Running a business while raising kids feels impossible some days. Between checking emails at the playground and working after bedtime, it's easy to feel like you're failing at both. But what if there was a better way?
Amanda Goetz has cracked the code on building an authentic business without the hustle culture nonsense. As a single mom of three who's built multiple six-figure income streams, she's learned that success isn't about doing more—it's about doing the right things at the right time.
In this conversation, talk about her surprisingly simple systems that keep her business running while she stays present for her kids. Amanda shares the real strategies that work when you can't afford to waste time.
But we also cover how to be authentic in an AI world, and she gives me the single best piece of advice I’ve personally gotten for how to balance both better.

★ Support this podcast ★Ever go to do something – a task for your business, yard work, cooking – and suddenly realize you’re not sure where to start?
It’s not that you don’t know what to do…you just need a little help organizing your thoughts. It would be a lot easier if everything is written down, step-by-step. That’s where SOPs come in.
Most solopreneurs think SOPs are only for big companies with teams of 50+. But the truth? Even if you’re a business of one, SOPs (standard operating procedures) can save you time, reduce errors, and keep your business running smoothly—especially on the days when your energy or focus isn’t there.
In this conversation with Layla Pomper of ProcessDriven, we dig into how SOPs can simplify your work, help you automate and delegate, and even free up more headspace for the creative stuff you actually enjoy.
Trying to figure out which SOPs you should create first? Take the Business Overwhelm Diagnostic.

★ Support this podcast ★I have a confession to make: I use my GPS every time I drive. It’s not that I don’t know where I’m going. It’s that I’ve told myself, “the GPS knows more than me – it has traffic data!”
Nick Bennett pointed out on LinkedIn that there was a time before GPS, when people knew how to read a map…or just get around. And that was a present in today’s guest’s mind when he made a big decision.
Joe McKay is a LinkedIn Ghostwriter who used AI for everything…until the day he decided he’d go AI Vegan.
Today we’re going to talk about what it meant for his business and his mind, and if you should try it too.
