    We Answered Your Spiciest Business Questions! 👀 Q&A
    Jun 14 2026
    It's Q&A time again, and this one got spicy. Today we're answering the questions you actually sent us: the Australian government's new small business taxes, how to know if your content is working, what we'd do differently if we started the gym again, and yes, how a strippers agency could run a sales event (you read that right). We also get into the real cost of hiring the wrong sales person, why going viral doesn't always mean making more money, and what it's like navigating IVF as a couple in business together. You'll hear: 0:00 - The new Australian government taxes on small business and how much we've saved since leaving 5:38 - Is the era of easy coaching businesses over? 10:09 - If we were starting the gym over again today, what would we do differently? 14:01 - Should you care about viral content or just focus on conversions? 18:27 - The most powerful way to use AI to grow your business (controversial take) 21:57 - The most common objections on sales calls right now and how to overcome them 27:33 - How any business can run a sales event (including a strippers agency) 33:03 - Navigating fertility and IVF as the male partner If you're a service business owner and you're tired of relying on referrals to keep your calendar full, go to startsuccessschool.com and book a free Scale Session with our team.

  • How to Survive in Business With Your Partner

    How to Survive in Business With Your Partner
    Jun 7 2026
    We've been in business together for 8 years, and married through all of it. In this episode we're pulling back the curtain on the stuff most couples never admit: the screaming matches, the money wars, the night in Bali that changed everything for us, and the health scare that nearly ended it all. Here's what we get into: The New Year's Eve in Bali, and the plant medicine trip, that broke down 4 years of distrust in a single conversation. "That's MY money" — the brutal money fight that nearly split us, and where it really came from. How we watched overwork turn into an autoimmune disease, until Steph woke up one morning unable to feel her own body. Too many chefs in the kitchen — why two alphas in one business is a recipe for disaster. The "girl boss" movement, the ego, and the quiet distrust it planted in our marriage. The jockey and the horse: the concept that changed how we pick what to build. Why giving your partner feedback can blow up your business, and the rules we live by now. If you're in business with your partner, or thinking about it, this is the episode for you. And if you're a service business owner and you're tired of relying on referrals to keep your calendar full, go to startsuccessschool.com and book a free Scale Session with our team. We'll look at your business, show you exactly where the gaps are, and map out what a fully booked pipeline looks like for you specifically.
