  • The Business of Healing: Integrating Mental Health, Spiritual Insight & Leadership with Dr. Dorothy Martin-Neville

    The Business of Healing: Integrating Mental Health, Spiritual Insight & Leadership with Dr. Dorothy Martin-Neville
    2025/07/21
    Episode Summary: In this eye-opening episode of BizBlend, host Sana sits down with Dr. Dorothy Martin-Neville, a clinical psychologist and pioneer in mind-body healthcare. Together, they dive deep into the unspoken link between leadership performance and emotional health. From the psycho-spiritual roots of burnout to why unresolved childhood wounds often show up in boardrooms, this conversation exposes how true leadership demands inner alignment. Dr. Dorothy shares over four decades of insight on how stress, trauma, and emotional dis-ease impact business results, team dynamics, and culture. If you're a founder, executive, or leader navigating performance pressure and personal growth—this episode is your call to reclaim purpose, authenticity, and wellness. About the Guest: Dr. Dorothy Martin-Neville is a globally recognized clinical psychologist, author, speaker, and leader in integrative health. With 40+ years of experience, she is known for blending psychological science, spiritual insight, and leadership development. Her groundbreaking work in psycho-spiritual causality has helped leaders reconnect with their purpose, address burnout, and transform company culture from the inside out. Key Takeaways : Burnout is not just solved with time off—it often stems from a deeper misalignment between personal truth and external obligations. Businesses often mistake therapy stipends and mindfulness apps as solutions, while true mental health in leadership starts with spiritual self-inquiry and body awareness. Dr. Dorothy explains how suppressed emotional wounds—especially from childhood—can subconsciously shape leadership behavior, culture, and team health. Leaders who feel constantly pulled between doing “the right thing” and “being enough” are often working from unresolved belief systems of unworthiness. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting the past; it means no longer letting it run the show. When leaders heal internally, their creativity, compassion, and strategic insight expand significantly. True leadership arises when individuals operate from their calling, not just discipline. Performance is enhanced when individuals feel aligned with their essence. Organizational culture is a mirror of its leader’s internal world—clarity within creates coherence across.

  • Why Most Businesses Misunderstand Their Buyers – with Sean Shannon

    Why Most Businesses Misunderstand Their Buyers – with Sean Shannon
    2025/07/19
    In this powerful BizBlend episode, sales acceleration expert Sean Shannon unpacks a common yet often overlooked issue in business: most companies think they know what their customers are buying—but they don’t. Sean, a seasoned sales leader with decades of experience leading sales teams at iHeart and Cumulus Media, joins Sana to explain why understanding the “job” customers hire your product for is more crucial than knowing your product’s features. They dive deep into B2B sales strategy, the art of diagnosing before selling, the danger of cold calls without context, and the truth about AI in sales. Sean shares practical frameworks, like Jobs Theory and his 6-question discovery model, to help businesses unlock real customer insight. This is a must-listen for founders, marketing leads, and sales professionals who want to stop guessing—and start selling smarter. About the Guest: Sean Shannon is a fractional sales leader and founder of Strategic Growth Design. With a career spanning top radio brands and now fractional executive consulting, Sean helps SMBs accelerate revenue through clarity, connection, and customer-first strategy. He also teaches marketing at the University of North Georgia. Key Takeaways: Most businesses confuse what they sell with what customers are truly buying. Customers don’t buy products—they hire them to solve specific problems or fulfill outcomes. Diagnosing the right problem is more valuable than pitching a quick solution. Salespeople must learn to identify the largest problem a customer faces, not just the first one that shows up. AI can automate outreach, but human connection, real discovery calls, and empathy can't be replaced. “Yes” or “No” closes the sales cycle. “Maybe” is the true trap. Cold calling still works—but quality prep and frequency matter more than mass outreach. Effective sales strategy starts by flipping traditional top-down targeting into bottom-up understanding—focus on why people buy.

