Gratitude Geek: Recent Episodes

Kandas Nesbitt-Rodarte

We have weekly fun, insightful, perhaps even controversial conversations with groovy business owners, witty work-at-home moms, and savvy sales professionals about relationship marketing, attraction marketing, and micropreneurship.

What happens when you choose the harder path? Award-winning writer Erica Neubert Campbell shares her transformative breast cancer journey with host Kandas Rodarte in this powerful October breast cancer awareness episode. After watching her mother battle and lose her fight with breast cancer, Erica faced her own diagnosis with hard-won wisdom—choosing a double mastectomy over the easier lumpectomy option. Discover her life-changing nightly gratitude practice (the 5-5-5-3 method), learn how writing just one sentence per day led to publishing a vulnerable book with real surgical photos, and hear the bathroom conversation with a stranger that changed everything. From reframing broken appliances as love reminders to building "horseshoe breasties" communities, Erica proves gratitude isn't a feeling—it's a choice you make every single day, especially during life's hardest moments.

In this solo episode of Gratitude Geek, I tackle a controversial claim about artificial intelligence:

“The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” – @jeffowski

I call BS.

Instead, I share how AI actually levels the playing field and helps solopreneurs like me grow their businesses. You’ll hear how I use three powerful tools every day:

NotebookLM for research and repurposing podcast/blog content
ChatGPT (aka “River”) for brainstorming, clarity, and even pep talks
Canva’s AI tools for quick, professional graphics that save time

Plus, I’ll update you on what’s new on the Gratitude Geek blog, and I’m announcing a brand-new free guide: 8 Bold Experiments to Move the Needle in Your Business.

What happens when cancer crashes your life and your livelihood? In episode 281 of the Gratitude Geek podcast, I sit down with entrepreneur and cancer thriver Deb Krier to talk candidly about living with Stage 4 breast cancer while still showing up for your clients, your business, and most importantly—yourself.

Deb and I don’t sugarcoat anything. We’ve both walked through cancer diagnoses, nerve damage, port drama, chemo fog, and endless unsolicited “cures.” And yet—we kept going. Sometimes we paused. Sometimes we powered through. And we both learned how to run our businesses in radically new ways.

This is the episode I wish existed when I was first diagnosed. It’s equal parts support group, strategy session, and a little redhead sass.

In This Episode, We Talk About: * What “working through cancer” really looks like * Tools and therapies (traditional and woo) that actually help * How to decide what business tasks to keep, delegate, or drop * The mental game of staying visible while your body is falling apart * Why we should stop apologizing for our boundaries * Deb’s philosophy: “You’re the boss. Not cancer. Not your doctor. You.”

A seasoned marketing and PR professional, Deb brings the same fearless spirit to her work as she does to her personal health journey.

She now inspires others to take ownership of their journey, build resilient communities, and find purpose—no matter the diagnosis.

Stay groovy, my friends.

Ever feel like your bank account is speaking a language you don’t understand? It’s time to stop panicking and start profiting.

In this powerful episode of Gratitude Geek, I sit down with Ahuva Gruen — a fractional CFO (that’s Chief Financial Officer, your business’s financial brain!) and financial clarity coach for small businesses. We break down why clarity, not just cash, is the real secret weapon for solopreneurs.

Ahuva shares her journey from childhood wig sales and candy hustles to becoming a trusted CFO for growing businesses. We dig into how to price your offerings correctly (spoiler: include all your costs), how to stop underpaying yourself, and why chasing the lowest price is a trap.

If you’ve ever wondered:

Am I charging enough for my work?
Why is my cash flow always playing catch-up?
Should I turn my hobby into a business?
What numbers do I really need to watch?

This episode is your wake-up call — and your roadmap.

In this emotionally grounding episode of Gratitude Geek, Kandas Rodarte welcomes back author and mindset coach Fletcher Ellingson to explore how we can build emotional resilience in a world that feels increasingly chaotic.

We dive into Fletcher’s signature framework from his book The Practice of Feeling Good — and unpack how fear is often just a story. Fletcher shares how to identify the root of that fear, reframe it, and begin practicing a new, empowering narrative. You’ll also learn why “feeling good” is a daily practice, not a personality trait or privilege.

