Episode #313: Hunter Austin

Tania Khazaal (Tanya the Herbalist), CEO of Your Life Tania Khazaal—better known as Tanya the Herbalist—is a coach, creator, and community builder helping people reclaim health, purpose, and agency. After witnessing her mother’s decline on pharmaceuticals, Tania dove into herbalism, rebuilt her own well-being, and transformed a tea side-hustle into a seven-figure, mission-driven brand. Today, through CEO of Your Life and her She’s Empowered community, she champions faith, emotional resilience, and practical daily habits that create lasting change. In this episode, Tania shares how she shifted from corporate life and basement tea packing to digital products, courses, and coaching—while keeping her compass set on faith, family, and service. Her framework centers on four pillars (inner world/spirituality, lifestyle & well-being, relationships, and vision/legacy) and a deceptively simple cadence: 18 minutes a day. Top Takeaways From crisis to calling: Her mother’s health battle sparked a deep dive into herbalism and holistic healing, leading to a purpose-led business. Product → platform: Moving from physical teas to ebooks, funnels, and courses unlocked scale and financial freedom. Four-pillar operating system: Inner world (faith), health, relationships, and vision—progress across all four creates durable happiness. Relationships matter: She spotlights estrangement as a “silent epidemic” and teaches emotional regulation over cut-off culture. 18 minutes a day: Small, daily commitments compound to ~100 hours/year—enough to change your health, business, and life.

Episode #261: Bruce Beaumont Part 2

Bruce Beaumont: Helping Business Owners Unlock Profit with Ascendwise Bruce Beaumont, founder of Ascendwise, specializes in helping service-based business owners take control of their numbers so they can build profitable, thriving companies. His work matters because too many entrepreneurs find themselves overworked, stressed, and trapped by cash flow struggles. Bruce offers them a CLEAR path to regain control, increase profit, and enjoy running their business again. Top 5 Takeaways from the Episode: The Profit–Cashflow Catch-22: Many owners feel trapped—unable to pay themselves more because profit is low, yet unable to increase profit without more cash. Bruce shows how efficiency and profitability, not just cash injections, break this cycle. Focus on Profit Drivers: Four critical areas—gross profit, payroll, overhead, and marketing—determine net profit. Small shifts in these numbers create major improvements in long-term outcomes. The Power of Pricing: Raising prices strategically can often boost profit, even if sales volume decreases. Bruce explains how many businesses can lose up to 20–50% of customers and still maintain profit margins. KPIs Over Gut Feel: Too many owners run their business by watching their bank account balance. Bruce stresses that key performance indicators (KPIs) are the real levers that show what’s working, what’s not, and where to focus effort. Clear Focus = Business Growth: With thousands of potential tasks to tackle, owners often waste energy. Bruce emphasizes focusing on a few core drivers that directly impact profit, cash flow, and growth.
