How to Scale Your eCommerce Company to 7-Figures through Authenticity & Guerrilla Marketing (Jaya Halepete Iyer, Founder of Svaha)- Get Sh!t Done Podcast
Here’s what you’ll learn from Jaya Halapete Iyer, founder of Svaha:
How she grew 250% in year 1 and scaled to $1M by year 3.
How she targeted a specific yet mighty niche of customers who became an army of advocates that led to brand collaborations.
How she scaled authenticity through guerrilla marketing and word of mouth.
And more...
WHY the MAJORITY of her business is inbound interest via referrals.
Their hyper-focused qualification process checklist for leads that allows them to drive impact and the bottom line.
How she leveraged the flywheel approach to double down on scaling core competencies.
And more...
She scaled to 7-figures in eCommerce.
There are 10’s of millions of eCommerce websites in the US but supposedly only 7% generate $1M+ ARR.
Meet Jaya Halepete Iyer, the founder of Svaha. She’s a part of the 7%, which a fraction of that is owned by womxn entrepreneurs.
Jaya’s story resonated so much with me because my former company that exited was in eCommerce.
We often talk about how “easy” it is to start an eCommerce company and that’s correct. However, do you know how HARD it is to scale?!
eCommerce is one of the most saturated markets and unless you’re able to cut through the noise, scaling is an uphill battle.
Here’s what you’ll learn from Jaya:
How she grew 250% in year 1 and scaled to $1M by year 3.
How she targeted a specific yet mighty niche of customers who became an army of advocates that led to brand collaborations.
How she scaled authenticity through guerrilla marketing and word of mouth.

Queen of the Week: She Robbed a Bank the Launched in 700 Stores w/ $330k in Funding (Chantel Calloway, Ryhme Antics) - Get Sh!t Done Podcast
On this Queen of the week, Chantel, a Queen in the Get Sh!t Done Tribe, will walk you through…
How she moved to New York with just a prototype and $150 then launched in stores like Walmart, Target, etc.
How she moved through doubt from people who defined her by her past.
What doesn’t work when you are trying to gain traction.
How she was able to reframe her mistake to become a thriving entrepreneur.
And more..
She robbed a bank but bounced back & launched in 700 stores with $300k in funding.
I first met Chantel when she applied to the Get Sh!t Done Accelerator.
I was blown away by her.
I’ll joke and tell her she’s like the real-life Set if Off without all of the drama but what she’s accomplished is SOOO much bigger.
Chantel’s story resonated strongly with me because my grandmother spent her entire career ensuring Black Youth stayed out of prison and for those who did go, ensured they had opportunities when they got out.
The Black community is so often criminalized by the media without acknowledging the systems that backs us into a corner and tries to keep us there.
Chantel didn’t just rob a bank, she defied a system that was created to keep us stuck.

Here's what you'll learn from Elena, Founder of SkillScout:
How external validation led to a worthiness conundrum.
The raw reality of what it's like to fight for your team so they can feed their families.
How she redefined success in 2020 not as growth but rather what she wanted to be remembered for as a leader.
How do you bounce back after losing 50% of revenues?
I’ve never cried during a podcast interview until I interviewed Elena Valentine.
I wanted to interview Elena on how she scaled her company to 7-figures bootstrapped.
However, it was of the most meaningful conversations I’ve had about leading through a storm.
Elena's storm was the pandemic stripping her company of 50% of revenues in 2020.
The entrepreneurial ecosystem tends to discuss when people failed or when they succeed.
But what about what it’s like to fall? To get back up? To keep going?
THESE moments define GREAT leaders & companies.

The different scaling stages of your company to $1M and beyond.

