I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Scott Ritzheimer, host of The Secrets of the High Demand Coach Podcast. It was a rollicking fast-paced interview that I think you will really like and Scott kindly allowed me to share it here with you.

A little about Scott: He has helped start nearly 20,000 new businesses and nonprofits and, with his business partner, started and led their multimillion-dollar business through an exceptional and extended growth phase (over 10 years of double-digit growth), all before he turned 35.

Here are a few key takeaways from our conversation together:

• The importance of owning and controlling intellectual property as a prerequisite for scaling expertise-based businesses. Whether it's a book, a course, or workshop, these assets are copyrightable and can be sold as part of the business. 
• The consequences of failing to build a business that can run without the founder. 
• Adapting to changing market forces and building multiple revenue streams is crucial in decoupling income from time. 
• While AI may be a trendy topic, I argue that it cannot replace the unique value that human expertise and personal touch bring to businesses. Thought leadership and unparalleled services are the keys to staying ahead in the market.

Overall, this episode delved into the fascinating world of building and protecting saleable assets in female-founded expertise-based businesses.

Tune in to the full episode to dive deeper into this enlightening conversation. You can find the episode on your favorite podcast platform.
