About Luisa Cunha: She is a therapist and she specializes in Aromatherapy. She gives training with Aromatherapy for all women who want to find their physical, emotional, and spiritual balance through essential oils. 

In this episode, Jennie and Luisa discuss:

• Developing new skills by learning from others
• All businesses have bad days
• What to do when you feel like giving up
• Business that transcends just you
   

Key Takeaways:

• Learn from other entrepreneurs, get out of your comfort zone and expose yourself to, practice, and learn one of people’s top fears: public speaking.
• All businesses have bad days. It’s important to keep going, keep your focus, and be positive, especially on those days. Know that those days give us perspective and build strength.
• When you feel like giving up, take some time for self-care. Drink some wine, take a bath, and relax. Talk about it tomorrow.
• We have to keep going if we want to help people more. If we go out of business, there’s a bunch of people that are not going to get the help that we’re going to provide.

"We can grow as entrepreneurs, we win and we give to others too. It’s a giver’s game." —  Luisa Cunha

What if 100,000 downloads were just the foundation, not the finish line? In this milestone episode, you’ll hear the real story behind a #1 network marketing podcast, the BDSM framework that built it, and how to use the same momentum-building principles to grow your own business.

In this episode, Jennie discusses:

• Origin story of the Badass Direct Sales Mastery podcast
• Overcoming fear and starting without a perfect plan
• Listener stories, client journeys, and real-world impact
• The BDSM framework: Business mindset, Discipline, Sales, Mentorship
• 100,000 downloads, legacy, and the 100k Gifts Page

Key Takeaways:

• You can’t build momentum in your business if you’re standing still; progress demands action, even when the plan isn’t perfect.
• Treating your direct sales or network marketing business like a real business, not a hobby or “side gig”, changes how you show up and what results you create.
• Consistency and discipline, not motivation, are what carry a long-term content platform through the hard days and into meaningful milestones.
• A podcast or platform can function as a powerful ecosystem—driving sales, nurturing relationships, attracting clients, and creating referral and JV opportunities.
• Mentorship (giving and receiving) accelerates growth, and every authentic conversation can leave success “clues” that reshape how you sell, lead, and build.

"100,000 downloads isn't my accomplishment; it's ours." — Jennie Bellinger

•   
  Key Takeaways:

  • There are a lot of people who have negative views about network marketing and the best way to enlighten them about the good things about this business is not through argument, but through your actions - by continuing to help people and by succeeding together. 
  • Whatever it is you are passionate about or gets you up in the morning, integrate that into your business. This will make your work more fun, motivating, and life-giving. 
  • To take courage means to first experience fear. Out of that courage will you be able to build your confidence.

• Business automation systems, how to attract people gain their attention, and hook them in.

Most professionals are unknowingly sabotaging their LinkedIn results with profile mistakes and weak content. Find out how to fix both so your ideal clients come to you ready to talk.

In this episode, Jennie and Luke Sutton discuss:

• LinkedIn as a professional relationship-building platform
• Common profile mistakes and benefits-focused positioning
• Structuring high-converting LinkedIn posts and hooks
• Effective calls to action and lead magnets
• Authentic, trust-building communication in DMs and sales

Key Takeaways:

• LinkedIn works best when treated as a professional relationship-building platform, not just another social network.
• Profiles that lead with clear benefits instead of titles and credentials are far more likely to attract interest and clicks.
• Strong LinkedIn posts start with a scroll-stopping hook, tell a relatable story, and end with a strategic call to action.
• Direct messages should focus on genuine curiosity about the other person, building trust before ever mentioning an offer.
• The energy behind your communication—authenticity, sincerity, and a true desire to help—is what people actually feel and respond to.

"No matter how you're communicating with people, people also smell desperation." — Luke Sutton

Discover how a former C-suite finance leader scaled a home services business from $1.8M to over $4M by putting people first and learning to let go. In this episode, you’ll hear a practical framework for leadership that turns “volunteer” teams and employees into loyal, high-performing advocates for your business.

In this episode, Jennie and Todd Krause discuss:

• Journey from CPA and finance to leadership and entrepreneurship
• Why caring cultures drive retention, reviews, and referrals
• The business math behind employee engagement and profits
• The three pillars of a thriving workplace: caring, positivity, and cultural competence
• The LEAD framework: Let Go, Empower, Align, Develop

Key Takeaways:

• Sustainable growth comes from unlocking the untapped potential in the people who work with and for you, not just from technology or tools.
• When employees stay longer, care more, and work with fewer mistakes, operating expenses drop while revenue and profits rise.
• Culture is built by flipping the script from “rules and consequences” to clearly stating what you want and rewarding behaviors that deliver for your clients.
• Effective leaders must learn to let go of tasks, empower others, and align them with clear goals so they can make good decisions independently.
• Developing future leaders happens in everyday conversations just as much as in formal training rooms—every discussion about how and why a decision was made is leadership development.

"If I can't do it all myself, I need help. I have to let go of things and give it to other people, so they can do it, because if I can no longer get my arms around everything, then things either fall through the cracks and stop getting done, or I'm self-limiting in how far I can go with my business." - Todd Krause

About Todd Krause:

Todd A. Krause is the owner of The Cleaning Authority – Fishers, where he grew the business from $1.8M to over $4.0M in revenue while building a diverse, high-performing team and an award-winning workplace culture. A CPA and MBA with decades of leadership experience across finance, banking, and entrepreneurship, Todd has helped grow organizations ranging from startups to multi-billion-dollar enterprises.

