In this episode of Uncensored Entrepreneurs, the hosts sit down with Donna Dube, certified Director of Operations, business growth strategist, and host of The CEO Amplify Podcast. Donna shares how entrepreneurs can escape the hustle-and-grind cycle, reclaim their time, and step into the role of confident, strategic CEO without burning out.
From redefining priorities to building systems that sustain growth, Donna reveals how to shift from reactive busyness to intentional leadership. This episode dives into the mindset, systems, and habits that allow business owners to scale with sanity and lead with purpose, without sacrificing their well-being or relationships.
Whether you’re stretched thin as a solopreneur or managing a growing team, this conversation will help you realign your energy, automate smarter, and finally work on your business instead of in it.
Key Takeaways
Shift from Hustle to Strategy: Running faster isn’t the answer, building structure is. Focus on intentional planning, not constant action.

In this episode of Uncensored Entrepreneurs, the hosts sit down with Lemon Price, founder of the Supported Wife Society and a two-time Forbes-featured entrepreneur, to discuss the mental load high-achieving women carry, especially in business and marriage. Lemon unpacks how submission, boundaries, and support aren’t weaknesses, they’re strategies that help women thrive both professionally and personally. From shifting control patterns to reprogramming relationship dynamics, this conversation invites women to lead with strength and softness.
Whether you're newly married, in a leadership role, or rebuilding from burnout, this episode offers insights into redefining power dynamics, improving communication, and making room for real intimacy in your life.
Key Takeaways
Release the mental load: You can’t delegate what you haven’t defined. Start by brain-dumping every thought, decision, and responsibility you carry.
Boundaries aren’t mean, they’re strategic: Creating separation between work and home life preserves energy and strengthens relationships.
Stop mothering your partner: When women assume too much control, intimacy suffers. Let your partner show up, even if it’s not your way.
Start the marriage reset: Redefining roles starts with one person making new choices. Behavior shifts spark relational change.
Get honest, not reactive: Don’t wait for resentment to build. Radical, respectful honesty prevents blowups and deepens connection.
Remove decisions that don’t matter: Simplify your routines and systems to reduce decision fatigue and reclaim bandwidth for what really counts.
Featured Guest:
Lemon Price is a leadership and marriage coach, founder of the Supported Wife Society, and host of the top 2% podcast by the same name.

Mass communication is non-negotiable: To grow sustainably, you need automated, repeatable ways to reach many people, not just one-on-one.
Legacy is about impact: True legacy is built through the people you empower and the lives you change, not the accolades you collect.

When April Dodson started out in the hood-cleaning business with her husband, she didn’t wait for the phone to ring—she made the calls. That same bold, entrepreneurial energy has shaped every phase of her career. In this episode, April shares how she built multiple businesses from the ground up, leveraged virtual assistant services and AI without losing her personal touch, and created a new kind of marketing software that’s getting recognized at the state level.
April gets real about what it takes to stay in business for the long haul, how her company helps others do the same, and why fitness has become a surprising part of her business model. This episode is packed with insights for anyone ready to scale with intention.
Key Takeaways:
Use cold calling strategically. Start with a clear script, target a specific industry, and track conversions—April used this method to land 276 Ingles stores and a national MGM contract.
Focus on organic outreach in Facebook and LinkedIn groups. Share value-based posts, then follow up with DMs to collect phone numbers and emails from engaged users.
Build your list by “profiling” group activity. Create 30 days of content in advance, then repurpose it across groups with compliant, human-first messaging.
Offer flexible entry points. April’s team customizes services—from appointment setting to quoting and CRM updates—so clients can outsource only what they need.
Replace burnout with movement. Adding yoga or mindful activity—even once a week—can help you reset your nervous system and prevent entrepreneurial overload.

What if you could grow your business without burning out or staying glued to your phone? In this episode, Pinterest strategist Laura Rike shares how she built an intentional, sustainable business that lets her take every Tuesday off—and how you can use Pinterest to create more freedom in your own life and business.
From breaking down common myths about the platform to explaining how it works differently than social media, Laura offers clear, actionable insight for service providers, e-comm owners, and creators who want better leads without nonstop hustle. She also opens up about navigating entrepreneurship while healing from postpartum depression—and why systems, simplicity, and letting go of the algorithm game changed everything.
Key Takeaways:
Pinterest is a search engine, not a social platform. It captures users who are actively looking for solutions, which leads to higher-quality traffic.
Auto-publishing from Instagram hurts your strategy. Repackage content so it’s clear and clickable in Pinterest’s format.
Create multiple pins per offer. Target different keywords, audiences, and stages of awareness with 3–5 pins for every URL.
Link to more than just landing pages. You can drive traffic to Facebook posts, YouTube videos, podcasts—anywhere that moves the needle.
Start Pinterest ads with a test budget. Laura recommends $25–$50/day for the first two weeks to gather enough data for optimization.
Don’t start from scratch—just redirect and rebrand. Pinterest is incredibly forgiving, even if your old content no longer fits your niche.

