About this listen

Let's be honest: building a company from nothing is freaking hard. It has been for me. I grew my company Accelity from 0 to 7 figures with no partners and no funding. I'm also a startup mentor, a speaker, and a dedicated mother of three. Welcome to The Art of Entrepreneurship podcast—I’m your host, Jackie Hermes. Listen in as I share all the mistakes I’ve made and, more importantly, what I’ve learned from them, with no fluff, and no rose-colored glasses. The Art of Entrepreneurship is a show where we cut through the BS and dig into what it actually takes to start and grow a business. I’ll be giving unfiltered advice 1 episode per week, up to 20 minute per episode. I want you to walk away from this podcast with the mindset and tools you need to be successful. This podcast is for entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and busy professionals with a short attention span (like me)—you’ll get quick-hitting, actionable information in every single episode. If you give me your time, I promise it won't be wasted. Now let's get to work!Copyright 2025 Jackie Hermes Economics Leadership Management & Leadership Marketing Marketing & Sales

  • Your brain lies to you w/ Bizzie Gold, mental health innovator and behavior expert
    Oct 28 2025

    This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for leaders who know self-awareness matters—but still find themselves repeating the same patterns.

    My guest is Bizzie Gold, an innovator and disruptor in the field of mental health. Bizzie and I discuss why our brains “lie,” the idea that there are three sides to every story, and how perception filters shape what leaders see, say and do.

    Tune in for practical insights on spotting self-deception, aligning roles to how people actually think, and taking the first steps to rewire unhelpful habits so you can lead with clarity—not just willpower.

    About Bizzie Gold

    Bizzie Gold is a tech founder, behavior futurist, and industry disruptor who invented Brain Pattern Mapping—a behavior and thought prediction technology proven to be 98.3% accurate. Her proprietary system decodes the subconscious patterns that drive human perception and decision-making, providing a revolutionary alternative to traditional mental health models.

    She is also the #1 best-selling author in Neuropsychology for her book, Your Brain is a Filthy Liar, which exposes the hidden mechanisms that keep people stuck in cycles of sabotage, conflict, and emotional chaos. Gold’s work fuses data science, neuropsychology, and pattern recognition to deliver sustainable rewiring at scale—without the emotional or financial codependency of therapy.

  • The problem with chasing the “visionary founder” myth
    Oct 7 2025

    This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone who’s been told they need to be a “visionary founder”—but knows execution is where the real work happens.

    Today I'm talking about why being visionary without execution is wasted potential, the unsexy truth of entrepreneurship, and the habits that keep founders chasing shiny new things instead of finishing what they start.

    Tune in to learn how to shrink your vision into daily actions, build accountability rhythms, and measure progress—not motion—so you can actually deliver on your ideas.