Frameworks for learning how to operate within your zone of genius
And more….
""If I’m spending time on a $10 task, I’m stealing $9,990 from my business."
Do you know what the $10,000 hour is for your business?
According to Kara Smith Brown, Founder of Lead Coverage, everyday you have a:
-$10 hour
-$100 hour
$1,000 hour
-$10,000 hour
She knows this well since she scaled to 7-figures, bootstrapped, in 3 years.
I often see women entrepreneurs not valuing their time enough.
“Raises Hand” ✋
In 2020, I’m grateful that Get Sh!t Done as a company grew but I also felt the tension of growth when you’ve outgrown systems or processes that are no longer serving you and stealing your time.
We started investing in new systems but TBH it drives me nuts at times as we’re building them.
However, I think back to my interview with Kara as a reminder that having supportive systems promotes scale and prevents me and my team from stealing money from the business.

How to Scale to $10 Million+ Bootstrapped in 5 Years (Whitney Headen, Founder, 19th & Park) - Get Sh!t Done Podcast
Here's what you'll learn from Whitney, Founder of 19th & Park:
How she built up $10M at a corporate job after they wouldn’t give her a raise so she took her relationships with her.
How mindset around what I call “broke PTSD” needs to be nurtured when you scale.
How she sustained even after banks say no EVEN when they had $2.5M in the bank and good credit
And much more...
"I had a credit score of 800 and we had revenues of $2.5M and banks STILL said NO."
I sat with this message with a big ass smile on my face.
I remember throwing my head back, snapping my fingers, and SHOUTING - “Yaaassss, Queen!” In my office.
I had a deep sense of pride, not only as a womxn entrepreneur but a Black womxn.
That pride was in knowing how many mountains Whitney and her team climbed to get where they are.
Mountains steeper than their counterparts. Period. Point. Blank.
Did you know that 1.7% of womxn entrepreneurs scale beyond $1M?
Did you know that nearly 90% of womxn entrepreneurs generate well below $100k in revenue annually?
Did you know that Black womxn entrepreneurs generate the lowest of our counterparts at $24k annually despite launching more businesses than anyone else?
Those are the multiple mountains Whitney not only climbed but conquered with her team in just 5 years.
Here's what you'll learn from Whitney, Founder of 19th & Park:

Turn an Investor "No" into a "Yes" (Jihan Thompson, Swivel Beauty) - Get Sh!t Done Podcast
Learn how from Jihan Thompson, founder of Swivel Beauty:
What to do before every investor meeting to get a Yes even if it’s not a check.
How to be prepared for and treat No’s
Questions to ask when you get a No
How No’s can make your pitch better
Self-care tips for handling constant rejection to keep you going
*This interview was originally recorded in 2018.
I have been rejected by TONS of investors!
From my 1st business at 19 to my last company where I raised from VCs.
At some point, we started putting conversion rates on the pipeline of investors from outreach to conversations to checks closed. This forced us to think logically through the No’s instead of taking it personally.
However, I didn’t know to do that until years into pitching!
More importantly, I wish I would have known that EVERY single investor meeting could become a Yes.
The “Yes” may not be a check but there are SOOO many other invaluable things that you can gain from investor meetings that can help move your business forward.
If you’re a female founder fundraising, you should be looking for your “Yes” in EVERY single investor.

How Startups Scale Unintended Consequences (Kate O'Neill, KO Insights) - Get Sh!t Done Podcast
Kate O’Neill, founder of the Tech Humanist will teach you:
How companies scale unintended consequences.
How to be a tech humanist.
The 3 things we need to understand to scale technology that creates meaning and meaningful experiences.
What to do when your company f*cks up.
Best practices for centering humanity during scale through purpose.
“Purpose is the shape meaning takes in business.”
This should be the motto for 2021 for ALL companies.
From Facebook to Google to The Wing, the entrepreneurial ecosystem has scaled bad practices and behaviors that have hurt many people.
I don’t think these founders had bad intentions.
Quite the contrary.
I truly believe that each of these founders had a vision for helping people that turned sour while scaling.
How?
We perpetuate growth for growth’s sake to saturate markets quickly. While “intentions” may be to serve more people while yielding BIG returns, many of these companies forget to put the very people they claim to serve at the center and harm them in the process.
Remember when Google used the motto “Don’t do evil”?
They don’t use it anymore.
As we forge into 2021, I hope all companies can get clear on who they serve and the purpose of serving them.
Otherwise, why should what you do matter to us?
Kate O’Neill, founder of the Tech Humanist will help you answer that very question. Here’s what you’ll learn:
How companies scale unintended consequences.
How to be a tech humanist.
The 3 things we need to understand to scale technology that creates meaning and meaningful experiences.
What to do when your company f*cks up.
Best practices for centering humanity during scale through purpose.

