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.

    #152: You Don't Need More Hours, You Need a Hiring Plan

    If you've been telling yourself, "I'll hire once things slow down," this episode might completely change the way you think about growth. For years, I used to get frustrated every time someone said, "We all have the same 24 hours." Because we don't all have the same responsibilities. My life as a wife and mom of three little kids doesn't look anything like someone who's single with no children - and that's okay. The goal isn't to squeeze more into your day. It's to build a business that supports your actual life. In today's episode, we're talking about why staying busy is often the biggest sign it's time to hire, the simple questions that will tell you exactly what to delegate first, and how to know if your next hire can actually pay for themselves long before you bring them onto your team. ______________________________________________________ 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

    #151: The Season You're In Isn't The Season You'll Stay In

    What if the reason you feel behind isn't because you're failing... but because you're expecting yourself to perform like you're in a completely different season of life? So many ambitious women measure themselves against a version of themselves - or someone else - that simply doesn't exist anymore. They compare their newborn season to someone else's scaling season. Their survival season to someone else's launch season. And then they wonder why they feel exhausted, discouraged, and like they're somehow falling behind. As a mom who's built businesses through pregnancies, newborns, and raising three little ones under four, I've learned that every season asks something different of us. In today's episode, we're talking about how to match your business to the season you're actually in, why slowing down isn't the same as giving up, and how protecting the right things now will allow you to grow again when the time is right. ______________________________________________________ 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

    #150: Why Your A-Player Quit (And It Wasn't The Money)

    When an A-player quits, most business owners assume it came down to money, but the truth is, the resignation almost never starts the day they hand in their notice. It usually starts months earlier - with little signs that were easy to miss, difficult conversations that never happened, and a leader who genuinely believed everything was fine because no one had said otherwise. The reality is that great employees rarely leave out of nowhere. They leave after they've quietly disengaged. In today's episode, we're talking about the leadership mistakes that push your best people away, the warning signs you should never ignore, and the simple conversations that can help you keep exceptional employees before they ever start looking for the exit. ______________________________________________________ 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

    #149: Your Calendar Doesn't Lie: How to Take Charge of Your Time as a Busy CEO

    If I looked at your calendar right now, would it reflect the business and life you're trying to build... or the one that's slowly burning you out? Your calendar never lies and it reveals your priorities, your boundaries, and the places where you've unintentionally given everyone else ownership of your time. So many CEOs tell me they don't have enough hours in the day, but the real problem usually isn't a lack of time - it's a lack of intention. They spend their weeks reacting instead of leading, and then wonder why they're constantly behind. In today's episode, we're talking about how to take back control of your calendar, protect the work that actually moves your business forward, and create a schedule that supports both the CEO you want to become and the life you actually want to live. ______________________________________________________ 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

    #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.
