  1. You're Not Being Authentic. You're Being Passive. Here's the Difference

    You're Not Being Authentic. You're Being Passive. Here's the Difference

    I can’t believe I’m saying this… but there’s ONE thing bro marketers get right that women in sales need to adopt immediately: lead the conversation. If you’re always reacting—avoiding discomfort, saying “no pressure,” offering discounts, or letting prospects drift—you’re not being “nice.” You’re leaking sales out of your funnel and losing authority without realizing it. In this episode, Genevieve breaks down: Why leading = value (and reacting = lost trust) How “no pressure” becomes passivity (and kills conversions) What to say when someone asks for a discount or says “I need to think about it” Why prospects actually expect you to guide them The doctor analogy that will change how you see sales leadership How to audit your last 5 sales conversations and spot where you gave up control If you want consistent sales without hype, pressure, or pushiness—this is your next skill.

  2. The Leadership Philosophy That Kept Her Business Growing for 25 Years

    The Leadership Philosophy That Kept Her Business Growing for 25 Years

    Do successful people ask themselves different questions? Are they more disciplined… or do they simply operate from a different kind of intention? This week Genevieve Skory welcomes Nancy Bogart, CEO and founder of Jordan Essentials, for a grounded conversation about what long-term success actually looks like in direct sales. Nancy shares her origin story: leaving her career to care for a son born with a severe birth defect, becoming a stay-at-home mom to three boys, and then inventing a lotion bar that unexpectedly took off at craft fairs in 1999. After selling out repeatedly and seeing others ask to help make and sell the product, she and her husband incorporated the business in 2000 — and 25 years later, the company continues to grow. You’ll hear how Nancy thinks about boldness (including borrowing it from her mom), why desperation doesn’t create sustainable results, and how intention becomes a “line in the sand” that helps leaders stay above the noise. They also dive into personal inventory, values, uniqueness in leadership, and what to do when a company hits a downturn — including the importance of transparency, integrity, and staying long enough to actually learn the lesson. Nancy also shares practical insights on relationships, leadership development, protecting your circle, and why “it always works out” is more than a catchphrase — it’s a mindset practice your brain listens to. If you’ve been feeling stalled, doubting your next move, or wondering how real leaders stay steady through hard seasons, this episode will land.

  3. The Brutal Truth: You Might Not Be Coachable (Yet)

    The Brutal Truth: You Might Not Be Coachable (Yet)

    Genevieve uses the Olympics as a powerful business metaphor to call out a common trap: confusing busyness with progress. Olympians spend years training in silence—repetition without applause—for one performance. They don’t hire coaches to keep them “busy.” They train to win, practice the hard parts, and measure results. Genevieve argues that many entrepreneurs do the opposite: they stay endlessly busy doing what they’re already comfortable with, avoid the numbers, avoid standards, and then wonder why results feel irregular. This episode breaks down: Why busyness can be avoidance in disguise How “familiar strengths” protect your routines—and stop growth What real coaching is (correction, standards, feedback) vs what it isn’t (babysitting, cheerleading, feel-good validation) The difference between loyalty to effort vs loyalty to outcomes Why standards reduce activity and increase results How to tell if you’re coachable—and why coachability is the door to mastery If you’re tired of working hard without the results to show for it, this episode will help you shift from “busy” to “training to win.” RESOURCES Free 7-day trial to The Sales Confidence Studio (our community + system) https://www.skool.com/sales-confidence-studio/about Subscribe to my newsletter, The Shift (real talk that gets real results) https://newsletter.gskory.com/ Visit my website https://gskory.com Follow me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DoTheDoToday Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/genevieve_skory Chapters (00:00:00) - How to Be Busy vs Making Progress(00:02:28) - Busy Entrepreneurs: The Secret to Success(00:10:19) - How to Get Out of Busyness(00:13:37) - Coaching vs. Coaching(00:19:24) - Not All People Are Coachable(00:22:11) - Looking for a Coach who Will Work With You

    If Sales Isn't Exciting Anymore...Watch This

    In this episode, Genevieve shares the number one thing people tell her after speaking engagements: “We used to do that.” The frustrating part? They’re usually talking about the exact behaviors that created growth in the first place. So why do people stop doing what works? Genevieve says it’s often not a strategy issue—it’s boredom. She walks through the early “organized chaos” phase of business where adrenaline, excitement, and emotional highs drive momentum. The problem is that this teaches your nervous system to mislabel confidence as a feeling you need to chase. When your business matures and systems start working, growth can feel calm—and calm can feel “wrong” if you’re addicted to urgency. Genevieve reframes boredom as a sign of progress: when it feels quiet and things are working, that’s the point. This episode is a call to stop manufacturing drama, stop offer-hopping, and stop chasing stimulation. Instead, lean into calm confidence, emotional regulation, and leadership presence—the skills that create sustainable sales and consistent growth. If you’re in the “boring but working” phase, this doesn’t need fixing. It needs trust.

