The 3 Roles Every Leader Must Do30 Jul 202500:28:51

Send us a text

💼 What’s really your job as a leader?

If you’re overwhelmed, constantly doing, and your team still isn’t performing the way you hoped—this episode is for you.

Most leaders jump straight to results...
But without a clear vision and intentional team development, you're just managing chaos.

In this episode, I break down the 3 essential roles of a leader:
1️⃣ Create and share a vision
2️⃣ Develop your team
3️⃣ Get results (yes, it comes last—and here’s why)

Whether you’re leading a small team or an entire company, this episode will help you stop spinning your wheels and start leading with clarity.

📌 Watch now to make the shift from overworked to effective.

The One Thing All Great Leaders Do (That Most Forget)23 Jul 202500:44:16

Send us a text

He was “the bird lady’s son” growing up, worked in jail, threw a javelin on a national stage, and never planned on being a general manager — but Jason Spalding’s leadership story might just change the way you show up at work. 🐝

“It's always about people.”
That’s the one lesson he carried across rebar, sports, union tables, and the boardroom. And now, he's sharing how humility, inclusion, vulnerability, and evolution form the foundation of what he calls HIVE Leadership.

In this episode, Jason and Kristina dig into the real work of modern leadership—why annual reviews aren’t enough, how trust changes everything, and what bees can teach us about running high-performing teams.

Whether you’re a seasoned leader or just trying to manage your team better, this one will challenge and inspire you.

You Can’t Scale What You Can’t See: The Hidden Leadership Gaps Blocking Your Business Breakthrough16 Jul 202500:27:46

Send us a text

🚨 “It’s not the people. It’s not the process. It’s not even the product. It’s YOU.”

That’s the hard truth Andrew Oxley had to face after burning out in a high-powered career, chasing success but losing himself in the process.

He thought switching jobs would fix the problem — but the problem followed him.
👉 Why? Because the way we lead follows us into every role, every business, every team.

In this episode of the Business Building Blocks Podcast, we talk about:
🔹 Why most leaders are blind to the real reason they’re stuck
🔹 What it actually takes to scale a team and a business
🔹 The ONE question every business owner needs to ask (but usually avoids)

If you’re feeling the pressure to grow but can’t figure out why your systems—or your people—aren’t clicking, this conversation will challenge you in the best way.

Leading Through Change: The Practical and Personal Sides of Change Management09 Jul 202500:27:21

Send us a text

"I broke down after mowing the lawn. Not because I was tired—but because of what it represented."

When I became a single mom, mowing the lawn became one of the most emotionally exhausting tasks of my life. Not because it was hard physically. But because it was new, unfamiliar, and loaded with stress I didn't expect.

Change does that. Even simple things can feel like mountains.

In this episode of the Business Building Blocks Podcast, we unpack:

  • Why most change efforts fail without one crucial step
  • The hidden emotional toll your team faces during transitions
  • And how to lead with empathy, not just execution

This isn’t just about strategy—it’s about support.

If you lead a team, manage a household, or are navigating personal change—this one’s for you.

Accountability with Accompaniment: Why Feedback Alone Isn’t Enough02 Jul 202500:24:26

Send us a text

I brought them in.
I gave the feedback.

I thought it was done. But nothing changed.

Ever felt that? Like you’re repeating the same conversation over and over — and wondering if it’s you?

Here's what I’ve learned:

💬 ‘That’s not accompanied accountability. That’s sink or swim.’

If you’re a leader, parent, coach, or just someone trying to help people grow — this episode is for you.

In real life, feedback isn’t one conversation. It’s walking with someone while they’re still learning.

Maybe the problem isn’t the feedback. Maybe it’s that we expected change without accompaniment.

What Feedback Really Feels Like (and How to Get Better at Receiving it!)25 Jun 202500:26:24

Send us a text

😳 I snapped. I got defensive. And I shut down.
All because of one piece of feedback.

I was further into my career than you’d think. I should’ve handled it better… but my body went into full panic mode.
Not because the feedback was harsh—
…but because of the shame I’d attached to it.

💭 What if feedback doesn’t have to feel like failure?
What if your reaction isn’t a flaw—but a clue?

🎧 Episode 57 is raw, real, and it’s for every high-achiever who’s ever felt wrecked by a single comment.

Is Your Workplace Culture Causing You to Hide Who You Are?18 Jun 202500:34:42

Send us a text

"I got into my first 'dream job.' It was everything I thought I wanted. Big name. Big opportunity. But within a few months, I felt completely drained. I realized—I was hiding who I really was just to survive the culture. I didn’t even know what my core values were back then. All I knew was that something didn’t feel right."

