IP-based businesses may not always look like they have assets to protect, but that’s because they are often service based. Their assets are their creations, processes and other intellectual properties. In this episode, Emi Kirschner interviews Erin Austin, lawyer and founder of Think Beyond IP as they discuss leveraging saleable assets for maximum growth and profit. Erin talks about the need for contracts, working with women entrepreneurs, and “finding the Rembrandt in the attic” – that hidden or overlooked asset that can be leveraged for maximum value.
As a leader, building a team that works cohesively isn't always about having the right answers to give them. More often the value is in asking the right questions. On today’s episode of the Tribe of Leaders, David Wheatley, the Chief Question Asker at Humanergy, a boutique leadership development company, shares how his experience as a police officer in the UK helped him see every challenge as an opportunity. Make sure to check out his book, What Great Teams Do Great: How Ordinary People Accomplish The Extraordinary, and where you can access new chapters for greater insight.

To paraphrase the ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, people must be strong like water, yet we must also be gentle like soft flowing streams. This means finding the right balance between courage and compassion, power and tenderness, be it in your personal or professional life. In this episode, our host Emi Kirschner is joined by the Chief People Officer of Allbirds, Laila Tarraf. Laila shares her experiences growing and learning how to gain balance in her life. She discusses sustainability, balancing your personal and work life, what she learned during the time she was writing her book, and dealing with grief.
Many see the world of professional builders as a man’s industry, but women are starting to play an even bigger role, and they’re breaking all the rules and driving success. Emi Kirschner is joined in conversation by the co-founder of the Association of Professional Builders, Sky Stephens. Sky talks about starting up a business, partnering with her father and their early missteps and how they addressed these. She discusses how people often misunderstand the roles of women in the professional building industry and why more women are becoming visible in this space. Finally, they discuss the company’s success and their growth goals moving forward.
If you’re a business owner with no end plan, you’re not in it for the long run. Michelle Seiler Tucker joins Emi Kirschner to explain what a merger and acquisitions advisor is and how they’re beneficial to business owners. Michelle is the founder and CEO of Seiler Tucker, Inc., and she’s the best person to talk about businesses and how entrepreneurs can work towards selling them in the years to come. According to Michelle, entrepreneurs need to think about their end goal, what do they want to happen with their business, and what they can do to make that happen. It’s not easy to sell a business and you can’t just have one buyer and call it quits. It takes time and it’s a lot of processes that Michelle says most business owners don’t know about.
In this digital day and age, can you imagine PR without a website nor any marketing material? Probably, not. But just because it seemed impossible doesn’t mean it is. My guest for this episode was able to overcome the odds. Andrea Holland, the founder and CEO of Remote PR Jobs, became a PR Goddess even after starting her business without a website and any marketing material. What she had was her story. Join Andrea and me in today’s conversation as she takes us through her journey of being a digital nomad, jet-setting abroad doing business, along with the hurdles she faced in the way—from cultures to time zones and everything in between. She also breaks down some misconceptions about PR and shares tips that will get you in the door. Looking forward, Andrea then tells us about her plans for the future and what she is hoping to integrate into her business post-COVID. Learn what it takes to grow your brand and business halfway across the world, all the while doing the unexpected, in this great discussion!
Great leadership is more than just making orders and micromanaging your team. What most people find toxic about the corporate world is dealing with an environment that makes them feel undervalued and not fulfilled. For James Hilliard, business coach, public speaker, and CEO and founder of The Impact Mastery Blueprint, the cost of unfulfillment is venturing out, leaving the corporate world, and launching his own business. He talks to Emi Kirschner about the big impact of great leadership and fulfillment that goes beyond just earning money. He then shares about The Impact Blueprint and his goal to help business professionals get their lives back and go from frustrated to fulfilled.
