Meet Jacquees Anderson — former Harvard Law grad, corporate M&A attorney, startup operator, and co-founder of a venture-backed company that raised over $160 million.
On paper, Jacquees did everything “right.” She followed the path, built at scale, and operated inside high-growth environments. But during a deeply personal season of caregiving, she realized something critical: the way she was working — and leading — was completely out of alignment with how she was designed to operate.
In this episode of Get Sh!t Done, Jacquees breaks down how Human Design became a practical operating system for her work, leadership, and decision-making — not as a personality test, but as a framework founders, operators, and ecosystem builders can actually use to grow sustainably.
This is a tactical conversation about energy, alignment, and structure and how understanding your design helps you stop forcing productivity, make better decisions, and scale without burning out.
💡 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
If you’ve ever felt like the strategies that used to work suddenly stopped working or like you’re doing everything “right” but still feel exhausted, this episode will help you understand why, and what to do instead.

This is our last episode of 2025! We'll see you back here in January 2026 <3
Meet Sehreen Noor Ali, a zero-to-one founder who made one of the hardest decisions in entrepreneurship: letting go of a business that was technically working.
Sehreen co-founded Sleuth, a venture-backed pediatric health startup that reached 64,000+ families, earned Fast Company recognition, and achieved a $3 CAC in an industry where the average is $168. On paper, the company was strong. But behind the scenes, market shifts, a caregiving crisis, and growing founder depletion forced a deeper reckoning.
In this Founder Confession episode of Get Sh!t Done, Sehreen pulls back the curtain on what it actually looks like to evaluate alignment, confront sunk-cost thinking, and walk away with integrity, without burning bridges or losing yourself in the process.
💡 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
If you’re an entrepreneur, operator, or ecosystem leader navigating a crossroads or quietly wondering if it’s time to let something go—we hope this episode will help you slow down, get honest, and choose your next move without guilt.

Most founders dream about launching a membership because they want predictable recurring revenue.
But here’s the truth: recurring revenue only works when you create recurring value.
This week, we’re joined by Mike Morrison, co-founder of Membership Academy and one of the most trusted experts in the membership space. Over the past decade, Mike has helped thousands of founders build high-retention membership businesses that grow sustainably.
When Mike launched his first membership, nothing about it suggested it would become a 7-figure recurring revenue engine. He didn’t have a massive audience. He didn’t have a huge content library. What he did have was a deep understanding of what his audience cared about and the systems to support them over time.
In this episode, Mike breaks down what most founders get wrong about memberships and the exact strategies that make the model work.
How to Diagnose Member Motivation: The 4 Member Motivators that reveal what your audience truly values—and why people actually stay.
How to Validate Your Idea With Real Buyers: Mike’s Paid Masterclass Test that shows you if your membership will work before you spend months building it.
How to Design a Membership That Gets Wins, Not Overwhelm: The simple framework structure that helps members make progress without drowning you in content creation.
How to Price for Predictable Recurring Revenue: The Founder → Step-Up → Legacy pricing model that builds trust, momentum, and long-term MRR.
How to Keep Members for Years: The onboarding, feedback loops, and “fire yourself” systems that turn a membership from stressful… to sustainable.
Whether you're building your first membership or reviving one that hasn’t hit its stride, this is the roadmap most founders never get and the one that makes recurring revenue actually work.

Meet Tracy Holland, the founder who built HatchBeauty into a $100M+ powerhouse and more than $750M in lifetime revenue, without a single dollar of VC or PE.
While most founders get told they have to raise to scale, Tracy built a completely self-funded engine that outperformed venture-backed competitors. She turned a $2M agency into her investor, negotiated net-90 terms as an unknown startup, landed retail giants like Costco and Target, and built systems that eventually let her step out of the operator seat entirely.
In this episode, Tracy pulls back the curtain on the exact frameworks she used to scale from $0 to $100M—and the mindset shifts founders must make if they want to build a high-growth, high-ownership business without burning out.

