Bonnie welcomes Lisa Glenn-Nobles, CEO and principal of LGN Collab, for a candid conversation about operations, delegation, and how to build people-centered systems that support sustainable growth. Lisa shares her accidental entrepreneur story, why she still loves being “number two,” and how that mindset shaped her work as an operations consultant and fractional COO.

They dig into one of the biggest founder pain points: knowing whether you need a fractional COO, an EA, or another type of support altogether. Lisa explains that a fractional COO is the right fit when a founder needs a strategic partner who can make decisions, create structure, and help guide hiring strategy, not just take tasks. Bonnie adds real-world perspective from her own background in executive support and delegation.

The conversation also explores why so many hires fail before they even begin. Lisa explains that when leaders bring someone in without clear systems, documentation, and expectations, the issue usually is not the person... it is the lack of clarity around the role. Bonnie and Lisa also talk about adapting to communication preferences, the role of emotional intelligence, and how AI can help support pros better match voice and tone.

They wrap by talking about growth, network power, and the value of knowing when to bring in a strategist first, then hand off to an EA or other support person once the structure is in place. Lisa also shares the first things she delegated in her own business and how that early support helped her scale.

In this episode, Bonnie sits down with Rebeccah Silence, emotional healing expert, generational trauma specialist, and founder of The Unsilent Woman, to talk about something most business owners do not connect to delegation nearly enough: emotional healing.

Together, they unpack how old survival patterns can quietly shape the way we lead, communicate, hire, outsource, and trust others with our business. Rebeccah shares why delegation struggles are not always about systems or time management. Sometimes, they are rooted in fear, control, disappointment, boundary issues, or past experiences that still live under the surface.

They also dig into what it means to lead from a healed place instead of from fight, flight, or freeze, how to recognize when someone is not the right fit, and why love may be one of the most underrated secret weapons in leadership.

This conversation is for founders, service providers, and high-achieving women who are ready to lead with more peace, clarity, and confidence without gripping the steering wheel so hard.

Entrepreneurs talk a lot about delegation, productivity, and scaling... but what if the real block is identity?

In this episode, Bonnie Schutz interviews Stephanie Scheller, founder of Grow Disrupt, international speaker, bestselling author, and neuroscience nerd, about the hidden reasons business owners struggle to delegate. Together, they unpack ADHD in entrepreneurship, executive functioning, business boundaries, leadership growth, mindset, focus, productivity, outsourcing, team building, CEO mindset, and the emotional side of letting go.

Stephanie shares practical insights on how entrepreneurial brains work, why some delegation attempts fail, how identity can sabotage growth, and why business owners need to put their “big brain in big places.” She also talks about scaling without building a business you hate, how she structured her team, what she delegated first, and why talking things out loud can help turn emotion into action.

This episode is for founders, solopreneurs, service providers, and small business owners who want to improve delegation, stop micromanaging, strengthen leadership, and build a business that feels more human, joyful, and sustainable.

What happens when a scientist, executive coach, and community-builder starts talking about trees, leadership, delegation, and money mindset? A whole lot of truth.

In this episode, Bonnie sits down with Dr. Violeta Garcia, founder of Ecosistema Design LLC, to talk about what it really takes to build support into your business in a way that makes sense. Dr. Garcia shares how her path from teacher to scientist to CEO to executive coach shaped the way she now helps women of color step into senior leadership with confidence, clarity, and belonging.

Together, Bonnie and Dr. Garcia dig into the lessons nature can teach us about business growth, why strong roots matter before you start handing things off, the costly mistake of delegating too soon or too vaguely, and how money mindset plays a bigger role in delegation than many business owners realize.

This conversation is full of practical wisdom for entrepreneurs, leaders, and service providers who want to grow with more intention, better systems, and a little less white-knuckling.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

• Why your business needs strong roots before you delegate the branches
• What Dr. Garcia’s “$60,000 lesson” taught her about hiring support
• How to think about delegation through the lens of systems and strategy
• Why communication gaps often sit at the heart of delegation issues
• How to stop operating from scarcity and start planning for support
• What nature, trees, and ecosystems can teach us about sustainable growth
