Today, Billy welcomes his very good friend, Ashley Kent, the founder and CEO of Clearstart, a marketing consultancy that helps early-stage health tech startups and modern healthcare providers grow with clarity and speed. Ashley started her career with a Kinesiology degree and zero marketing experience, but quickly became the first hire at a venture-backed health tech startup, where she learned about the startup world from the inside out. Today, Ashley leads a team of strategists, creatives, and operators that serve 20+ companies across the health innovation landscape. She’s part of the 2% of women entrepreneurs who have built a business earning over $1M in annual revenue, all while staying bootstrapped and founder-led. Known for her clarity, candor, and bias toward action, Ashley is passionate about helping founders navigate messy early growth stages without losing their vision (or their minds). And, today, she is sharing with you details of her journey along with a whole load of platinum advice for those who are looking for a life of optionality!

Billy gives insights into how you can feel happy about (and with) money, including looking at the perspectives and mindsets around money, yourself, and what is important to you, and actions you can take to get your priorities in line.

Today, Billy welcomes special guest Dave Pakos to the show, a school teacher turned solopreneur. In 2022, Dave quit the education system, realizing that following his curiosities was more enjoyable than following a curriculum. The journey from teacher to solopreneur started with learning how to create (and sell) animated explainer videos for B2B clients. In early 2023, Dave fell in love with writing, and today has written every day for more than 2 years, establishing his writing business and brand as an authority. He's grateful to be working with high-achieving, creative entrepreneurs, and today is sharing stories and advice with you to help inspire and kickstart your own journey to financial and time freedom!

Billy takes a deeper dive look at how you can move away from that point of being stuck and take the first steps toward the fuller confidence and success you want that comes from starting your own side business.
