Dana sits down with buyer psychology expert Katie Read to break down something every mom growing a business needs to hear: right now is one of the easiest times in a decade to grow a business as a mom. Big companies are hunting small audiences. AI just made your voice the most valuable thing you own. And the rules for how you build, sell, and show up have completely changed in your favor. If you've ever felt behind, too small, or like you needed a bigger platform before you &quot;really&quot; started, this episode is going to flip that. You'll hear: Why &quot;the fourth grader is king&quot; and why being two steps ahead is enough The &quot;good enough economy&quot; and why it's coming for regurgitation businesses The scars vs. wounds framework for vulnerability that builds authority (not pity) Why newsletters are roaring back, and why your messy human voice is gold right now How to use AI for structure without letting it steal your voice First principles thinking: why the old &quot;video module + Facebook group&quot; model is breaking The two (and only two) things you should actually be using AI for in your business This is a must-listen for any mom running an online business. Katie's officially becoming a recurring co-host on the show, so this is the first of many discussions like this one.