Whether you’re facing uncertainty in business, health, politics, or life, this episode will help you reset your emotional default and take aligned action from a place of clarity and confidence.

Topics Covered: * The 3 core fears driving most anxiety * Why fear is just a future-based story * How to practice emotional resilience daily * The difference between habits and intentional practices * Why courage is only possible with fear * How to shift your mindset to feel grounded and empowered * Simple tools to regulate your nervous system * Gratitude as a radical act of self-regulation * Flexibility vs. rigidity in emotional survival

Welcome back, Gratitude Geeks! This week, I sit down with my friend, Mira Dessy, a board-certified nutrition educator and holistic health expert, to explore the powerful connection between what we eat, how we think, and our overall well-being. Get ready to be inspired and empowered as we dive into topics ranging from mindful eating to building a resilient, real-food pantry.

About Mira Dessy:

Mira is a passionate nutrition educator, known as the "Ingredient Guru," and is a board-certified member of several leading holistic health associations. She helps people understand the importance of whole-food nutrition and encourages a more mindful approach to health.

Key Topics & Takeaways:

The Holistic Approach: We explore how holistic health combines traditional medicine with natural and mindful practices, emphasizing that true wellness isn't just about treating symptoms but understanding the whole person.
Food as Fuel (and Medicine): Discover how food can be a powerful tool for healing and supporting your body's natural functions, moving beyond restrictive diets to a place of mindful nourishment.
Mindful Eating: Mira shares practical techniques for eating more mindfully, including how to calm your nervous system and improve digestion by engaging the senses, eating slowly, and eliminating distractions.
Self-Reliance & Preparedness: We discuss creating a "preparedness pantry" filled with real food that will sustain you during any emergency. Learn what foods to prioritize, how to prepare your supplies, and the vital importance of having access to clean, potable water.
Homeostasis and Bio-individuality: Understanding what works for you, and what doesn't, is a key element to learning about homeostasis. You’ll discover that your body has an amazing ability to regulate itself if given the proper tools.

Actionable Tips & Highlights:

Mindfulness: Start with a simple daily mindfulness practice focused on food. Before eating, take three deep breaths, engage your senses, eat slowly, and minimize distractions. Notice how you feel after your meal.
Real Food Choices: Begin to examine the ingredients of your food. Make more intentional choices that include whole, unprocessed foods. Look for food with shorter ingredient lists and more whole ingredients.
Preparedness Pantry: Make a plan to begin stocking a "preparedness pantry" with shelf-stable, real foods. Focus on protein sources, vegetables, cooking oils, and spices. Remember to start small and build over time.
Water: Everyone should have a way to make water potable in case of an emergency.
Bio-Individuality: Make an appointment with a qualified professional who can help you determine your own deficiencies so that you can learn what you need to help your own body work correctly.

Kim Curtis is the bestselling author of “Money Secrets: Keys to Smart Investing” and “Retirement Secrets”. She is a nationally recognized wealth management advisor and President and CEO of Wealth Legacy Institute. Her groundbreaking work in developing a highly personal client-centric planning model was recognized in the Journal of Practical Estate Planning, winning the Editor’s Choice award. She has been profiled in several publications including the Wall Street Journal. Kim has attained numerous professional designations and been recognized by the financial planning industry as having achieved the highest level of competence and expertise.

Kim has an exciting story to share. She grew up in a small, rural farming community in upstate New York. One day when she was fourteen, her parents told her two sisters and Kim they were getting divorced, and her mother would gain full custody. They were poor and she received government-assisted school lunches. That red ticket was a measurement, a standard of comparison. It set her apart at school, made her feel less deserving, and was the beginning of my anxiety around the scarcity of money. Her money story is pretty fascinating.

Note: This is a rebroadcast of episode 26, first published on January 7, 2015.

In 2014 I had the privilege of interviewing Ann Fonfa. Ann was the founder of the Annie Appleseed Project and the Complementary and Alternative Cancer Therapies Conference.

Ann was a 32 year breast cancer survivor who championed research, development and implementation of alternative and complementary cancer therapies.

Sadly, Ann passed away in February of 2024.

