Want to land more brand collaborations, podcast opportunities, UGC deals or business partnerships? Start by actually asking.

In this solo episode, Taylor breaks down how she approaches pitching brands and people and how simply putting herself out there has led to paid UGC collaborations, brand partnerships and podcast guests she once thought were out of reach.

How do you negotiate better brand deals, communicate your value and turn a gifted collaboration into paid work?

This episode was a most loved moment from my conversation with Liang-zi Grover who is a talent manager and founder of Possee Creative.

What does it actually take to scale a coaching business without sacrificing your health, relationships or freedom in the process?

In this episode I sat down with business coach and founder Sofia Bernardi to unpack what has happened behind the scenes as she has grown from six figures in her first year to building a multi-million-dollar coaching business.

Sofia shares the limiting belief that was quietly restricting her growth, why scaling required both mindset and commercial strategy, and how she built a simpler business model around sustainable marketing, seamless sales and effective systems.

Todays episode was with Christina Pengilly one of my besties, and was an honest conversation about building a non-traditional career, stepping away from the coaching industry, and creating a life and personal brand that feels genuinely aligned.

Christina shares her journey from studying psychology to entering the online coaching space, building a successful multi-six-figure coaching business, and eventually deciding to walk away when success on paper no longer felt right. Together, Taylor and Christina unpack the reality of the coaching industry, the blurred lines between mentorship, community and pressure, and what it looks like to rebuild your identity after outgrowing a business.

They also dive into friendship in adulthood, building community through social media, growing a personal brand, and Christina’s practical advice for creating content consistently, finding your content pillars, using Instagram stories intentionally, and becoming known for your own unique style online.

A very raw and honest share of my full birth story. From prodromal labour, waters breaking with meconium, hospital labour, asking for an epidural, being wheeled into theatre for a possible emergency C-section, and ultimately having an empowered vaginal birth with vacuum assistance.

Taylor also opens up about preparing for postpartum, navigating a birth that didn’t go to plan, the role of her doula and partner support, and why birth can still feel empowering even when it looks nothing like what you imagined.

In this Most Loved Moment Lexie Murray shares the blueprint behind her social media agency Be Seen. From building demand through personal brand to creating a team structure that allows the agency to deliver at scale.

Lexie breaks down why Be Seen no longer sees other agencies as its main competition, how their content-first team model works and the roles that support each client behind the scenes.

This moment is for agency owners, service providers and founders who want to understand what it really takes to scale beyond the founder while protecting quality, client results and team culture.

Most business owners focus on increasing revenue, but very few know how to actually turn business success into long-term wealth.

In this episode I sat down with buyer’s agent and founder of SRAMA, Matt Srama, to unpack the strategies entrepreneurs are using to build wealth outside of their business through property, leverage, smart finance structures and buying back their time.

We discuss:

• The biggest money mistakes entrepreneurs make
• Why business income alone doesn’t equal wealth
• Using property to create long-term financial security
• The power of mentors, proximity & “getting into new rooms”
• When outsourcing actually becomes profitable
• Building your personal “wealth team”
• Burnout, energy management & why health is wealth
• The mindset shift from operator to investor

This is an episode from my interview with Tash Invests on her podcast, Get Rich Slow. I break down the real story behind building a high-profit business in my 20s, from freelancing and early six-figure growth to property investing, scaling sustainably, and preparing for motherhood as a founder.

We cover:

• how I grew from social media freelancing into a multi-six-figure consulting business
• the realities of scaling without a massive team
• profit vs revenue and why high turnover means nothing without margins
• buying and renovating an investment property with a guarantor loan
• managing money anxiety and building financial safety as a business owner
• outsourcing, systems, and creating a business that supports your life
• navigating pregnancy, maternity leave, and entrepreneurship at the same time

This episode is a raw conversation around money, business growth, emotional responsibility, and building a business that actually supports the life you want, not just one that looks successful online.

In this episode, I break down the real operational, financial and strategic shifts she implemented before entering postpartum. From batching content and forecasting revenue to improving SOPs, outsourcing, reducing bottlenecks and building a cash buffer.