Meet Evita Robinson, founder of NoMadness Travel Tribe, and Tania Kottoor, founder of WEST X EAST — two powerhouse entrepreneurs whose founder journeys include Emmy wins, global communities, brand deals, motherhood, and milestone growth…
but also panic attacks, postpartum crises, leadership burnout, financial pressure, and the kind of emotional unraveling entrepreneurship never prepares you for.
In this episode, we strip away the glamor and dig into the truth:
Founders don’t break because they’re weak.
They break because they forget they’re human and because the blueprint we were given for “success” is breaking an entire generation of entrepreneurs.
💡 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
How to Stop Carrying What Was Never Yours: Why founders feel responsible for everything — and how to identify what’s actually yours to hold.
How to Catch Breakdown Before It Hits: The early signs (numbness, dread, emotional shutdown) that high performers often ignore.
How to Ask for Help Without Feeling Like You’re Failing: Language and strategies for getting support while staying in your power.
How to Rebuild a Rhythm Your Body Can Withstand: Daily anchors, boundaries, and scheduling shifts that prevent burnout.
How to Redefine Success So You Don’t Lose Yourself: The post-breakdown clarity that helps founders build from truth, not pressure.
This is the most honest conversation we’ve had about mental health in entrepreneurship, not a pity party, not a highlight reel, but a roadmap for leading in a world that’s been asking too much of us for far too long.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still falling apart inside, this episode will make you feel seen and give you a way forward.

Meet Nicole Staple, co-founder of Brideside — once a fast-growing bridal startup with retail locations across the country and millions in venture funding.
In 2019, as her company scaled, Nicole’s husband was re-diagnosed with terminal cancer.
She found herself signing a $7M term sheet in the same window she learned it was the endgame.
Months later, she buried her husband, faced a global pandemic that crushed her industry, and had to shut the company down.
But what came next wasn’t another “comeback” story.
It was a rebirth that was built with boundaries, holding grief, and the courage to redefine success.
💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:
How to Keep Building When Life Falls Apart: What Nicole held onto when control shattered.
How to Set Boundaries in Grief: The rituals and routines that protected her capacity.
How to Ask for Help (Without Feeling Weak): The community that kept her afloat.

How to Redefine Success: Why she stopped measuring growth by speed — and started measuring it by spaciousness.

In just seven months, she turned a 100-day content experiment into a six-figure creator business—earning brand deals with ByteDance and fintech companies, growing an audience of 30K+, and proving that you don’t need millions of followers to make meaningful money.
What started as a personal challenge to post on TikTok every day became a crash course in building trust, community, and consistent revenue through content. Today, Dulma’s media-driven approach is helping founders reimagine visibility as leverage.

While the startup world glorifies IPOs and billion-dollar exits, the truth is: less than 1% of companies ever IPO and yet thousands of founders sell their businesses every year for six, seven, or eight figures. Those exits? They can be just as life-changing.
In this episode, Lexi and Carrie break down how they’ve helped founders turn profitable, purpose-driven companies into real paydays.

Meet Caitlin Bartley, founder of Cred PR, the 7-figure, all-women agency behind some of the biggest thought leadership events in the world.
When Caitlin came back from Australia with no investors, no plan, and no promise of success, she gave herself one challenge: Can I build something sustainable from scratch?
What started as a one-woman operation with a single client turned into 30,000+ events, an 80% referral rate, and a team of 20 women who’ve scaled Cred entirely on systems, focus, and trust.
In this episode, Caitlin opens up about how she bootstrapped her way to freedom, earning her next move instead of raising for it, and why she believes the most powerful growth engines are built on process and people, not pitch decks.
💡 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
How to Bootstrap Without Burning Out: The financial discipline that turned one client into a 7-figure agency.
How to Systemize Chaos: The “whiteboard moment” that transformed overwhelm into operational flow.
How to Find Your Focus: Why doing one thing exceptionally well made Cred irreplaceable.
How to Build an 80% Referral Engine: The simple rituals that turn great service into predictable growth.
How to Lead with Radical Transparency: The dashboard practice that makes every team member feel like an owner.
If you’ve ever wondered how to scale a service-based business without losing your soul (or your sanity), this episode is your playbook. Caitlin proves you don’t need to out-raise anyone, you just need to out-care, out-focus, and out-systemize them.