Today, Todd is the founder of Silversun Consulting, where he works with home-service business owners to solve the growth challenges that keep companies stuck. His work focuses on building strong leadership, effective systems, and thriving workplace cultures that allow businesses to scale without chaos, burnout, or owner dependence.

From a breakup on December 30, 1999, to commanding the room with unapologetic confidence—this episode is your invitation to rewrite the story of your power.

In this episode, Jennie discusses:

• Breaking free from emotional and verbal abuse
• Redefining assertiveness and DOM power
• Societal conditioning and barriers to women’s power
• Language, labels, and how women undermine their authority
• Guided visualization to step into personal power

Key Takeaways:

• You can choose not to believe the limiting stories and labels others have placed on you, no matter how long you’ve carried them.
• Assertiveness rooted in respect—moving forward on purpose with others in mind—is a powerful and ethical way to lead.
• Societal conditioning, media narratives, beauty standards, and workplace bias all subtly push women away from their own authority and leadership.
• Everyday language like “I’m just…” and constant apologizing chips away at confidence and reinforces a smaller version of yourself.
• Embodied practices like guided visualization help you literally step into a more powerful identity and carry that energy into your life and business.

"You are powerful. You are unstoppable." —  Jennie Bellinger

In this episode, Jennie discusses:

• The difference between a “yes” and a “hell yes”
• Saying “hell yes” to your dreams
• How saying “hell yes” can affect your life and career
• Commitment, confidence, and passion

Key Takeaways:

• Let your “hell yes” be louder than your fears and doubts
• Start by saying hell yes - going all in - to your dreams, your family, and yourself
• You need to know what’s going to make people say “hell yes”. A timid yes can become a hell yes, and it starts with you
• Confidence in yourself is what makes you badass enough to get a “hell yes”

"Are you someone that you would say ‘hell yes’ to? If not, why not? Don’t let fear being seen as ‘talky’ hold you back. People prefer confidence." —  Jennie Bellinger

Afraid to reach out to the people who could most transform your business? In this episode, discover how to flip your “chicken list” into a confident “rooster list” using a simple 3-step framework that feels authentic, not salesy.

In this episode, Jennie Bellinger discusses:

• The real cost of avoiding your chicken list
• Reframing the “chicken list” into a “rooster list”
• Why sales feel salesy (and how to fix it)
• The 3-step connection–curiosity–consent framework
• Building confidence through action and personalized outreach

Key Takeaways:

• Avoiding your “chicken list” doesn’t protect relationships; it protects your ego and quietly costs you growth, connection, and income.
• Sales feels salesy when you lead with a pitch instead of a person, hide a secret agenda, or rely on copy-and-paste scripts that don’t sound like you.
• A simple structure—connection, curiosity, and consent—can turn awkward outreach into genuine, human conversations that people actually welcome.
• Inviting someone into a conversation (“Would you be open…?”) removes much of the pressure and shifts your energy from desperate to confident and intentional.
• Confidence is built far more by taking imperfect action with one person on your list than by endlessly overthinking what to say.

"Here's the truth. You don't sound salesy because you're a network marketer; you sound salesy because you don't have a strategy that actually fits you." — Jennie Bellinger

In this episode, Jennie and Patrick M. Powers discuss:

• Early failures, bankruptcy, and entry into network marketing
• Overcoming shyness, bullying, and a lack of sales skills
• Leadership vs. promotion in network marketing
• Developing teams through responsibility and comfort-zone expansion
• Logistics, adversity, and refocusing teams on vision

Key Takeaways:

• Long-term success in network marketing is less about finding the “perfect” company and more about committing to learning, being coached, and persisting through multiple attempts and failures.
• Leadership and promotion are fundamentally different skills; you can promote your way to a few thousand a month, but genuine freedom and scale only come from learning how to lead people.
• One of the core jobs of a leader is to constantly redirect people’s focus from problems and setbacks back to the bigger vision and desired outcomes.
• Helping team members grow means intentionally and repeatedly nudging them just beyond their comfort zones, then praising and reinforcing their efforts so fear gets rewired into confidence.
• You cannot effectively lead from a place of victimhood; taking radical responsibility for your results and your reactions is a non-negotiable foundation for influence and team building.

"I'm going to make this happen. I'm the creator of my destiny. Do not get into victimhood. The moment you fall into victimhood, you cannot lead." - Patrick M. Powers

About Patrick M. Powers:

Patrick M. Powers is a speaker, performance coach, influence expert, and video marketing strategist who helps leaders communicate with calm confidence and true authority. After going bankrupt in his early 20s, battling crippling shyness, and struggling through multiple failed business attempts, he went on to build a network marketing organization of 10,000 people and speak to live audiences of up to 7,000.

He is the founder of Entrepreneurs in London, the world’s second-largest business meetup community with nearly 30,000 members, and a 4x author whose work centers on practical, field-tested leadership and communication strategies. Patrick has been featured on the BBC (three times), Forbes, and major podcasts, including Entrepreneurs on Fire.

Today, through his High Impact Method and resources like the Team Builder Blueprint, he trains network marketers and entrepreneurs to build belief, lead teams that truly duplicate, and show up powerfully on stage, on camera, and in high-stakes conversations.
