#18: “Can It Be Purposeful and Make Money?”

Unsolicited Business Advice ·

2026/02/11

Well, friends, we’re continuing the conversation from Episode 17 because 20 minutes after we ended that episode, Callie had a huge realization about a story she’s been telling herself. We’d tell you, but that would just spoil the episode :) Callie does (once again) share some thoughts she has around money, living on purpose, and her journey in her religion, and how that has created this whole story we talk about. Key Takeaways: Can something be two things at once? Joyf...

2026/02/04

Amanda here…I spoke with Callie about the growth of her business, and, well, you could say she keeps putting off answering me. So, (with her permission) I ask it in today's episode. Hang with me as I ask the question, because I made it up as I went and wanted to choose my words wisely, as what they’ve grown is freaking incredible, and they don’t give themselves enough credit. And, I want to personally thank her for being very real, raw, and vulnerable in this conversation and allo...

#16: Feedback…”Could My Feedback Be Hurtful or Helpful?"

Unsolicited Business Advice ·

2026/01/29

It's not about being right or wrong. This week we had a submission around a topic that has felt necessary to talk about (in Amanda's eyes!), so here goes: "I find myself being hesitant to provide feedback. This could be to a direct report, a colleague, a client, a prospect, or a higher up. Oftentimes I’m afraid of being direct because in my mind it might hurt feelings or that it will be offensive to the recipient, so I end up sugar coating it, tap dancing around the real iss...

#15: "Networking For Introverts…Help!"

Unsolicited Business Advice ·

2026/01/21

Networking. We know there’s a gray area, but a lot of times it seems like it’s black and white. You either like it or not. This week's question was, “Networking for introverts or for those whose work drains all of their social energy. Is one’s network really as powerful as biz influencers say? How to make the small connections when you’re drained out.” If you haven’t noticed, Callie is an introvert, and Amanda is an extrovert. Which was fun to talk about these answers from both pe...

Unsolicited Business Advice ·

2026/01/14

A doozy of a question for us on this week's episode! "How do you build generational wealth in your business?" And because we know our lane, we brought in expert advice! Mindy McCubbin is a Certified Financial Planner and the founder of Truman Wealth Advisors. When we asked Mindy this question, she recommended the book, “Every Family’s Business” by Thomas Williams Deans, as one of their services is exit planning, and this is the blueprint they use. And you'd be correct in thinking...that...

2026/01/07

This week, we're digging into hiring! A write-in, "Hiring! What's the secret sauce? Can you all dive deep into the ever-so-slightly painful process of 'hiring' - from where to post, to red flags (this has been a hard one for me!), to balancing your gut with hard and objective strategy." We'll admit we are not HR, and we're not talent scouts. We dive deep into the complexities of the hiring process, sharing personal experience and practical tips. A book recommendation is The E-Myth Revisi...

Self Awareness and Its Role in Business

Unsolicited Business Advice ·

2025/12/30

Think of this as Part 2 of Episode 11, as we continue the conversation about marketing and branding and how they play into building a growing business. But, the kicker of this one is… Self Awareness. How many times a day do we do things because it’s just what we’ve always done, or it’s how we’ve seen other people do it? We didn’t actually count, but it’s a shit ton. And because of that, there’s been a sense of vanilla in the world. Samesies as the cool kids would say (or maybe they do...

Unsolicited Business Advice ·

2025/12/23

A new submission for us to answer, as kind of marketers, but no marketing experts! “How do you all feel your branding affects your leads/potential clients?” Long story short, who you show up as will attract who you want AND repel who you don’t…and that can be kind of scary. Callie shares details about their brand, Reclaimed, and how each new business is essentially the same yet not the same. And then, Amanda shares how different her first personal brand was vs. her current one. Key Tak...

I Think I Want To Close It Down…

Unsolicited Business Advice ·

2025/12/10

This submission took us on a journey back in time…a time when we closed something of our own down. “I'm not sure. I want to continue my business. And I know you guys have talked about this, but please talk me through it.” Our conversation explores our personal experience of business closure, emphasizing that shutting down a business is often a new beginning rather than an end…and yes, it’s hard to see that in the middle of it. We discuss the emotional challenges entrepreneurs face, such...

Wait? How Did I Get Here?

Unsolicited Business Advice ·

2025/11/25

Buckle up, friends! This one isn't exactly about business, but it also is. Callie brought up a topic that, some may say, has become trending. Mostly for women, and when we start coming into our 40s, and the conversation becomes… "I'm tired. What am I doing with my life? I hate my career. Why did I pick what I picked? I went to school for this thing, and I got this degree, but it's not at all what I wanna do. Why did I do that? And, I can't start over. I'm at this place in my life where I...

This week on Unsolicited Business Advice, Amanda Quick and Callie Page tackle a listener question: "As a consultant/coach, I happen upon a lot of businesses that I can see need our help, but I don’t know how to reach out to them (which would be a “cold” reach out) without getting lost in the noise and/or offending them.
