Unfiltered Sessions Podcast
Raw. Real. Unfiltered.
Building a business isn’t just about numbers and strategy—it’s about long hours, sacrifices, and the relentless pursuit of something bigger than yourself. Unfiltered Sessions is where we strip away the fluff and talk about what it really takes to scale a business, balance life, and delegate like a pro.
From personal updates on the journey of growing my own business to candid conversations with entrepreneurs and industry experts, this podcast is about the real stories behind success—the struggles, the wins, and the lessons learned along the way.
If you're a business owner trying to do it all, wondering how to scale without burning out, or just looking for honest conversations about life and entrepreneurship, you're in the right place.
No filters. No sugarcoating. Just the truth about business, life, and the power of delegation.

I Stopped Paying Myself to Grow the Business (Here’s What Happened)
The Scariest Decision in Business: Do You Hire Before You’re Ready?
This episode is an honest look into a tension every entrepreneur eventually faces: when your business is growing but not quite enough to comfortably make your next hire. I’m in that exact season right now debating whether to keep profits tucked away “just in case,” or reinvest everything back into the team so the company can reach its next level.
Inside today’s episode, I break down:
✅ The fear of reinvesting when the profit cushion isn’t huge
✅ How to decide who your next hire should be
✅ Why keeping money in the bank can actually slow your growth
✅ The difference between protecting stability vs. enabling expansion
✅ How to think like the future version of your business not the current one
You’ll hear my real-time thought process about adding a marketing-focused team member (or two… or three), what that would mean financially, and why I’m choosing to double down even when it feels uncomfortable.
If you’re wrestling with your own “should I hire?” moment, this episode will help you zoom out, see the bigger picture, and make decisions based on where you’re going not where you’re standing today.
