Advertise on podcast: ONE Question: Unapologetic Questions for Unapologetic Results

Ever look at someone and wonder how they're getting the results they are when their strategy seems so basic? If you're honest, you've probably looked at some of the people making seven and eight figures and thought your offer, delivery, content, or strategy is better…or at least just as good. And, while those things matter (they're all things I support my 1:1 clients with), the longer I'm in business, the more I've seen that strategy alone isn't what determines how much money someone makes or their ability to sustain it. What matters just as much is who we're being, how we're thinking, how we're showing up, and our capacity to hold what comes with success. When I look at the extra $100k I added in revenue last year, or at my $52k cash month, I can see clearly that neither came from creating a new offer, building a complicated funnel, pushing harder, or spending just as much on team and ads. That's why, in Episode 204, I'm unpacking ONE Question to Scale Your Success Without Pushing It Away, one I've had to ask myself at every level. In this episode, you'll hear: Why "having the right strategy" and working harder isn't always enough to scale or sustain growth. What actually comes with making more money, visibility, and success and why that matters more than most business owners realize. How your identity sets the ceiling for how much success and money you'll allow yourself to make and hold. Why smart, talented business owners end up in feast-and-famine cycles or feel like their strategy "isn't working" despite doing the "right" things. Why your next level of growth may require more safety and capacity and not just another offer, strategy, or sales sprint.

One of the questions I get asked most often is how I make the kind of money I do as a 1:1 coach. Right behind that is: How do you really feel about revenue share? Very quickly followed by: Do you think revenue share would work in my business? I've used a revenue share model for about five years, both as a client and as a coach. I'm still paying my own coach this way nearly eight years later, and I've built my entire 1:1 coaching practice around it. I've also seen (and love) clients and peers adopt this model after watching how it's worked for me. That said, I don't think revenue share is right for everyone. Like any business model, it comes with tradeoffs that are important to understand before opting in. That's why, in Episode 203 of ONE Question, I'm answering your question about whether revenue share is right for your business and sharing my unfiltered experience after years on both sides of this as a client and coach. Whether you're simply curious about revenue share, actively considering it for your business, or trying to understand how I think about scaling more broadly, this episode will help you think more clearly about what actually matters when choosing a business model. In this episode, you'll hear: Who revenue share does (and doesn't) work best for practically speaking.  The real truth about control and speed when scaling with revenue share (and why this isn't a get-rich-quick strategy). The risk involved with this model and how I recommend protecting yourself if you use it. How revenue share encourages long-term relationships, retention, and deeper client results. What's been hardest for me on both sides of this model as a client and as a coach. The mindset work required to make revenue share sustainable (especially around boundaries, enoughness, and money).

Last year, I added $100k in additional revenue to my multi-six-figure coaching practice without launching a new offer, adding more complexity, or changing my business model. It wasn't because I posted more, worked harder, or increased ad spend (I've consistently maintained an 80% or more profit margin). But, I did focus on one thing most people overlook when they think about scaling a coaching or service-based business. That's why, in Episode 202, I'm sharing ONE question I've been asking myself for over a decade, and how it's helped me build the right kind of demand, stay fully booked with clients I genuinely love for seven years, increase capacity, and scale sustainably. In this episode, you'll hear: The primary strategy I'm focusing on in 2026 to scale my high-level coaching practice without burning out or wanting to burn it all down (and how this approach works across business models). Why scaling sustainably is really about solving a capacity problem and the three types of capacity that allow you to increase revenue without working harder. What I see many business owners overlook in the sales process, and why this matters if you want to avoid misaligned or draining client dynamics. The common way service providers misuse the term "right-fit client," and how this can sabotage growth, capacity, and getting (and staying) fully booked. How this question evolves at different stages of business, and the five filters I use to discern right-fit clients as I scale. How to apply your answer to this question across your messaging, marketing, and sales process to attract better clients, improve retention, and grow sustainably.

It's not new news that things have changed online. Gone are the days where you can just post whatever, sit back, and watch the clients and sales roll in. So, if you've noticed your reach going down, content not working the way it used to, or a slow down of leads from social media, you're probably not imagining it.  The way we're all consuming content and information has changed and even the way we're shopping, looking for recommendations, and deciding who to trust is changing faster than ever. Whether we like it or not, AI is a big part of that shift, especially when it comes to visibility in an AI-driven world. AI also isn't going anywhere, so ignoring it isn't a strategy (it's avoidance). That's why, when I heard my friend Sam DiNicola, the founder of Sam DiNicola Digital, a boutique marketing agency, talking about a strategy to get recommended on AI (not just ranked or seen), I knew I had to talk to her and bring her on the podcast. Join us in Episode 201, where Sam generously shares her decade of marketing experience and unpacks her ONE Question to Get Visible, Stand Out, and Sell in an AI-Driven World. In this episode, Sam and I talk about: The visibility strategy Sam is using with her clients that feels Gary Vee-ahead-of-the-curve (and why most people are already behind). How AI is changing reach, discovery, and being found and why this matters for your business even if you don't use AI at all. Why people are getting less traffic from social media, where that attention is actually going, and what you can implement to get seen and discovered by more right-fit leads. "AI slop," how it affects everyone (even original content creators), the trust recession, AEO, and what it really means to be discoverable when people aren't even "Googling" the way they used to How search behavior and buying behavior have fundamentally changed (ours included). The business advice that matters whether you're using AI, social media, or old-school marketing, and why we can't afford to ignore this shift if we don't want to be the Blockbuster of 2026. Whether or not you use AI in your business or plan to implement an AEO strategy, this is a valuable and relevant conversation for every business owner who wants to remain relevant and scale in 2026.

