This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders and leaders who want to reclaim focus and build sustainable high performance in a world filled with distraction. Many entrepreneurs confuse busy work with meaningful output, but the real edge comes from deep work, clarity and intentional attention. My guest is Steven Puri, founder and CEO of The Sukha Company, whose background includes producing Oscar-winning visual effects and building venture-backed startups. We explore why remote work often feels chaotic, how blurred boundaries erode productivity and why deep work is becoming increasingly rare and valuable. Steven breaks down what flow states really are, why they drive your best creative work and how your environment and systems can help you enter them more consistently. We also unpack practical habits founders can adopt to protect focus, reduce overwhelm and move their business forward without burning out. Tune in if you’re ready to stop reacting all day and start creating space for the deep, focused work that actually moves your business forward. About Steven PuriSteven Puri has been a senior executive at two major motion picture studios and has raised over $20M in venture capital. He produced digital effects for Independence Day, which won the Academy Award for Visual Effects, and later founded multiple startups—including one successful exit. Steven now leads The Sukha Company, a focus and flow platform designed to help people achieve sustainable high performance. He lives in Austin, TX.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who want to build a company that actually makes money from the start. If you’re thinking about what to prioritize early, or how to refocus a business that isn’t generating consistent revenue yet, this episode will help you reset. If I had to build a company from scratch today—with no audience, no awareness and no momentum—I’d start with revenue. In this episode, I walk through exactly how I’d rebuild a company with the goal of getting paying customers as quickly and intentionally as possible. I break down how to identify a problem people are already paying to solve, how early sales shape smarter decisions and why focus makes everything, from messaging to growth, easier. This episode is about building from reality, not assumptions, and letting revenue guide what you build next. Tune in if you’re building something new, rethinking your priorities or ready to stop guessing and start selling with more clarity.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who know visibility matters but still hesitate to put themselves out there. My guest is KJ Blattenbauer, a PR strategist and the author of Pitchworthy: The No-Fluff Playbook to Publicity That Pays Off. KJ helps founders use media and storytelling to build credibility and grow their businesses. KJ and I talk about the biggest misconceptions around PR, especially the belief that visibility is self-promotional or ego-driven. Instead, this conversation reframes public relations as a way to build trust, shorten sales cycles, and help the right people find you at the right time. We unpack why PR is less about attention and more about credibility and long-term growth, including why waiting until you feel “ready” often holds your business back. We also discuss why being visible is not vanity, but responsibility, and how personal branding and company branding work best together as buyers increasingly want to understand the humans behind the business. Tune in if you’re ready to rethink PR, step into visibility with intention, and use storytelling as a growth lever instead of something you avoid. About KJ BlattenbauerKJ Blattenbauer is a powerhouse publicist who turns overlooked experts into headline news. With nearly 30 years of experience, she’s the go-to pro when you’re ready to stop being ignored and start owning the spotlight. Known for her bold yet approachable style, KJ delivers clear, actionable strategies that have been featured everywhere from Forbes to Architectural Digest. She’s also the author of the DIY PR book, How to Be a Media Darling, and Pitchworthy, a modern guide to building lasting visibility and authority.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who keep hearing, “We don’t have budget,” and assume their price is the problem. Most of the time, it’s not. The real problem isn't the price itself, but the narrative surrounding it and whether buyers genuinely grasp the value you’re offering. I break down why perceived value matters more than the number itself. When you sell features instead of outcomes, urgency disappears and your offer starts to feel optional. Pricing pushback is rarely about the cost. It’s about confidence, proof and whether buyers truly believe this will work. This episode walks through how to strengthen perceived value so pricing feels justified instead of uncomfortable. That includes anchoring pricing to ROI, giving buyers better context for comparison and surfacing the emotional payoff behind a purchase. When you position yourself as the safest choice instead of the cheapest one, the entire conversation shifts. Tune in if you’re ready to stop lowering your price and start raising your pricing power.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is a reflection on the conversations that stayed with me most over the past year. After sitting down with founders, CEOs and operators who have built truly impressive businesses, what stood out wasn’t just what they built, but how they think, lead and move through challenges. I was fortunate to have so many conversations with impressive founders and leaders that reshaped how I look at growth, leadership and what it actually takes to keep going when things get hard. You’ll hear insights on: Why entrepreneurship doesn’t get easier (but you get better at handling it)How growth becomes repeatable when you design for itWhy strong leadership starts with curiosity, emotional intelligence and listening instead of having all the answers Thank you to every guest who shared their perspective this year, and thank YOU for being here and continuing to listen. 💛 Check out the full episodes featured in this podcastChoosing a billion-dollar mindset w/ Suneera Madhani, Founder & CEO of Worth AI: https://www.jackiehermes.com/podcast/suneera-madhani-founder-of-worth-aiHow to grow and exit—again and again w/ Lior Weinstein, serial entrepreneur & Founder of CTOx: https://www.jackiehermes.com/podcast/lior-weinsteinThink like a CEO w/ Patrick Thean, CEO of Rhythm Systems: https://www.jackiehermes.com/podcast/patrick-theanBuilding a portfolio career w/ Ilana Golan, Founder & CEO of Leap Academy: https://www.jackiehermes.com/podcast/ilana-golanWhat if we launched a buzz-worthy campaign? w/ Michael Ray, Strategic Marketing Director at Accelity: https://www.jackiehermes.com/podcast/michael-rayThe step-by-step process of a successful rebrand w/ Abby Bruckner & Michelle Breen, lead creatives at Accelity (Pt. 2): https://www.jackiehermes.com/podcast/abby-bruckner-michelle-breen-accelity-pt2 ✨ This podcast is produced in partnership with Accelity, a full-service marketing agency for bold people growing bold companies.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who always starts the new year already feeling behind. January doesn’t magically reset your habits, your workload or your pressure—and pretending it does is why so many people abandon their goals before February even hits. This episode explores what actually holds people back, why motivation fades so quickly and how changing your environment and systems does far more than trying to rely on discipline alone. This isn’t about reinventing yourself or shaming yourself. Just making it easier for your current self to win through clear behaviors, better structure, and consistent check-ins. Tune in if you want to turn pressure into progress this year, and learn the four shifts that make goals work in real life, not just on paper.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone building something slow, imperfect, and real.  This milestone, 300 episodes across four years, has become one of the most consistent things I’ve ever created. I share how this podcast started with no real plan, just a desire to talk honestly about entrepreneurship, and how consistency carried it through burnout, life changes and every version of myself along the way. Tune in for a reflection on the four lessons I’ve learned from showing up imperfectly, consistently, and sometimes reluctantly for 300 episodes. This one is a thank you, a reminder, and a promise: the messy, honest work continues—and the next 300 are going to be even better.

