Bold Business Podcast Jess Dewell

Business longevity results from tenacity, small wins that compound, and saying “no” decisively. When you shape your decisions with nonnegotiables providing constraints, there is less to evaluate with regard to removing overwhelm and freeing up time to spend doing the real deep work necessary to build a thriving business. 
 
Effective communication is necessary to maximize the compounding effect of your choices. That comes from clearly articulating and sharing more than the vision, including the nonnegotiables for the way to do work. It can be difficult to persist, yet sticking to your decisions and continuously taking the next step illuminates the best possible next step to take. This effort compounds and the small wins add up.
 
In this program, you will hear how the foundation to grow — including what you don’t do — is necessary to look to the future, about the importance of consistently coming back to work even when it is hard, and that willpower and effort create momentum to push forward.
 
Quentin Ortega, Founder and Lead Consultant at QCO Consulting, Christy Maxfield, President and CEO at Purpose First Advisors, and your host Jess Dewell, Managing Partner at Red Direction, discuss accountability and how consistent action is THE factor in achieving your biggest goals.

Adapt! Change! Evolve! These are the three things necessary to create a lasting business. The fuel for success is determining your business purpose — that as the company develops and evolves, it continues to be fulfilling even as customers and technologies change. 
 
The insight that reflection brings is highly undervalued. Many of us use data to reflect on what happened before and where we are now, and how we look forward is based on numbers. What about you? Your team? Your customers? 
 
Reflection allows you to see and feel how you have changed so you can fully respond to the way those around you have changed. Leading a company denotes the expectation of being an example. The more you are willing to acknowledge shortcomings, desires, and strengths … the more insight you can bring to coaching for personal growth at every level.
 
Jess Dewell talks with J.J. Parker, co-founder and CEO of  Tightrope Media Systems which makes the Carousel Digital Signage Software and Cablecast Community Media products. Discussion is about creating a lasting business by focusing on bringing people together to do their best work. Tune in to learn the importance of founding values, business purpose, and self-awareness in leading a company through multiple changes and focusing on your company's current state and future goals to adapt and thrive.

Leading your team requires a variation of the skills you’ve developed to lead yourself. Communication becomes exponentially important — not only to create expectations about how to do the work, but also to celebrate success and meet each person where they are at (i.e., so they understand their goals align with the company’s). Tim Fortescue, Founder at 40 Watt Coaching, talks about knowing what you will do to achieve your goals — and helping your team do the same.



Reflection is often undervalued as a tool for moving forward, and is essential to avoid backtracking or pivoting as new information and results become known. It is necessary to celebrate wins along the way, too — and reflection builds in the time and opportunity to identify wins. Small wins build momentum, reinforce the way you work in your company, and deepen relationships through shared success. 
 
In this program, you will hear how to discover and plan for your grandest ideas by planting seeds for the future, knowing your performance levers, and persevering when it gets difficult. Jess Dewell talks with Tim Fortescue, Founder of 40 Watt Coaching, about taking the time to really know yourself and what you want to do.

It is important to understand the fundamentals of accounting to be able to make good business decisions. This includes having an outside set of eyes that are honed from the manner in which technology is changing the way CPAs work. 
 
Data is necessary to know where you’ve been so you can make the most informed decisions possible. That means collecting data — the right data — and using it to optimize the evaluation of several good ideas. Risk is always a part of good ideas, and the cost of debt today doesn’t have to make things harder or unreachable; it just requires understanding how such risk will help you today.
 
This program is about the exciting developments surrounding how technology can create more opportunities to better understand what it takes to achieve your growth goals. It emphasizes the importance of committing to expanding the ways you think, and provides insights on how to change with the world as it changes around you.
 
Jess Dewell talks with Dave Hartley, Partner in Charge at Anders CPA, about the commitment it takes to bring 30 years of experience forward while navigating change to help clients stay competitive in their markets — and why it is BOLD to be innovative while surrounded by quickly changing marketing conditions.

It's incredible how often we can hold ourselves back from growth by not doing the critical work. But the truth is, with intention, awareness, and conscious choice, we can cultivate effective decision-making and become true leaders. Knowing ourselves and our team can unlock our full potential and achieve great things. 
 
Surrounding yourself with individuals who have your business' best interest in mind — who also complement your thinking processes — not only offers support in making sure you don't miss anything essential but also allows an outside set of eyes to help you keep the information you need … and let go of the rest (for now). Reduce your confusion and increase your confidence by seeking advisors and consultants who understand exactly where you are on your business growth journey.
 
In this "It's Your Business” program, you will hear about the importance of finding an accountability sounding board, embracing the discomfort of consistent action, and knowing the distinction between the inside and outside game of decision-making. 
 
Quentin Ortega, Founder and Lead Consultant at QCO Consulting; Christy Maxfield, President and CEO at Purpose First Advisors; and your host, Jess Dewell, Managing Partner at Red Direction, discuss and offer actionable takeaways for moving through knowing what to do and taking consistent action to get things done.

In this program, you will be given two questions with which to use and evaluate your brand identity for the asset it really is; for learning how to connect digital and physical marketing efforts; and for exploring the entrepreneurial journey of a growing company designing a welcoming and on-brand image for healing arts practitioners.
 
Jess Dewell talks with Carolyn Boldt, VP / Director of Design at CrossFields, about why it is BOLD to create a positive energy exchange between your service and the client you serve.
