    Joy is A Business Strategy

    When did your business stop being fun? Be honest. You built this thing so you could have a life. Now you're managing the team, answering all the messages, wearing all the hats... but when was the last time you actually enjoyed the life you're working so damn hard to build? That’s the business owner’s guilt trip. And Angela and Jess are calling it out. This one’s about burnout, boundaries, and why choosing joy might be the smartest business strategy you’re not using. Because a burnt-out owner doesn’t make great decisions. A rested one does. We’re spilling the tea on: Why “hustle 24/7” and “make money in your sleep” are both liesVacation guilt, and why your team is copying yoursLetting go of control so your team can actually step upSelf-care that isn’t just another chore (sorry, meditation)Plus, Angela shares what walking 200 miles of a 500-mile pilgrimage taught her about expectations, Jessica explains why Disney is absolutely a valid form of self-care, and somehow we end up talking about sourdough, cheese advent calendars, and bioluminescent kayaking. Because, obviously. Your challenge: Do ONE thing this week that's just for you. Not for your business, not for your family, not because it's productive. Just because it brings you joy. And tell us: What's going on your joy list? We'd love to hear it! --------------------- This podcast is brought to you by Hot Mess Consulting.  Where we build brands and websites that aren't boring as hell.  Get your brand together.  Free Call | Instagram | Facebook | TikTok

    Spend Money to Make Money: When and Where to Invest in Your Ecomm Business

    When is it actually worth spending money on your business? After a whirlwind trip to LA, Angela and Jess are talking all things business investments. From wholesale shopping and boutique markets to hiring help, marketing budgets, and knowing when to invest in your website, we're talking about where your money should really be going. Jess also spills on growing her boutique to seven figures in annual sales and why it took her seven years to start paying herself consistently. The good investments, the expensive mistakes, and everything they wish they'd known sooner. We're getting into all of it. Because growing a business is one thing. Actually keeping some of that money? That's another conversation. And we're having it. 🎙️ Grab your coffee and let's talk money, growth, and a little retail chaos.  --------------------- This podcast is brought to you by Hot Mess Consulting.  Where we build brands and websites that aren't boring as hell.  Get your brand together.  Free Call | Instagram | Facebook | TikTok

    Smooth Operations

    If your business can't function without you touching every single thing... we need to talk. 😂 In this episode, we're digging into the not-so-sexy side of business that can make literally everything else easier: operations. We're talking SOPs, hiring, training, delegation, accountability, finances, team expectations, and how to stop being the only person who knows how everything is supposed to work. We also get into the harder parts of being the owner: letting go of control, figuring out what actually deserves your time, building a team you can trust, protecting your own energy, and creating a business that doesn't require you to be in the weeds 24/7. Because the goal isn't to build yourself a really stressful job with a bunch of employees. 😂 It's to build a business that actually works, makes money, supports the people inside of it, and leaves some room for you to be a damn human too. --------------------- This podcast is brought to you by Hot Mess Consulting.  Where we build brands and websites that aren't boring as hell.  Get your brand together.  Free Call | Instagram | Facebook | TikTok

    Inventory Made Easy w/Mary (Well Retailed) + Jacob (The Faves App)

    Your inventory is literally your money. Soooo... how much of it is currently sitting in your back room? 👀 In this episode, we're joined by Mary Langrade from Well Retailed and Jacob Horton from Faves to talk about one of the biggest pieces of running a retail business: buying inventory without tying up all your damn cash. We're getting into overbuying AND underbuying, inventory budgets, sell-through, markdowns, trends, seasonal buying, what to do with old inventory, and why the data sometimes knows your customer better than you think you do. We also talk about planning your buys around your actual sales goals, knowing when to go harder on something that's working, knowing when to get the hell out, and why holding onto inventory "for next year" might be costing you way more than you realize. Basically, if you've ever walked into market and blacked out a little with the order forms... this one's for you. 😂 CONNECT WITH OUR GUESTS: 🛍️ MARY LANGRADE | WELL RETAILED Website: https://www.retailinventorysolutions.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wellretailed/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057859711392Mary's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marymmqc/Mary's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mary.landgrebe.9📱 JACOB HORTON | FAVES Book a call: https://calendly.com/faves-welcomeFaves Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefavesapp/Faves Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thefavesappJacob's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jacobkhorton/Jacob's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JacobKahleHorton--------------------- This podcast is brought to you by Hot Mess Consulting.  Where we build brands and websites that aren't boring as hell.  Get your brand together.  Free Call | Instagram | Facebook | TikTok

    Marketing Sucks

    Marketing kinda f*****g sucks. There, we said it. 😂 But if we want our businesses to grow, we can't just build a beautiful website, open our doors, post when we remember, and hope people magically show up. In this episode, we're talking about what marketing actually looks like behind the scenes: planning promotions, creating rhythms, email + text, organic content, paid ads, website traffic, conversion, and figuring out what is actually moving the needle. We're also talking about the panic-marketing trap (we've both been there 🙋‍♀️), why you don't need to do ALL THE THINGS, and what we've learned from our own businesses about making marketing a little more intentional and a little less like throwing shit at the wall every Tuesday. Because your website matters. Your marketing matters. And unfortunately... you need both. 😂 --------------------- This podcast is brought to you by Hot Mess Consulting.  Where we build brands and websites that aren't boring as hell.  Get your brand together.  Free Call | Instagram | Facebook | TikTok

    All the Hot Mess Lore

    Okay boo, we're starting with the lore. ☕️ In our first official episode, we're going all the way back: how Angela went from boutique owner to accidentally building Hot Mess Consulting, how Jess went from sitting in the audience at one of Angela's very first Boutique Summit talks (yes, we found the photo 👀) to ghosting Hot Mess as a CLIENT... and somehow ending up here years later as part of the team. Obviously, we get wildly sidetracked along the way. We're talking boutique ownership, Shopify, branding, hiring the right people, expensive business lessons, AI slop, serial-killer fonts, why Jess submitted her Hot Mess application from a pool in an Elle Woods-esque bikini video, and approximately 47 other things we didn't plan to talk about. Basically: the lore is lore-ing. Grab your iced coffee and come meet your new business besties. 💋 --------------------- This podcast is brought to you by Hot Mess Consulting.  Where we build brands and websites that aren't boring as hell.  Get your brand together.  Free Call | Instagram | Facebook | TikTok
