The Boss Mom Podcast

Welcome AMAZING BOSS MOM We are so glad you found us because that means you have a burning desire to create something in this world...something that positively impacts people AND also makes you money. You are in the right place. Here at Boss Mom, we know all too well the challenges of raising babies and businesses at the same time and you need more than just great resources (which we have) you also need a strong support system (we have that too). Just like all moms you need a simple business because life is complex and you should never have to apologize for having a sometimes unpredictable schedule. You can build a really successful (and profitable) business in 15 hours a week, you just have to know how (and we are going to show you). We interview amazing ladies who share their struggles and successes as well as solo episodes where I guide you through our Nurture to Convert System designed to help Boss Moms raise their business and babies at the same time. I'm Dana Malstaff, founder and CEO of Boss Mom LLC, and I'll be your host.

When it comes to getting featured, we need a pitch that gets people instantly captivated by what we have to share. It gives us an opportunity to get better at what we want to say and the way we say it.

 

How do we ensure that our pitches have the correct angle and are positioned in a way that makes featuring us a no-brainer? Why should we share stories and discussions when it comes to pitching other people?

 

CEO of Pursuing Results Matt Johnson joins me again to talk about pitching people with the right angle and getting featured. We also talk about college alternatives and leveraged mentorship.

It’s evident that the world and how we do things is changing, especially how we grow and run our businesses. A big part of this comes down to the people within our businesses and the way we lead them.

 

College doesn’t necessarily equip the people we want to hire with the skills they need to be successful, so how can we step in and bridge that gap? How do we help our employees and teams be a part of something bigger?

 

In this episode, the CEO of Pursuing Results, Matt Johnson returns to discuss the power of leveraged mentorship and what the future of leadership looks like.

 

We’ve created this culture where we lift up people who went and sat in a classroom forever, but we somehow are demeaning to the people who went out and worked. -Dana Malstaff

There’s nothing like walking into our homes and feeling like they’re truly ours, and that in every nook and cranny, our identities are apparent. We all have unique personalities, quirks, stories and styles, but so many of us don’t see those things reflected in our spaces, and that affects our wellbeing.

 

How do we bring our stories and lifestyles into how we arrange and decorate our homes? Can we take control of the clutter so that we feel calm in our spaces?

 

In this episode, certified Interior Designer and an entrepreneur, Jessica Velazquez talks about how to catapult your inner designer and decorate our homes with confidence.

 

For a home to be inspiring, it doesn’t have to be perfect, look like a furniture store or an Instagram influencer’s home. It’s a house where you walk in and you can see who lives there. -Jessica Velazquez

  • Why there’s no such thing as a one size fits all room design

A lot of times, once we reach our goals, we want to do more. The list of things we want to achieve keeps growing, and new goals take the place of old ones.

 

That’s perfectly natural. Our goals don’t have to be set destinations - they can be rolling milestones toward creating what we want.

 

Why do we yearn for more, and why do we grapple with deciding what to do? Can trial and error help when it comes to doing more, and how do we deal with failure?

 

In this episode life coach, podcast host and practicing attorney Tracey Coates joins me to discuss what it means to do more, why it differs from person to person and how we can embrace failure and use it as a currency for success.

 

You’ve got to know what the sacrifices are and be willing to make them. -Tracey Coates

  • How to reframe what it means to fail
    Embracing failure can be scary, but it is also the currency for success. How can we embrace failure and learn from it?

  • Why goals evolve
    Fulfillment comes from the process, not the result. Why do we yearn for more when we reach our goals?