  • From Pain to Purpose: How Téa Phillips Turned Her Grandmother’s Arthritis Struggles into a Healthcare Innovation

    From Pain to Purpose: How Téa Phillips Turned Her Grandmother’s Arthritis Struggles into a Healthcare Innovation
    2025/07/18
    In this episode of BizBlend, we dive deep with Téa Phillips, mechanical engineer and founder of ATS Innovations, to uncover how a simple but powerful observation of her grandmother’s arthritis led to the creation of Metaflex — a glove that is changing lives. From winning pitch competitions to facing FDA hurdles and funding challenges, Téa shares the raw truth of entrepreneurship. This isn’t just a story of innovation — it’s a story of purpose, resilience, and building with heart in a profit-driven healthcare world. If you’re caught between a paycheck and a passion, or looking to create real impact, this episode is for you. Tune in to hear how Téa is rewriting what it means to lead with empathy and engineering. ABOUT THE GUEST Téa Phillips is the Founder of ATS Innovations and creator of Metaflex, an all-in-one therapeutic glove for arthritis patients. With a background in mechanical engineering and a heart rooted in family, she’s redefining healthcare innovation by blending purpose, science, and compassion. KEY TAKEAWAYS Téa’s journey began with a deeply personal story — her grandmother’s painful experience with arthritis led her to create a solution that combines science and soul. Metaflex integrates compression, finger extension, and strength training in one — a first-of-its-kind innovation born from necessity and love. Téa’s path wasn’t straightforward. After earning her engineering degree, she delayed launching her business due to financial fears and societal pressure, only to take the leap after her grandmother’s health rapidly declined. The startup life isn’t glamorous — from FDA compliance to investor expectations, the pressure is real. But Téa reminds us that the mission matters more. She’s not building a business for profit alone; she’s building something people-first — affordable, accessible, and effective for everyday users. Her leadership today includes managing growth, hiring talent, and preparing to launch in new international markets, proving innovation doesn’t stop at the prototype.

  • Rewiring the Burnout Brain: Mindfulness, Mental Health & Leadership with Dr. Shanea Clancy

    Rewiring the Burnout Brain: Mindfulness, Mental Health & Leadership with Dr. Shanea Clancy
    2025/07/17
    What happens when high-achieving founders are praised for their hustle but quietly falling apart inside? In this raw and unfiltered episode of BizBlend, host Sana sits down with Dr. Shanea Clancy, a former forensic nurse turned mindset strategist, to unpack the silent epidemic of burnout among entrepreneurs. They dive deep into the psychological toll of performance-driven leadership, the cost of ignoring mental health, and how mindfulness isn’t just a wellness buzzword—but a business necessity. Whether you're scaling your startup or holding down a demanding team, this episode gives you tools to recalibrate in real time. Learn why emotional intelligence is the new currency of leadership and how to reconnect with your values before burnout becomes your bottom line. This isn’t about toxic positivity or hustle culture—it’s about real conversations for real business leaders. About the Guest: Dr. Shanea Clancy is a forensic nurse turned mindset strategist who now coaches leaders and entrepreneurs in resilience, trauma recovery, and emotional intelligence. With firsthand experience navigating high-stress environments and healing from burnout, she helps business owners bridge performance with presence and purpose. Key Takeaways: Dr. Shanea Clancy shares how her experience in forensic nursing exposed her to trauma, moral injury, and mental collapse—lessons she now uses to coach entrepreneurs under extreme stress. Rewiring the brain after trauma starts with acknowledgment. Mindset shifts begin when we recognize our patterns and intentionally seek elevated circles that reflect who we want to become. Burnout isn't always obvious. Founders often realize too late because symptoms like emotional disconnection or tunnel vision feel like ‘normal hustle.’ Emotional intelligence (EQ) is not a soft skill—it’s critical to sustainable leadership. Ignoring it may create high performance at first but leads to long-term team and personal disintegration. “Work-life balance” is outdated. Dr. Clancy advocates for integrated living—where priorities shift across time, and business and life inform one another. She introduces the idea of moral injury in business—when founders must make decisions that go against their values, leading to deep internal conflict and disengagement. Practical strategies like time-blocking, breathing breaks, and creating non-negotiable personal moments help regulate stress and reduce reactivity.

    2025/07/16
    In this inspiring episode of BizBlend, we’re joined by Gina Cano — a tech executive, keynote speaker, first-generation college graduate, and author of Unapologetically You. Raised in a small Texas town with no role models in her industry, Gina shares how she built a thriving career in tech leadership without a roadmap. This conversation dives into the emotional and strategic layers of building a career from scratch, navigating identity, advocating for your worth (even when drowning in debt), and redefining success on your own terms. Perfect for LinkedIn leaders, Instagram entrepreneurs, YouTube learners, and Facebook professionals who are tired of traditional templates and ready to create their own blueprint. About the Guest: Gina Cano is a seasoned tech executive, leadership coach, and author. From launching call centers in India to negotiating her way out of financial struggle, Gina’s story is one of grit, resilience, and cultural pride. Her book, Unapologetically You, and upcoming tech accessibility series, Unapologetic Tech, are redefining how we see leadership and inclusion in modern business. Key Takeaways : Redefining Success: Gina breaks down how success isn’t about checking boxes but about finding what matters to you — whether that’s breathing room, health, or having food on the table. Advocating for Self-Worth: Even when facing extreme debt and uncertainty, Gina negotiated a $10,000 relocation bonus. Her message: ask anyway. Cultural Identity as Strength: As a first-gen Latina in tech, Gina sees her cultural roots not as a hurdle but as a superpower that fuels resilience and authenticity. Lessons Over Failures: Gina doesn’t believe in failure — only learning moments. Her life proves that you can stumble, struggle, and still rise stronger. Authenticity in Leadership: Gina shows us that leadership isn’t about perfection; it’s about owning your truth, making mistakes, and staying real — on LinkedIn, on stage, or in the breakroom.