Inside the episode:

• How Taylor batch filmed months of podcast and marketing content
• Why contracted revenue became a major priority before maternity leave
• The systems and SOP changes that reduced operational pressure
• Training team members and outsourcing strategically
• Identifying low-energy, high-profit revenue streams
• Building a healthier cash buffer before postpartum
• Removing founder bottlenecks that stop businesses from scaling

In this episode I sit down with Tobi Pearce, co-founder of Sweat, one of the worlds most successful fitness apps, which went on to sell in a deal valued over $400M.

But this isn’t a conversation about headlines. It’s a deep dive into what actually creates business value and why most founders misunderstand what an “exit” really means.

From scaling Sweat in just a few years to deliberately designing a business to be sellable, Tobi breaks down the strategic decisions behind building an asset… not just an income.

Inside this episode:

• Why most business exits are inefficient, overhyped, or poorly structured
• How to design your business to become a valuable, sellable asset
• The truth about valuations (and why they can swing dramatically)
• Why subscription models, structure, and risk reduction increase value
• The difference between owning, investing in, and acquiring businesses
• What founders get wrong about cash flow vs. capital growth
• Why selling your business doesn’t always create the lifestyle you expect 

If you’re building a business and thinking about long-term wealth (not just short-term revenue) this episode will change how you approach growth, strategy, and exits.

Most Loved Moment with Daine McDonald founder of Clean Health Institution. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but still not getting the results… this episode will challenge that.

Because success in business isn’t just about strategy. And it’s definitely not about doing more.

In this conversation, we break down what actually determines whether someone succeeds or not, from the very beginning.

Not theories. Not motivation. Real patterns from someone who took 14 years to build an 8-figure business. 

Inside this episode:

• The 3 traits that predict long-term success (and why most people don’t have them)
• Why passion alone isn’t enough without product-market fit
• The role of ego in slowing your growth
• What “skill stacking” actually looks like in 2026
• Why most people quit before anything starts working
• The truth about failure (and why avoiding it is costing you)

This isn’t about quick wins. It’s about who you need to become to actually build something that lasts.

If you’ve ever wondered how pregnancy actually fits into building a business, this is the conversation most people avoid having honestly.

In this episode, I sit down with Liang-zi Grover, founder of boutique talent agency Possee Creative, to unpack what it really looked like navigating her pregnancy & postpartum less than a year into starting her business.

We go beyond surface level advice and into the decisions, pressure and structure required to make both work.

We cover:
– What a talent manager actually does (and why negotiation is where most creators lose money)
– How to approach brand deals starting from value, not deliverables
– The exact moment she found out she was pregnant… and what shifted immediately
– Why asking for help is the skill most founders avoid and regret
– How your business doesn’t stop, but how you show up will change
– Financial planning, retainers, and building a buffer before stepping back
– Letting go of judgment and accepting that two emotions can coexist

In this episode, I’m walking you through the exact weekly structure I use as a founder, so I can grow my business without constantly feeling 'on'.

Because when you work for yourself, no one is setting your hours. And if you don’t build that structure intentionally, burnout becomes the default.

Inside this episode:

• What my week actually looks like (CEO days, client blocks, overflow time)
• Why I batch my calls instead of spreading them across the day
• The 'close loops' hour that helps me properly switch off
• How I think about capacity (and why most people underestimate it)
• Structuring my work around my energy, not just my calendar
• Boundaries with clients and protecting your time

This isn’t about doing less. It’s about building a week that can actually support the business you’re growing.

In this episode, Tash breaks down exactly how she approached buying our first investment property and the thinking behind every decision.

In this episode, I sit down with Lexie Murray, founder of Be Seen Socials, to unpack what it actually takes to build and sustain a social media agency long-term.

We go deep on what most people get wrong about agencies:
– Why her real competition isn’t other agencies
– The hire that completely changed the trajectory of Lexie’s company
– How to know when you’re actually ready to pay a team salary
– Why her team performance isn’t about revenue (and what she measures instead)
– What strong team culture actually looks like in practice

We also talk about the personal side of business, burnout, pressure to grow and relationships influencing success.

