  1. Why Leadership Gets Harder As Your Company Grows feat. LIA GARVIN

    Why Leadership Gets Harder As Your Company Grows feat. LIA GARVIN

    If your company is objectively successful but leadership feels heavier, more personal, and more draining than you expected, you're not imagining it. For many women founders running businesses in the one to ten million dollar range, leadership strain shows up right as things start working.   This week, Eleanor is joined by Lia Garvin, a workplace expert who has led and advised teams inside some of the most operationally demanding organizations in the world, including Apple and Google. Drawing from her experience and her book The Unstoppable Team, Lia breaks down what actually happens when responsibility accumulates faster than structure.   Listen in to learn how unclear expectations, fuzzy accountability, and incomplete systems quietly force founders to absorb pressure that should live in the business. Together, Eleanor and Lia unpack why founders become the default escalation point, how responsiveness and availability quietly trap leaders in reactivity, and the critical difference between having people doing the work versus owning outcomes.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO87   Connect with Eleanor on LinkedIn or Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/?hl=en

  2. The 4-Part Revenue System That Scales to $2M+

    The 4-Part Revenue System That Scales to $2M+

    If you're generating strong revenue but still feel one bad month away from panic, the issue isn't how much money you're making - it's the absence of a revenue system.   Revenue is an outcome, not an asset, and when a business lacks infrastructure, the founder becomes the system, absorbing all the volatility, pressure, and risk. This week, Eleanor explains why chasing sales without building structure leads to fragility, no matter how impressive the topline numbers look.   Tune in as Eleanor breaks down the four-part revenue system every business needs before it can reliably scale past $500K, $1M, and into the $2M+ range without burnout. She walks you through the non-negotiable cash cow that funds growth, the bulletproof go-to-market motion that survives platform and algorithm changes, pricing designed to support expansion rather than constrain it, and the balanced business model that creates durability, optionality, and long-term value.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO86   Connect with Eleanor on LinkedIn or Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/?hl=en

  3. Where Business Stability Actually Comes From (and Why It's Often Misunderstood) feat. JULIA TAYLOR

    JAN 27

    Where Business Stability Actually Comes From (and Why It's Often Misunderstood) feat. JULIA TAYLOR

    You can be running a successful business and still feel exposed. Revenue is coming in, clients are smart, demand is real, and yet, cash flow feels tighter than it should, decisions feel heavier than expected, and the business itself feels fragile.   In this conversation, Eleanor is joined by Julia Taylor, CEO and founder of GeekPack, a company that operates at the intersection of entrepreneurship and institutions. This episode names a reality many women business owners experience but rarely have language for: sometimes the problem isn't how well you're working, it's where your business is getting its stability from.   Tune in this week as Eleanor and Julia take a strategic look at what business stability really requires and why it so often gets misunderstood in women-led companies. Julia shares how she built a revenue architecture that separates value creation from stability by partnering with large organizations, securing grants, and designing systems that can actually carry growth. Together, they explore why so many women are taught to absorb risk personally, and what changes when stability is designed structurally instead.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO85   Connect with Eleanor on LinkedIn or Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/?hl=en   Check out GeekPack: https://geekpack.com/

    How to Lead Your Company with Power feat. EMILY FEAIRS

    Many women in leadership positions find themselves exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering why they can't seem to get ahead despite working harder than everyone around them.   In this episode, Eleanor sits down with Emily Feairs, co-founder of Our Time to Lead and high-impact leadership coach, to break down what power actually is and why so many high-achieving women struggle to claim it. Emily spent her career advising some of the most powerful leaders in the country, from cabinet ministers and CEOs to executive teams navigating complexity, conflict, and change, and she's noticed a pattern that keeps women stuck.   Tune in this week as Eleanor and Emily dive into how women become the organizational safety net and thereby lose authority. You'll learn why clear is kind and how withholding direct feedback is actually the unkind choice. Emily breaks down what leadership looks like when you have a team, and how to use resentment as an indicator that boundaries have been crossed.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO84   Connect with Eleanor on LinkedIn or Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/?hl=en   Connect with Emily Feairs on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/emilyfeairs/

  5. Why So Many Successful Women Say "I Hate Selling"

    JAN 13

    Why So Many Successful Women Say "I Hate Selling"

    "I hate selling." If you've ever thought this, you're not alone. But here's what's surprising: Eleanor hears this most often from women who are already successful - women with strong reputations, loyal clients, and thriving referral networks.   If hating sales were simply about fear or lack of confidence, wouldn't it get easier as you became more established? The reality is that for many women, that dislike actually intensifies as they become more successful. That's because the issue isn't you. It's the system.   Join Eleanor this week as she reveals why established women entrepreneurs experience this resistance to selling, and why traditional sales systems are fundamentally misaligned with how successful women build trust and authority.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO83   Connect with Eleanor on LinkedIn or Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/?hl=en

    2026 Is the Year We Stop Hoping and Start PROVING

    Can you pull up a spreadsheet right now showing the documented ROI on every business program you invested in last year?   The measurable revenue increase? The proven time savings? The concrete systems installed? If you're like most women entrepreneurs, you can't. Not because you're not brilliant. Not because the programs weren't valuable. But because the business education industry has trained us to measure success by how inspired we feel, not by what we can prove. And that ends now.   Join Eleanor for this first episode of 2026 as she explores why the most sophisticated women entrepreneurs are demanding something the industry has never been willing to provide: measurable ROI. You'll also learn about the Jewel OS - the first operating system built specifically for women entrepreneurs scaling to $2M+. By the end, you'll understand exactly why you're stuck, what the gap in the market is, and what to do about it in 2026.   Jewel OS is the first business operating system built specifically for women entrepreneurs scaling to $2 million +. If you're ready to install infrastructure instead of collecting more frameworks, message Eleanor the word 'Jewel' and we'll send you an application link.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://safimedia.co/WO82   Connect with Eleanor on LinkedIn or Instagram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eleanorbeaton/ https://www.instagram.com/eleanorbeaton/?hl=en
