In this episode:
Shannon welcomes guest Deb Boulanger, CEO of Life After Corporate, to discuss the journey of reinventing business models for long-term scalability, profitability, and joy. Shannon reflects on her transformative Bali retreat and how aligning with nature’s rhythms reinvigorated her creativity and business clarity. Deb shares her transition from corporate leadership to mentoring women through entrepreneurial ventures, emphasizing the value of spiritual reflection, market responsiveness, and community-centric models.
Here are two takeaways from Season 10 Episode 3:
- Do things your own way.
Reclaim ownership of your business decisions. Prioritize joy, intuition, and live experience-over pressure to conform. This mindset will promote creative sovereignty, goals, and life rhythms.
- Community is infinitely scalable.
In a community-driven model, each new member doesn’t just receive value — they also contribute to it, through shared insights, questions, collaboration, and peer support. This network effect amplifies the richness of the experience for all members, while freeing the business owner from being the sole provider of expertise or motivation.
