In this episode snippet, Samantha Riley and Leon Flitton break down the time management matrix in a way that’s as real as it is refreshing.

    Why Every Coach Should Have a Podcast with Dave Jackson

    Your voice has the power to reach the people you’re meant to help, but only if you give it a platform that works, even while you sleep. In this episode, Samantha sits down with Hall of Fame podcaster Dave Jackson from School of Podcasting, to break down the real reason coaches need a podcast. And no, it’s not because everyone else has one. We talk about how your podcast educates your audience, how it shortens the sales cycle, and why creating an audio relationship builds trust faster than any marketing funnel ever could.  You'll walk away knowing when to start, how to keep going, and what podcasting can actually do for your coaching business.  If you’re tired of feeling invisible in a crowded coaching space, your voice might just be your biggest untapped asset.  For full show notes and links, please visit: https://samanthariley.global/podcast/627/ Samantha Riley xx Get your free copy of The Human Design Advantage -  https://samanthariley.global/advantage/ Join the Coaches, Thought Leaders & Changemakers FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/172041823301121 I’d love to connect with you - please reach out and say hi: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thesamriley/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/samriley/

    Moment #45: Stop Being the Bottleneck in Your Business

    You can’t scale a business with the same mindset you used to start it. It’s time to upgrade your thinking or risk stalling your success. You don’t build a six or seven-figure business by thinking like someone just trying to get through the week. The moment you shift into true CEO thinking is the moment your business stops plateauing and starts compounding. In this moment, we talk about shedding the small-game mindset and stepping into the CEO identity that actually moves the needle. From visionary thinking to smart delegation and next-level learning, this is how to stop holding your business back.

    Break Out of Freeze Mode and Lead the People Who Need You Most

    This isn’t just a coffee shop chat with Samantha and Leon. It’s a firestarter for every coach, consultant, and small business owner stuck in the spin cycle of uncertainty. We’re talking about freeze mode. You know the feeling. When the market dips  and election chatter ramps up, your once-reliable offers suddenly feel like they’re floating in a vacuum. You're tempted to shrink, slow down, or disappear entirely from the feed. This conversation is about making moves even when the path ahead feels foggy. It’s packed with real talk, lived stories, and practical steps you can use to stay in motion, stay aligned, and stay profitable, no matter what’s swirling outside. You’ll hear how Samantha pivoted hard in 2020, the surprising psychology of freeze mode (and how to spot it in your own business), and what actually builds trust when everyone’s holding their wallet a little tighter. It’s about tuning out the noise, turning up your clarity, and trusting that your next step doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to happen.

    Moment #44: Attract Ready-To-Buy Clients with One Simple Shift

    Sales isn’t all about slick pitches. It’s about starting the right conversation and asking the right questions.  In this moment, Samantha and Tim Hyde unpack why asking the right questions matters more than having the perfect answers, and why identifying your dream client isn’t a “nice to have” — it’s non-negotiable.  If your content isn’t starting dialogues with the right people, you’re wasting time and losing sales.  Stop pitching and start asking.

    Moment #43: The Power of Feeling Seen, Heard & Understood

    Sometimes, your sales process may seem like having a glass counter between you and your clients.  In this moment, Samantha and Tim Hyde break down the subtle art of creating true connection and how being on the same side of the counter changes everything.
