about changing what's happening around you; it can require examining the patterns influencing how you respond to success, relationships, fear, and opportunity.
Success in one area of life shouldn't require sacrificing every other area. Paying attention to the whole picture can reveal where greater balance may be needed.
Personal growth is ongoing. Each new level can require greater self-awareness and a willingness to approach familiar challenges differently.

Jodie helps entrepreneurs and leaders explore the patterns that may be keeping them stuck, reconnect with themselves, strengthen their intuition, and approach their personal and professional growth from a place of greater self-awareness.

Louis Swart: How to Get 160% Done Without Doing More

jennie@whatyouneedtogrow.com (Jennie Bellinger, CPC) — Wed, 2 Sep 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

What if growing your business didn’t require you to work harder—but required you to stop doing so much yourself?

In this episode, Jennie sits down with Louis Swart, business coach, author, international speaker, and the powerhouse behind Iron Bridge. Drawing from 35 years of building and scaling businesses, including growing a company to 450 employees, Louis shares the lessons that taught him how essential delegation is to creating a business that can grow beyond its owner.

Louis introduces a simple but powerful idea: if someone else can do a task even 60% as well as you can, delegating it means you can suddenly accomplish 160% of what you could alone. He and Jennie also dig into the hidden cost of doing low-value tasks yourself, "productive procrastination," our tendency to wear busyness as a badge of honor, and why identifying the true value of your time can completely change the way you run your business. Most importantly, Louis challenges listeners not to simply learn something from the episode, but to take action on it.

Three Topics Discussed

Why doing everything yourself can actually make your business less valuable.
The 60% delegation principle and how it can help you get 160% done.
Recognizing productive procrastination and the difference between being busy and being productive.

Three Key Takeaways from Louis Swart

If your business depends entirely on you, you've created a job for yourself rather than a business that can grow without you.
Calculate what an hour of your working time needs to be worth, then ask whether you'd actually pay someone that amount to complete the task you're currently doing.
Being busy isn't the same as being productive. Sometimes productive-looking activities are simply procrastination from the work that will actually move your business forward.

Connect with Louis Swart

Business Coach, Author & International Speaker

Louis helps entrepreneurs overcome busyness, master delegation, create effective systems, and build businesses capable of growing without everything depending on the owner.

🎁 Free Gift: Louis offers WYNTG listeners a checklist of 150 things you can delegate in your business. Find his gift inside the Gift Vault at WhatYouNeedToGrow.com.

Katie Sevenants: Why Your Business Needs Your Face

jennie@whatyouneedtogrow.com (Jennie Bellinger, CPC) — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

You can have the best product or service in the world—but if people don't know you exist, your business can't grow. In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with strategic visibility coach Katie Sevenants to discuss why visibility is one of the most powerful growth strategies for entrepreneurs. From overcoming the fear of being on camera to building trust through authentic video content, Katie shares practical strategies that help business owners become the recognizable face of their brand and attract more of the right clients.

Three Topics Discussed

Why visibility is essential for business growth and authority.
Common mistakes entrepreneurs make on social media and how to fix them.
Using video to build trust, credibility, and stronger client relationships.

Three Key Takeaways from Katie Sevenants

People can't buy from you if they don't know you exist. Consistent visibility creates opportunities, trust, and business growth.
Clarity about who you serve and the message you want to share is more important than having perfect equipment or production quality.
Authentic video content builds relationships faster than almost any other form of marketing because people buy from people—not logos.

Michaela Gaffen-Stone: Become the Version of You Ready to Receive Success

jennie@whatyouneedtogrow.com (Jennie Bellinger, CPC) — Fri, 7 Aug 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

What if the problem you're trying to solve isn't actually the real problem? In this thought-provoking episode, Jennie Bellinger welcomes behavior expert, master nutrition coach, Human Design strategist, and self-proclaimed "professional life untangler" Michaela Gaffen-Stone. Together they explore how unconscious stories, limiting beliefs, and inherited patterns quietly shape our decisions, relationships, business success, and personal fulfillment. Michaela shares how understanding yourself more deeply—through Human Design, behavioral patterns, and powerful self-reflection—can help you stop chasing someone else's version of success and start living in true alignment.

