They gave you the roadmap to success. You followed it. It worked. And something still felt off. You are not broken. You are a Black Sheep. The Black Sheep Network is for people who never fully fit inside the approved version of success. The ones told to tone it down, follow the script, stay in their lane. Hosted by Aleasha Bahr, creator of Black Sheep Sales, this podcast features real conversations with disruptors who stopped performing and started building on their own terms. They did not pivot. They chose themselves. This is where mindset shifts, boundaries, and unconventional strategies lead to real results without self-abandonment. 🎙️ The Black Sheep Network Where genius thrives because we stopped following the crowd.

    How to Build a Life You Don’t Need a Vacation From with Stephen Courson

    One of the biggest myths about productivity is that better time management will fix burnout. But what if time isn’t the real problem? In this episode of The Black Sheep Network podcast, I sit down with Stephen Courson to unpack why so many high-performing, driven people still feel overwhelmed, distracted, and exhausted - even when they’re doing “everything right.” The issue isn’t discipline or effort. It’s the lack of a system that protects your most valuable resources. Stephen introduces his TEAMS method - Time, Energy, Attention, Money, and Soul. It’s a very Black Sheep approach to high performance that has nothing to do with doing more.  He explains how to design your days, work, and life in a way that actually supports well-being, focus, and long-term success. In this episode, you will discover: Why traditional time management and productivity hacks don’t work What’s really draining your energy and attention (and how to spot it fast) Why working harder or more efficiently won’t fix the wrong goal The difference between managing your life and intentionally designing it Why alignment and sustainability matter more than any revenue milestone If you’ve reached that uncomfortable middle ground where life looks “fine” on paper but feels flat, heavy, or uninspiring - this conversation will land. And if you want to go deeper into Stephen’s frameworks, tools, and real-world strategies for building a life around what you value (not just what’s expected), explore his podcast and resources at www.lifebuilder.co  - a practical life-design toolkit for high-functioning humans who are tired of being tired. 03:18 – The real cost of overinvesting in work 07:12 – The TEAMS framework explained 11:46 – How Parkinson’s Law quietly steals your time 16:10 – Why high achievers stop dreaming 20:34 – Attention is your most valuable asset 24:50 – How to audit where your life is actually going 29:15 – Success vs fulfillment 33:55 – Living on autopilot is a silent choice 38:25 – Redefining wealth beyond money 43:20 – Making intentional investments in your life 47:45 – Final reflections on fulfillment and purpose #BlackSheepNetwork #LifestyleDesign #TimeFreedom #BurnoutRecovery #EnergyManagement  #IntentionalLiving #HighPerformerProblems #LiveOnPurpose #WorkLifeDesign #TEAMSMethod #EntrepreneurLife #PerformanceWithoutBurnout #ConsciousSuccess  #TimeManagementTips #LifeOptimization #LeadershipGrowth #PurposeOverPressure  #AttentionIsCurrency #LifeBuilder Connect With Aleasha: Website - https://aleashabahr.com/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/aleashabahr/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@aleashabahr

    AI-Free Customer Support Business with Andrew Bolton & Kareesha Carter

    If you’ve ever been told your idea was too risky, too emotional, or “would never work,” this episode of The Black Sheep Network is your reminder to trust your instincts.   I sat down with Andrew Bolton, founder of Tech Rescue, and Kareesha Carter, CEO of The Bougie Executive Agency, to break down how a so-called bad idea became a nearly $50M company built on human connection, not automation.   Andrew built Tech Rescue after watching his grandmother struggle to get basic tech help. Instead of bots, scripts, or outsourced call centers, he chose real people and real support. Even when everyone told him it would fail.   Kareesha came in to shape the brand’s voice and positioning, helping Tech Rescue scale quickly by prioritizing emotion, clarity, and trust over empty optimization tactics.   In this episode, we unpack: Why AI and over-optimization can actively damage trust How to scale without losing your values or your voice Why execution with integrity matters more than ideas What actually makes people trust a brand Why emotional connection drives sustainable growth   If you want a playbook to build something meaningful without selling out or stripping out the soul, press play.   Learn more about Tech Rescue at www.techrescue.io   And if you want marketing that delivers real ROI without manipulation, connect with Kareesha at www.kareeshacarter.com   🎙 The Black Sheep Network Where genius thrives because we stopped following the crowd.   #BlackSheepNetwork #TechRescue #StartupGrowth #HumanFirstTech #DisruptiveEntrepreneurs #RealConnectionsMatter #MarketingWithHeart #SeniorTechSupport #SalesWithSoul #AntiAIStartup #BlackSheepBusiness #FounderStories #FemaleFounders #SalesStrategy #BusinessPodcast

