    The 5 Job Interview Questions You Should Ask (or Prepare to Be Asked)

    I've hired the wrong person more times than I want to admit. They aced every test, passed every check, and showed up as a completely different human being.

    How To Fix A Sh*t Culture Before It Kills Your Business

    Your culture is broken. And it's your fault. Not your managers. Not the people you hired. You. Either you created it, or you stood by while someone else did. The fish rots from the head down, and you're the head. But here's the good news: if it's your fault, it's also within your power to fix it. ---------- Want a VA who actually makes your business run better (not just “help a bit”)?

    How To Actually Start Using AI In Your Business

    Everyone's talking about AI, but when I ask most business owners what they actually want it to do, it falls apart pretty fast. In this episode, I'm sharing exactly how I've implemented AI inside my own offshoring agency, Linked VA, what's working, what isn't, and where I think this is all heading. I'll walk you through the 3-stage framework I use myself, from building a GPT library, to setting up AI automations, to knowing when (and whether) to build a custom AI portal. Whether you're a solopreneur or running a team, I'm cutting through the hype and giving you a clear, honest starting point. ---------- Want a VA who actually makes your business run better (not just “help a bit”)?

    How to Stop Yourself Saying ‘Filler Words’

    Ever notice you say the same filler word on repeat, and once you do, you can't un-hear it? That's exactly what happened to me when I listened back to one of my own podcast episodes. I was sick, pushing through, and the word "right" was everywhere. Now I can't stop noticing it.  And honestly? That discomfort is the whole point. In this episode, we're diving into filler words: why we use them, why we each gravitate toward our specific ones, and what it actually costs us when we can't stop. I'm working through this in real time alongside you, so yes, you will hear me say "right" in this very episode.

    Why Some Clients Are Not Worth Saving

    He made three of my VAs cry. So I fired him.  Some clients aren't difficult, they're destructive. And the longer you keep them, the more they cost you: your best people, your culture, your sanity, and your time. In this episode, I'm sharing the real stories behind why I've walked away from paying clients, and why it was the best business decision I ever made. Not every dollar is a good dollar. Some clients cost you far more than they ever pay. If you've been sitting on the fence about firing someone, this episode is the push you need.  ---------- Want a VA who actually makes your business run better (not just “help a bit”)?

    The Manosphere Is A Business And Business Is Booming

    Have you watched the Manosphere documentary on Netflix? Louis Theroux put it all on screen, the rhetoric, the manipulation, the business model built on convincing young men they were born worthless. And the loudest voices in entrepreneurship will tell you dominance and ruthlessness are the price of success. But look at Tony Robbins, the wealth, the empire, the respect. Built entirely on one belief: you are capable of more than you think. Your business model is a reflection of what you believe about people. The best CEOs don't build on fear. They build on belief. That's not soft. That's strategy. ---------- Want a VA who actually makes your business run better (not just “help a bit”)?