Three Topics Discussed

Why many people focus on symptoms instead of addressing the true root cause of their challenges.
How childhood beliefs and unconscious stories continue to influence our success as adults.
Using Human Design as a tool for greater self-awareness, confidence, and aligned decision-making

Three Key Takeaways from Michaela Gaffen-Stone

The challenge you think you're facing is often just the symptom. Lasting transformation happens when you uncover and address the real root cause.
Success doesn't come from following someone else's blueprint. It comes from discovering and trusting your own unique path.
One of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself is, "What else is possible?" That single question opens the door to entirely new opportunities and perspectives.

jennie@whatyouneedtogrow.com (Jennie Bellinger, CPC) — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

Great marketing isn't about chasing every new trend—it's about building a strategy that consistently puts your business in front of the right people. In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with digital marketing expert Mark Porter to discuss how small businesses can compete online using SEO, geofencing, digital billboards, Google Business Profiles, and customer-focused messaging. Whether you're just starting your business or looking to scale, this conversation will help you understand how intentional marketing creates long-term growth.

Three Topics Discussed

Why effective marketing requires strategy instead of one-size-fits-all solutions.
How SEO, Google Business Profiles, and digital marketing increase business visibility.
The personal growth habits and leadership lessons that helped build a successful marketing business.

Three Key Takeaways from Mark Porter

The businesses that consistently show up in front of their ideal audience are the ones that earn trust and win more customers over time.
Simple, customer-focused messaging is far more effective than trying to overwhelm people with information.
The right combination of digital tools—such as SEO, CRM systems, paid advertising, and targeted marketing—creates stronger long-term results than relying on a single tactic.

jennie@whatyouneedtogrow.com (Jennie Bellinger, CPC) — Fri, 24 Jul 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

What if the fastest way to grow your business wasn't doing more—but becoming more aligned with who you already are? In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Human Design Therapist and Emotional Sovereignty Guide Jenn Greiner to explore how understanding your unique energetic blueprint can help you avoid burnout, make better decisions, and build a business that feels authentic and sustainable.

Recognizing burnout, frustration, and misalignment before they impact your health and business.
Using deconditioning practices to release limiting patterns and reconnect with your authentic purpose.
How Human Design provides a roadmap for personal and business alignment.

Three Key Takeaways from Jenn Greiner

Burnout often comes from trying to operate according to someone else's blueprint instead of honoring your own unique energy.
The emotions of frustration, anger, bitterness, or disappointment can be signals that you're out of alignment—not signs that something is wrong with you.
Every person has a unique purpose, and greater self-awareness allows you to step more confidently into the work you're meant to do.

jennie@whatyouneedtogrow.com (Jennie Bellinger, CPC) — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

Great businesses aren't built by having all the answers—they're built by leaders who ask better questions, coach their people well, and create cultures where teams can thrive. In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with leadership strategist Amy Nunn to explore how poor communication, misaligned systems, and ineffective leadership quietly drain organizations of time, money, and talent. Discover how coaching, emotional intelligence, and the right leadership approach can strengthen your team, reduce costly turnover, and help your business grow from the inside out.

Three Topics Discussed

Most workplace conflict comes from assumptions and poor communication. Asking thoughtful questions uncovers the real issue before problems escalate.

Cecil McIntosh: The 60-Second Shift That Can Change Your Life

jennie@whatyouneedtogrow.com (Jennie Bellinger, CPC) — Fri, 3 Jul 2026 15:09:55 +0000

Episode Summary

Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs come after life completely falls apart.

After experiencing divorce and bankruptcy in the same week, Cecil McIntosh realized he'd spent years chasing success while ignoring the wisdom that had shaped him growing up in Barbados. That painful season became the catalyst for a completely different way of living—one centered around inner stillness instead of constant striving.

In this conversation with Jennie Bellinger, Cecil shares how returning to the lessons of his grandmother transformed not only his personal life but also his approach to leadership, business, relationships, and communication.

If you've ever felt exhausted from trying to force results, this episode will challenge you to discover how slowing down may actually be the fastest path to growth.

Three Topics Discussed

Why community, presence, and generosity create lasting success
How Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) improves communication and leadership
The power of inner stillness and the "60-Second Shift" for overcoming challenges.

Three Key Takeaways from Cecil McIntosh

Lasting success begins with inner alignment rather than external achievement.
Listening to your inner wisdom often leads to better decisions than reacting from fear or pressure.
Business growth and personal growth are not separate—they strengthen one another.

Episode Summary

Alexei Musienko, entrepreneur, bestselling author, and relationship strategist, sits down with Jennie to explore how meaningful relationships can transform your business, mindset, and future. Alexei shares his journey from building successful companies to overcoming personal struggles, including depression and burnout, and reveals how the concept of being "one relationship away" became the foundation of his life's work. Together, they discuss intentional networking, creating a vision for your future, and aligning your time and resources with the life you truly want to build.

