The Goal Digger Podcast | Top Business and Marketing Podcast for Creatives, Entrepreneurs, and Women in Business

This summer, I am not focused on launching something new. I am focused on building something essential: playbooks. Clear, step-by-step documentation that makes our business run smoother, with or without me. Dan Martell’s book Buy Back Your Time reminded me that real freedom comes from documented systems, not just delegation. And my friend Stacy Tuschl challenged us to not just build playbooks, but to test them. That hit hard! The truth is, I learned this lesson the hard way. One of my team members broke her foot during a major launch and suddenly we realized she was the only one who knew how to do a few key crucial elements of her job. From that moment on, I knew that if we wanted peace, to grow with ease, and to actually protect our people, we had to build the playbooks for each role. So, come along this journey with me while I explain what a playbook is, how we’re building them out, and how we’re testing them!

What happens when Instagram expert Brock Johnson grills me about my favorite platform? A rapid-fire strategy session that turned into a full-blown Pinterest masterclass. Originally recorded for Brock’s podcast Build Your Tribe, this convo was too good not to share (listen to the original episode here!). In this conversation, we flipped roles: he asked the questions, I dished out the tactics, and the feedback was fire! We heard things like: “This reignited the fire, I’m jumping back into Pinterest!” and “Instagram is burning me out, and this is exactly what I needed.” If you’re tired of chasing trends and want your content to actually last, this BONUS crossover episode is for you. So if you’re burned out on Instagram, tired of chasing trends, or just curious how to get more mileage out of your content, this episode is your Pinterest crash course. And if you’re ready to learn more about Pinterest like right now, you missed my live masterclass but we’ve got it on demand for you, just head to http://www.teachmetopin.com!

If we could sit down together for a cup of coffee or a walk around the block, these are the exact questions I know you’d be asking: How do I grow an email list without a huge following? How do I launch something big, like a book, while navigating motherhood or a major life pivot? How do I turn my business into a rinse-and-repeat machine instead of reinventing the wheel every week? …Oh, and can we talk about sleep? Because I’m tired. You’re tired. Let’s fix that too. This Q+A episode is packed with real, raw, and super actionable advice from questions submitted by YOU: my community of doers, dreamers, and builders.

Feeling anxious about the economy or unsure how to take control of your financial life? You’re not alone, and this episode is your toolkit. Haley Sacks, AKA Mrs. Dow Jones, is a self-made financial powerhouse who turned confusion into clarity and turned budgeting into a cultural movement.

Her latest creation, The Money Book 2.0, is a revolutionary, spreadsheet-based financial system that’s already changed over 10,000 lives and counting. It’s intuitive, secure, fun, and actually works! No clunky apps, no confusing spreadsheets, just results. In this conversation, we’re digging into how to budget with confidence, why your spreadsheet might be sexier than your stock portfolio, and how to stop feeling behind when it comes to money… no matter what the headlines say.

Have you ever heard a story so raw, so real, that it physically stopped you in your tracks? The kind of story that makes you put down your to-do list, take a deep breath, and remember why you started this journey in the first place? May is National Small Business Month, and while I LOVE hearing from the headline-makers and household names, today is about something even more special: real stories from real listeners of this podcast. These are the kind of women who tune in while they’re juggling kids and client calls, who build their dreams during nap time or after their 9-to-5. They may not have gone viral, but what they’ve built? It’s powerful. It’s personal. And it matters. Tonbra, Maris, and Chelle didn’t just build businesses… They built something beautiful from heartbreak, identity shifts, and unimaginable challenges. From cancer diagnoses to grief to reinvention, these women turned their hardest chapters into platforms that now help others. If you’re walking through your own hard chapter, or even just need a reminder of what’s possible on the other side of pain, this one’s for you. And hey, if you want to be part of this kind of community I’d love to invite you into the Goal Digger Podcast Insiders Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/ Goal Digger Facebook Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/goaldiggerpodcast/ Goal Digger Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goaldiggerpodcast/ Goal Digger Show Notes: https://www.jennakutcherblog.com/national-small-business-month-stories Thanks to our Goal Digger Sponsors: Get $25 off your first purchase at http://therealreal.com/goaldigger.

In a world that celebrates big milestones, loud announcements, and curated perfection, it’s easy to forget that some of the most meaningful wins don’t make it to the feed. They happen behind closed doors. They don’t come with applause. They aren’t always photogenic… but they are real. And they are enough. Today’s episode is a deeply personal one. I’m pulling back the curtain on how my definition of success has changed over the years… How I’m still digging my biggest goals, but now it’s in a way that aligns more with how I want to feel, not just how it all looks. Whether you’re in a season of quiet growth, private healing, or just choosing to build a life that prioritizes peace over performance, I hope this episode feels like a soft place to land. Let’s redefine what it means to win… even when no one else is watching. Ready? Click play!