Ann taught me to advocate for my own health. She also taught me that my metastatic breast cancer diagnosis is not a death sentence. It’s a license to live life on my terms, permission to give back and to pay forward.

Ann Fonfa touched thousands of lives and left a lasting legacy.

I’m humbled to once again share Annie’s story.

Krishna is passionate about helping people heal from past trauma and stress, break free from limiting patterns, and grow and expand in all areas of their lives. She is also a strong believer in the power of neuroplasticity, or the brain's ability to change, and she teaches her clients how to create new neural pathways in their minds so that they can create the life they want to live.

Kim Curtis is the bestselling author of “Money Secrets: Keys to Smart Investing” and “Retirement Secrets”. She is a nationally recognized wealth management advisor and President and CEO of Wealth Legacy Institute. Her groundbreaking work in developing a highly personal client-centric planning model was recognized in the Journal of Practical Estate Planning, winning the Editor’s Choice award. She has been profiled in several publications including the Wall Street Journal. Kim has attained numerous professional designations and been recognized by the financial planning industry as having achieved the highest level of competence and expertise.

Kim has an exciting story to share. She grew up in a small, rural farming community in upstate New York. One day when she was fourteen, her parents told her two sisters and Kim they were getting divorced, and her mother would gain full custody. They were poor and she received government-assisted school lunches. That red ticket was a measurement, a standard of comparison. It set her apart at school, made her feel less deserving, and was the beginning of my anxiety around the scarcity of money. Her money story is pretty fascinating.

150 episodes is huge in the world of podcasting! How huge? I’ll share some statistics.
A huge chunk of my conversation with start-up junkie Rob Broadhead was omitted from episode 149. Specifically, the part where we both share how cancer has affected our families. I’m going to share the excerpt here today AND catch y’all up on my own lived experience with metastatic breast cancer.
Finally, I’ll share some gratitude for just a few of the folks who have made Gratitude Geek possible.

Welcome to Gratitude Geek, the relationship marketing podcast helping micropreneurs find your micro-influencer magic. I’m your host, Kandas Rodarte and this week we have a replay of a classic episode.

Last week, we shared my conversation with Melinda Russell, founder of the Women's Motorsports Network. Her son, the late Ben Beeler, was one of my very first podcast interviewees. In fact, it's episode 5. It's an intriguing and heart-felt discussion with awesome lessons to be gleaned about selling cars, overcoming adversity and being a decent human. So much so, that 8 years after it was recorded, I'm compelled to share it here again.

In the over 150 interviews I've done, less than a handful have moved me to tears. This is one of them.

Not finding any kind of group or organization for women in motorsports, Melinda Russell created her own.

Kandas Rodarte shares 8 practices to cultivate gratitude.

Welcome to Gratitude Geek | A Relationship Marketing Podcast for Micropreneurs. I'm your host Kandas Rodarte and this week I give you the replay to my November 2021 lunch and learn about the science of gratitude.

Yes, it is scientifically proven that gratitude is good.

Before we begin, a moment of gratitude.

This week's moment of gratitude goes out to the business idea doula, Di Hilstad. Di is brilliantly adept at brand development. Her background as a scrapbooking store owner has helped hone her eye for design. A few weeks back, Di graciously took the reins of our Thursday morning Marketing Toolbox training while I was in Nantucket and did a brilliant job of explaining the thought process of creating a brand. And when my sound suddenly shorted out during Marketing Toolbox this past Thursday, she once again saved the day by facilitating until I could work around the issue. Thank you, Di!

And oh eh, eh oh... if you want to learn how to use Canva and other tools, Marketing Toolbox Training is super fun... join us any Thursday at 11 am Eastern. Register at MomGeek.com/toolbox for the zoom link.

And that is this week's moment of gratitude.

Well, there you have it! Thanks for joining us this week on Gratitude Geek | A relationship marketing podcast for micropreneurs. today's show notes are at http://MomGeek.com/102 including a link to subscribe to this show on iTunes, Stitcher, audible, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Join us again next week for another groovy episode of Gratitude Geek.

