    So Many Plates... So Little Time? Is it too late to start something new? with Shonna Jordan

    So many plates. So little time. And that quiet question we don’t always say out loud: Is it too late to start something new? In this episode, Kathi welcomes longtime friend and marketing expert Shonna Jordan for a wide-ranging conversation about business, networking, resilience, and reinvention. Shonna is the founder of the Good Old Gals networking group and the force behind Jordan & Jordan Consulting, where she helps business owners get clear, compelling, and confident in their messaging. They talk about what makes networking actually work, why showing up once isn’t enough, and how consistency and follow-up make a bigger difference than people expect. Shonna also shares how her attention to detail and creative thinking shape everything she builds — even when it looks effortless from the outside. The conversation goes deeper into real life, too. Shonna reflects on a season when multiple challenges hit at once, what helped her get through it, and how gratitude, support, and perspective played a role in her ability to keep moving forward. This episode is for anyone who feels pulled in a dozen directions, wonders if they’ve missed their moment, or needs reassurance that it’s never too late to evolve — personally or professionally. ✨ Plus, Shonna is offering listeners a free 20-minute, no-cost, no-strings session (while it lasts).  Learn more at Shonnajordan.com Support the show

    How to Make Failures Rule with Andrew Thorp King

    In this episode, Kathi sits down with Andrew Thorp King, author of Failure Rules: The Five Rules of Failure for Entrepreneurs, Creatives, and Authentics. Andrew is a FinTech banker, speaker, podcaster, and lifelong entrepreneur whose story proves that setbacks do not have to be the end of the road. Andrew shares how he built two independent record labels, navigated the unpredictable world of entrepreneurship, and learned how to balance money and meaning over time. He also opens up about a season where a business breakup and a personal divorce hit at the same time and left him rebuilding from scratch. Instead of letting that season define him, he used it as the space to reinvent and create what came next. This conversation is about separating your identity from failure, using empty space as fuel for reinvention, and building the systems and support that help you keep moving forward when life gets messy.

    How to find a business model that's simple AND effective with Ellen Finkelstein

    In this episode, Kathi talks with Ellen Finkelstein, an expert who teaches experts how to build simple, effective online businesses through better messaging, email marketing, and audience-building. Ellen shares how she started her career writing major tech books (including multiple editions translated into many languages), and how publishers pushed authors to build a “platform” through blogging and email lists. That shift helped Ellen realize the power of owning your audience and creating your own products. The conversation zooms in on what most experts miss when they start a business: they talk from their own perspective instead of their audience’s. Ellen breaks down how to identify your audience’s pain point, adjust your messaging so it connects, and create a free offer that attracts the right people. From there, she explains why email marketing is still one of the most important relationship-building tools for entrepreneurs. You’ll also hear a great systems-based lesson about documenting processes and building SOPs so your business can run smoothly, even when help changes.
