I always think about my life like a series of seasons, and each one brings a different main value to the forefront. In some seasons, money becomes the king, and we're willing to trade our time for it. You see this a lot when you're just starting up a business or when you're going through big changes like pivoting or launching something new. It's the harsh reality of the game. But here's the thing: once you've achieved some level of success or financial freedom, you start to realize that time is the real treasure. You'd gladly give up some of that hard-earned money to get back those precious moments. I always think about it like this—time is a non-renewable resource. Once it's gone, you can't get it back. Money, on the other hand, you can always find a way to earn more. As we go through the different seasons of life, let's keep in mind this profound truth about time and money. The goal is for us to find that sweet spot between chasing financial stability and preserving our most valuable asset—time. This episode is to help you make conscious choices that align with that value–with 5 ways to trade money to get back time to do the things that matter most. Click play NOW to dive in!

In this episode, I'm sharing some practical strategies for building an audience from scratch, even if you don't have anything to sell yet. If you’re someone who has a dream or a vision or you want to start your side hustle or you know that sommmeeday you want to leap into entrepreneurship, this is where you should start.

What if you were just one post away from skyrocketing your sales and achieving your wildest dreams? I know, you’re like, “a girl can dream!”… but that is exactly what happened to my guest today. After she spent years taking the padding out of her sports bras and placing it in her tanks and bodysuits, she finally decided to design her first brami top. Before she knew it, her first “brami” (bra + cami) design went viral on TikTok in 2020 and showed her what’s possible for her small business, Klassy Network. That’s right: today I am chatting with Natalie Rogers Soto, an innovative fashion designer who has gained a reputation for her stylish brami tops. However, she’s not just a designer - she's also a savvy entrepreneur. Today, she’s going to share with us how to use social media to sell inventory, what it’s like working with family, how she knew when it was time to level up, and so much more. I’m positive that you do NOT need to be in the fashion industry to learn from her advice, and you’ll love this conversation! GOAL DIGGER FB COMMUNITY GOAL DIGGER INSTAGRAM GOAL DIGGER SHOW NOTES
If you listen to the Goal Digger Podcast, there's a really good chance that you are a big dreamer. You are someone who is in pursuit of a very full, rich, and vibrant life, just like me. But something that’s been on my mind recently has been the delicate balance between wanting more and being content with what I have. Have you ever wondered the same? I've always been a high-achieving, ambitious person who wanted to go the extra mile and see what was possible for myself. And I’m *still* that person… Although recently, especially after having children, I’ve felt an immense peace in my life that I never, ever want to lose. Now that I’ve experienced both, if I had to choose between ambition and contentment, I would choose contentment every single day of the week. So, Goal Digger, this episode is a bit different than normal. I’m giving you a front row seat to my daily debate: should I scale bigger or shut it down? I may not have all the answers, but I do feel like I am at a beautiful place a decade into my entrepreneurial journey where I am genuinely finding joy every day in the work that I'm doing, but also in the life that I'm living. To me, that is the greatest gift that I could have ever been given, and I wish nothing but the same for you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by a never-ending to-do list and worried you’re not making the most out of each day? I’ve been there. In fact, I was JUST there–like, last week–because my ADHD brain deeeefinitely doesn’t love my constant tab-switching and Slack distractions from what I’m working on. (Who knew?!) But recently, I felt empowered to prioritize tasks, eliminate distractions, and create a laser-focused action plan to help me reach my goals… all because of this conversation I had with Ashley Alderson. Ashley, founder of The Boutique Hub, is a Midwestern mama who’s busy as a bee and had to create systems around how she could get her work done so she could get back to life. In our conversation, she gives us *loads* of helpful tips for small business owners to manage our time wisely, make the most out of each day, and embrace our inner CEO.

Say it with me: I REFUSE TO BE HELD BACK! Last year, I was diagnosed with ADHD: AKA, my brain works differently. Some people might look at an ADHD diagnosis as a negative thing, but over the last year it has been so affirming and empowering for me.

Calling all business owners: do you feel like you wear a gazillion hats in your business?! I’ve never been the biggest hat-wearer (unless it’s floppy on a beach in Maui!), but I definitely find myself wearing a lot in my business as the CEO, creative director, podcast host, social media manager, bookkeeper, and a million other things. No matter how many hats we wear, my guest on Goal Digger today juuuuust might have us beat. Dr. Contessa is a wife, mother, doctor, Navy Veteran, a main cast member on Bravo’s “Married to Medicine,” AND a successful entrepreneur running two different businesses...