Brian Hilliard is a Popular Speaker, Coach & Author of the best-selling book Networking Like a Pro, and How to Overachieve w/o Over Committing. As a graduate of Duke University, Brian started his speaking business in 2001, and he has spoken to literally hundreds of audiences in the areas of Marketing, Leadership & Everyday Success Habits.

Welcome to episode 100 of this crazy podcast that’s about to have a rebrand. Or rather, a retro brand.

Let me ‘splain.

Episode 1 of the Gratitude Geek podcast went live on January 1, 2014. It was a conversation with an organizing professional about how New Year’s Resolutions are a very bad idea. Podcasting seemed like a great next step after hosting a YouTube talk show called Coffee, Cards & Conversations where I interviewed business owners in a local coffee shop about how they use greeting cards in their marketing plan.

If you are a long-time listener, you already know the rest of the story. For new listeners, here’s the short version.

Just 3 months after launching the weekly podcast, I was told an aggressive tumor had invaded my right breast. I name the tumor Bertha and went to work kicking her out.

Bertha didn’t deter me from podcasting! We even launched a second show, called Handmade in Texas! That one didn’t quite take off, though.

And then, in September of 2015, we learned that Bertha had metastasized to my left lung and treatment started all over again. This time, chemo was brutal, leaving me unable to walk unassisted for several days after treatment.

So, I had to slow down a bit.

We continued to record both the talk show and the podcast sporadically until 2017 when we moved to Michigan to retire (said in air quotes).

Then the pandemic hit and as the world was in limbo I realized I missed podcasting. I rebooted and rebranded to Be Who you Want to Be: You Business, Your Life. And now 58 episodes later, I realize the rebrand wasn’t necessarily the best idea for the kind of show I want to put out into the world.

While I’ve very much enjoyed the amazing conversations I’ve had over the past 18 months, I know I can do better.

So I’m reclaiming Gratitude Geek!

Going forward this show is all about gratitude… gratitude in our lives, gratitude in our businesses, and gratitude in the messages we tell the world.

You’ve heard me say it before, Gratitude is like manure, it’s just a pile of crap until you spread it around!

I hope you’ll join me on my mission to spread gratitude, sow seeds of appreciation and harvest a bounty of generosity and kindness.

Moment of Gratitude

Huge shout out to Soul Lily, the singer-songwriter from Conroe, Texas who so graciously allowed me to use her songs “What are We Waiting For” and “Never Give Up” as my theme music for all these many years.

Stick and around for a few minutes and enjoy the full studio versions of both songs. And be sure to check the show notes at MomGeek.com/100 for a link to follow SoulLily on Soundcloud.

Enjoy the music be sure to tune in next week for a new and awesome interview with another gratitude geek!

As the Chief Online Strategist of Digital Maestro, Paul B. Taubman, II teaches “technical stuff” to non-techies! He’s a master instructor at taking the obscure and complex and explaining it in a simple, fun, and educational way. Paul focuses his attention on teaching online marketing to folks looking to take control of their lives.

Kelly Hoey is determined to change the way we understand and approach the critical career skill of networking. She’s the author of Build Your Dream Network: Forging Powerful Connections In A Hyper-Connected World (Penguin Random House), a modern, practical guide to the necessary (and frequently misunderstood) task of networking.

In this episode of Be Who You Want to Be: Yoru Business Your Life, the podcast for micropreneurs designing your business and your life on your own terms, I’m joined by author, podcast host, basically all-around groovy dude, Robbie Samuels.

Robbie is a multi-passionate entrepreneur or what some would call a “multi-hyphenate.” In his case, this means he’s a professional speaker – business growth strategy coach – virtual event design consultant – executive Zoom producer – emcee – podcast host – author – virtual presentation skills trainer, and I’m likely leaving something out… He has been recognized as a “networking expert” by Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and Inc, and as an “industry expert in the field of digital event design” by JDC Events. As a virtual event design consultant, he assists organizations with bringing their events strategically online with less stress and greater participant engagement. As a business growth strategy coach, he helps his clients discover likely prospects who already know, like, and trust them so they stop struggling to launch their offer. Since 2016, he has hosted the On the Schmooze podcast and since March 2020, a weekly #NoMoreBadZoom Virtual Happy Hour.