  • Redefining Power: Ethical Leadership, Women at the Top & Writing a New Narrative | Karen Ann Bulluck

    Redefining Power: Ethical Leadership, Women at the Top & Writing a New Narrative | Karen Ann Bulluck
    2025/07/14
    In this bold and thoughtful episode of BizBlend, host Sana speaks with Karen Ann Bulluck—former corporate executive turned novelist and leadership coach—about the untold ethical dilemmas faced by women in leadership. Karen’s fiction series mirrors her real-life pivot from boardroom to authorship, offering an honest look at how ambition, integrity, gender dynamics, and personal values collide at the top. This episode is for every woman rethinking success, and for every leader navigating decisions that tug at their conscience. Karen also dives into her final book's themes—trust, AI, and the future of human-centered leadership. Tune in if you’re ready to challenge traditional leadership models, confront inner doubts, and step into your power with awareness and courage. About the Guest: Karen Ann Bulluck is the author of a thought-provoking trilogy exploring women’s leadership, ethical dilemmas, and power. A former corporate executive, she now coaches women leaders through complex transitions and decision-making. She is the founder of Daring to Transcend, a platform supporting women in leading with integrity. Key Takeaways : Karen’s bold career pivot from a high-level executive role to writing fiction was sparked by a need to express her creativity and explore leadership beyond metrics. Her novels confront the unspoken toll ethical decisions have on women in leadership—especially in male-dominated or profit-driven spaces. Through her character Cheryl, Karen shows how integrity can create friction both professionally and personally, even in marriages and among investors. Women often underestimate their leadership value and avoid claiming credit—Karen discusses how this is not only a mindset block but an ethical blind spot in self-leadership. The upcoming book in her trilogy will explore the ethical dilemmas of AI in leadership, trust repair, and maintaining humanity in an increasingly digitized world.

  • The Leadership Genius: Enneagram, AI & Building Purposeful Teams with Austin McMillan

    The Leadership Genius: Enneagram, AI & Building Purposeful Teams with Austin McMillan
    2025/07/13
    In this thought-provoking episode of BizBlend, host Sana sits down with Austin McMillan, founder of Flywheel Financial, to dive deep into people-first leadership. From cattle ranches to Wall Street to finance and landscape industry acquisitions, Austin shares how his diverse career has shaped his unique leadership approach. They unpack how tools like the Enneagram and Working Genius drive team alignment, hiring strategy, and sustainable growth. Plus, Austin reveals how AI is revolutionizing small business operations, and why the future belongs to growth-minded teams that adapt, learn, and lead with intention. Whether you’re a solopreneur or managing a growing team, this episode offers a roadmap to leadership that blends insight, innovation, and impact. About the Guest Austin McMillan is the founder of Flywheel Financial, where he helps small businesses scale profitably by aligning people, processes, and purpose. A former Wall Street trader turned business owner, Austin now focuses on team optimization using tools like Enneagram and Working Genius, while embracing AI to streamline systems and free up human potential. Key Takeaways Austin explains how tools like Enneagram and Working Genius are not just personality tests but powerful frameworks for hiring, collaboration, and team health. Enneagram helps align personality traits with the right roles, while Working Genius helps identify strengths across stages of execution—from ideation to completion. Leaders must avoid boxing people into labels; these tools are for alignment, not limitation. The integration of AI in business—especially in accounting—frees up bandwidth for human connection, strategic thinking, and creative leadership. Austin stresses that growth-minded individuals will thrive in an AI-augmented world, while those who resist change risk becoming obsolete. Real business impact comes from aligning profit with purpose and building teams that are both technically empowered and personally fulfilled. Leaders who ignore tools like Enneagram or AI may see short-term savings but risk long-term burnout, turnover, and inefficiency.
