    70 Katie Ellinger: MIT Brain Meets Bookkeeping... and Yes, CEOs Should Stop DIY-ing Their Books

    Today’s guest is someone after Bonnie’s own CEO heart. Katie Ellinger, co-founder of Prometryx. She is an MIT-trained brainiac who took her love of systems, numbers, and smart delegation and built a wildly thoughtful bookkeeping and financial ops firm serving small businesses across the U.S. Katie lives in Medellín, Colombia, blends tech with trust, and has the rare perspective of someone who has delegated intentionally and also been the recipient of high-stakes delegation. We talk emotional money stuff, trust, perfectionism, letting people into your books, and how she built a yin-yang partnership that’s grounded, strategic, and honestly… impressive as hell. You’re going to love this one.

    69 Aleasha Bahr: How to Delegate Sales Without Losing Money or Your Mind

    Today’s episode features someone who is about to flip your entire idea of sales upside down in the best way possible. I’m sitting down with Aleasha Bahr, the founder of Black Sheep Sales, a keynote speaker, and the number one authority on selling without the sleaze. She’s a strategist, a coach, and a woman who has helped sell tens of millions of dollars worth of offers. All without pretending. Without pressure. And definitely without acting like a douchebag. In this conversation, we’re digging into the real stuff. The “oh crap, I have to sell now” moment so many founders hit. The mistakes that tank momentum. How to identify your anti-audience. Why transparent sales is magnetic. And how creative delegation can actually save your sanity and revenue at the same time. If you hate sounding salesy or you’ve been burned trying to delegate sales the wrong way, this one is going to hit home.

    64 Acey Holmes: Turn To-Dos into Ta-Das… by Delegating the Not-Fun Bits

    Bonnie sits down with Acey Holmes, founder of BoredLess, to unpack the neuroscience of play for adults and what it means at work. Drawing on her journey from speech pathologist to speaker and facilitator, Acey explains why burnout often looks like “play deprivation”—and how reframing tasks to be interesting, entertaining, or stimulating changes everything. She breaks down four personal play identities, shares a powerful story from law-enforcement evidence teams, and maps easy on-ramps to playful work design that don’t require improv games or office ping-pong. The duo also explores delegation beyond assistants—think cross-delegation to family, outsourcing taxes and creative assets, and letting marketing be next on the list. Mic-drop moment: “It’s not about what to do with your free space… it’s about how to be in it.” LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/aceym/ Website - Workshops for ERG Leaders | Playful Work Design: https://playfulworkdesign.com/ #WomenInBusiness #PlayAtWork #ProfessionalServices #Productivity #WorkLifeJoy Support the show Get your D2E Swag Here https://delegate2elevatepodcast.com/merch/ Find us on: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@Delegate2ElevatePodcast Website: https://delegate2elevatepodcast.com/get-shit-done/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/delegate2elevate-podcast/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2VHbhXUP4NXsbF4FvCPEuF Keywords: #Productivity#Delegation#Outsourcing#Productivity#Leadership   #Viral