Ben is an Author, Speaker, Actor, Improvist, Entrepreneur, Traveler, Father, and much, much more. He loves to explore, yes, physical places around the world, but also he loves to explore the mind. His most recent book, What to Expect when Having Expectations explores using the anger of unmet expectations to find inner peace.

This week on Be Who You Want to Be: Your Business, Your Life, I'm sharing a replay of my 2017 conversation with the late Mark Herdering, author of Hanging Out for a Living.

Jennie Bellinger is a Certified Professional Coach and the host of the Badass Direct Sales Mastery Podcast. She works with badass direct sales moms who are ready to double their monthly income. An entrepreneur since 2010, she understands the desire to contribute to your family’s future and be present with them in the here and now, and how difficult balancing those two priorities can be. So Jennie has learned the hard way (while building two separate businesses, raising two kids, and navigating a divorce) to fulfill that need to contribute and be there for her children.

This week on Be Who You Want to Be: Your Business, Your Life, the podcast for micropreneurs designing your business and your life on your own terms, I am sharing the replay from my September 2021 Lunch & Learn entitled Pitch Yourself to Podcasts.

Carol Clegg helps small businesses share authentic content on social media. She loves teaching solutions on how to master your own marketing until you can afford to pay a team to help you.

Carlee Myers, a Diplomate of The American Institute of Stress, is an expert at helping stressed-out leaders create true emotional and financial freedom all while working less. Carlee believes there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to stress management.

This week on Be Who You Want to Be: Your Business, Your Life, the podcast for micropreneurs designing your business and your life on your own terms, host Kandas Rodarte is joined by the entrepreneurs’ therapist, Shulamit Ber Levtov.

Shula helps womxn entrepreneurs stay sane as they ride the emotional rollercoaster of running a business. As a former psychotherapist and trauma specialist, Shula brings a unique approach to emotional support and mental health for womxn entrepreneurs by using mental wellness and resilience KPIs.

After leaving his corporate career, and subsequently launching and winding down his first business, Justin Higgins created an internet art project called 24HourHomePage to become a better entrepreneur.

This week on Be Who You Want to Be: Your Business, Your Life, the podcast for micropreneurs designing your business and your life on your own terms, I'm going to share a few stories about gratitude.

Samantha Schultz overcame perfectionism and fear before leaving corporate America to launch her travel franchise. She was raised to do the safe thing and work a desk job at a good company and quickly learned that was a great way to work for the weekend. As a franchise owner who has built a solid business, Samantha now enjoys time off whenever she wants.

Tim Young is a passionate marketer and entrepreneur who has written several books about homesteading and the business of farming. He has also launched several businesses including one that was listed in the INC 500 fastest growing companies. He recently launched a new collaboration with his wife and daughter called Gratitude Garb.

Alisa Rose left a six-figure corporate job as a Global Investment Manager in 2011 and BET on herself as a full-time Entrepreneur and single mother of 2. She is currently the owner of a successful boutique fitness studio in Wilmington Delaware, Art Fitness, and is launching a women’s apparel brand, Sisu Athletics, in the fall of 2021.

Widowed twice, Kristina raised her daughter, climbed corporate ladders, ran a consulting business, and taught fitness and dance while working. And if that is not enough, she did it all while earning several University diplomas and professional designations. Then, her story really gets interesting.

Times change and Conroe Coffee is NOW Vernele’s Bayou Bakery. However, the financial advice of my interviewee, Deanna Ooley, is still as strong as espresso.

Deanna Ooley is a Dave Ramsey Certified Financial Counselor. In fact, she is the recipient of the 2012 Outstanding Financial Peace Coordinator of the Year award. In this interview from 2014, she shares some practical advice for finding financial freedom.

Pay close attention because Deanna is one of the reasons my husband, Shane, and I were able to retire before either of us turned 50.

Key Discussion Points * That time Deanna figured out her education taught her how to spend money, not save * The steps to getting out of debt can be scary * Everyone intends to pay off their credit cards * Using cash is the secret to getting out of debt * “If we were doing math, we wouldn’t be in credit card debt.” * Eliminating debt may help eliminate body weight * Financial Peace University – a life changing course * Habitat for Humanity * How Deanna made Dave Ramsey cry