My guest today is Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon, a two-time Inc. 5000 CEO and the founder of Incredible One Enterprises, who went from bankruptcy to an eight-figure net worth by completely rewiring her beliefs about money, worthiness, and work. Darnyelle and I talk about how chaotic upbringings, generational patterns and epigenetics shape our relationship with money long before we ever start a business. She shares how growing up around lack and debt led her to a quarter of a million dollars in credit card balances by age 35, and how a mandated financial literacy course after bankruptcy became the catalyst for redefining her identity, her nervous system baseline and her entire view of abundance. Tune in for a conversation that will challenge the stories you were raised on and show you what’s actually possible when you stop living from a place of survival.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who has ever felt too young, too new or too underqualified to take up space in a room. If you’ve ever been the youngest in the room or the one who feels like you have the least experience, you know that pressure to prove you belong. In this episode, I break down what I’ve learned in the 12 years since: authority comes from competence, confidence and preparation—not your age.

My guest is Richard Turgeon, a creative director, writer and musician who has spent his career bringing personality and storytelling into industries that don’t always feel human, like tech and finance.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for marketers who know real insights don’t come from slide decks; they come from honest conversations. I share how to move past polished, “safe” answers and create the kind of conversations that actually change the trajectory of a project. It’s not about having a perfect list of questions; it’s about showing up as a human first. Setting the tone, leading with vulnerability and asking the right follow-ups can turn guarded responses into honest insight.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for leaders who know self-awareness matters—but still find themselves repeating the same patterns. My guest is Bizzie Gold, an innovator and disruptor in the field of mental health. Bizzie and I discuss why our brains “lie,” the idea that there are three sides to every story, and how perception filters shape what leaders see, say and do. Tune in for practical insights on spotting self-deception, aligning roles to how people actually think, and taking the first steps to rewire unhelpful habits so you can lead with clarity—not just willpower. About Bizzie GoldBizzie Gold is a tech founder, behavior futurist, and industry disruptor who invented Brain Pattern Mapping—a behavior and thought prediction technology proven to be 98.3% accurate. Her proprietary system decodes the subconscious patterns that drive human perception and decision-making, providing a revolutionary alternative to traditional mental health models. She is also the #1 best-selling author in Neuropsychology for her book, Your Brain is a Filthy Liar, which exposes the hidden mechanisms that keep people stuck in cycles of sabotage, conflict, and emotional chaos. Gold’s work fuses data science, neuropsychology, and pattern recognition to deliver sustainable rewiring at scale—without the emotional or financial codependency of therapy.

This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone learning how to lead with empathy without carrying everyone else’s emotions. As leaders, we want our teams to feel safe, supported, and heard. But there’s a fine line between being approachable and becoming everyone’s therapist—and crossing it can leave you drained, overwhelmed and ineffective. In this episode, I share the lessons I’ve learned from both sides of that line: when I was too distant and my team thought I didn’t care, and when I was too available and found myself carrying their stress on top of my own. Tune in to learn the four ways to find the right balance in protecting your energy, supporting your team and creating space for people to feel seen without losing yourself in the process. When you show empathy with boundaries, you build trust—and that’s what sustainable leadership really looks like.