Three Topics Discussed

How a single relationship can create opportunities, breakthroughs, and life-changing momentum.
Matching your calendar to your dreams to ensure business growth and success.
Leveraging podcasts, video books, and speaking gigs to create value-driven content that builds trust and attracts opportunities.

Three Key Takeaways from Alexei Musienko

The right relationship can dramatically accelerate your growth, create new opportunities, and help you achieve goals that would take much longer on your own.
If your time and money aren't being invested in your goals, your results won't align with your vision. Growth requires intentional investment of both resources.

jennie@whatyouneedtogrow.com (Jennie Bellinger, CPC) — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

What if the biggest thing holding you back in business… isn’t strategy—but energy?

In this powerful conversation, Fabienne Marneau shares how unseen ancestral patterns, emotional blocks, and energetic misalignment can quietly sabotage success. Jennie and Fabienne explore how clearing these hidden influences can unlock confidence, clarity, and true business growth—revealing that success starts from within.

Three Topics Discussed

How ancestral patterns and unresolved emotional blocks impact personal and business success
The connection between healing, self-alignment, and sustainable business growth
Practical ways to clear energetic blocks and reprogram limiting beliefs

Three Key Takeaways from Fabienne Marneau

Your business reflects you. Growth in business starts with internal healing, alignment, and self-awareness.
Not all limitations are yours. Many beliefs around money, success, and confidence can be inherited and unconsciously carried until identified and cleared.
Healing can be fast—but reprogramming takes time. Real transformation happens through consistent work to replace old patterns with empowering habits and beliefs.

Brian Arbor: Why You’re Still Stuck — The Truth About Trauma & Success

jennie@whatyouneedtogrow.com (Jennie Bellinger, CPC) — Wed, 20 May 2026 12:43:55 +0000

Three Topics Discussed

The hidden impact of trauma on entrepreneurship
Authenticity, identity, and self-expression in business
Healing vs. coping: why mindset work isn’t enough

Three Key Takeaways from Brian Arbor

You can’t outwork unhealed trauma. Personal development can mask deeper wounds—but it doesn’t replace true healing.
Healing requires safe spaces and real conversations. Growth accelerated for Brian when he stopped isolating and started sharing.
Build systems for who you are—not who you think you should be. Sustainable success comes from working with your reality, not against it.

Michelle G LeBlanc: Why You Keep Hitting the Same Income Ceiling and How to Break It

jennie@whatyouneedtogrow.com (Jennie Bellinger, Michelle G LeBlanc) — Thu, 5 Mar 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Three Topics Discussed

The role of the Akashic Records in uncovering subconscious money blocks
How the nervous system limits your capacity to receive wealth
Ancestral and subconscious self-sabotage patterns affecting business and visibility

Three Key Takeaways from Michelle G. Leblanc

Your nervous system sets your financial ceiling. If it cannot safely hold more success, you will subconsciously sabotage it.
Money blocks aren’t just mindset — they can be ancestral, energetic, or tied to subconscious vows.
Awareness is the first step. Notice where you are accelerating with one foot on the brake.

Michael Babcock: Protect Your Business Assets for Growth

jennie@whatyouneedtogrow.com (Jennie Bellinger, Michael Babcock, Mike Babcock) — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 09:00:00 +0000

Topics Covered

Insurance Essentials for Startups
- Why new businesses pay higher premiums for the first three years, the importance of building clean loss history, and how to budget for insurance costs when every penny counts.
Scaling Your Business with Insurance Strategy
- Understanding insurance audits, the critical importance of keeping your agent informed during growth phases, and how to avoid surprise audit bills that can disrupt cash flow.
Choosing the Right Insurance Partner
- The difference between insurance brokers and captive agents, why having a trusted advisor matters more than a 1-800 number, and how the right relationship can save you time, money, and headaches.

3 Key Takeaways

Get Insurance Early, Even When It Hurts
- Startup insurance is more expensive, but building 2-3 years of clean loss history gives you significantly more bargaining power and flexibility with carriers. Start as soon as you launch your business to begin building that track record.
Your Insurance Agent Should Be on Speed Dial
- Don't wait for annual renewals. When you're scaling and making significant changes (hiring employees, increasing sales, expanding operations), call your agent immediately for midterm endorsements. This prevents massive surprise audit bills at year-end.
Find Your Broker and Let Them Run
- Independent insurance brokers can shop multiple carriers on your behalf, unlike captive agents tied to one company. Find a broker you trust through referrals from other successful business owners, then build a long-term relationship where they know your business inside and out.

