The One with the Queen of Business, Emily Frisella

What happens when ambition, boundaries, analog planners, and real life collide? We get candid with Emily Frisella about building businesses without burning everything down. From learning how to delegate and say no without guilt, to why paper planners are making a comeback, this conversation cuts through the highlight reel and gets honest about growth, family dynamics, social media fatigue, and what transparency in business actually looks like. They talk routines that work, support systems that matter, remote work realities, and why success feels better when it includes balance, boundaries, and a few four-legged coworkers. Real talk. Real growth. No fluff.

The One with Rodents & Strategy

Let’s talk about the stuff most marketing convos gloss over. This episode dives into: * Why “knowing your audience” isn’t just a slide on a pitch deck * How analytics should drive strategy (not just sit in a dashboard) * And why sales + marketing need to stop playing tug-of-war You’ll get spicy stories, real talk on what’s actually hard in marketing right now, and a reminder that clarity > complexity, especially when it comes to clients. Bottom line? Your strategy isn’t sacred. If the data says it’s flopping, adapt. And maybe, just maybe, build a relationship before trying to sell someone a retargeting funnel.