In this episode of the Business Building Blocks Podcast, Jenny Barkan and I dive deep into masking in the workplace—what it is, why we do it, and how it slowly erodes our energy, creativity, and confidence.

We talk about:
✅ The difference between adapting and masking
✅ What to do when your values don't align with your company's culture
✅ How leaders can create spaces for authenticity
✅ Why self-awareness is where it all begins

Whether you're a leader, teammate, or just trying to find where you belong, this conversation is one you won’t want to miss.

From Flaw to Fuel: How My Weakness Became My Super04 Jun 202500:29:36

Send us a text

I used to shrink myself in meetings.
Waited for the perfect moment to speak—
Then didn’t.

Because I thought:
“What if I say the wrong thing?”
“What if I sound too emotional?”
“What if I take up too much space?”

Sound familiar?

Somewhere along the way, many of us were taught to be smaller to be accepted.
To tone it down to be taken seriously.
To lead like someone else.

But what if the version of you that feels like too much
Is exactly what your business, your team, your clients… need?

This week on The Business Building Blocks Podcast, we’re flipping the script.
Because what you’ve been hiding might just be the leadership superpower you’ve been waiting for.

Listen to: From Flaw to Fuel: How My Weakness Became My Superpower
Let’s stop shrinking—and start leading as we are.

🗣️ "We were paying ourselves below the poverty line. I remember my tax filing from like 2002, 2003… we were below the poverty line."

David Brecount, CEO and Co-Founder of US Digital Partners, joined me on the podcast and shared what those early years of business really looked like:

👉🏼 “You live off savings, and you press on. You go out and sell another project, figure out how to do it. Then you sell another project, and figure out how to do that one too.”

We talked about everything from starting with raw perseverance, to raising a family while building a business, to this powerful reminder:

💡 "Leaders need silence. Leaders need white space on the calendar to consider things, digest information, and make decisions."

We also dove into what it really means to lead a team:

🧡 "You have to love your team members. You have to care for these people. This is about loving your neighbor as yourself. That’s it—right there."

If you’re building a business, raising a family, or simply trying to stay aligned with your purpose—this one’s for you.

✨ Cheers to 50! Celebrating Wins, Wisdom & What’s Next ✨

I didn’t start this podcast because I had everything figured out.
I started because I felt called.

Some episodes were recorded in between meetings, others during quiet moments when no one else was around. There were times I wondered if anyone was even listening. But I kept showing up.

🎙️ Now here we are: 50 episodes later.
50 moments of learning, trusting, pivoting, and persevering.
50 opportunities to speak life, encourage leaders, and grow in purpose—even when it wasn’t easy or visible.

If you’ve ever felt like your work is unseen or your progress too slow—this one’s for you.
Because the work that feels hidden is often the work that’s holy.

💛 Thank you for listening. Thank you for walking this journey with me.

🎧 Tune in to Episode 50 now—it’s a heart-to-heart on what it really takes to build something meaningful.

Messy Middles and Values Over Volume30 Apr 202500:30:17

Send us a text

I remember the first time I heard my own voice on a podcast.
Awkward. A little cringey.
But something inside said, “Keep going.”

Because I believed in the power of story. Of conversation. Of showing up—even imperfectly—to serve others through our words.

That’s exactly what this week’s guest, Joe Coleman, helps people do.
He’s the founder of Saint Kolbe Studios, a podcast production agency serving Catholic business owners and solo creators. And he gets it—the nerves, the ideas that never leave the notes app, the desire to sound polished without losing your authenticity.

In this episode, we talk about:
🎙️ Turning a calling into content
🙏 What sets faith-driven podcasts apart
🎧 The behind-the-scenes of good audio
💡 How to launch (or relaunch) your podcast the right way

If you’ve ever felt called to speak, to share, to connect—this episode is your sign.

The Working Genius Myth-Busting Episode16 Apr 202500:44:53

Send us a text

Ever heard someone say:
“Wait… do we really need another personality tool?”
or
“That model puts people in boxes.”
or even
“This just feels like one more thing to manage on my already full plate.”

We’ve heard all the push-back—and we’re talking about it.

This week on the Business Building Blocks Podcast, we’re digging into the real talk about the Working Genius model—we’ll uncover and explain all the myths, pushbacks, and concerns that we’ve heard about the model, it’s development, and it’s uses.

Karyn Macfarlane—coach, Working Genius facilitator, and founder of Supporting Stars—joins me for a powerful convo about how misconceptions about the model are getting in the way of seeing the benefits.

Because it's not just about understanding your Genius.
It's about knowing how to lead, serve, and show up with it.

The Secret to Sustainable Success with Stephanie Donahue, High Performance Coach02 Apr 202500:21:29

The Secret to Sustainable Success 

She Thought She Had to Figure It All Out Alone… Until This Changed Everything. 🎙️

Stephanie Donahue was like so many high-achievers—driven, passionate, and constantly juggling the demands of leadership. But behind the scenes, she felt the weight of it all. The pressure to have the right answers. The struggle to balance work and life. The silent question: Am I doing enough?

Then, something shifted. She discovered the power of coaching—not just as a tool, but as a game-changer for leaders who want more than just success on paper. She found clarity, confidence, and a whole new way to lead—without burning out.

In this episode of Business Building Blocks, Stephanie shares how coaching transformed the way she leads, how it can do the same for you, and why no leader should have to do it alone.

How Your Personal Journey Can Elevate Your Work06 Nov 202400:42:18

Send us a text

Does your personal mission feed into your work? You may have been told to leave your personal life at home or check your problems at the door, but as faith-filled leaders, that’s not what we’re called to do. When we allow our personal vocations, struggles, and accomplishments feed into our work, we can bring our whole selves, which makes us more productive as a team and a business. On this episode, Kristina speaks with Chris Bray, a Catholic musician, speaker, and author. They discuss personal vocations and how that’s impacted their work, how workplace and church culture have an impact on our effectiveness, and how we as lay people and team members can make an impact on leadership. 

 

If you’d like to get in touch with Chris, reach out to him at https://www.chrisbraymusic.com/, on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/chrisbrayofficial, or on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/chrisbraymusic/.

How to Give Feedback So People Know You're Trying to Help02 Oct 202400:22:51

Send us a text

Why does giving feedback feel like conflict? One of the biggest fears about giving feedback is that people are worried about how the other person will react. In this episode I go through three ways, a good way, a better way, and the best way, to make sure that the next time you give feedback, that the person will KNOW that you’re doing it to help them rather than to hurt them!

Do you have any life-changing decisions coming up? We’ve all had moments in our lives where we’ve been at a crossroad. Leave a job to start something new or stay where you are? Sell your home or upgrade? In this episode, Kristina speaks to James Flanagan, Executive Director of Catholic World Mission, a non-profit organization who seeks to bridge the gap between donors and partners to uplift those in spiritual and material poverty. James shares his story and how his prayer life and nudging from the Holy Spirit (and others!) helped him discern several life-changing decisions and has brought him to where he is today!  Enjoy a great conversation and take away some fantastic tidbits that you can integrate into your own life!

You're Going to Suffer, but You're Going To Be Happy About It!18 Sep 202400:24:11

Send us a text

Suffering doesn’t sound like a lot of fun, but as Christians, we’re called to pick our cross and join Jesus. A question that many people ask, myself included, is how do I know if I’m suffering for good or for evil? In this episode I talk about three questions to help with discernment as well as what you can do to help your mindset when you’re scared to walk away from the suffering you know and pick up the cross that God intended you to carry.

Get Better Results from Your Goals!05 Sep 202400:27:30

Send us a text

We all have great intentions, right? If that’s true, then why do we forget them all the time? So many times when we set goals or implement a new policy or procedure, we get so focused on executing exactly what we’ve planned, and we forget why we decided to do it in the first place. While we like to think that goals and procedures are based on scientific data, specifically chosen to solve the exact problem we had, they’re not. They’re an experiment in a potential solution. They may be an educated experiment, but they’re still a wildly out of control experiment because we can’t control many of the variables. In this episode, we explore how keeping our intent front of mind will help control our uncontrollable experiments in life and at work.

Two Essential Rules for Teams28 Aug 202400:20:27

When it comes to working in a team, whether it be a work team, a team of volunteers, or your home team (aka your family), the better the team functions, the better results you get. There can be a lot of complexities with teams because you have multiple people who have unique ideas, plans, and backgrounds, but there are two essential rules that must be followed to have an effective team. In this week’s episode, we’re taking some leadership advice from the Bible. I’m reflecting on Ephesians 5:21-32 and the advice that St. Paul regarding roles and responsibilities of leaders and teams.

It’s THE best form of development for your team – at work and at home. On this episode Kristina will walk through three common reasons that people don’t delegate and three ways you can overcome them.