Virginia Muzquiz: Growth Through Connections

Thu, 29 Jan 2026 03:20:47 +0000

Episode Summary

What if growing your business didn't require more cold calls, complicated funnels, or pouring money into paid advertising—but instead required you to become more intentional about the relationships you already have?

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger welcomes her longtime mentor, coach, and friend Virginia Muzquiz, founder and CEO of Master Connectors Incorporated and known as the Referral Diva. Virginia shares how she went from academia and education into becoming an expert in relationship-based business growth, including how intentional connections helped grow a business from virtually no presence to $2.5 million in annual revenue.

Virginia breaks down some of the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when networking, from "shotgun marketing" to showing up without a plan and treating every connection like a potential customer. She and Jennie also go deeper into the personal side of entrepreneurship—choosing aligned clients and partners, taking responsibility for your growth, learning to reinvent yourself as your life changes, and building a business that actually fits the person you've become.

Three Topics Discussed

The Origin of "The Referral Diva": Virginia shares the entertaining story of how she earned her moniker while working with a branding agency
The Three Fatal Networking Mistakes: Virginia breaks down the biggest errors entrepreneurs make when networking
Personal Growth Through Crisis: Virginia opens up about her battle with Guillain-Barré syndrome, losing executive function, and how that experience led to profound personal transformation and the concept of "turning towards yourself."

Three Key Takeaways from Virginia Muzquiz

Quality Over Quantity in Connections: Don't treat everyone as a potential client. Distinguish between clients, connectors, and referral partners. Most people should be in your referral pipeline, not your sales pipeline.
Alignment is Everything: Filter for psychographics and values alignment, not just demographics. Misaligned clients and partners cost you sleep, energy, and money. The right people will pay premium prices and cause fewer problems.
Networking Requires a System: Successful networking isn't about attending events and hoping for the best. You need a deliberate plan: know who you want to meet, why you want to meet them, what you have to offer, and how to nurture different types of relationships.

"Nobody ever says marathons are impossible. I can't run a marathon today... but they're not impossible. So when people say networking doesn't work, really what you're saying is networking for results is impossible. People are doing it. So it's not impossible." -Virginia Muzquiz

Connect with Virginia Muzquiz

Founder & CEO, Master Connectors Incorporated | The Referral Diva

Virginia helps entrepreneurs and small business owners build businesses through authentic relationships, intentional networking, strategic partnerships, and referrals. Her Referral Alchemy approach focuses on helping entrepreneurs leverage the relationships they already have rather than relying exclusively on cold outreach, complicated funnels, or paid traffic.

Episode Summary

In this episode of What You Need to Grow, Jennie Bellinger interviews Anne Casey of Currency Trade System about how she used currency trading to create an additional income stream that helped pay for her daughters' college educations. Anne explains how day trading differs from traditional investing, how beginners can get started with a simple, guided trading system, and why education and risk management are essential. She also discusses the flexibility of trading, automated trading options, and how entrepreneurs and sales professionals can use trading to build long-term financial growth without spending hours watching the markets.

Three Topics Discussed

Anne’s journey into day trading, including her motivation to help her daughters graduate college debt-free and her transition from sales to trading and representing a trader education program.
The basics of currency trading versus stock trading, how Anne’s company supports new traders, and the tools and education provided to help people start trading with confidence.
The accessibility and flexibility of day trading, including automation, demo accounts, and the supportive community and resources available for both beginners and those seeking deeper understanding.

Three Key Takeaways from Anne Casey

Day trading, especially in currency pairs, can be a practical and flexible way to generate income, even for those with no prior experience—thanks to education programs, demo accounts, and automation tools.
Consistency and risk management (like using stop-loss orders) are crucial for success in trading, and Anne’s program emphasizes education and support to help members trade confidently and safely.
The opportunity to grow financially and personally is accessible to a wide range of people, from young adults seeking alternatives to traditional 9-to-5 jobs to business owners and sales professionals looking for more stable income streams.

“We are helping people build an understanding of what trading is about. Currency trading is a $6 trillion per day market... I think it’s so important for everyone to have an understanding of what’s happening and what the opportunities are there.” - Anne Casey

Connect with Anne Casey

Anne’s work has always been centered around helping people feel more confident—whether through trading, education, or personal development.

Shiraz Baboo: Why New Year New You Doesn't Work

Fri, 26 Dec 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

Imagine trying to grow, but there's an invisible box around you. You see that grow is happening around you, but you can't seem to get outside this box that you can't even see where the limits are. Shiraz Baboo can not only find the limits of the invisible box, but also help you take them away.

