Saying Goodbye and the top 10 tips I learned from our guests

Feisty Media — Thu, 01 Feb 2024 03:00:00 -0400

Thanks to listeners + thanks to all the incredible guests!

Believe in yourself and your business—and be passionate about it
Doing anything well takes time or money, usually both, especially at the outset
Don’t be intimidated by the business details - but don’t ignore them
Ask for help—biggest mistake people made was trying to do it alone
Failures aren’t a bad thing, they’re just stepping stones
Look for programs that can help you take your biz to next level
Take notes on what others are doing, but you don’t have to do what everyone else is doing—look for white space
Marketing matters, and it’s imperative to have a product that you believe in
Opt out of embarrassment!
You can do anything, but you can’t do everything—and that’s why I’m signing off for now.

How to Create a Space in a Niche Market with Tina Singh of Bold Helmets

Feisty Media — Thu, 18 Jan 2024 03:00:00 -0400

Tina Singh couldn't find a helmet to fit her kids when they started riding bikes. As an Occupational Therapist, working in the area of head and brain injury, she knew how important the use of helmets is. After trying many makeshift solutions, she took it upon herself to create a product that worked for kids like hers. Bold Helmets has created the first safety certified multisport helmet for Sikh kids aged 5+.

We talk about how she got started, what she wishes she’d known, how to create a new product from nothing, and how to market a new product while educating your audience about why it’s needed

A new way to think about goal setting for your business in 2024

Feisty Media — Thu, 21 Dec 2023 03:00:00 -0400

As we approach the end of 2023, Molly breaks down her favorite tips for personal & business goal setting for a new year:

Good, Better, Best - Love this for races, but works well for a higher level look at business as well—what went well, what could have been better, what do you need to be at your best?
Social media, marketing, P&L statements, taxes—gahhh
Defining success - slow growth vs fast growth, going all in vs letting it happen. What do you want versus what does the optimal day/week look like for you? How can those two overlap?
Have big goals, but bring your Resolutions down to ones that are small + more daily/weekly in nature vs sweeping.
Celebrate success when it comes! Know you don’t have to have it all figured out / it doesn’t need to be going amazingly just yet. Most businesses take 18-24 months before returning ANY profit

Navigating Startup Life with ToughCuties’ Brittany Coleman

Feisty Media — Thu, 09 Nov 2023 03:00:00 -0400

Brittany Coleman started selling ToughCutie merino wool technical, performance socks in 2022. Six months into selling, ToughCutie had contracts with REI, Public Lands, Title Nine and more retailers.

ToughCutie is the first and only outdoor sock brand with a majority women-owned value chain and this business structure of prioritizing women vendors to create financial agency for women entrepreneurs is a reflection of Coleman's past.

Feisty Media — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 03:00:00 -0400

There is quite a bit of confusion for new business owners, about how to write a legal contract correctly. But this week, we are here to tell you that it really doesn't have to be complicated. We welcome Jaime Bell of Contracts Market to tell us all the tips and tricks on legal contracts.

Jaime talks about the common legal problems new business owners face, what could happen if you borrow another company's contract template and the importance of insurance. While contracts can seem like an overwhelming feat, Jaime shares how important they are to get right, as contacts are the #1 topic of litigation for service providers.

Feisty Media — Thu, 26 Jan 2023 03:00:00 -0400

Liv cycling is one of those companies that we have all seen grow over the years.

This week, we wanted to talk to the woman in charge of analog bike product marketing for Liv Cycling - Jen Audia. Jen shares what she does for the company, and more importantly, how she got this coveted position.

Talking about what it means to be a company specifically working to provide a product to women, the duo discusses this impact on the cycling community. Further, of course, Molly asks about Jen's organizational tools.

How to Overcome the Negative Voice in Your Head + Move Past Imposter Syndrome

Feisty Media — Thu, 17 Nov 2022 03:00:00 -0400

Put your hand up if a little voice in your head has ever told you that building your business was impossible. Yep, us too.

The bad news: Whether you’re just getting started in your business or you run an entire empire, imposter syndrome can slow you down and keep you from hitting your biggest goals. And it’s not just you. Everyone has that little voice, and women tend to hear it in freaking stereo.

The good news: We’re going to exorcise those demons and kick off Outspoken by talking all about imposter syndrome and the importance of choosing self-belief over self-doubt with some of the most decorated, badass, accomplished women in the biz.

Longtime sport journalist, author, and podcaster Molly Hurford leads a panel discussion with Feisty CEO Dr. Sara Gross, USA Triathlon’s Megan Ritch, Unbound’s Kristi Mohn, and Shift Sports Dr. Shaunna Payne Gold about their past struggles with imposter syndrome and their best tactical tips for knocking self-doubt the hell out of your brain.
