#44 My End Game

In this episode of The Endgame Entrepreneur, Kassie shares her personal endgame vision: building a life on 30 acres in North Carolina with space for family, events, and a deep connection to nature. She discusses how she and her husband, a military family nearing retirement, have intentionally planned for this dream, using tools like MindMeister to align daily actions with long-term goals. Kassie also talks with her eight-year-old daughter, Coco, about her own aspirations, ranging from becoming an architect to owning a Chick-fil-A or moving to a big city. The episode highlights the importance of setting clear goals, making intentional choices, and taking small but meaningful steps toward a dream life. Kassie encourages listeners to reflect on their own endgame, stay focused on their vision, and take consistent action to make it a reality.

#42 Bridget & Lydia from Visibility on Purpose

The Endgame Entrepreneur podcast, hosted by Kassie, has been rebranded from the Mastermind Mixer to focus more on long-term entrepreneurial goals, including retirement and legacy building. In this episode, Kassie speaks with Bridget and Lydia, co-founders of Visibility on Purpose, a PR and media training company helping small businesses gain exposure without massive budgets. They discuss common PR misconceptions, emphasizing that media coverage isn’t just about pitching products but aligning with a publication’s goals and audience interests. They highlight the importance of knowing one’s own business objectives before pursuing media placements, as PR is a long-term brand growth strategy rather than a quick advertising fix. The conversation concludes with insights on alternative visibility strategies, such as podcast tours, and the necessity of goal clarity in both PR and business operations.