A former financial advisor turned tech founder and mom of two, Anggie built Myndify to solve a problem she lived with daily—forgetting the little things that mattered. She talks with Starr, Robert, and Tina about her transition into entrepreneurship, the risk of leaving a stable career, and what it means to break into tech as a Latina woman with no coding background.

Representation matters. As a Latina woman in tech, Anggie is paving the way for others by proving that expertise doesn’t always require traditional credentials.
Calculated risks pay off. Her leap from finance to tech was built on research, validation, and a deep belief in the value of her idea.
Smart systems save energy. Features like event records, expiration tracking, AI recall, and shared memory files make Myndify a tool for both life and business.

In this powerful episode of Uncensored Entrepreneurs, Bob Burg, co-author of the international bestseller The Go-Giver, joins the hosts for a conversation that redefines how we think about business, sales, and value. Bob unpacks the core philosophy behind The Go-Giver Way: shifting your focus from getting to giving, and how that mindset leads to not only deeper fulfillment but greater profitability.
The conversation flows from mindset to marketing, offering real-world strategies on customer experience, pivoting with purpose, and leading with service—even in uncertain times. Whether you’re a solopreneur, author, coach, or CEO, this episode will help you realign your sales strategy with service and connection.
Key Takeaways:
Focus on value, not the sale. Shifting your mindset from income-driven to value-driven creates trust, loyalty, and long-term success.
“Money is an echo of value.” Profit is the natural result of consistently delivering meaningful impact to others.
Stand out through the five elements of value. Excellence, consistency, attention, empathy, and appreciation help you rise above price-based competition.
Serve first, sell second. Selling should feel like helping—when you truly serve, the sale takes care of itself.
Use language that aligns with service. Simple shifts like “upserve” instead of “upsell” help you and your audience stay grounded in integrity.
Relationships drive business growth. People do business with those they know, like, and trust—so lead with connection and care.

In this episode, Robert and Starr talk with Steve Rivers, Managing Partner at Valenta, about how small and mid-sized businesses can start using automation to streamline operations, cut costs, and reclaim time. Steve explains how bots can now do the repetitive, manual work that once fell solely on employees—without requiring massive software investments or tech overhauls.
They explore how automation isn't just for giant corporations anymore, what it really costs, and how to get started even if you're not "techy." From bookkeeping to onboarding, Steve shares real-life use cases and shows why automation should be part of every entrepreneur's growth strategy. Whether you're running a lean team or just tired of data entry, this episode is your crash course in using automation to scale smarter.
Key Takeaways:
Start with what you hate doing: Identify one repetitive task you dread—those are often the best candidates for automation.
You don’t need new software: Modern bots work with your existing tools, mimicking human behavior without requiring a system overhaul.
Automation is now affordable: For as little as $30/day, you can delegate hours of manual work to bots—without hiring or training staff.
Bots reduce errors and increase consistency: Automating tasks minimizes human error and ensures your processes run the same way every time.
You can build incrementally: Start with one task, see results, then scale—automation doesn’t have to be all-or-nothing.

What does it really take to build an eight-figure brand through video content? In this episode, the Uncensored Entrepreneurs sat down with powerhouse Dr. Kimberly Olson—TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and founder of the Goal Digger Girl brand—to talk about the real story behind her success. From struggling with postpartum depression and alcohol abuse to building a multimillion-dollar business and celebrating seven years of sobriety, Kimberly shares the mindset shifts, strategies, and consistency that fueled her transformation.
They covered how she built her brand from scratch, what it means to “go live before you’re ready,” and why short-form video content is still one of the most powerful ways to grow your audience and income. This conversation goes far beyond marketing—it’s about resilience, service, and the courage to show up fully, flaws and all.
Key Takeaways:
Success starts with inner work, not just strategy: Kimberly’s journey shifted when she addressed the real obstacle—her self-worth.
Consistency trumps perfection every time: A weekly live with one viewer (sometimes her husband’s coworker!) laid the foundation for an eight-figure brand.
Your brand clarity is your growth engine: Know who you are, who you help, and how—everything else gets easier from there.
Don’t stop at the six-week mark: Most people quit before the magic happens. The breakthrough usually hits around week eight.
Serving builds trust; selling comes naturally: Give freely, offer real value, and your audience will lean in before you ever pitch.
