140. How to Market Your Business in 2022
Traditional advertising has changed so much in this digital landscape, and it is continually evolving. Advertising is probably one of the most asked about topics that I get asked as a business coach, as a mentor, and as a board member on marketing. I like to consider myself at this point, a marketing generalist, as I've been able to grow and scale multiple, seven-figure businesses through all different forms of customer acquisition. In today’s solo episode I cover all things advertising and share everything you need to know to start your own marketing plan! I explain different forms of customer acquisition, organic marketing strategies, and paid and traditional marketing strategies. Once you understand who your client is and what they want, your marketing plan will be tailored to fit the needs of that client base and flexible enough to evolve as they evolve and as you scale upwards.

138. Why I'm Canceling Cancel Culture
It seems like it’s happening quicker than I can count, but everyone seems to be canceled! “Cancel culture” is rife in our society and basically it involves pushing someone out of social or professional circles – primarily online and through social media. In today’s solo episode I am talking about cancel culture, and how I feel about it. This might not be everyone’s cup of tea but I want to talk about it. We hold people to such high standards that when they fail or make mistakes (and trust me they will, because we all do), we try to bring them down. I explain why I just want to cancel “cancel culture” and actually focus on bigger things that actually matter.

135. How to Scale Successfully as a Multi-Passionate Entrepreneur with Allison Walsh
When it comes to women-owned businesses, oftentimes we take on everything, and are afraid or unable to delegate tasks. This hesitancy leads us to being the jack of all trades which can prevent us from putting time and energy into scaling and evolving our business. While it might seem scary to take the leap, our guest shares why as women, in order to grow you have to learn even if some of those lessons come from failure. In today’s episode, I am talking to Allison Walsh, a two-time CEO with over 15 years of organizational leadership, mentorship and coaching experience, the host of two podcasts, and has been named Orlando Business Journal's 40 under 40. Allison equips up-and-coming leading ladies with the skills needed to set their own bars high, while consistently reaping the rewards of hard work. During our conversation, Allison sheds light on how behavioral psychology is using the tech industry to create apps and resources around mental wellness. She also explains what it takes to run a business, why success can sometimes be a lonely ride and why the state of “analysis paralysis” and perfectionism can get in the way of getting amazing projects off of the shelf and into the world.

132. Why Empathy Makes You A Great Leader
You might think having empathy and being a woman in the business world is a disadvantage.

In today’s episode, Suneera discusses why empathy is a natural skill set and something you can actually use as one of your greatest advantages.
