    3 Ways to Build a Powerhouse Team

    → Find our latest hiring opportunities at https://www.jasminestar.com/careers. ← ↓ A consultant recently told me she was “wildly impressed” with our hiring process. Instead of celebrating… I panicked. Because the truth is, we didn’t build a polished corporate system. We built it through trial, error, and hard lessons. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how we hire — and why it works. Every business needs both. Most founders just don’t know which one they’re actually hiring. I walk you through our three hiring pathways: • Hiring from within (promote based on ability, not loyalty) • Hiring from your personal brand (yes, your content attracts teammates) • Hiring with a recruiter (and how to give feedback that actually works) Plus, the leadership truth that changed everything for me: The person you want to hire might not be able to find you… because you’re not yet the leader who can contain them. Scaling isn’t just systems. It’s people. And the right people will take you further than any funnel ever could.

    What Joining My First Mastermind Taught Me (and Why It Changed Everything)

    Have you ever looked around a room full of successful entrepreneurs and thought, “I don’t belong here”? That moment hit hard the first time I considered joining a mastermind — and saw the $25,000 price tag. In this episode, I’m sharing the raw truth of investing in my very first mastermind: the doubts, the imposter syndrome, and the terrifying leap that turned into a $255,000 launch just six months later. At the time, I had never invested in peer coaching or business education. I had built my company solo — no courses, no mentors, no community. But I knew something had to change. What happened next challenged everything: my beliefs about money, my mindset around growth, and what’s actually possible when you're the least experienced person in the room. If you've ever questioned whether masterminds are worth it, felt intimidated in high-level rooms, or wondered if you're ready to invest in yourself… this episode is your permission slip.

    How Women Reclaim Power Through Money with Financial Feminist, Tori Dunlap

    If you’ve ever thought, “I want to leave this job… start the thing… pivot… but I can’t afford to,” this episode is for you. I’m joined by the Financial Feminist herself, Tori Dunlap, founder of Her First $100K. After graduating with degrees in communication and theater, Tori landed in a toxic corporate job she couldn’t afford to leave. That’s when everything shifted. She realized money wasn’t about being rich — it was about having options. So she set a bold goal: save $100,000 by age 25. What started with a $20 domain, three blog posts, and $49 coaching sessions at Starbucks eventually became a movement empowering women to take control of their finances. But here’s the truth: the $100K wasn’t the win. Freedom was. In this episode, we talk about financial autonomy, documenting your journey for accountability, and why building revenue isn’t about validation — it’s about choice.

    3 Rules I Follow To Get Real Results In Business And Life

    I didn’t want to talk about this… but here we are. At the start of the year, I joined a new fitness program—something totally outside my comfort zone. And I wanted to quit four times in the first week alone. But I didn’t.

Because the truth is: everything you want comes with a cost. Are you willing to pay it? I’m sharing a mindset framework that’s helped me stay committed through discomfort, and how it applies whether you're trying to get in shape or build a 7-figure business.

    The Truth About Scaling, Criticism, and Letting Go with Leila Hormozi

    If you’ve ever grown so fast you barely recognized yourself… this one is for you. In this conversation with Leila Hormozi, we go behind the curtain of rapid business growth — beyond revenue, beyond strategy — and into identity. We talk about criticism, visibility, filtering yourself to avoid judgment, and what really happens when your business grows faster than your comfort zone. From the outside, explosive growth can look like a highlight reel. From the inside? It can feel unfamiliar, uncomfortable, and even painful. Leila shares why “the more you want to grow, the more you’re going to be in pain” — not because growth is bad, but because it demands an identity shift. If you’re a 7-figure founder scaling higher… Hiring leaders for the first time… Outgrowing your old systems… Or white-knuckling your next level… You’re not broken. You’re evolving. This episode is your permission slip to embrace the stretch — and lead with honesty along the way.
