#35 Stop Chasing Rates, Start Building Trust with John DePaul

This week we sit down with John DePaul, a mortgage lender with Movement Mortgage who’s been in the game for over two decades… and still figuring it out in real time. John gets real about something most people in high-pressure, commission-based careers don’t talk about enough… anxiety. From panic attacks to the unpredictability of commission life, he shares what it actually feels like to build a business when nothing is guaranteed. We get into how he turned that anxiety into an advantage, why relationships beat rates every single time, and what to do when business gets quiet and your mind starts going places you don’t want it to go. It’s honest, it’s unfiltered, and it’s a reminder that consistency beats perfection… every time. If you’ve ever thought, “what if it all just stops tomorrow?”… yeah, this one’s for you.

#34: From Jewelry Maker to Community Builder - with Jessica Gebauer

Jess Gebauer, founder of Krysset in Yardley, joins us for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had about what it really takes to build a business. From spending decades in the jewelry industry to walking away from it completely, Jess shares how she pivoted into building something bigger than just a store. She breaks down the mindset shift from maker to business builder, and why being the “hype person” for others became her superpower. We get into the realities of opening a storefront, the misconception that business owners “have it made,” and how small towns don’t grow through competition, but through collaboration. Jess explains her philosophy of giving people just one more reason to come back and how that approach helped shape not just her business, but the entire local community. And then we go deeper. Jess opens up about the first two years of Krysset being the hardest season of her life, not because of the business, but because of what was happening at home. It’s a raw look at what it means to keep showing up when everything feels like it’s falling apart. If you’re building something, thinking about starting, or just trying to keep going, this episode is a reminder that success isn’t about perfection. It’s about grit, community, and putting one foot in front of the other... again and again.

#33 - You Don’t Need to Have It All Figured Out - with Scott Ogur

Scott Ogur is a CFO, a founder… and yeah, kind of who Jonesy wants to be when he grows up 😅 But this one isn’t about titles. It’s about the long game. From getting laid off at a big bank to building a 20+ year partnership that actually works, Scott breaks down what it really takes to grow something meaningful without burning yourself out. We talk: • Trust over ego • Wins, losses, and everything in between • Why “Yin and Yang” matters more than any business plan And of course… we go where we always go Mental health. Punching bags over people. Letting things go. Being a goldfish (yes, really). Because the truth is… nobody fully has it figured out. And maybe that’s the point.

#32 When Life Shifts, So Do You

This week on Minding Our Business, we’re sitting down with photographer, studio owner, and all-around pivot queen, Sarah Anne. Sarah’s journey is anything but linear. What started as a passion for photography turned into a freelance career, then evolved into business ownership, and now… another major shift as she steps into the world of nursing. Along the way, she’s navigated changing economic climates, made tough calls, and learned how to rebuild when things didn’t go as planned. We talk about what it really looks like to pivot, not just once, but multiple times, and how to keep going when the path ahead feels uncertain. Sarah also shares the story behind reopening Hatboro Studios, a creative space designed for photographers, videographers, podcasters, and artists to build and collaborate, and how subletting studio space became both a business move and a way to support her local creative community. And in a full-circle moment, we revisit the fact that Sarah was actually the photographer at Jess’s wedding… which Jess remembers very little of (for reasons we’ll let her explain 😅). This episode is for anyone who feels like they’re in a season of change, questioning their next move, or trying to find that “light at the end of the tunnel.” Because sometimes, you don’t find the light… you create it.