    Why the U.S. Healthcare System Is Failing and How You Can Opt Out with Jennifer Gligoric

    Let’s talk about the train wreck so many Americans are dealing with right now: the U.S. healthcare system is broken. Health insurance premiums are skyrocketing. Deductibles are impossible to navigate. Doctors are buried in bureaucracy. And despite spending more than any other country on healthcare, people are becoming less healthy.  In this episode of The Black Sheep Network, I sat down with Jennifer Gligoric - entrepreneur, healthcare disruptor, and one of the sharpest thinkers I know - to unpack how things got so wrong with healthcare in America, and how patients and providers can finally take their power back. We talk about what the system doesn’t want you to question - and what becomes possible when you do. In this episode, you’ll discover: Why the current health insurance model often keeps people sick instead of well What’s actually driving rising healthcare costs and insurance premiums How physicians are being pushed out of medicine by red tape and burnout Rapidly growing alternative models  What happens when you remove middlemen and put patients first How individuals and families can save thousands each year while getting better care This conversation is bold, honest, and deeply informative - and it may free up at least a few thousand dollars.  Because when a system is broken beyond repair, the real solution isn’t fixing it - it’s building something better. If this episode sparks a “there has to be another way” moment for you, you’ll want to keep listening to Jennifer.  Her podcast and platform, The Super Clinic Project, dives even deeper into how healthcare can actually work, for patients and providers, when we stop accepting the status quo: https://superclinicproject.com/  Click here for the healthcare alternatives mentioned. #BlackSheepNetwork #BlackSheepMindset #DisruptTheSystem #HealthcareCrisis #HealthcareReform #USHealthcare #HealthInsurance #HealthcareCosts #HealthcareSystem #InsuranceProblems #HealthcareExpenses #MedicalDebt #ConciergeMedicine #HealthAutonomy #MedicalEntrepreneurs

    My Black Sheep Story

    They told me to play nice, smile more and stop rocking the boat. I tried… for a while. But I’ve always known I was different - and eventually, I realized that was the whole point. In the first episode The Black Sheep Network, I share the real, raw origin story behind becoming the “Black Sheep” - in my family, in corporate America, and in nearly every space where I was told to tone myself down.  This episode dives deep into the moments that shaped me, the traits I once felt ashamed of, and how those very qualities became my greatest strengths. If you’ve ever been told you’re too intense, too honest, too emotional, or too much - or if traditional success, hustle culture, and cookie-cutter sales advice never quite fit - you are not alone. The Black Sheep Network was created for people like us: The disruptors. The rule benders. The ones who care more about impact than fitting into broken systems. The ones who’ve built success on their own terms - even when it makes other people uncomfortable. And if you’re still figuring it out? You belong here too. This episode tells the story behind Black Sheep Sales, the philosophy behind this podcast, and why doing business or life “the normal way” never worked for me - or for so many others. If you’re a disruptor, an outlier, a purpose-driven entrepreneur, or someone who’s tired of pretending just to succeed… Welcome home. #BlackSheepNetwork #OriginStory #PodcastLaunch #PurposeDrivenBusiness #EntrepreneurMindset #BlackSheepSales #ModernSales #SalesLeadership #ValuesDrivenSales #HumanCenteredSales #MisfitMindset #RuleBreaker #BusinessPodcast #LeadershipPodcast #SalesWithIntegrity
