In this no-holds-barred, final episode of Season 2, Candy Barone is joined by the one and only Aleasha Bahr, the world's #1 authority on Black Sheep Sales. Together, they rip the lid off outdated, manipulative sales tactics and reframe what selling actually looks like when it's rooted in integrity, service, and aligned energy.

From "stop selling like a douchebag" to “sales is a love letter,” this episode is a firestorm of truth bombs and permission slips for visionary leaders, coaches, and business owners who are done with performative, bro-marketing BS.

Aleasha breaks down her revolutionary Black Sheep Sales Method™, a collaborative, custom, and radically human approach to sales that:

• Prioritizes de-qualifying over trying to get everyone to say yes

• Encourages you to repel the wrong clients so you magnetize the right ones

• Builds trust by giving a damn (and saying no when it’s not a fit)

• Removes the pressure and replaces it with presence and curiosity

• Converts up to 80% of leads without pretending to be someone you're not

Candy and Aleasha also talk lighthouses, F-bombs, proposal graveyards, and the real reason sales feels weird for so many heart-centered leaders—plus how to finally reclaim your power, your voice, and your pricing.

💥 Whether you’re sales-shy, sales-curious, or a seasoned pro who knows the old model is broken, this episode will validate your gut, challenge your patterns, and remind you: If it’s a fit, it’s a fact—no forcing required.

🎧 Tune in to hear:

• Why integrity is your greatest sales asset

• How to create collaborative conversations, not pressure cookers

• What to say when someone isn’t a fit (and how that builds your business)

• How sales can feel like love, not a battlefield

What if being too much was actually your greatest business advantage?

In this magnetic and truth-telling episode, Candy Barone sits down with powerhouse business coach Jessica Fearnley to explore how women in consulting can unapologetically step into seven-figure success without sacrificing their sanity, sovereignty, or softness.

Together, they unpack the myth that scaling means doing more — and instead, reveal the alchemy of earning more by doing less. Jessica shares how she helps women entrepreneurs transition from six to seven figures by shifting from hustle to high-value consulting models, and why “quiet power” and strategic boundaries are the most underutilized assets in leadership today.

You’ll hear Jessica’s behind-the-scenes journey — from public sector project manager to award-winning entrepreneur and author of the groundbreaking new book, “Too Much: How To Thrive Being More Instead of Settling for Less.” This is a fierce reclamation of value, visibility, and vision for any woman who’s been told to shrink, silence, or smooth out her edges to succeed.

If you’ve ever been labeled “too much,” this episode is your permission slip to be even more.

🔑 We cover:

• The hidden cost of over-functioning and over-delivering

• Why working less can unlock your highest income year yet

• How to build a consulting firm that doesn’t burn you out

• The mindset shifts that move you from doer to decision-maker

• What it really takes to unhook from people-pleasing and patriarchal expectations

This conversation is a mirror, a catalyst, and a revolution for women who are ready to lead with boldness, brilliance, and boundaries intact.

In this rich conversation, Candy Barone sits down with Lauren Shaw, one half of “The Laurens," to explore how AI can become a transformational, alignment‑driven amplifier in high‑ticket sales and business growth.

After a warm introduction, Lauren recounts how a shared love of sound healing led her and rocket scientist Lauren Capwell to burn everything down, travel to Bali, and co‑found The AI Sales Accelerator™ and Clarity Playbooks™ ... programs that have already generated millions in high‑ticket revenue by teaching entrepreneurs to marry cutting‑edge AI tools with human‑centered sales strategy .

They dive into the evolution of their flagship offerings, from a broad “everything AI” pilot that turned into around‑the‑clock tech support, to today’s finely honed suite focusing squarely on empathetic sales and marketing automation.

Lauren explains how they “whittled down” to the core of what lights them up: using custom GPTs to craft on‑brand messaging, automate content creation, and create an “Alignment GPT” that surfaces misalignments in business and personal flow, one they tested live, to tears, to rediscover clarity and momentum .

A large section of the episode unpacks practical strategies for preserving voice and soul when deploying AI.

Lauren outlines a two‑step method: (1) train a custom GPT on your unique brand knowledge base, and (2) treat AI as a thought‑partner—getting a first draft and then infusing it with your own insights.

They also highlight “deep research” features in modern AI platforms (like ChatGPT’s and Gemini’s) to ground creative ideas in data, an underutilized but game‑changing approach for informed decision‑making and risk mitigation.

Finally, Lauren unveils their latest innovation: the Sales Coach GPT, a 24/7 AI mentor that parses call transcripts to identify hidden objections, limiting beliefs, and follow‑up opportunities, then prescribes exact conversational pivots and nurture strategies.

Listeners are encouraged to join the AI Clarity Community (first Wednesday each month) and try out their free “Premium Pricing GPT,” which demystifies hidden value in your offers and builds pricing confidence.

Throughout, the message is clear: when used with intention and human oversight, AI is not here to replace us but to amplify our unique gifts and propel next‑level impact.
