Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterWhy Mission-Driven Branding MattersWhat does it mean to create a brand that stands for something, and why does it matter?
This week we are opening season 3, which looks a little bit different! Each week, we'll be opening the podcast with a Big Question, and some of the bravest thought leaders in online business will come together to mastermind our way through the question. Today's episode is all about mission driven branding, and why that is so important.

There is so much to unpack there - about work and accesibility, enterpreneurship as a literal life-saving measure, and resilience after trauma. But furthermore, this has become part of the way Jessica Naves runs her design business, helping event hosts put together events for all people in a variety of bodies.

It can be easy to get stuck in learning only from other people who do the same kind of business you do, and who have come before you or achieved what you are dreaming of. But the real magic, and the real innovation, comes from getting out of the echo chamber and building relationships with people in completely different industries and learning from them.

This week on the Big Brave Business podcast, I spoke with Deb Podlogar (The Mocktail Mom) about something we all struggle with as entrepreneurs: questioning our current direction while fighting the pull of shiny object syndrome.
Deb's journey represents a powerful business transformation. What began as simply "taking a break from alcohol" in 2021 evolved into what she calls a "mocktail empire" – complete with a book, membership, summit, podcast, and thriving social media community. Yet despite th...2025-04-2940 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterLearning from the Ancestral Wisdom of Resilience Hady MendezThis week, I welcome back my friend Hady Mendez to discuss how we navigate uncertain times while staying true to our missions. As DEI programs face backlash and many organizations retreat from their commitments, Hady shares how she's responding with renewed purpose and determination through writing a book focused on helping underestimated employees reclaim their power.Our conversation explores how resilience isn't just a skillset but a gift passed down through generations. Hady opens up about her journey from experiencing workplace microaggressions to becoming an advocate for others, illustrating how personal experiences can transform...2025-04-2243 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterThe Rise & Fall of DEI and Performative vs. Intentional Decision-MakingIn 2020, corporations couldn't post their black squares fast enough. DEI statements flowed like wine. Budgets materialized overnight. Promises were made with the conviction of zealots. And now? Those same companies are scrubbing DEI language from their websites faster than you can say "political backlash." In this week's episode with DEI and Learning & Development leader Noelle Johnson, we confronted this disturbing reality head-on: the rapid dismantling of diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts happening across American business.Meet Noelle JohnsonNoelle Johnson is a DEI and Learning & Development leader with over a decade of...2025-04-1553 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterWhen to Focus on Audience-Building: Becoming Known an Expert AuthorityOne thing I've always been adamant about (and will *literally never stop talking about*) is that when you first start a business, your priority should be making money—not building an audience. Building an audience is a long game. It takes time to see significant returns. Meanwhile, rent is due. Big influencer business coaches always give advice about what they would do if they were starting over today, but it's so out of touch to anyone who hasn't been making $100,000+/month! But... eventually... you reach a point where you have no choice but to prioritize audience building in order to...2025-04-0856 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterReframing Resilience in Life and BusinessIn this week's Big Brave Business episode, Alison Smith completely flips the script on what resilience actually means—and it's not about constantly bouncing back from hardship. Resilience isn't about recovery from challenges. It's about "springing back into the shape of ourselves." Alison shares the etymology of "thrive," which actually means "to grasp to oneself." Most of us have been sold this narrative that thriving means achievement, hustling, and end-goal success. But what if thriving simply means holding onto your sturdy center, especially when the world is trying to knock you off balance?Meet Al...2025-04-0151 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterParadigm Shifts, Emotional Intelligence, and UnlearningMy guest this week, Alex, has this gift of getting to the root—of seeing where the story behind the strategy is still running the show. She doesn’t offer formulas. She offers questions:→ Who are you outside of what you produce? → What systems trained you to hustle for validation? → How often are you overriding your body in service of your business?She reminded me (and maybe you need to hear it too): you can’t out-think your way out of emotional conditioning. You can’t logic your w...2025-03-2545 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterBONUS REPLAY: Should You Start a Non-Profit?It's PODCASTHON! Many of your favorite podcasts are highlighting mission-based charitable organizations of their choice this week, and we thought it would be a perfect time to remind you about Generation Fearless and Paulaska Ramirez, by replaying this episode from last month. Meet Paulaska:Paulaska S. Ramirez is an exceptional leader and advocate who has dedicated her life to making a positive impact on the lives of first-generation women. As the Founder and Executive Director of Generation Fearless, she has set out to transform the experiences of first-generation women, helping them navigate...2025-03-2053 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterTapping Into Your Intuition: What does 'being in alignment' even mean?If you've listened to this podcast since season 1 with my co-host and biz bestie Amanda, you probably already know that both Amanda and I are a more than a little skeptical when it comes to all things "woo." But in this week's episode, I got to meet a mutual friend Regyna Curtis, who leans all the way in on "woo." And, you might be as shocked as I was to find out that Regyna and I clicked immediately and had a really meaningful conversation about intuition and alignment. No matter where you fall on the scale of skepticism about...2025-03-1843 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterInstitutional Interrogation Leading with Core ValuesMy friend from NAWBO, Joanna Horton McPherson, is back on the podcast this week. Joanna and I love being friends because every conversation we have seems to turn into something big and brave. I hope you love this behind the scenes peek at what it's like in our friendship, and by the way... if these are the kinds of friends you want in your life, you can sit with us :) Come hang out with us on social media and in real life! Anyway, this week, Joanna and I are digging into this concept (and content pillar for BBB) of "...2025-03-1148 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterNot Good Enough: Imposter Syndrome and Starting OverThis week, I'm joined by new friend Diem Koole to talk all about her layoff story, the social and cultural (and internal!) pressure about achievement related to being laid off and pursuing entrepreneurship, and so much more. If you've ever felt you're not good enough, especially in the midst of a layoff season, you are going to relate to this episode. Meet DiemDiem Koole is a dynamic mompreneur passionate about balancing motherhood, creativity, and entrepreneurship. As the voice behind The Koole Mom blog and the upcoming podcast Coffee...2025-03-0444 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterSales Strategies Based on Human ConnectionSometimes I see a small business owner on Threads post something so evocative and aligned with my core values that I can't help it and I just reach out and invite them on the podcast. That's because with one really high impact post, I can tell that we could have an interesting and big, brave conversation about business. And really, that's the power of leveraging your core values to create human