For most of us, creating content is the part that feels natural, but promotion feels more vulnerable. So we do what we’ve always done… we make something new. We stay busy. We stay in motion. But what if the real power isn’t in making more, but in letting what you’ve already made breathe a little longer? What if the magic isn’t in more content, but in more intention behind how it’s shared? Visit http://www.teachmetopin.com to learn about the platform I’ve been teaching about for over eight years, one I’ve helped over 25,000 people use in their business to create content systems that actually last! In this episode, I’m walking you through a simple mindset shift that changed everything for me. If you're feeling burned out, tired of feeding the algorithm, or wondering why your content doesn’t seem to carry the weight it should, this one’s for you. We’ll explore what it looks like to shift from short-term content bursts to long-term, strategic sharing. I'm talking about ways to make your creations live longer, reach further, and work harder without requiring more from you every single day.

We’ve all been there—pouring time, energy, and maybe even money into an idea that felt like a winner, only to launch it and hear… crickets. It’s frustrating, it’s discouraging, and it can make you second-guess everything. But what if you could know before you create whether an idea is actually worth pursuing? In this episode, I’m breaking down how to validate your ideas before you invest in them so you stop wasting time on offers, products, or projects that won’t sell. I’ll share the simple ways I test demand, get real audience feedback, and tweak ideas before they ever go to market.

In 2021, she walked into her first Create & Cultivate event as an attendee, looking to make connections and gain insights for her own business. Fast forward to today—she’s the CEO and Partner of the very brand that inspired her. Marina is a powerhouse when it comes to building communities, amplifying women’s voices, and helping them break barriers in business. Before stepping into her leadership at Create & Cultivate, she worked with Fortune 500 companies at Yahoo! and Tumblr, strategizing digital media campaigns. She has since coached and consulted hundreds of female founders, helping them grow their brands with confidence. In this episode, Marina shares the defining moments that shaped her career—from navigating the corporate world as a woman of color to stepping into the CEO role of a major media and events brand. We’re diving into how mentorship, networking, and representation can accelerate career growth, plus the lessons she’s learned balancing leadership and motherhood. If you’ve ever felt like an outsider in your industry or wondered how to cultivate the right connections to propel your career forward, this conversation is for you!

Today’s episode is one of my absolute favorites because it’s all about YOU. We’re diving into another Ask Me Anything—your real, unfiltered questions, straight from the Goal Digger community. You left me the best voicemails—honest, thoughtful, and full of the kinds of questions we don’t talk about enough. In this episode, I’m answering some juicy ones: how to navigate major pivots, get out of content creation burnout, and yep… I’m even opening up about one of my biggest career flops and what it taught me! These AMA episodes feel like a coffee chat with a side of business therapy, and I have a feeling something in here is going to hit right where you’re at—whether you’re just starting out or scaling up. If you want to be part of a future episode, I’d love to hear from you! Simply call 218-203-9660, leave your name, where you’re calling from, and your question and YOU may be featured on a future episode of the Goal Digger Podcast!

Do you ever feel like your to-do list is endless and self-care is always the first thing to fall off? If you’ve ever told yourself, “I’ll rest when I finish this project” or “I just need to push through,” or “When I have something to celebrate, I’ll do it with self care…” Well, then this episode is for you. Alisha Robertson is on a mission to help women entrepreneurs manage their capacity and make rest a daily priority. After experiencing severe burnout, she shut down her coaching business, took a full year off, and did the deep work to redefine success. Now, as the founder of Doing Everyday Well, she’s giving women practical tools to build businesses that don’t require sacrificing their well-being. In this episode, Alisha and I are tackling how to actually schedule self-care into your daily life, why not planning around your energy leads straight to burnout, and why rest is your most profitable business strategy. If you’re tired of glorifying the hustle and ready to start prioritizing yourself, Alisha and I had YOU in mind!

We just got back from our fourth poolside retreat as a team, and it was everything we didn’t know we needed! Me and the 12 women who make this business tick laughed until we cried, dove deep into vision, strategy, and soul. There were moments when even the hotel guests couldn’t believe we were technically there "for work!" This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at how we structured our retreat, what we learned, what surprised us, and how you can create something similar, whether you have a team or you’re flying solo right now. And you won’t just hear from me! In this conversation, my team and I are talking about leadership (the kind you grow into), how we’re clarifying our brand and messaging, and we’re even sharing simple, actionable ideas you can implement to create deeper connections with your team, even virtually.
