    73: The Best Marketing Strategy is the One You'll Actually Do

    In this behind-the-scenes episode, Emylee shares what's been happening in her business over the last few months—from redesigning her website and refreshing her brand presence to testing new visibility strategies and completely rebuilding Sold Out Services. She breaks down what's working, what's not (looking at you, LinkedIn), and how she's making decisions based on alignment, results, and sustainability rather than what she thinks she should be doing. Plus, she gives an inside look at the new SOS framework, why simplicity creates better results, and the lessons she's learning about authority, visibility, and staying in your own lane as your business evolves.

    70: You Can’t Automate Your Way Into Nothing Ever Going Wrong with Rachael Mueller

    In this episode, I’m joined by Rachael to talk about the difference between automation that actually supports your business… and automation that just creates more complexity. We get into productizing service delivery, building systems that free up more time for client work (not less), the trap of over-customization, AI note takers, ClickUp experiments, and why you cannot automate your way into nothing ever going wrong. Plus: boundaries, slow nomad life, and designing a business that actually supports the way you want to live.
