    Empowered Women Invest: Breaking Fear, Building Wealth, and Taking Control of Your Financial Future, with LaKiesha Tomlin

    In this episode, LaKiesha Tomlin, a former aerospace defense engineering leader, shares how she transformed her personal journey into investing into a mission to help others understand and participate in the stock market. Her interest was sparked during the 2008 financial crisis, and over several years she educated herself, overcame fear, and began investing with small, intentional steps. What started as a desire to better manage her own finances grew into a framework she now teaches—one rooted in consistency, practical learning, and building confidence through understanding rather than chasing quick results. The conversation explores the emotional and psychological barriers many professionals—especially women—face when approaching investing, from fear of losing money to believing they must "know everything" before starting. LaKiesha explains how simplifying complex concepts, committing just 30–60 minutes a day to learning, and focusing on clarity over fast profits can create lasting financial empowerment. She also emphasizes her philosophy of helping people become independent decision-makers, not lifelong followers, and reframing market shifts as opportunities to think strategically and build long-term confidence.

    The Human Advantage: How Trust and Intentional Systems Drive High-Performing Teams with Makayla Greathouse

    In this episode, Makayla Greathouse, founder of Elevate Intent, shares how her fractional head of people and HR advisory practice helps growing companies design intentional, high-performing people systems. Blending 15 years of HR experience with a decade of teaching yoga, she brings a unique perspective that merges operational excellence with mindfulness. She explains why trust is the foundation of healthy culture and scalable growth, and how companies must move beyond ad hoc processes to create clarity in onboarding, role expectations, and performance. Through her leadership "triangle" of autonomy, alignment, and accountability, Makayla outlines how intentional systems empower teams, strengthen culture, and drive meaningful business results. The conversation also explores authentic leadership, particularly for women navigating the workplace. Makayla highlights how traits like dependability and composure—often praised in women—can unintentionally create ceilings if they lead to silence or over-functioning instead of system redesign and healthy conflict. She shares practical tools like DISC and situational leadership to help leaders communicate more effectively while staying true to who they are. The episode closes with a powerful reminder of "The Human Advantage"—that while AI may accelerate output, it cannot replace trust, judgment, and human connection. For Makayla, an empowered woman is one who has the courage to show up fully and lead authentically in every space she occupies.

    Visibility Isn't Viral: How to Build Real Authority That Lasts Over Time with KJ Blattenbauer

    Join us for an insightful conversation with KJ Blattenbauer, a powerhouse publicist with nearly 30 years of experience helping "underdogs" and bold brands secure the recognition they deserve. In this episode, KJ discusses how effective visibility is not about chasing a viral moment, but about establishing a consistent, recognizable position where the right people understand your expertise. She reveals that many entrepreneurs struggle with a lack of confidence that is actually rooted in confusion over their positioning; once that clarity is achieved, authority and opportunities naturally follow. Discover how to build authority by leveraging your existing proof—such as awards and past results—and accessing "borrowed platforms" like podcasts and guest teaching. KJ emphasizes that women must proactively share their accolades to avoid doing a disservice to those who need their products or services. To help you get started, she shares valuable resources from Hearsay PR including "Headline Your Life" to find your brand story, a "Pitch Kit" for media outreach, and "PR Before Payroll" for building authority without a large budget. For those looking for a modern guide to building lasting authority, keep an eye out for KJ's upcoming book, Pitchworthy, arriving in January 2026.