Meet Laci Hewett, founder of Saltwater Boys Co., the million-dollar kids’ clothing brand that started with a $200 heat press and a single Facebook post.
Laci wasn’t trying to start a business—she was a hospice nurse on maternity leave, craving a creative outlet after years of burnout. But one T-shirt, made for her sons and shared in a mom group, changed everything. That post sold out in 24 hours, brought in $16K in the first month, and quietly planted the seeds of a seven-figure brand built from her kitchen table.
Four years later, Laci’s turned her side project into a profitable, bootstrapped business loved by families nationwide and stocked by retailers across the country. She didn’t do it with ads or investors—she did it with story, systems, and scrappiness.
In this episode, Laci gets real about what it takes to grow a business between nap times and night shifts, how she scaled without losing her peace, and the systems she built to keep her million-dollar brand running smoothly.
💡 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

Meet Tracy Lawrence, founder of Chewse, the catering marketplace she scaled from a Word Doc MVP and $10 eFax line to $20M+ in revenue, 300 employees, and $40M raised.
While most founders obsess over tech and funnels, Tracy built Chewse by doing the unscalable—running her first 100 orders manually, walking into restaurants cold, and building trust one relationship at a time. But scaling fast came with a cost: burnout, a failed Series C, and the hardest decision of all—knowing when to let go.
In this episode, Tracy breaks down how she validated demand without tech, scaled a marketplace across multiple cities, built a “love culture” that fueled retention, and what it really looks like to grieve the business you built.
💡 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
How to Validate Demand Before You Build Tech: Why Tracy ran her first 100 orders manually and why manual = insight engine.

Meet Lizmarie Oliveras, my first co-founder EVER.
We didn’t just start a company together, we built a vision from scratch. We were scrappy, driven, and 100% convinced of our vision.
But here’s the thing no one tells you: building a business together is one challenge, but building a partnership that can survive growth, personal changes, and different visions for the future? That’s a whole different game. We hit a point where it was clear - we wanted different things, and pretending otherwise was only going to hurt the business we’d poured ourselves into.
But somewhere along the way, the cracks started showing. Disagreements turned into silence. Trust eroded. Eventually, it didn’t just end, it ended in flames. The kind of split that leaves you questioning everything.
For years, we didn’t talk. But time has a way of softening edges. We found our way back - not as co-founders, but as friends. And with distance, we saw the lessons buried in the wreckage: how we could have built a better foundation, how to spot the signs sooner, and how to end things in a way that doesn’t torch everything in sight.
💡 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
How to Define Your Lanes Early: The Owner Matrix method for clarifying decision-makers, avoiding turf wars, and keeping the business moving.
How to Align on Vision Before It’s Too Late: The 1-Page Vision Doc that keeps you and your co-founder rowing in the same direction—even in rough waters.
How to Spot the Signs It’s Time to Move On: The Founder Alignment Audit that makes hard conversations easier (and less personal).
How to Break Up Without Breaking Your Business: The Exit Framework for leaving with relationships and reputation intact.
How to Preserve Momentum Post-Breakup: Strategies for redistributing responsibilities, communicating with the team, and keeping customers confident.

Meet Corri McFadden, founder of eDropoff, the former multi-million dollar luxury consignment business that helped pioneer an entire industry. She launched with $36 in her bank account, scaled to national recognition, and even landed a VH1 show. But 15 years later, Corey made the kind of power move most founders are too afraid to make: she walked away.
While most entrepreneurs are trying to scale at all costs, Corey chose clarity over chaos. She exited the business that made her name, not in burnout or bitterness, but with grace, integrity, and intention.
In this episode, Corri breaks down the emotional and tactical blueprint for how to leave a company you built without losing your identity, burning your reputation, or ghosting your team.

Christine was a single mom in a toxic job, Jules was the more risk-averse operator—but together, they walked away from a broken system to build a business that now lands multi-million dollar government contracts and funds their product development, all without outside capital.

Meet Mona Bavar, founder of DLISH, the multi-million dollar premium gifting company that scaled without ads, a sales team, or even inventory.
While most product founders chase traffic and pour cash into ads, Mona took a different route: she went deep, not wide. One thoughtfully curated gift turned into a 750-unit deal with Pfizer—and that one connection unlocked a global client roster including Google, Spotify, and more. Her secret?

In this episode, Mona breaks down how she built a lean, global operation, turned EQ into her best CRM, and created luxury-level margins on a bootstrap budget.
