  • Why Firing the Wrong Person, the Right Way, Is A Profitable Decision

    Why Firing the Wrong Person, the Right Way, Is A Profitable Decision
    Jan 27 2026

    If you’ve got a boat anchor on your team—a toxic, lazy, drama-fueled paycheck collector—this episode is your intervention. Because the biggest mistake I see owners make is firing emotionally instead of strategically… and that’s how you end up in legal hell, getting dragged in reviews, and watching your team spiral into gossip and distrust.

    Here’s the move: stop winging it. Get legal/HR eyes on it, and when it’s time, terminate cleanly.

  • Face Card Never Declines: The ROI of Looking Like You Run Sh*t!

    Face Card Never Declines: The ROI of Looking Like You Run Sh*t!
    Jan 20 2026

    Lise is in no-messy-bun mode this month, making the case that “vanity” is about to have a rebrand in 2026: not ego, not insecurity, not “trying too hard,” but self-respect made visible—and a strategic lever for anyone selling confidence for a living. She breaks down how fast first impressions are formed, why “looking like you already won” changes how you’re received, and what polish signals to patients before you ever talk credentials.

    If you run a practice (or manage a team), this episode is a shot of cold water about standards: what your staff’s presentation communicates, why consistency matters, and how your offline presence needs to match your online brand. It’s direct, spicy, and designed to be replayed in the breakroom—if your breakroom can handle Lise’s vocabulary.

  • WHY NOT YOU? Stepping Into your Expert Era in 2026

    WHY NOT YOU? Stepping Into your Expert Era in 2026
    Jan 13 2026

    Lise kicks off 2026 with a challenge that’s less “new year, new you” and more “same you, higher standard.” This episode is about expert energy—how to show up calm, decisive, and trustworthy, especially in the moments where you’re tempted to hedge, overexplain, or offer a dozen options just to avoid hearing “no.” She reframes sales as leadership, makes a case for raising one non-negotiable standard, and lays out a handful of practical shifts designed to move you from capable to undeniable—without burnout, without theatrics, and without apologizing for what you already know.