    This Wasn’t the Plan… But It Worked

    Genevieve welcomes her first-ever podcast guest, career and life coach Rikki Schwartz, for a real conversation about resilience, reinvention, and values-based career decisions. Rikki shares her “hero’s journey” from pursuing a “safe” path (physical therapy) to realizing—painfully—that it wasn’t aligned… and walking away even though she was nearly finished. She eventually built a high-level corporate career (Ford → Waste Management), rising to Vice President, leading large teams and revenue… until one day she was laid off after 17 years. From there, Rikki discovered career coaching, the power of structure and “homework,” and eventually launched her own practice: My Turn Life Coaching—helping people move through denial, grief, fear, and identity loss so they can rebuild with clarity. This episode is for anyone who: feels stuck in a “secure” path that’s draining them was laid off or sidelined and is questioning their value is considering entrepreneurship but wants the real truth needs a framework to reconnect with their strengths and values Connect with Rikki: My Turn Life Coaching https://www.myturnlifecoaching.com RESOURCES Free 7-day trial to The Sales Confidence Studio (our community + system) https://www.skool.com/sales-confidence-studio/about Subscribe to my newsletter, The Shift (real talk that gets real results) https://newsletter.gskory.com/ Visit my website https://gskory.com Follow me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DoTheDoToday Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/genevieve_skory Chapters (00:00:01) - The Inaugural Guest on the Podcast(00:01:38) - How to start a business with a minimum degree(00:06:53) - How to End Your Career with a Purpose(00:11:04) - Getting out of the Physical Therapy Program(00:13:13) - What Advice Do You Have For Starting a Business?(00:14:10) - What is a Value Proposition for your Resume?(00:14:39) - Your DNA and How to Use It(00:19:24) - The Safety Affliction(00:23:12) - The Importance of Alignment in Your Career(00:25:55) - Ricky Schwartz on Looking Back on His Life(00:28:56) - What Advice Do You Have For Job Seekers?

    “It Must Be Me” — How to Stop Self-Blame When Business Slows Down

    What if you’re not behind… you’re simply at the exact stage of business growth where tactics stop working and leadership must take over? In this episode, Genevieve speaks to high performers who feel stuck, pressured, or oddly “pushy” in their business — and who immediately assume it must be them. She reframes that spiral with a simple truth: the discomfort you feel is feedback, not criticism. It’s information. And it’s often a sign you’re being called to evolve into a bigger role. Using a powerful “flat tire” analogy, Genevieve explains how we would never blame ourselves for a normal obstacle in driving — yet we blame ourselves relentlessly when business hits a predictable growth stage. The problem isn’t that you need a new script, new offer, or a total rebrand. The problem is that you’ve outgrown the version of you that your current tactics were built to protect. This is a sales identity and leadership conversation: visibility, confidence, alignment, and learning to own your expertise without shrinking. You’ll also hear why following “strugglers” (people who refuse to evolve) keeps you stuck — and how to choose growth instead. If you’re at a fork in the road — back to “back in the day” or forward into a future you design — this episode will help you exhale, reset, and step into Calm Confidence.

  8. The One Thing You Need to Know to Stop Hustling and Build a Sustainable Business in 2026

    The One Thing You Need to Know to Stop Hustling and Build a Sustainable Business in 2026

    If your business feels heavy, exhausting, or like you’re “performing” again… you don’t need a new plan. You need a reset with meaning. In this CEO-to-CEO episode, Genevieve shares what she keeps hearing from smart, capable women: self-doubt, self-blame, and a quiet disconnect from the work they used to love. And she explains why no pricing change, new offer, or “better strategy” can save a business when meaning has gone missing—because strategy only amplifies what already exists underneath. You’ll hear why success isn’t just a higher title or bigger check, but a deeper level of understanding and purpose. Why selling (including weight loss) works best when it’s rooted in impact—not transactions. And why the leaders who last don’t rely on pressure or urgency; they sell through conviction. At the end, Genevieve gives you a simple 15-minute practice (no phone, no scrolling) and three questions that help restore meaning, rebuild confidence, and create grounded leadership for 2026. If this resonates, subscribe, leave a review, and share the episode. We’re saying no to hustling in 2026—and yes to calm confidence.
