Welcome to The Pursuit Podcast, an elevated room for serious female founders. I'm your host, Amanda Moffett. I created this space for women who are building meaningful businesses - the kind that require courage, leadership, and a vision bigger than just making money. If you're a founder who's already experienced success, but you know you're being called to build something more - a stronger team, a more mature company, a business that can grow beyond you - you're in the right place. Here we talk about the deeper work of entrepreneurship: building exceptional teams, creating structure that supports real growth, and leading businesses that are both profitable and purposeful. This is for the women quietly building remarkable things. Let's begin.

    #148: The Job Description That's Costing You Good Candidates

    Your job description might be the reason you're not attracting A-players, and it's probably happening before anyone even clicks "Apply." Generic phrases like "wears many hats" or a long list of disconnected tasks don't inspire exceptional people - they cause them to keep scrolling. The best candidates want clarity, and they also want to immediately recognize that this role was written for someone like them. In today's episode, we're breaking down the biggest mistakes I see in job descriptions, how to write one that attracts your ideal hire within the first 10 seconds, and why the right words can completely transform the quality of applicants you receive. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MISSION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

    #147: Mom Guilt Is Lying To You About Your Business

    Mom guilt has a way of whispering things and keeping you stuck. It tells you that if you were a really good mom, you would be able to do it all yourself. That needing childcare, a house cleaner, an assistant, or support in your business somehow means you're choosing work over your children. As a mom of three kids under five while running multiple businesses, I know that voice intimately. I've wrestled with it too. But I've also learned that one of the biggest mindset shifts I've ever made wasn't about business strategy, it was realizing that mom guilt had been lying to me. In today's episode, I want to unpack one of the most common lies working moms believe, why it's keeping so many female founders overwhelmed, and how viewing support differently can completely change both your business and your motherhood. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MISSION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

    #146: How to Fire Someone and Still Sleep at Night

    Firing someone is one of the hardest conversations you'll ever have as a leader. Most founders lose sleep over it for days, replay every possible outcome in their head, and wonder if they're making the right decision. Then when the conversation finally happens, they over-explain, apologize too much, or talk in circles because they're trying to make it hurt less. But clarity is actually the kindest thing you can give someone in that moment. Today, I'll show you exactly how to handle a termination conversation with confidence, compassion, and professionalism, so you can lead well, treat people with dignity, and still sleep at night afterward. ______________________________________________________ FREE RESOURCES - DOWNLOAD NOW FOR RESULTS IN 10-MIN OR LESS! ↓   25 Profit-Focused Interview Questions To Guarantee You An A-Player ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/25questions   5 ChatGPT Prompts Exposing What's Bottlenecking Your Growth ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/5prompts   The Team Decision Playbook: So Nothing Lands Back on Your Desk ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/playbook   The Role Ready Builder - ChatGPT ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/rolereadygpt   Your First Game-Changing Hire Masterclass ✨ https://pursuit.kartra.com/page/training     ______________________________________________________ LET'S HANG OUT ON SOCIAL ↓   Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hirewithamanda/   Pinterest https://www.pinterest.com/hirewithamanda/   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100078424982186   Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@hirewithamanda ______________________________________________________ ABOUT OUR MISSION ↓   Each week on the podcast, Amanda shares clear, strategic conversations for serious women founders building companies bigger than themselves.   These episodes are designed to help you think like a CEO, build powerful team infrastructure, and create a business that runs on leadership and systems - not constant founder effort.   If you're a woman building something meaningful and want a company that is both profitable and well-led, you're in the right place.   Come say hello on Instagram @hirewithamanda - Amanda loves connecting with founders who are building bold visions and strong teams.   ______________________________________________________ QUICK QUESTION, IT'D MEAN THE WORLD TO ME! ↓   Would you mind taking one moment to leave us a review?   Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   It would genuinely mean the absolute world to us if you told us what you love about the show :)   Thank you so much for tuning in each week and for being part of Amanda's community!   ______________________________________________________ TUNE IN ↓   Listen on Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pursuit-podcast/id1727602219   Listen on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4gbYFqQqlFtOdWqACn2vM2?si=JedHjnCJT8CCYVoLhdEeiQ

    #145: What To Do When Your New Hire Is Struggling But You're Not Sure If It's Them or Your Onboarding

    Nothing makes a founder question themselves faster than a new hire who's struggling. Your mind starts racing. Did I hire the wrong person? Did I miss red flags? Do I need to let them go already? But before you decide they're the problem, there's one uncomfortable question you have to ask yourself first: Did I actually set them up to succeed? Today, we're going to walk through how to tell the difference between a hiring mistake and an onboarding mistake, because those are two very different problems, and the way you handle them could determine whether you lose a great employee far too soon.

    #144: How To Write an Offer Letter That Gets a Yes Without Overpaying

    Most founders spend weeks perfecting the interview process... and then throw together the offer letter in five minutes. They assume the hard part is over because they've already chosen their candidate. But your offer letter isn't just paperwork, it's your final chance to convince an A-player that your company is where they belong. Today, I'm going to show you how to write an offer letter that gets enthusiastic "yes" responses, makes top candidates excited to join your team, and helps you avoid overpaying just because you're afraid of losing a great hire.

    #143: Should You Hire Part-Time or Full-Time First? Here's How To Know

    One of the biggest hiring questions founders wrestle with is this: "Should my first hire be part-time or full-time?" And honestly, this decision keeps a lot of people stuck way longer than they need to be. Most founders automatically lean toward part-time because it feels safer financially… but safer doesn't always mean smarter for the season of business you're actually in. In this episode, we're breaking down how to make this decision strategically instead of emotionally. We're talking about the real signals that point toward part-time versus full-time, the hidden ways under-hiring can actually keep you overwhelmed, and how to know if you're trying to squeeze a full-time need into a part-time budget. We'll also get into the hybrid approach most founders never think about, how to structure either option well, and the honest questions you need to ask yourself before bringing someone on.

    #142: How To Build a Simple Training System So You're Not Re-Explaining Everything Constantly

    If you feel like you're constantly repeating yourself in your business… re-answering the same questions, retraining the same tasks, and explaining the same processes over and over again to every new person who joins your team… this episode is going to feel like a giant exhale. A lot of founders assume they have a "people problem" when really, they have a documentation problem. Everything lives in their head, nothing is written down, and every new hire accidentally becomes dependent on them for every little thing. In this episode, we're talking about how to build a simple, realistic training system that actually works in a real business without needing some giant corporate HR setup. I'm walking you through how to create easy SOPs, where to store them, how to organize them so your team actually uses them, and the exact mindset shift that makes onboarding feel 10x less chaotic.

    #141: Signs Your Business Is Actually Ready To Hire (Even If It Doesn't Feel Like It)

    I wish we could all wake up one day and magically "feel ready" to hire… but that moment almost never comes the way people expect it to. Instead, what usually happens is you spend months (sometimes years) carrying way more than you should, convincing yourself you just need to push a little harder, get a little more organized, or wait for the "perfect" timing. Meanwhile, you're drowning in the background. In this episode, we're talking about the real signs your business is actually ready to hire, even if your emotions are telling you otherwise. We're getting into the revenue signals, the capacity bottlenecks, the clarity indicators, and the difference between legitimate unreadiness versus fear disguised as logic.