connection online and what my guest today, Fopsy, calls "creating superfans." We are talking all about this on the podcast today--and yes, we met on Threads.2025-02-2550 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterWhat Business Coaching Should Look LikeIf you've been listening to this podcast for awhile, you know I'm skeptical of business coaching, even though it's part of what I do. I've been one of the lucky ones on the receiving end of a massive investment into business coaching that didn't match my expectations or financial obligation, and I generally feel burned by the industry, like so many other online business owners. But coaching is a real field and business coaching is something a lot of people really could massively benefit from, if it is done right. My dear friend Amber Dancy joins me on the...2025-02-181h 05Big Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterShould You Start a Non-Profit?One of the things I've been thinking about for my own business is staring a non-profit/charitable arm in the Podfox umbrella. But meeting Paulaska Ramirez, my guest today, led to my realization that I never considered a non-profit as a business structure when I first became an entrepreneur. I definitely had the mindset that I was "staring a business" with the intention to make money... but I mean, CEOs of non-profits should get salaries, too. The point isn't that the team can't get paid (although that's not currently Paulaska's focus) but that the organization itself is not working...2025-02-1153 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterCapitalism, Anger, and Entrepreneurship as Public ServiceAt the crux of what I've been doing here with Big Brave Business is the question, "How do you become an entrepreneur, and grow and scale a business, with anti-capitalist values?" One of the reasons why my guest today, Joanna Horton McPherson, and I became instant friends is because people with shared values like that are really naturally drawn together. In part 1 with Joanna (she came back to record another episode, which will also come out in a couple of weeks), we are talking about how we build a business that's different than exactly the thing we wanted to...2025-02-0447 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterScaling & Growing While Rejecting Hustle CultureSammy Bohannon, my guest this week, and I bonded over the complexities of blending personal and professional relationships, and the importance of understanding each team member's unique needs and working styles. Sammy's teaching background has clearly shaped her ability to connect deeply with clients, and I was really interested to learn more about her strategies for rejecting hustle culture in favor of realistic goal-setting and avoiding the trap of busy work. This episode was a refreshing reminder that we can grow and scale our businesses without sacrificing our values or work-life balance. I'm excited to continue exploring how we...2025-01-2834 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterWhy Business Leaders Refuse to Be Brave About DEIBWe all remember the rise of emphasis on DEIB following George Floyd's murder and the increased attention on the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020. But shortly after, in 2023, those DEIB programs and priorities started declining. Now, there is almost a point of pride among companies retiring their DEIB programs and ERGs. My guest today, Michelle Beauchamp, came to me wanting to talk about why this is happening and what are the repercussions. And, in full transparency, we recorded this just 7 days after the 2024 Presidential Election (how appropriate that, with our emotions and anger running high, this episode is coming...2025-01-2155 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterThe Ethics of Community-Building and NetworkingI'm thrilled to welcome Gabby Borrero, the queen of community, to the podcast this week. Gabby is an entrepreneur, strategist, and numbers geek who helps mission-driven business owners build their network and their business. In this episode, Gabby and I dive deep into the power of networking, finding the right communities, and building authentic connections that bring joy and inspiration, even in challenging times. You won't want to miss Gabby's insights on leveling up your networking game.Connect with Gabby:https://www.noplanbconsulting.com/https://www.thenextgenerationnetwork.com/2025-01-1452 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterDeeply-Rooted Psychological Stories and Healing Your Inner ChildThis week, I'm joined by a new friend, Bri Norberg. In this episode, Bri and I get really vulnerable and share some of our deeply rooted stories from childhood and how they've shown up in our entrepreneurship journeys. Entrepreneurship shines a spotlight on literally all of your crap and you don't have a choice but to deal with it one way or another. I hope this episode resonates in both that you can see yourself in our stories, and we can help you heal your inner child as we work to heal our own, but also to experiment with...2025-01-0745 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterDigital Courses are Dead (Just Kidding, Your Course is Just Broken)Everyone is making predictions about online business in 2025 - what's in, and what's OUT. I know a lot of people are including digital courses and group programs in their predictions, but my episode title is actually just a joke - I think online learning is pivotal for the future, but the thing is, it's got to be done WELL. So I've brought my friend and returning guest Dr. Catrina Mitchum back to the podcast. Not just because you told me how much you love her previous episode, but also because she's a digital course expert. She's sharing all about...2024-12-3149 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterRadical Responsibility in Business and LifeYou've heard me mention Be You Brand Live, an event I spoke at a few months ago hosted by my friend Ati Grinspun in Las Vegas. One thing I LOVE about my friendship with Ati is that she really pushes me not just out of my comfort zone, but to really explore and challenge how my core values show up in different contexts. A great example of this is the resistance I felt when she brought up this concept of taking Radical Responsibility in your life and business during her opening remarks at her event. I'm so thrilled and...2024-12-2456 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterThe Intersection of White Supremacy and EntrepreneurshipThis conversation with Taina Brown is a powerful exploration of the insidious ways that white supremacy and capitalism have infiltrated online entrepreneurship. As a white woman, it was eye-opening to hear Taina's firsthand experiences navigating these systems as a non-white entrepreneur. Her insights on the coded language, biased algorithms, and lack of diversity in professional communities really challenged me to be more intentional about the spaces I create and the people I amplify. This episode is a must-listen for any entrepreneur who wants to build a business rooted in equity and justice, rather than perpetuating the harmful status quo. 2024-12-1755 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterLegal Fearmongering, Strategies, and Opportunities for EntrepreneursOne of my favorite resources in online business is my friend Amber Gilormo. She's a lawyer who runs an agency providing resources and contract templates for small businesses like ours. I personally use several of her templates and she's my go-to for all my legal questions. I'm even an affiliate for her program! I've learned so much just from following her on social media and I knew I had to have her on the pod so you can learn from her too.About Amber:Amber Gilormo is a practicing business and trademark...2024-12-1050 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterFeminist Business, Accountability, and MarketingThis week, my guest, Becky Mollenkamp, and I are talking about taking up space and showing up authentically, even in the face of criticism, when operating from a place of intersectional feminist values. I was really curious to hear about Becky's experience navigating social media as an outspoken advocate, and the challenges of building a business aligned with feminist principles within a capitalist system. Meet Becky Mollenkamp:Becky Mollenkamp (she/her) is an accountability coach for feminist founders who want to go after big goals without burning out.