Three Topics Discussed

Reality Intervention & Energetic Magic: Shiraz explains his journey from life coach to “reality interventionist,” helping people break free from unconscious addictions to struggle, lack, and self-sabotage. He shares how energetic magic works at the intersection of quantum physics and mindset.
Addiction to Struggle and the Power of Replacement: The conversation explores how people unconsciously create problems to feel valuable, and how replacing the addiction to struggle with a focus on ease can transform one’s life and business.
Personal Growth as the Foundation for Business Success: Shiraz and Jennie discuss how most business obstacles are rooted in personal issues, and how clearing personal blocks can lead to rapid business growth.

Three Key Takeaways from Shiraz Baboo

Your identity shapes your reality: If you see yourself as a “problem solver,” you may unconsciously create problems to solve. Shifting your identity can break this cycle.
Replacing struggle with ease is possible: By consciously rewarding yourself for ease and success, you can rewire your mind to seek positive outcomes instead of struggle.
Personal transformation drives business results: Addressing personal fears and emotional blocks can unlock new levels of business success, often more effectively than changing strategies or tactics.

“Every consistent problem in your life is the solution for an emotional problem you’re not looking at. So when you figure out what that emotional problem is and solve it, the physical problem will go away—sometimes overnight.” - Shiraz Baboo

What happens when you stop ignoring your intuition and start trusting yourself?

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger sits down with Danielle Thompson, founder of Goldspun Support, to explore how burnout became the catalyst for building a thriving six-figure business.

The role of intuition in making better business decisions.

Jay Fairbrother: How Masterminds Helped Him Grow

jennie@whatyouneedtogrow.com (Jay Fairbrother, Badass Podcast Mastery) — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 17:00:00 +0000

Episode Summary

What if the fastest way to grow your business wasn't another course or marketing strategy—but the right community?

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger welcomes entrepreneur and mastermind expert Jay Fairbrother, founder of 6 Figure Masterminds and widely known as The Mastermind Guy. After building and selling multiple seven-figure businesses, Jay lost everything during the 2008 financial crisis. Through that difficult season, one mastermind group became the support system that helped him rebuild both his business and his life.

Jennie and Jay explore why authentic relationships are becoming more valuable than information, how masterminds differ from traditional coaching programs, and why creating meaningful human connection may be one of the greatest competitive advantages entrepreneurs have today. Whether you're building a coaching business or simply looking for deeper support as an entrepreneur, this conversation offers a fresh perspective on sustainable success and transformational leadership.

Three Topics Discussed

The difference between masterminds, group coaching, and online courses.
Why authentic community and human connection are becoming increasingly valuable in the age of AI.
Creating high-ticket mastermind programs that generate recurring revenue while transforming clients' lives.

Three Key Takeaways from Jay Fairbrother

The right community can accelerate both your business growth and your personal transformation in ways that no course or book can accomplish alone.
Sustainable success comes from becoming the person your business needs you to be, not simply learning more strategies.
Long-term, relationship-driven business models create deeper impact, more recurring revenue, and stronger client outcomes than transactional programs.

"The sooner you figure out a longer-term, high-ticket program for your business, the sooner you'll turn it from a hobby into a real business." - Jay Fairbrother

In this kickoff episode, host Jennie Bellinger shares the story behind the podcast, her own entrepreneurial journey, and why she believes personal growth and business growth are inseparable. From being a middle school science teacher to becoming a nationally recognized business coach and host of one of the world's top-ranked network marketing podcasts, Jennie explains the lessons she learned through setbacks, reinvention, and continuous learning.

You'll also discover what you can expect from future episodes, who this podcast is designed to serve, and why every Wednesday and Friday you'll walk away with practical strategies, fresh perspectives, and actionable insights to help you grow yourself—and your business. Whether you're launching your first business or preparing to scale, this podcast is here to shorten your learning curve and connect you with the people, ideas, and tools you need to reach your next level.

Three Topics Discussed

Why personal growth is the foundation of sustainable business growth.
The lessons learned through career setbacks, resilience, and reinvention.
How taking consistent action on what you learn accelerates personal and professional success.

Three Key Takeaways from Jennie B

Your business can only grow to the extent that you are willing to grow personally. Investing in yourself is one of the highest-return investments you can make.
Knowledge alone doesn't create results—implementation does. Consistently applying what you learn is where transformation happens.
Growth isn't a destination. It's an ongoing process of developing new skills, expanding your mindset, and becoming the leader your business needs.