Let's talk about money, honey. Because the more we talk about it, the more we normalize it, understand it, and get better at the game of money. Some of the most clarifying and helpful financial education I've had has come from having conversations with other business owners, and this turned out to be true again at a retreat I went to last year with 20+ multi-six and seven-figure business owners. What started as a conversation about our biggest lessons around wealth also showed me a common thread about how we think about safety, support, ambition, generosity, and what it actually means to feel "resourced" with money.  Everyone came at their finances and wealth building from a different angle, but underneath it all was the same desire: to stop relating to money from pressure, scarcity, or proving, and the power of making decisions from steadiness and enoughness. That's why, in Episode 200, I'm unpacking ONE Question I use to make and have more than enough money and how I think about setting financial goals and building wealth, saving, investing, retirement, donating, and spending. In this episode, you'll hear: A behind-the-scenes look at what those retreat money conversations revealed about how successful business owners relate to money, safety, ambition, and making and having "enough." How I use one simple lens to make financial plans that support wealth-building, ensure I have what I need when I retire, and allow me to enjoy and spend my money now, without operating from fear or pressure. Why clarity around your numbers can create more freedom, better decisions, and less emotional charge around money.   Episode Links: No opt-in required free resource: Pay Yourself More Profit Planning Playbook and Workshop Episode 169: ONE Question to Hold Millions with Julia Mother F*cking Wells Sign up for free to join The Vault here: a private podcast feed with weekly mini-masterclasses on the mindset & strategies that are working right now to grow a six and seven-figure business.

Word of the year has been one of my favorite reflection and personal growth practices since I learned about it in coach training over 12 years ago, and I've done it almost every year since. My words have shaped my growth, leadership, and even my business and this podcast. Unapologetic was my word the year we launched ONE Question: Unapologetic Questions for Unapologetic Results, and this practice continues to influence how I think, teach, and coach. As part of this practice, I always take time to review my word and how it challenged me, what it taught me, and where it stretched me before deciding on my focus and goals for the year ahead. That's why, in Episode 199, I'm unpacking ONE Question to rethink your word of the year and use it as a tool for deeper personal and business growth in 2026. In this episode, you'll hear: My word from 2025 (acknowledged), how it became a powerful teacher for me, and the biggest lessons and gifts it offered, including how it supported my biggest revenue year and cash months yet in business. How I think about the word of the year practice and use it throughout the year to support intentional growth and decision-making (hint: the "result" isn't just picking the word). ONE Question I use to uncover my growth edge and let my word and focus for the year ahead reveal itself.

About this time last year, I dove into one of my favorite practices to review, reflect, and set myself up for the new year ahead.  I also added on something I've never done before, and it was eye-opening. It helped me spot how often I'd been getting in my own way and making business so much harder than it needed to be. That's why, in Episode 198, I'm unpacking ONE Question Behind My Biggest Year in Business Yet (and Stopping Problems That Don't Exist). In Episode 198, you'll hear: The surprising pattern I couldn't unsee, and the line in the sand I drew this time last year that helped me change the way I focus, take action, and show up. How to use this question to spot energy leaks, wasted time, and the ways we distract ourselves from what actually moves the needle. The concept of 'dissolving the problem' and how shifting your point of focus directly changes your results. The dirty little secret for many of us high achievers, and how we unknowingly sabotage momentum when things are actually going well. How I use the DBT Threat Assessment tool in business, plus the follow-up questions I ask when there is a real problem to solve.  Episode Links: Dissolve the Problem by Richard Dotts The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook by Matthew McKay PhD, Jeffrey C.

Real talk: I have everything I've ever wanted in business and life, and I also started my 44th birthday bawling. Not because I have an issue with getting older, but because I find it tough to have a whole day that's all about me. This episode is an honest look at the patterns so many high-achieving entrepreneurs play out without realizing it: being "fine," low-maintenance, hyper-independent, over-functioning, and abandoning ourselves while telling everyone we don't need anything and that we've "got it." I'm unpacking ONE Question I asked myself to shift this pattern and my birthday, and why your unapologetic answer to this question matters for you as a CEO if you want to be able to grow, scale, lead, and receive more of the good stuff (like success, money, and joy) without pushing it away or making it harder than it needs to be. In Episode 197, you'll hear: The sneaky way high achievers abandon themselves, why this is hard to spot, and how this might be limiting your capacity to earn and scale. The subtle ways we lie to ourselves without realizing it, how these patterns inform our identity, and how to shift into CEO-level self-leadership. The difference between being "mask up" and "mask down," and what patriarchy, good girl conditioning, and coping mechanisms have to do with it. An important reminder about blame, responsibility, and the real work that begins when you gain awareness of where you're overgiving or not getting your needs met. How to use this question to open yourself up to receive more, ask for support, and scale sustainably.

The changes in the online space I can't stop talking about, including what you need to know about AI, the "trust recession," and how to future-proof your business. The three things every marketing strategy needs and why it's so important to diagnose and solve the right problems in your business. What I'm focused on as a high-level, high-touch business coach (and partner) and how you can apply this to your own business model.