She particularly uses her online platform to speak about the shame that so many entrepreneurs feel, especially around financial investments they've made into coaching scams. In today's episode, we're dissecting the shame, guilt, and insecurity that fuels the continued problems with online coaching, and how to overcome and thrive as entrepreneurs without falling the snake oil.Meet LIndsay:Lindsay Hyatt is a longtime copywriter, marketing strategist and...2024-11-2650 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterEntrepreneurial Innovation is BraveIn today's episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Jordan Gill, the automation expert and business mentor behind Systems Saved Me. We dove deep into the topic of innovation in business - what it really means, how to approach it, and why it's so important, even when things feel tough. Jordan shared some fantastic questions and prompts to help spark innovative thinking, like exploring how you can make your offerings bigger or smaller, faster or slower. We also discussed the power of changing up your delivery to better align with your mission. And of course, we encourage everyone...2024-11-1949 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterThe Politics of Business & EntrepreneurshipThis week, I'm joined by Alexandria Alecci of Alecci Media. Alexandria's passion for cultivating a diverse, values-driven culture in her marketing agency really resonated with me and the core mission of Big Brave Business. From her international experiences shaping her unique perspective on work-life balance to her thoughtful approach to navigating strong opinions and ethics in business, Alexandria offered so many insights that I know will inspire our audience of purpose-driven entrepreneurs.

