What happens when you share your transformation with pride… and get body-shamed for it? This episode hits harder than usual. Chris and I go 1 layer deeper into the story behind a post that sparked backlash — and how it ignited a fire in me to rise higher, louder, and hotter than ever. We’re talking: 🔥 Turning shame into fuel 🔥 What to do when your growth threatens others 🔥 Navigating relationships when only one partner is...

In this episode, I sit down with Caden Hutchens, CEO of O2V and host of ISSA’s Hard Refresh podcast, to talk about what it really takes to grow into leadership—especially when you didn’t start at the top. Caden’s story is one of deep ownership, vision, and long-term investment. We talk about what it means to be an intrapreneur inside someone else’s business, how to step into authority with humility, and why trusting people before ...

This episode is probably one of our most honest Date Mornings yet. Chris and I talk about burnout, deep reflection, and the uncomfortable truth that you can’t be coached if you won’t own your mistakes. From calling each other out (with permission) to rewriting personal stories we were too ashamed to share—we get real about what it actually takes to grow. We also talk about the power of public accountability, removing ego from l...

In this episode, I sit down with Naylor Taliaferro—better known as the Lawn Care Rookie—to talk about what happens when you stop trying to 2X your life… and start building a 10X one. From burnout in retail to hosting the LCR Summit and running multiple businesses, Naylor shares what it really took to create momentum. We dive into coaching, letting go of identity, and why the “fast pass” isn’t cheating—it’s choosing to go deeper, f...

This episode is straight from a recent live workshop where I walk through exactly how to fix broken recruiting systems—and stop wasting time on interviews that go nowhere. I’m sharing the real numbers: time, money, and energy most business owners lose when using outdated hiring methods. Then I walk you through the Stacked Interview strategy we’ve used at WootRecruit to change the game. And it works across home service, cleaning, a...

This special Libby Live presentation—“The CT Fingerprint”—is about changing the way we hire, forever. I’m sharing the official launch of the CT Fingerprint: a first-of-its-kind framework to identify what actually makes a great residential cleaning technician. This is based on real data, real interviews, and the real traits we’ve been missing. But this presentation goes deeper. I open up about my roots (yes, elephants and all),...

We hit 200 hours of intense work in two weeks—and totally forgot how to stop. In this episode, Chris and I talk about the sprint we just pushed through, the burnout we didn’t expect, and how we’re learning (the hard way) to build in real rest. We go deep on managing energy over time, embracing the idea of a “minimum viable product” even outside of software, and how our self-sabotaging patterns sneak in the right when we’re at our ...

This one isn’t polished. It’s personal. I’m coming to you solo after one of the toughest weeks I’ve had in business in a while. A long-time employee turned competitor. Clients lost. Lies exposed. And a hard truth I had to face: I saw the signs, and I didn’t act. If you’ve ever been burned by someone you trusted… if you’ve ever felt that gut-punch betrayal after giving someone opportunity, support, and second chances—this episod...

What if I told you the way you're interviewing right now is costing you over $80,000 a year? In this Deep Dive episode, I’m walking you through the real math behind recruiting inefficiency, and exactly how we do it differently at WootRecruit. From quality control to time-wasting interviews, to why your HR team might be sabotaging scale in the name of “job security”—we’re getting into it. I’m sharing how we built a hiring proces...

In this Date Mornings episode, Chris and I are talking about something that’s wrecked deadlines, team trust, and even self-worth—confidence bias. It’s that little voice in your head that says “Yeah, I can get it done,” even when you’re already maxed out. It’s the reason we overcommit, underdeliver, and stay stuck in burnout. And we’re seeing it everywhere: in our team, in clients, and yep… in ourselves too. We share real storie...

This episode hits deep. From a resort in Mexico (yes, kind of in a bathing suit again — you’ve been warned 😏), I’m getting real about one of the hardest lessons in business: putting the wrong person in charge. We’ve all done it—hired or promoted someone too fast, out of burnout, desperation, or straight-up hope. And when it backfires, it doesn’t just hurt revenue… it wrecks culture. In this Firestarter, I’m sharing the sign...

This Firestarter episode is all about cutting the noise and getting clear. Chris and I discuss what "1 Layer Deep" really means, not as a tactic or a checklist but as a way of thinking. It’s about simplifying how you lead, make decisions, and show up when everything feels messy. We share how we use this lens in life, business, parenting, and team leadership and why most people stay stuck not because they don’t work hard but bec...

We thought this would be a quick couples planning session… and two weeks later, here we are. 😅 In this Date Mornings episode, Chris and I go deep on the Time Value Matrix we created to help business owners like us figure out where their time is actually going—and where it SHOULD be. If you’ve got multiple ventures, side hustles, or locations, this is the framework that will change everything. We also talk about the danger of b...

In this Firestarter episode, we’re lighting up one of the biggest lies in business: that more meetings will fix broken teams. The truth is, if you’re scheduling meeting after meeting trying to “align” people, you’re just covering up deeper leadership gaps. Systems won’t save you. Checklists won’t make your team care more. And processes won’t replace the emotional connection you’ve failed to build. Leading isn’t about mana...

Let’s talk about delegation that actually works. If you’re still micromanaging your inbox or triple-checking what your assistant’s allowed to touch, I hate to break it to you—but you don’t have an assistant. You have a task-taker. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal Delegation Framework—the same one that helped me go from “doing everything” to letting my assistant run entire retreats, speak to vendors, and make calls on ...

This Date Mornings episode with Chris is a must-listen if hiring feels harder than ever. We’re breaking down what’s being called The Great Stay — a shift where people aren’t leaving jobs, pay bumps aren’t enough to move them, and turnover is slowing down across the board. Inside this episode: 🔸Why your job postings aren’t getting traction 🔸How inflated salaries from COVID are haunting businesses now 🔸Why applicants are ...

We need to talk about automations… because y’all, it’s gotten out of hand. Everyone's selling the “automate your business and gain your freedom” dream, but if your systems suck, you’re just automating chaos. In this Firestarter🔥 episode, I’m breaking down why most automations fall flat, how the GHL reseller craze is turning into an MLM vibe, and what actually works when it comes to scaling with tech. ⚠️ Spoiler alert: it’s not...

The Great Resignation is over... welcome to the Great Stay. In this solo episode, I break down what’s actually happening in today’s hiring market—and why it feels so hard to find (and keep) great people right now. From inflated wages and hiring hangovers to the shift from leaders to doers, this is a must-listen for any business owner feeling stuck. It’s time to right-size, reset, and rethink how we attract real talent. Let’s...