We more than DOUBLED our best launch ever!! I was about to go Live for my third webinar of the week when I said to a member of my team, “I can’t believe how relaxed I feel. This launch just FEELS different.” *Different* was an understatement, of course… Because over the next few days, we completely blew our goals out of the water and served over 24,000 humans in the process. *mind blown!* In the last few years, we haven't done a lot of really big live launches. It's been a while since we've done a REALLY big launch. The truth is, there are a lot of reasons why we haven't gone all out: pregnancy, postpartum, not having an office, and more. But this time around, I was ready to go BIG! In this episode of the Goal Digger Podcast, I’m spilling ALLLL off the tea about how we doubled our best launch when promoting The Pinterest Lab.

If you’ve been on social media lately, I’m sure you’ve noticed that Artificial Intelligence has quickly become the talk of the business world.

Do you ever feel left behind or think you’re so far from where you want to be? This feeling is normal, but how does it manifest in your self-talk? Is it belittling or comforting? For most of us, it’s that voice in our head that keeps saying we’re not enough — we’re never enough. Goal Digger, it’s time to change this. Negative self-talk ISN’T about being positive all the time. It IS, however, about finally showing yourself some well-deserved love and compassion… and the queen of saying it out loud is saying it loud and proud on Goal Digger today. Vasavi Kumar has the sort of confidence you can FEEL and now she’s going to share how you can harness the power of confidence in your life. In this episode, she shares her insights on how self-talk, confidence, and self-trust are all interconnected to each other. She emphasizes that we’re often our harshest critics and our negative self-talk is something we would never say to others. So why is it that we’re so harsh to ourselves? At its core, it’s a lack of love of compassion for ourselves. If you’re struggling with self-sabotage and negative self-talk, tune in to the episode NOW!

I have to be honest, this conversation is a true “pinch me” moment. I’m so honored to host a conversation with a true Hollywood icon who has captivated audiences for decades with his performances on the big screen. From his breakout role in "Dazed and Confused" to his Oscar-winning turn in "Dallas Buyers Club," he has proven time and again to be one of the most versatile and compelling actors of his generation. But Matthew McConaughey is much more than just a talented performer. He's also a writer, a philosopher, and a seeker of truth and meaning. His recent book, Greenlights, has become a sensation, topping the bestseller lists and inspiring readers around the world with its honest, humorous, and insightful reflections on life, love, and the pursuit of happiness. Through his writing and his acting, he has become a cultural icon, a symbol of resilience, authenticity, and creativity in a world that can often feel overwhelming and uncertain.

Taking risks for our dreams is a concept that we talk about on the Goal Digger Podcast all the time, but it is something that can be difficult to put into practice. Kylie Low has been the producer behind the Goal Digger Podcast for over four years now, but in February 2023 Kylie came to me with an announcement I always expected to hear from her – She was ready to step down from producing this podcast to pursue her dreams and work on her own podcast full time. In this final installment of the Jenna & Kylie series on the Goal Digger Podcast, Kylie shares the behind the scenes of her decision to leave her full-time job working for me to dive into her own projects. We reflect on the almost 5 years working together and what I’ve learned as the boss of someone who I always felt was more entrepreneurial than employee from day one. We get a little teary-eyed, but this conversation is a raw look at what happens when you realize it’s time to say goodbye.

You know by now that I am not a person in pursuit of “balance” – I want blend. I want my life as a mother and as an entrepreneur and as Jenna, the human, to blend together so that I can show up as my full self wherever I am, never having to segment or compartmentalize who I am or what I love. Today’s guest has a similar philosophy, and it’s the concept of work-life harmony. Tina Wells’s story is so interesting and so inspiring. She turned a business that she launched when she was just a teenager into an award-winning marketing agency, led boardroom meetings as the youngest (and sometimes only) Black woman in the room, and pursued her childhood dream of traveling around the world. Now, Tina is a business strategist, advisor, author, and founder. Through it all, she’s crafted a method for maintaining work-life harmony, that is, she doesn’t forgo joy and peace for productivity, and that’s something I can get behind. In her new book, The Elevation Approach, she shares her four-phase plan for work-life harmony, a flexible and foolproof technique that helps you meet your goals without sacrificing joy for productivity and progress.