Sexual Wellness for Female Founders (Ashley Cobb, Bedtanicals) - Get Sh!t Done Podcast
Here’s what you’re going to learn from Ashley Cobb, founder of Bedtanicals:
The #1 tip that will make your life SO much easier.
How solo sex can be apart of your self-care routine.
How to communicate your needs.
Tips, tricks, and tools to use to navigate dating in quarantine.
Sexual wellness will be valued at $108B. People need it but entrepreneurs run away from talking about it.
When we talk about wellness in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, it’s typically about:
Meditation
Working out
Affirmations/Visualizations
When we talk about sex in the entrepreneurial ecosystem, it’s typically about:
Sexual harassment from the predators we allow to galavant around the ecosystem because too many people prioritize money and power over people’s actual well being.
The sex startups started by men so they can get it to work again or prevent hair loss.
Sex as founders doesn’t have to be shunned nor weaponized.
It’s actually important that we take back its power if it’s apart of our lives.
However, it’s EXTREMELY hard to prioritize it when you’re a busy founder building a business, trying to be a good friend, parent, partner, friend, or just breathe and be human.
Sex can be apart of your wellness routine and can be an asset.
The good news is that you can figure out ways to make it apart of your wellness routine regardless of whether you’re single or taken.
Your favorite Sexpert, Ashley Cobb, founder of Bedtanicals knows all about the struggles around building a business and balancing a sex life.
Here’s what you’re going to learn from Ashley:
The #1 tip that will make your life SO much easier.
How solo sex can be apart of your self-care routine.
How to communicate your needs.
Tips, tricks, and tools to use to navigate dating in quarantine.

How to Bounce Back from Being Screwed Out of a $7 Million Partnership (Deborah Tuggle, Bite Me, Inc)- Get Sh!t Done Podcast
Here’s what you’ll learn from Deborah Tuggle, founder of Bite Me Inc.:
How she built a cookie empire without a business plan.
How she established partnerships both good and bad.
How she acquired one of her original partners.
How a bad partnership led to 1 key thing that closed financial gaps and catapulted the company.
How to learn from and avoid some of her mistakes.
What would you do if you got screwed out of $7M in your business by a “partner”?
Sadly, bad business partnerships happen often, especially for eager entrepreneurs who don’t know what they don’t know.
However, partnerships can be the bedrock for how a company grows its reach and taps new markets.
Think Versace X H&M, Nike X Apple, Taco Bell X Doritos.
Deborah Tuggle went from having no business experience to never creating a business plan to 20 years later, owning and operating a cookie empire.
She knows the good, bad, and ugly of partnerships, including acquiring a partner to having a “partner” try to reverse engineer her cookie recipe to push her out of $7M ARR.
The most beautiful thing about Auntie Deb and how she does business is that she teaches how you can screw up, get screwed over, and still scale up.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
How she built a cookie empire without a business plan.
How she established partnerships both good and bad.

“Every woman needs to be her own CFO because we are the stewards of Family Wealth”
This may be an unpopular opinion but 🤷🏾♀️
Women can't afford to treat entrepreneurship as a hobby.
Here’s why…
Women founded companies generate 4% of TOTAL biz revenues. (I'll say it until it changes)
F*ck 4% isn't meant to be cheeky. It's about what it costs women to remain at 4%.
The driving force of the economy & wealth generator is entrepreneurship & women are the MOST Powerful at making $ work.
We’re currently making it work for everybody else. It’s our time to put it to werk for ourselves so it can have greater impact.
Carolyn Leonard aka the Options Queen knows what it’s like to build wealth from a deficit. From exiting a bad marriage w/ a quarter million in debt to learning the ropes of wealth generation as the 1st active trader at the Chicago Board of Options Exchange to how she’s activating a pipeline of wealth between female founders & funders.