Some of the hardest working people in the world are the least productive, least 'successful,' and least wealthy - and yet the wealthiest folks in the world don't work anywhere near as hard as those living under the poverty line. Where does the myth that hard work leads to success come from and why does it persist? My friend Lisa, a productivity coach, is back on the podcast today because her unique perspective about what 'productivity...2024-10-2940 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterAssessing Your Strengths for Business LeverageWhen you spend a lot of time in the spaces online where people are discussing online business (especially typical coaching spaces), you'll hear a lot of "one-size-fits-all" advice - about online courses, memberships, high ticket offers, low ticket offers, focusing on one thing, and raising your prices, just as a few common examples. But the reality is that we are all totally different people and therefore, we have totally different strengths. Rather than trying to fit into some kind of mold for success, my guest today (Hannah Miller) is here to break down the value of really learning about...2024-10-2247 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterMarketing Your Business Beyond Social MediaIt seems like every time you try to talk to someone about 'marketing' in the online business coaching space, they just want to talk about social media. Now don't get me wrong, social media is full of opportunities for personal branding, marketing, and messaging. BUT... there are so many other ways to market your business! Emily Aborn is back this week because we both feel passionately about this.

Did you know that founders are more likely to have suicidal ideation? I didn't, so this conversation floored me. Here's the resource we looked up and referenced in this episode:https://www.entrepreneur.com/living/why-entrepreneurs-could-be-at-a-higher-risk-for-suicide/432083Meet Dee:Dee is a leadership and performance improvement coach with a passion f...2024-10-0847 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterRadical Self Care for Leaders in BusinessY'ALL my friend Dr. Cherie is my guest on the podcast today and you are going to love her as much as I do. She is sharing all about radical self care and burnout for entrepreneurs - but this is not the conversation about burnout you've heard before.

So when Alenka and I met on Threads and she mentioned she wanted to talk about burnout, I knew right away that I wanted to make sure this was a conversation that goes beyond just 'what is burnout,' 'what does burnout feel like,' 'how can you avoid burnout,' etc. Alenka and I explored the gendered nuances of burnout - and although there are many other factors and characteristics that can also impact your relationship with burnout, this episode is specifically...2024-07-0945 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterIs HR an Ally, an Obstacle, or an Enemy?Human Resources is such an interesting beast. I have certainly felt both the benefits and the obstacles of HR in a typical 9-5 corporate environment, and it's a whole other complicated aspect of business as a small business owner. I asked my friend, HR consultant Kirsten Zeigler, to join me for this week's episode of Big Brave Business to talk about HR's role in business, when we need HR, and the ethical complications with AND without HR.About Kirsten:Kirsten Zeigler is a people and culture expert on a mission to reshape...2024-07-0247 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterNetworking Can Lead to Amazing OpportunitiesWe've talked about networking on this podcast before, because in the fall of last year I did an ambitious (read: crazy) networking challenge. I learned a lot during that experiment that I've been implementing in 2024, and my guest today has a lot of experience making the most of networking, too. The reality is that although it's hard, and it's awkward, and it's uncomfortable, and it pushes you out of your element, it can also lead to the most incredible opportunities and growth.About Sherry Redwine:Sherry Redwine has been in the pet...2024-06-2539 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterBig Brave Women in BusinessThis episode has been a long time coming, because my friend and team member Katie Carson is finally joining me on the podcast. Katie and I met because she listened to the podcast, and then reached out to chat in general, which led to us working together to launch her podcast Ditch the Ick, and now she's even joined the Podfox team as an account manager.In this episode, we started with this general concept of "what does it mean to be big and brave in business," which led to all kinds of topics...2024-06-1854 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterWOC and Allies at WorkWhen Hady Mendez came to me and said she wanted to talk about the experience of WOC at work, I was absolutely sure I wanted to have the conversation and also I wasn't sure how best to go about it as a white woman myself. This was an interesting conversation where Hady was able to share her own experience as a woman of color and the ways she's devoted her career to supporting other women of color at work, and I was able to lean in and learn as a white woman and a self-proclaimed ally about how I...2024-06-1146 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterThe Problem with the Course Creation IndustryAlright besties, I'll level with you. I used to have an online course, and I HATED IT. I share why in this episode, but also, I definitely think online courses are in my future business model because I want to make podcasting as accessible as possible to as many people as possible. But I have learned the hard way that online courses are not a get-rich-quick scheme and it's not easy to make them effective.

The standard practices for recruitment, hiring, and onboarding are totally archaic and suck. My guest today is my friend and client, Carly Patryluk. She's a pet business owner who has revolutionized her recruitment and hiring methods. In this episode, we are chatting about what matters to us when hiring and onboarding our team members, what we look for in team members, what is broken when it comes recruitment standards in business.About...2024-05-2150 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterLearning to Trust Yourself and Leave Self Abandonment BehindSelf-Abandonment runs deeper than saying no when you want to say yes or saying yes when you want to say no (although that counts!). Self-Abandonment is actually a symptom of conditioned beliefs about prioritizing others' needs, emotions, or acceptance over your own. If you ever struggled to feel seen, safe, or soothed in childhood, this will show up in adulthood as self-abandonment.For leaders in business, ALL of our wounds, trauma, and mindset issues get pushed to the forefront. That can often look like struggling to follow your intuition and getting caught up in everyone else's advice...2024-05-1449 minBig Brave Business: Revolutionary Leadership and Entrepreneurship for Millennials with Sarah HeeterNormative Gender Roles for Husbands of Women in BusinessThis week I'm joined by my friend and client Becky Aste... and our husbands!

It’s critical to set aside time to consider what is serving those new goals and priorities… and what isn’t.

Lessons Learned from LaunchingThis summer, we have both been inundated by launches - client launches, launches from people we follow, and launches in our own businesses.