You didn’t start your business to recreate a salary. But that’s exactly what most founders are doing, without even realising it.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the actual cost of running a service-based business… and where your pricing is quietly working against you. Because it’s not just about what you “want to charge.” It’s about what your business requires to operate sustainably.

Money is one of the most emotionally charged topics in business , especially when your income isn’t consistent. In this episode I sit down with Natasha Etschmann (or tashinvests on Instagram) to unpack how founders can actually use their business as a vehicle to build long-term wealth.

Natasha shares her journey from working as a support worker to building a personal brand, becoming a licensed financial adviser and accumulating over $300K in shares as well as owning multiple properties.

We break down the real financial decisions business owners face, from managing irregular income, building financial buffers, investing in property vs shares and how to start treating your business like a genuine asset.

We also explore the mindset side of money: why wealth conversations trigger people online, how financial stress affects decision making, and why ambition around money shouldn’t be demonised.

In this mini episode, I break down with my friend and YouTuber, Sophie Jayne Miller, how to sell on social media in a way that actually converts. We talk about why your audience must come first, how to lead with value before monetising, what it means to “sell without selling,” and why alignment matters more than a quick five-figure deal.

In this episode, I’m sharing how I’m actually feeling about becoming a first-time mum while running a business. I talk about feeling unprepared, questioning the timing, navigating resentment and guilt, and what it means to be an ambitious woman who contributes 50/50 in her relationship while stepping into motherhood. This wasn’t a planned pregnancy, and some days I feel grounded… and other days I’m absolutely not. If you’re navigating business, identity and a huge life shift all at once, this one is real.

In this episode, I am breaking down my actual net worth at 24 (combined with my 27 year old partner), including exactly what I own, what I owe, and how that translates into a real net worth number.

I cover cash, business cash, property equity, superannuation, car loans, business valuation, and why revenue and net worth are completely different things.

This episode will give you a clear understanding of how net worth works, what counts as an asset, what counts as a liability, and why most business owners focus on the wrong numbers.

If you are building a business, your net worth is one of the most important financial metrics to understand, because it reflects ownership, not just income.

In this episode Taylor breaks down a truth more founders need to hear: more revenue doesn’t automatically mean more success (or more profit).

This conversation explores what doubling your revenue actually costs, from time and energy to margins and lifestyle, and why chasing bigger numbers without intention often leads to burnout, not freedom.

Taylor unpacks the difference between revenue, cash flow, and profit, why protecting your margins matters more than scaling fast, and how to think more clearly about the purpose behind your business. She also shares why working with intention (not hustle!) is what creates sustainable growth.

They unpack why realness beats perfection, how Sophie’s become more intentional with what she shares, and how she uses social media as a platform to sell without overselling. This conversation explores the long game of content, community and brand building, and why nurturing your audience before ever asking for the sale is what creates lasting success.

If you’re early in business and feel like no one is taking you seriously yet, this episode is for you.

In this conversation with Cade Robertson, we break down the real lessons that actually move the needle in business: partnerships, collaboration, networking, rejection, and how to become someone people want to work with, even before you have a following.

Inside the episode, we cover:

• how to leverage collaboration by giving before you take

• why doing things for free early on isn’t weakness, it’s strategy

• how to network when you’re just starting and no one knows your name

• the uncomfortable truth about credibility, visibility, and being taken seriously

• why fear of rejection is usually insecurity and how to flip it into confidence

Today’s episode is a raw and honest conversation with one of my client Charlotte McKinnon. We unpack what radical self-responsibility actually looks like when you’re building a career, a business, and a life you’re proud of.

Charlotte shares her full journey: from nursing, living pay-to-pay, struggling with confidence and direction, to rebuilding her business from the ground up and creating consistent $20K+ months, clarity, and calm. This isn’t a highlight reel. It’s the real work behind the scenes.