How they grew to 15,000 locations quickly.
How she will be the first African American to pull off this type of legacy company.
“My end game is not to sell to one of the big guys. My end game is to BE one of the big guys.”
The entrepreneurial ecosystem has become intoxicated with the idea of fast exits.
Oftentimes, founder’s aren’t really about that life but don’t know any better because we’re stuck into what I call “the VC timezone”
Our ecosystem is so so obsessed with a vehicle that can be powerful but is NOT appropriate for MOST companies.
What I hear more often, is founders wanting to build a legacy.
That’s exactly what Fawn Weaver, founder of Uncle Nearest has done. In just a few years,
She has built the fasted growing American Whiskey brand in HISTORY and raised $60M ALLL from individuals.
“I know where all of my investors want to exit and they know that at whatever point they want to exit, I want to be the one to buy them out.”

Founder PR: How to Build Brand Awareness for FREE (Stephanie Benedetto, Queen of Raw)- Get Sh!t Done Podcast
Here’s what you’ll learn from Stephanie Benedetto, founder of Queen of Raw:
How to leverage a strategy you probably avoid or doubted yourself in that led her to pitching in front of Ashton Kutcher, Diddy, and Gary Vaynerchuck.
How to quantify impact of brand awareness when it’s not repeatable or scalable.
How to choose your vehicle for getting your story out there
She also gives you her phone number. YAS! Because she’s truly here to support you on your scaling journey like the Queen she is!
Many founders have a “corporate” mindset about PR.
Somewhere, someone along the way, who doesn’t know sh!t about startups or actually built one gave them a “playbook”.
Unfortunately, that playbook typically involves expensive PR agencies, publicists, and a whole branding strategy that most startups can’t afford.
Here’s the thing, I believe in PR. It’s a great way to build brand awareness.
However, most early-stage founders cannot compare themselves to the startups plastered on New York subway stations.
You have an opportunity to go grass-roots and make an impact for FREE.
The Queen of Raw, Stephanie Benedetto, is probably one fo the ILLEST founders I’ve seen when it comes to racking up Free PR.
She has been featured in NPR, Good Morning America, The New York Times, Vogue, WWD, ELLE, Cheddar, Parade, WCBS, United Nations, Fortune, Entrepreneur, WIRED, Ellen MacArthur Foundation, and Fast Company.

How brands will be irrelevant if they don’t stand for something.
How to avoid being a Bandwagon Brand.
“If you’re an Authentic Brand, You’re gonna F*ck up.”
We are 7 days away from one of the most important elections in my life so far and probably yours too.
Many things led us here in 2016 but one of those things was brand.
One of those brands won because of what they stood for out loud.
It was bold, blatant, in your face, and rallied those who saw themselves in it.
The most POWERFUL brands stand for something - even if that something is Hate.
Toxic brands don’t have to win. However, many slither their way to the surface when the silence of the status quo has become the norm.
Brands that exist in the future will stand for something.
Meaning, your brand can NOT sit on the sidelines silent if you want to stick around.
My fave brand genius, Emma Mcilroy, Founder of Wildfang built a brand that is SO powerful that customers tattoo it on themselves.
Emma teaches us is that authentic brands f*ck up but it allows them to do better.
Your brand means nothing if you don’t try.

“He’s given me all of the cheat codes for the Old Boys Club.”
The majority of my mentors as a young entrepreneur were guys in finance. I did not plan it that way but it’s exactly what I needed at the time.
If you’re an OG Get Sh!t Done Queen, you’ve heard me say this before:
Entrepreneurship is 1% Talent, 48% Hard Work, and 51% who you know. Periodt.
“I say self made, meanin' I designed myself” - Nipsey Hussle
Every successful entrepreneur I know didn't do it alone. They learned how to lean into how they were designed to be great instead of focusing on their weaknesses AND surrounded themselves with the people that filled the gaps.
But finding mentors can be intimidating AF & gaining access to meaningful mentorship means stripping out of the facade.
