    From Survival to Strategy: Building Work-Life Solutions with Donielle Jopko

    Donielle Jopko didn't build her company from a highlight reel—she built it through real life. In this episode, Alyssa sits down with the founder of Work Life Solutions Concierge to talk about the unglamorous, gritty side of entrepreneurship: starting a business while working full time, surviving abuse and a painful divorce, caregiving through trauma, and still finding a way to keep going. Donielle shares how her background in paralegal work, project management, and HR shaped the way she serves clients today—and why her business evolved far beyond "concierge" into a powerful support system for corporate events, project support, and relocation management. She breaks down her "umbrella" philosophy: how helping people at home and in the community connects directly to business outcomes like retention, productivity, and burnout prevention. You'll also hear the story of her first client (still with her 8 years later), how networking sparked her earliest growth, what it really felt like to take the leap from corporate to full-time founder, and the tiny moments—like a card from a client or $3 on the ground—that keep her from quitting.

    The 2025 Recap: The Wins, the Hard Days, and What's Coming in 2026 (with Joey Rogers)

    It's officially the final episode of 2025 — recorded in real time on December 30th — and we're closing out the year with a candid, no-filter conversation. Joey Rogers joins me to reflect on what was easily one of the hardest (and most growth-filled) years we've ever experienced as business owners. We're talking about the tough lessons, the momentum we built in the second half of the year, and the big wins that kept us going — including Lynchburg's one-year anniversary, launching the DCC apprenticeship partnership, and bringing the Krush Race to South Boston Speedway. Plus, we're sharing personal highlights, from 75 Hard to Love for Golf, and what we're most excited about heading into 2026. And of course… we're starting the episode with a birthday shoutout to Kenney — the creative force behind everything you see from Hello Hello and Rogers media. If you've ever wanted a real behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to grow through chaos, stay disciplined through pressure, and still show up every day… this episode is for you.
