| 81 Lisa Levy: You’re Not Bad at Delegating… You’re Attached to the Wrong Formula | 16 Jun 2026 | 00:30:59 | |
In this guest episode, Bonnie sits down with Lisa Levy, founder of L-Cubed Consulting, to talk about what it really takes to scale a business without becoming the bottleneck. Lisa shares her “people + process… then technology” formula for sustainable growth, why most AI investments miss the mark without intention, and how delegation gets easier when you stop trying to muscle through it and instead build an operating system that holds up.

| 80 Brittany Drozd: The “20 Percent Off Your Plate” Hiring Audit | 14 Jun 2026 | 00:30:33 | |
What happens when you build a business with your spouse... and you both want to be in charge? In this episode, Brittany Drozd breaks down the real keys to making it work: role clarity, swim lanes, weekly leadership meetings, and how a simple contract can protect your relationship and your business. We also get into a practical “capacity audit” you can use with any team member: identify what’s not getting done, what’s stealing weekends, and what they wish they could stop doing. That list becomes the start of your next job description... and a smarter way to grow without burning people out. If you’re delegating for the first time (or recovering from a hire that went sideways), Brittany shares a trust-building framework that expands responsibility without micromanagement... plus a reminder every founder needs: there’s no playbook, so stop trying to do it all alone.

| 79 Ashley Dodge: Delegation Isn’t Always a Hire… Sometimes It’s Automation | 07 Jun 2026 | 00:26:51 | |
Ashley Dodge is the founder of Some Startup in Colorado, a marketing consultancy for founders, authors, speakers, and creatives building something meaningful. In this episode, Ashley and Bonnie get real about what delegation can look like when you’re a solopreneur, especially when you’ve been burned before. They dig into a concept Bonnie calls a “first” on the show… delegating temporarily. Think: bring in a pro to set something up, clean it up, create the system, then dip out once you can run with it. Ashley also shares why visibility matters more than most founders realize, including the “old website copy” problem (yep, Google still thinks you do that thing you stopped doing years ago). Then we go practical with tools and automation, including a Calendly workflow nugget that can save serious time and reduce email back-and-forth.

| 77 Jenn Adamson: Success Shouldn’t Cost Your Soul, Leading From Ease Instead of Exhaustion | 24 May 2026 | 00:28:53 | |
Jenn Adamson is an executive wellness expert, registered nurse, TEDx speaker, and bestselling author who helps high-achieving leaders enjoy their success without losing their edge. In this conversation, Jenn and Bonnie unpack the difference between high functioning and high performing …and why so many leaders look “fine” on paper while privately running on chronic stress. Jenn explains how chronic stress chips away at decision-making, drives down innovation, and can even lead to talent loss. She shares a powerful healthcare analogy (code blue) to show why acute stress is survivable, but chronic stress is costly. They also talk about the “real” delegation conversation …why we resist help, what self-worth has to do with receiving support, and how entrepreneurs can focus on revenue-generating activities instead of hiding in busywork. If you’re carrying too much, doing it all “because it’s faster,” and feeling that stress show up in your body and brain …this one will land.

Chris shares his “next three hires” framework (yes, even if you’re not hiring yet), plus the operating cadence that makes fractional partners feel like real teammates, not vendors.

Bonnie welcomes Lisa Glenn-Nobles, CEO and principal of LGN Collab, for a candid conversation about operations, delegation, and how to build people-centered systems that support sustainable growth. Lisa shares her accidental entrepreneur story, why she still loves being “number two,” and how that mindset shaped her work as an operations consultant and fractional COO. They dig into one of the biggest founder pain points: knowing whether you need a fractional COO, an EA, or another type of support altogether. Lisa explains that a fractional COO is the right fit when a founder needs a strategic partner who can make decisions, create structure, and help guide hiring strategy, not just take tasks. Bonnie adds real-world perspective from her own background in executive support and delegation. The conversation also explores why so many hires fail before they even begin. Lisa explains that when leaders bring someone in without clear systems, documentation, and expectations, the issue usually is not the person... it is the lack of clarity around the role. Bonnie and Lisa also talk about adapting to communication preferences, the role of emotional intelligence, and how AI can help support pros better match voice and tone. They wrap by talking about growth, network power, and the value of knowing when to bring in a strategist first, then hand off to an EA or other support person once the structure is in place.

| 88 Rebeccah Silence: What Emotional Healing Has to Do with Delegation | 26 Jul 2026 | 00:28:24 | |
In this episode, Bonnie sits down with Rebeccah Silence, emotional healing expert, generational trauma specialist, and founder of The Unsilent Woman, to talk about something most business owners do not connect to delegation nearly enough: emotional healing. Together, they unpack how old survival patterns can quietly shape the way we lead, communicate, hire, outsource, and trust others with our business. Rebeccah shares why delegation struggles are not always about systems or time management. Sometimes, they are rooted in fear, control, disappointment, boundary issues, or past experiences that still live under the surface. They also dig into what it means to lead from a healed place instead of from fight, flight, or freeze, how to recognize when someone is not the right fit, and why love may be one of the most underrated secret weapons in leadership. This conversation is for founders, service providers, and high-achieving women who are ready to lead with more peace, clarity, and confidence without gripping the steering wheel so hard. #Productivity, #Delegation, #Leadership, #Entrepreneurship, #ServiceProviders, #Boundaries, #EmotionalHealing, #WomenInBusiness Rebeccah Silence, MT-BC, MS | LinkedIn Rebeccah Silence – Healing Is Possible Find us on: D2EGSD Website: Keywords:
