About this listen

Are you spending money, or investing in your future? Is that software subscription draining your budget, or driving your growth? And when was the last time you hired help that actually helped?

If you've ever wrestled with the guilt of outsourcing or hesitated to spend on support, this episode is your permission slip to think differently.

In this episode of Brand Bank Build, CFO Karen Stephen and CMO Terra Milo break down the mindset shift that transforms expenses into strategic investments. From hiring a podcast editor to outsourcing marketing and bookkeeping, they share real-life examples that prove smart spending isn't just about saving time; it's about building momentum.

Karen offers her financial lens on ROI and long-term planning, while Terra shares personal stories about delegation, clarity, and reclaiming energy. Whether you're a solopreneur or scaling a team, this episode will help you align your budget with your brand and your goals.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why hiring help is a growth strategy, not a luxury
  • How to shift from scarcity thinking to strategic investing
  • The surprising ROI of hiring a house cleaner
  • How to audit your subscriptions for real value