Inside this episode, we talk about:

• why the hardest thing you’ll ever have to manage in business is yourself
• what radical responsibility looks like when things aren’t working
• how structure, systems, and identity shifts change everything
• why bigger doesn’t always mean more profitable
• the difference between confidence and conviction
• investing in support when it’s uncomfortable (and why it matters)
• stopping the cycle of treating your goals like an option

This episode is for you if you’re tired of blaming the algorithm, the timing, the industry, or your circumstances and you’re ready to take ownership of where you’re at and where you’re going next.

No hype. No shortcuts. Just the truth:
If you want your life and business to change, you have to decide to show up differently.

This is a behind-the-scenes breakdown of how Strategic Haus came to be and the decisions, missteps, and rebuilds that shaped the business it is today.

In this solo episode, I walk through my career journey honestly: from growing up in a family of business owners, to launching my own consultancy, burning it down, and rebuilding it with intention, strategy, and sustainability at the centre.

You’ll hear how I’ve learned to scale my time, not just revenue, why bigger doesn’t always mean more profitable and why I don’t believe in building businesses that cost you your life to run.

This episode is for service-based business owners who are building seriously, thinking long-term, and ready to question how they want to do business, not just how fast they can grow.

This episode is your reminder that results don’t come from motivation, they come from doing what you said you would.

In this conversation with Lily Ritchie, we explore the mindset, discipline, and personal responsibility required to build a business (and a life) that actually scales. If you’ve been feeling stuck, inconsistent, or caught in comparison, this is the pep talk you needed.

Together, we break down:

• why your biggest breakthroughs come from doing the things that don’t make sense yet
• how missing steps in your process affects your mindset and your results
• the compounding effect of small, boring, daily actions
• how your subconscious patterns become your baseline without you noticing
• why discipline is actually self-love not punishment
• the real reason comparison keeps you stuck (and why it’s almost always jealousy in disguise)

If you’re ready to step into a higher standard for yourself, simplify your discipline, and finally follow through, this episode will shift something in you.

In this episode, I sit down with Jackson Edwards, founder of JT Visuals, to unpack the real story behind how he went from earning $300 a week to confidently running a creative agency with over $20K in monthly payroll.

Jackson opens up about his childhood dream of becoming a professional AFL player, a plan he mapped out at 14, and the identity shift that came when life didn’t unfold the way he expected. We talk about how he pivoted into PT, why he intentionally charged less to learn the ropes, and how a simple YouTube vlog series sparked what would later become his full-time photography and videography business.

He shares the moment he realised he could build something bigger, how filming his own footy “game day vlogs” grew into a passion, and how watching his partner Tori (@ttorisstory) be let down by a photographer pushed him to finally take the leap.

Jackson’s story is a masterclass in compound effort, grind, persistence and choosing to back yourself even when the path doesn’t look clear yet.

We dive into:

• How a failed AFL career became the catalyst for a completely new direction

• The underrated advantage of charging less early on to build skill and reputation

• How JT Visuals grew from $0 to paying $20K+ in payroll every month

• The mindset shifts required when money starts flowing in and out of a business

• Why passion, consistency and self-belief matter more than perfect timing

This episode is raw, inspiring, and the untold story behind one of the Gold Coast’s fastest-growing creative agencies.

In today’s episode, I’m coming to you live from Japan, literally hiding under a doona in a hotel room in Osaka, to bring you a full life update, what’s been happening behind the scenes, and the huge personal shift that’s shaping my business, priorities and plans for 2026.

I share the full story of finding out I’m pregnant, navigating the first trimester while running a business, how it’s completely changed my boundaries and capacity, and why I’m more intentional than ever about the way I operate. We dive into body changes, mindset shifts, relationships, travel, and the reality of being a founder while growing a tiny human.

You’ll also hear how I’m preparing for business through pregnancy, the standards I’m holding for myself (and clients), and why motherhood does not mean losing your ambition, your revenue, or your identity.

Plus, if you’re ready to map out a real, tangible plan for a $200K revenue year in 2026, I’m running a free live workshop on December 3rd at 12pm AEST. This session will break down pricing, capacity, client journey, offer structure, and the exact levers you need to shift to realistically hit 200K.

If you’re listening later, you can still access the replay inside the free community.

Inside this episode:

• How I actually found out I was pregnant (the full story, tests and all)

• What the first trimester was really like while running a business

In this episode, I sit down with Rebecca Adehill, business advisor and high-ticket sales expert, to break down what actually converts in 2025.

They dive into the strategy behind high-ticket sales, the energy you carry online, and why your funnel matters more than the latest trending mindset hack.

Inside this conversation, Rebecca shares:
• What a high-converting funnel really looks like
• How to call in high-ticket clients with confidence and clarity
• Why journalling isn’t a business strategy and what is
• How to control the controllables and let the rest go

In this episode, I’m sharing 5 strategic shifts that changed everything and helped me hit my biggest quarter yet, without adding more hours to my week.

We dive into how I rebuilt my offer suite to truly serve my ideal client, set up back-end systems that work while I’m not “on”, and doubled down on client experience in a way that fuels both growth and freedom.

If you’re running a service-based business and wondering how to scale profitably (without burnout) this is for you. You’ll discover how to prioritise value over hustle, understand your numbers (profit isn’t revenue!!), and build a structure that supports your lifestyle and your business.

Going viral is one thing. Converting it into customers is another.

In this episode, I sit down with content creator and eCommerce founder Bec Stewart, who’s mastered both. We unpack how she grew a loyal community by creating content that genuinely solved her audience’s problems and how choosing a niche early on was the decision that changed everything for her personal brand.

Bec shares the reality behind trial and error and why that experimentation is the real secret to finding your voice online. We also dive into how she’s leveraged her following to grow her eCommerce brand, why posting daily isn’t the answer, and what happens when you show up without intention.

She’s living proof that data doesn’t lie, and when you start using your analytics to guide your strategy, everything shifts. From content planning to community-building, Bec’s approach is a masterclass in showing up with purpose, not pressure.

Navigating the Hard Seasons in Business

Business isn’t always smooth sailing—there are seasons of growth, slowdowns, and everything in between. In this episode of Simply Business, I share my honest experience with navigating the harder seasons, why embracing the ebbs and flows matters, and practical advice to help you keep moving forward when things feel uncertain.

Follow me for more insights on Instagram @thetaylorleec and TikTok.

I sat down with Trav on The Mindset Technician Podcast for a raw conversation about business, success, and the parts of the coaching industry no one really talks about.

We unpack why sustainable success comes from doing the boring, consistent things (not 12-hour hustle days), how finances and systems are the real foundations of growth, and the messy realities of navigating friendships, projections, and industry manipulation along the way.

This episode is part strategy, part mindset, and a whole lot of truth bombs. If you’ve ever questioned whether business has to be so complicated (or wondered what success really looks like behind the Instagram highlights) this chat is going to land.

Today we’re diving into a topic that comes up in nearly every client conversation: hiring.

Whether you’re looking at bringing on your first subcontractor or stepping into your first official employee hire, there’s a lot to know (and a lot of mistakes I see business owners making). In this episode, I’m breaking down the real differences between contractors and employees, what those costs actually look like, and the things you need to consider before you put out a job ad or sign an agreement.

This isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” guide, it’s me sharing my own experiences, what I’ve learned from my accountant and mentors, and the steps I wish I had known sooner. If hiring has been on your radar, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to take the next step the right way.

Seventeen years, seven kids, and a business portfolio worth talking about. In this episode, I sit down with Daine McDonald, founder, co-CEO and chairman of Clean Health Group to unpack what it really takes to go from personal trainer to running one of the Southern Hemisphere’s largest fitness education providers.

We cover everything from knowing when you’re ready to scale, the non-negotiables that keep you performing at your best, how to lead without micromanaging, and why your first million might not be your hardest. Daine also shares the lessons he’s learned from losing millions (yep, millions) and how that shaped his mindset on money, leadership and building a business that can run without you.

If you’ve ever wondered what separates the ones who make it from the ones who quit too soon, or how to merge the ‘woo’ with the work ethic, this is your sign to listen in.

Today I’m joined by one of my besties, Lily, and this one’s equal parts pep talk, perspective shift, and BTS of the kind of discipline that actually builds results.

We talk about what it really takes to stay consistent (even when no one's watching), the mindset behind her success in bodybuilding and business, and why comparison is often just a sneaky excuse to avoid doing the hard thing.

If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, being too empathetic in business, or waiting until you feel “ready” to raise your prices—this one’s for you. Oh, and we also unpack the difference between being inspired vs. just plain jealous. No shade, just truth.

You’ll learn:

• How to stop choosing low-level problems that keep you stuck

• What real discipline looks like (hint: it’s not 4am ice baths)

• The sneaky ways comparison holds you back

• Why building self-trust is the best strategy you’ll ever implement

Trigger warning: mentions of suicide & depression

In this episode, I sit down with one of my besties, Tori (the co-host of Raw Reality) for a real, raw chat about navigating identity loss, rebuilding from rock bottom, and turning your story into your brand.

We dive into:

• Finding purpose when you feel lost

• Building a personal brand without overthinking it

• What no one tells you about going full-time on socials

• Why your why matters more than any strategy

If you’ve been craving clarity, community, or just a reminder that you’re not behind, you’ll love this one.

If looking at your profit and loss report feels overwhelming (or like something you’ll just “deal with later”), this episode is your reset. I’m breaking down what EOFY actually means for small business owners—and how to use this season to become financially literate, strategic, and confident in your numbers.

Inside, we’ll cover:

• The key things your P&L report is actually telling you

• Common financial blind spots that stunt growth

• How to assess expenses, profit margins, and set aligned revenue goals

• Why EOFY is the perfect time to audit, refine, and build better systems

If you’re ready to stop winging it with your money and start making strategic decisions based on real data—this one’s for you.

Join Taylor (@thetaylorleec) and Riley (@therileymay) for an unfiltered road trip conversation covering the topics no one’s really talking about in the business world—but should be.

In this bonus episode, we unpack:

• The harsh truth about outsourcing and how to do it well

• Treating your business like a business (not a side project)

• The real reason people fail—and how to shift your mindset before it’s too late

• Red flags when hiring a coach (and how to protect your growth)

• What actually attracts premium buyers through your content

No fluff, no surface-level advice—just two businesswomen in a car saying the quiet parts out loud. 

This episode is a no-fluff masterclass in sales, content, and scaling your coaching business the smart way. I’m joined by Kyle Muska - fitness coach turned business mentor, who’s built a thriving online company, gone all-in on personal brand marketing, and isn’t afraid to call out the BS that holds most people back.

We chat about what it really takes to grow a high-converting business in 2025, why “just post content” isn’t a strategy, and how to sell without sounding like a sleaze.

Kyle breaks down:

• The psychology behind high-converting sales calls (and where most coaches go wrong)

• How to structure your pricing and offers for real growth not burnout

• The truth about being polarising in your content (and how it helps your brand)

• The difference between nurturing and noise, and how to make your organic content actually work

• Why “I can’t afford it” is rarely the real objection (and how to handle it like a pro)

If you’ve been stuck undercharging, overthinking, or scared to sell, this one’s your sign to shake things up.

This episode is packed with real talk on what it actually takes to grow multiple businesses (and not lose your mind in the process). I’m joined by Cade Robertson - gym owner, coach, and self-proclaimed introvert with a wildly impressive resume by 24. We chat about starting businesses young, building powerful collaborations, and why rejection doesn’t sting as much when you know your worth.

Cade breaks down:

• How to leverage your network (even when you’re just starting out)

• The art of negotiation (and what most people get wrong)

• What to charge, when to raise your prices, and why being the cheapest is never the goal

• Why your personal brand matters just as much as your product

If you’ve been stuck playing small or feeling a little lost in a sea of competition, this one will light a fire under you.
