In Episode 11 of Ignite180, we’re sitting down with Melanie Rivera, CEO of Breaker28, for a real and powerful conversation about what it takes to build a business that is positioned to profit from day one—and why so many leaders miss this crucial step.
Melanie, known for her expertise in building people-first organizations and creating strategies that generate revenue and impact, shares what scaling a business intentionally really looks like. Together, we unpack the mindsets, systems, and leadership choices that separate businesses that struggle from those that thrive and sustain.
In this episode, we dive into:
- The difference between growing a business and scaling one profitably
- Why clarity and alignment are non-negotiables for sustainable success
- The hidden leadership gaps that keep businesses from generating revenue early
- How mission-driven leaders can stay true to their purpose and build wealth
- Practical strategies to set up systems that drive profit without burning out
Whether you're in the early stages of launching, thinking about scaling, or looking for ways to shift from "busy" to "profitable," this conversation will give you the insight and tools to think like a CEO from day one.
If you’re ready to build a business that leads with purpose but doesn’t leave profit on the table, this episode is for you.
Tune in and get ready to think differently about success, scale, and leadership!
