• The Distinctive Edge as a Business Owner in 2025 04.07.2025 45min

  There's something that no one tells you when you start a business: it's not always about who's the smartest, who has the best graphics, or who shouts the loudest online. The ones who make it, the ones who actually last, have something else.   They have an edge.   In this episode, I sat down with Megan Yelaney, one of the most grounded, no-BS business coaches I know. Megan's been in the game since 2012. She's seen trends come and go. She's seen launches blow up and businesses burn out. And what she's learned is that the entrepreneurs who stand out aren't the ones doing the most—they're the ones who know who the hell they are.   Megan coined the phrase "your distinctive edge," and let me tell you: once you hear her break it down, it will change how you show up. We're talking about building a brand that feels like home.   From the power of being relatable and aspirational, to why repeating your origin story weekly isn't annoying (it's genius), to how to craft a personal brand that doesn't burn you out—this is a full-on mini masterclass. And it's one that every woman in business needs to hear.   In this episode, you'll learn:  [00:50] | Megan's Journey From Network Marketing to Business Strategy How Megan went from wellness to coaching, and what she discovered about the people who actually stick around in the industry.   [03:36] | Why Building a Lasting Business Matters More Than a Big Launch The longevity in business and why "slow and steady is sexy."   [04:19] | What If You Don't Feel Like You Have a Distinctive Edge? Why being "normal" is actually your advantage and how your personality can become your most potent brand asset.   [05:52] | The Power of Being Relatable AND Aspirational How to find that sweet spot between being your audience's bestie and their biggest goal.   [08:04] | The Chanel Bag Moment A real-talk moment about values, wealth, and being rooted in what actually matters to you.   [11:27] | Megan's 5-Part Framework for Your Business Story Megan walks through the exact blueprint to make your story unforgettable.   [16:50] | A Real Client Example of Turning Story into Strategy Megan shares a case study of how a health coach unlocked her edge through her unique "Foundation Fix" phase.   [18:28] | Where & How Often Should You Tell Your Story? From emails to reels to carousels—Megan breaks down the content strategy behind storytelling that actually converts.   [19:49] | The Carousel That Got 9 Inquiries + 3 High-Ticket Sales in 48 Hours How one hook ("I gained 10 pounds during COVID...") turned into real sales—and why simplicity works.   [22:00] | Why Repetition is Key—Even on Instagram Why you should be telling your story every single week, and how to change the hook, not the heart of the message.   [24:14] | Can You Have More Than One Origin Story? Spoiler: YES. We unpack how different stories attract different clients—and how to choose the right one.   [26:56] | It's Okay Not to Share Certain Stories Even if your story is powerful—like infertility, loss, divorce—you get to choose what becomes part of your brand.   [30:13] | How to Tell Stories That Connect Without Always Selling Not every post needs a CTA to sell—sometimes, connection is enough.   [32:34] | Organic Selling That Doesn't Feel Like Selling Megan's philosophy on "selling without selling," and how to invite people to work with you in a way that feels like service.   [34:48] | The 5-Day Storytelling Challenge Share one story every day you're on social media—and watch what happens.   [36:07] | Sam's London Marathon Confession My personal story from the London Marathon—and how it connects directly to my brand values.   [40:30] | The Power of Personality and Values in Building Trust This might be the most important takeaway: people hire people they know.

• Using Email Marketing to Make Sales in Your Business 13.06.2025 47min

  You know those moments when you're doing all the things in your business like sending the newsletter, posting on socials, launching different offers—but your email list still feels like it's just… there? Not converting. Not doing much of anything. I've been there too. That's exactly why I brought on today's guest: Kennedy from Email Marketing Heroes.   Kennedy has helped over 8,000 paying clients master email marketing in a way that's simple, sustainable, and actually profitable. Before all that? He was a psychological entertainer performing on luxury cruise ships (yes, really). So when he talks about understanding people, (and getting them to take action) he knows exactly what he's doing.   In this episode, we go deep into the real purpose of your email list, how to finally build what Kennedy calls your "sausage machine" (aka a system that predictably turns subscribers into buyers), and why sending more emails—yes, even three a week—might be the smartest move you make this year.   Because here's the truth: building a list isn't enough. What you need is a system. A machine. Something that runs in the background and brings in sales on repeat.   This conversation is a full-on masterclass in how to stop winging it with your emails and start selling with clarity and confidence—without spending hours writing newsletters no one reads.   In this episode, you'll learn: [04:22] | Why Your Business Is Harder Without an Email List Kennedy breaks down why every part of your business gets easier once you have an engaged list, and what you're missing if you're not converting through email.   [08:31] | The Only 3 Things You Should Focus On in Your Business Those 3 things being audience building, conversion, and service, and how email automates one whole chunk of your workload.   [13:59] | The Sausage Machine Strategy: Turn Leads into Sales How to create a system where every subscriber becomes a buyer and why most people never scale because they skip this part.   [19:25] | The Truth About Email Metrics Kennedy explains why the only metric that matters is how today compares to yesterday.   [24:30] | Want Higher Open Rates? Email More Often The real reason people aren't opening your emails (it's not your subject lines) and why you should be emailing 3x a week—minimum.   [28:22] | The Simple Email Framework That Converts: Story, Lesson, Offer How Kennedy writes daily emails that sell, in 15 minutes or less and how you can steal this method today.   [34:14] | Planning Your Email Calendar Around Promotions How to structure story-based emails around launch windows without overwhelming your list or yourself.   [36:02] | Which Email Software Should You Use? Kennedy's honest take on choosing the right platform (spoiler: pick the one that makes you want to puke the least).   [40:23] | Haven't Emailed in a While? Send This First Use Kennedy's "Terrible Friend" email template to warm a cold list without scaring people off.   [43:23] | How to Write High-Converting Emails Faster (With or Without AI) The secret to ditching blank-page paralysis—plus how to use ChatGPT the right way to write emails in your voice.

• The Power of Having a Podcast with James Burtt 06.06.2025 41min

  Picture this: you're sitting at your desk, maybe with a coffee in hand, thinking about all the content you should be creating to grow your brand. Instagram posts. Reels. Email newsletters. Maybe a blog or two. It feels like a never-ending hamster wheel, right?   Now imagine if one piece of content could do all of that for you. One episode. Multiple platforms. Endless visibility. That's the power of podcasting—and today, we're going deep into exactly how that works.   In this episode, I'm joined by one of the most experienced voices in the podcasting world, James Burtt. James isn't just a podcast strategist—he's launched over 180 shows (and counting), worked with celebrity names and global brands like Ted Baker, and built a business by helping others amplify their voice in ways that actually drive results.   But James didn't come from a glamorous broadcasting background. He was a "failed" radio presenter who decided to figure it out as he went—and in doing so, he's uncovered the real strategies that work for everyday entrepreneurs, coaches, consultants, and creatives who want to show up, stand out, and serve.   This isn't just a conversation about microphones or software (though we talk about that too). It's a full-blown masterclass on content leverage, business positioning, audience building, and the behind-the-scenes truths most people don't tell you about launching a podcast.   In this episode, you'll learn: [04:22] | Why You Shouldn't Start a Podcast (Unless...) James breaks the myth that everyone should have a podcast and shares the real criteria to know if it's right for you.   [05:04] | The Podcast as a Content Engine We explore how one episode can be repurposed into 10+ forms of content across all platforms, boosting ROI and visibility.   [07:14] | Should You Start on Zoom or Go Full Studio? James talks about matching your podcast production level with your brand and why "done is better than perfect." [09:59] | 80% of Podcasting is Promotion If you only focus on recording and not promoting, you're missing the point. Learn how to actually make your podcast work for you.   [12:03] | The 3 Most Common Podcast Goals (and How to Meet Them) From signing clients to building authority to avoiding video, we cover different podcast strategies based on your outcome.   [14:51] | How One Podcast Rekindled a £80k Client Deal James shares jaw-dropping stories of how businesses have used podcasts to land major deals—often without even trying.   [16:19] | How to Turn Guests into Ambassadors A step-by-step email strategy to make your guests feel like stars and help them promote your show.   [18:57] | Should You Do Solo Episodes, Interviews, or Panels? No right answer here—just lots of smart advice on how to choose (or mix) formats based on your audience and your goals.   [21:25] | Why Solo Episodes Build Expertise Fast Nervous to go solo? James explains why these are crucial for personal branding and trust.   [26:01] | The Truth About Show Notes (and SEO) What actually gets pulled into search rankings and how to write show notes that help your podcast get found.   [30:18] | Best Low-Cost Tools to Uplevel Your Podcast We discuss tools like Riverside, Opus Clip, and Otter.ai to help you record, edit, and repurpose your show without overwhelm.   [33:35] | Nailing the Intro and Outro Tips on how to hook listeners in the first 3 seconds and create calls to action that actually convert.   [37:08] | Why Consistency is Everything James leaves us with a golden reminder: consistency is your podcast's secret weapon.

• What is Intentional Thinking with Pete Cohen 09.05.2025 53min

  Let's get real—this is one of the most honest and freeing conversations I've had, not just with myself, but with someone who truly gets it. In this episode, I'm joined by Pete Cohen, keynote speaker, author, and internationally renowned coach with over 30 years of experience helping people and organizations move from simply surviving to fully thriving.   Pete has coached Olympic champions, corporate leaders, and some of the most high-performing individuals in the world. In this episode, he brings his signature blend of wisdom, clarity, and radical encouragement to our conversation about intentional thinking, identity, and creating a life that feels deeply aligned.   I'm also opening up about why I took a pause from this podcast—not because I was burned out, but because I felt deeply called to slow down, get quiet, and listen to what my life was trying to tell me. That space gave me the clarity I didn't know I was missing—and it's reshaping everything, from my business model to how I define success.   Pete and I also talk about the very human experience of navigating transitions—the messy middle between who you've been and who you're becoming—and how intentional thinking can be a grounding force in that process.   This is a heart-led conversation about doing business, motherhood, creativity, and life differently. More honestly. More freely. More aligned.   In this episode, you'll learn: [03:15] | Why I Took a Step Back from the Podcast I talk about the intuitive pause I felt called to take, how it led to a powerful reset, and why those quieter seasons can be the most transformational.   [06:40] | The Real Reason I'm Restructuring My Business I open up about what burnout taught me about hustle culture, my own limits, and the importance of honoring the season I'm in.   [10:25] | Embracing Ease Without Losing Momentum I'm learning to lead with more softness, stillness, and self-trust—and I share how that's showing up in both my life and business right now.   [15:30] | What Happens When You Release Control This part gets vulnerable: the magic (and discomfort) of surrendering outcomes, and why that surrender has been essential to my growth.   [21:10] | A New Way to Think About Productivity I'm redefining what it means to "get things done"—without pushing, proving, or performing.   [28:00] | How My Business Model Was Draining Me I realized my current structure no longer fits who I am. I share the bold shifts I'm making to create more freedom, flow, and alignment.   [34:45] | The Power of Full Presence in Motherhood and Entrepreneurship I reflect on what I'm learning about being with what is—instead of holding onto what was or rushing into what's next.   [40:15] | Reconnecting to Creativity and Content From a Place of Authenticity When my voice went quiet, I had to learn how to stop forcing content. I talk about how I'm reigniting my creativity from a deeper, truer place.   [47:05] | What's Next for the Brand and Community I give you a behind-the-scenes look at what's evolving—from new offers to the ways I want to serve with even more depth and intention.   Connect with me on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/_samanthahearne_/    Connect with Pete Cohen here: https://www.petecohen.com/    Join The Bulletproof Experience Membership here: https://www.samanthahearneproducts.com/Bulletproof

  I want you to imagine this—your business is growing, you've got sales, you're doing "the thing"… but there's still that little voice that says, "How do I get to that level? How do I go from being in the game to being the one people can't stop watching?" That's exactly what we're diving into today. To do things your way. To get visible without the cringe.

• You and Your Energetic Execution 11.04.2025 27min

  Imagine this: It's a Tuesday, your brain feels like a browser with 38 tabs open, and somehow you're expected to be everything to everyone—business owner, partner, friend, maybe a parent too—while still making time to drink enough water and act like you've got it all together. Sound familiar?   In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and getting real with you about something that's been coming up A LOT lately—in my own life, with my clients, and in conversations with so many women: the myth of "doing it all." Because truthfully? Trying to be everywhere, for everyone, all the time… it's not just exhausting—it's unsustainable. And it's time we stop celebrating it.   I'm diving into what "balance" really looks like when you're running a business, living a full life, and trying not to lose yourself in the middle of it all. We're talking boundaries, burnout, energy, and the powerful shift that happens when you give yourself full permission to do less, but with so much more intention.   So whether you're out on a walk, folding laundry, or just taking a moment for yourself, this one's for you.   In this episode, you'll learn: [03:10] | The Myth of Balance My journey chasing the elusive idea of "balance" and how it nearly led me to burnout.  What I've learned to do instead that works a whole lot better.   [06:42] - Real Talk on Boundaries How to stop feeling guilty for saying "no" and start honoring our own needs. How I set (and stick to) boundaries, and why it's a radical act of self-respect.   [10:25] - When Hustle Culture Backfires Why hustle culture is a trap. The pressure we all feel to "do it all" and why I'm done with that mindset.   [13:53] - The Power of Doing Less How I've simplified my business (and my life) in a way that still makes a major impact, but without all the chaos and overwhelm.   [17:38] - Parenting + Business: Can They Coexist? Lessons learned as a mom and entrepreneur. Highs and lows of trying to balance raising kids with running a business.   [20:50] - Listener Q&A "What if people get mad when I set boundaries?"

• The Month of the Marathon 04.04.2025 13min

  It's officially April, which means I am just weeks away from tackling one of the biggest challenges on my bucket list: the London Marathon. And let me tell you, this journey has been everything—grueling, exhilarating, humbling, and absolutely packed with lessons that apply far beyond running.   So, here's the deal. I used to be a PE teacher, which means I love a good sports metaphor (get ready for plenty!). But more than that, training for this marathon has made me reflect on something huge: how eerily similar the road to running 26.2 miles is to building a business. The setbacks, the unexpected challenges, the absolute need to invest in yourself—it all translates. And trust me, some of these insights will hit you right between the eyes.   In this episode, I'm peeling back the curtain on what marathon training has really taught me about success. From pushing through freezing winter runs (hello, English weather!) to investing in the right support (yes, I spent £180 on trainers and no, I do not regret it), this journey has been a masterclass in resilience, commitment, and trusting the process. And guess what? The same principles apply to you and your business.   Whether you're launching something new, scaling up, or just trying to figure out your next move—this episode is for you.    In this episode, you'll learn: [01:30 - 03:15] | Sports Metaphors & Life Lessons Former PE teacher, loves sports analogies. Sports and business have so much in common. Some lessons will be obvious, others surprising.   [03:15 - 05:00] | Training Struggles & Self-Discovery Winter training has been rough—cold weather, injuries, setbacks. But these challenges have revealed a lot about resilience. Pushing through struggles is part of the process.   [05:00 - 06:45] | The Activator Mindset Identifying as an "activator"—helping others take action. Realising the importance of activating myself first. Consumption vs. absorption of knowledge—are we really taking in what we learn?   [06:45 - 08:30] | Parallels Between Marathon Training & Business Success isn't just about showing up on race day—it's about preparation. Business is the same: strategy, execution, and persistence matter. Biggest personal & financial investments in 2025—business coach + marathon.   [08:30 - 10:15] | Investing in the Right Support Spent £180 on proper running shoes—ouch, but worth it! Cheap shortcuts can lead to setbacks (injuries in running, failure in business). The right investments make success sustainable.   [10:15 - 11:45] | Embracing the Process Growth feels uncomfortable, but it won't always feel new. What once seemed overwhelming becomes second nature. Enjoy the journey, even the hard parts.

Because your ideal clients are a mirror of YOU.   In this episode, you'll learn: 2:30 - 5:00 | Why Frequency Matters in Business Growth The shift from focusing on a client avatar to focusing on the emotions, connections, and alignment with values. Your ideal client should align with how you operate as a business owner. 5:00 - 8:30 | Understanding Your Own Frequency Your frequency determines the type of clients you attract. If you focus on lack and scarcity, you'll attract clients who negotiate prices and ask for discounts. Strategic elements exist in business, but the energetic frequency is often overlooked. 8:30 - 12:00 | Example of an Ideal Client's Frequency Ideal clients are often a reflection of you. Key behaviors of an aligned client: Clear communication. Engages in open dialogue and feedback. Pays invoices on time. Operates with mutual respect in business relationships. These behaviors define the frequency more than demographic details. 12:00 - 15:00 | Common Challenges in Attracting Clients Many business owners struggle because they focus on avatars rather than behaviors. Example: People who focus on discount-seeking clients are likely in a scarcity frequency themselves. 15:00 - 18:30 | Marketing with Frequency in Mind Example of a marketing message (Bulletproof Experience) designed to attract a high-frequency audience. Instead of targeting a demographic, the focus is on behaviors, mindset, and ambition. 18:30 - 22:00 | Identifying Your Current Frequency Are you operating in lack, fear, and hesitation? Are you stepping into a frequency where success feels inevitable? Your mindset directly impacts the type of clients you attract. 22:00 - 26:00 | Shifting Your Frequency for Business Growth Acknowledging current struggles without staying stuck in them. Choosing to raise your frequency to attract high-value clients. The connection between mindset and financial reality. 26:00 - 30:00 | Personal Reflection & Frequency Alignment Recognising when you are "doing all the right things" but still feeling doubt. Aligning your external actions with your internal beliefs. 30:00 - 34:00 | Practical Steps to Change Your Frequency Journaling and mindset work during New Moon rituals.

• This Needs to Change in the Industry 04.03.2025 20min

  Let's be real—business feels different right now. Harder. Messier. More unpredictable. Maybe you've noticed it, too—clients ghosting, people backing out after saying yes, invoices getting "forgotten." It's frustrating, it's exhausting, and honestly? It's got to stop. This episode is the honest conversation we ALL need. I'm pulling back the curtain on what's really happening in the online business world, the blurred lines between personal and professional relationships, and the critical shift we must make to protect our businesses, uphold our standards, and stop the cycle of broken commitments. This isn't about complaining—it's about taking responsibility, setting boundaries, and demanding more from ourselves and the industry as a whole. In this episode, you'll learn: 00:00 - 03:00 – The Changing Landscape of Business More instances of clients saying yes, then backing out or ghosting. Importance of having honest conversations about these challenges. 03:01 - 07:00 – Personal vs. Contractual Relationships Business owners often mix personal feelings with contractual obligations. Feeling guilty about enforcing contracts is common but needs to change. 07:01 - 12:00 – The Impact of Lowering Standards Many business owners lower their standards when things get tough Instead, raise standards and enforce boundaries. 12:01 - 17:00 – The Importance of Upholding Boundaries Business difficulties are not the provider's fault; the client needs to take responsibility. Service providers should enforce contracts rather than make exceptions. 17:01 - 21:00 – Industry-Wide Responsibility & Change Everyone in the industry needs to raise expectations and commit to better standards. Strengthening boundaries leads to long-term business stability. 21:01 - End – Final Call to Action Business owners should ask: How can I raise my standards? How can I better uphold my boundaries? How can I help my clients do the same?
