    The Business Witchdoctor on Burnout, Leadership, and the Power of Rest

    Burnout isn’t a calendar problem. It’s a system problem, and your body is keeping receipts. In this episode of Market Like It’s Hot, Yasmine Robles sits down with Elizabeth Wangugi Etienne (aka The Business Witchdoctor), wellness event and retreat planner and the creator of The Nap Concert, a live acoustic jazz experience where you literally take a nap. We talk about the sneaky signs of burnout in high-performing founders (hint: it’s not just “being tired”), why caffeine and “extra calories” can be red flags, and how leaders can stop treating exhaustion like a badge of honor. Elizabeth breaks down her idea of longevity leadership, thinking in 10-year batches instead of quarter-to-quarter panic, and shares practical, low-cost ways to reduce team burnout without turning into the company therapist. Then we get into what everyone’s curious about: what actually happens at a Nap Concert. From the healthy, digestion-friendly spread to the sensory cues designed to calm the nervous system, Elizabeth walks through the end-to-end experience, why it works as a new kind of networking, and how organizations can bring the Nap Concert or a full Nap Festival to their teams. If you’ve been trying to market like it’s hot while your nervous system is waving a white flag, this one’s for you.

    Legal Red Flags That Can Wreck Your Business (and the DIY Traps to Avoid)

    Shay Nelson, founder of MSN Law Office, breaks down the contract red flags she sees constantly, why templates and AI can backfire, and what clauses founders misunderstand the most. We talk trademarks (name vs logo), when you actually need an attorney, and how to hire your first employee without accidentally creating a legal mess. Practical, clear, and a little bit spicy. About Shay Nelson: Prior to venturing out on their own, Maritza “Shay” Nelson spent 7 years at two of the nation’s largest law firms as an associate in their respective litigation groups.

Clients range from start-ups to growing businesses and non-profits with nearly 100 employees across a wide variety of industries. Maritza is a proud graduate of Howard University, where they received their Bachelor of Arts in Political Science summa cum laude before going on to The University of Texas School of Law for their Juris Doctorate. In addition to running a thriving law firm, Shay is actively involved with the state and local bar associations.

    Marketing Tips to Make Your Accounting Firm Stand Out

    If you want your accounting business to be memorable and your marketing to actually work, you won’t want to miss this conversation. Welcome to Market It Like It's Hot, the podcast where marketing strategy sizzles and fluff gets kicked to the curb. Hosts Yasmine Robles and Yasmine Robles from Rebel Marketing tackle the age-old problem of boring branding in industries like accounting, law, and bookkeeping. If you’re tired of seeing the same fonts, stock images, and generic promises (“We’re reliable!”), you’re in the right place. They break down what branding really means (hint: it’s way more than just a logo) and dig into practical ways to make your firm stand out—whether that’s through your website, social posts, or even your brand’s personality. With their signature humor (dad jokes included) and a sprinkle of honest real talk, the episode explores how aligning your brand with your values can attract dream clients, repel bad fits, and make your marketing unforgettable. Plus, there’s talk of tequila, tacos, and why being yourself (tattoos and all) is the best marketing strategy around. Moments 04:34 Tacos, Tequila, and Rebel Branding 08:57 Clarify Your Brand Identity 11:31 "Clear Message in 5 Seconds" 16:41 "Branding Builds Trust and Connection" 19:56 "Stand Out from Competition" 20:54 "Free Marketing Workbook Offer" Here are 3 key takeaways: Branding is about perception, not just visuals. The visual identity (logo, colors, fonts) is only about 10% of what makes a brand. How people feel about you, your messaging, tone, and client experience are what truly differentiate you.If you sound like everyone else, you blend in. Ask yourself: if you scrubbed your name and logo off your website and materials, could prospects tell you apart from the competition? If not, you’re invisible!Consistency matters everywhere. Your brand’s personality and tone should show up across your website, social posts, emails, and even your client onboarding materials. Whether you’re quirky, classic rock-loving, tattooed, or just “professional,” let it shine through (with moderation). The Rebel Hour Join us for a live, no-fluff strategy session where you can ask real questions, get real answers, and finally fix what’s not working with your marketing. Whether you’re stuck on content, confused by SEO, or spiraling over your site, this is your space to vent, troubleshoot, and walk away with the next steps you can actually use.
