In this eye-opening episode, Bonnie sits down with intuitive strategist and Soul Language founder Jennifer Urezzio for a grounded, refreshing conversation about the role intuition plays in leadership, delegation, pricing, boundaries, and everyday business decisions.

Jennifer breaks down what intuition actually is, how it shows up in your body, why emotional safety impacts your ability to outsource, and how to identify clients who will support (or sabotage) your success using her famous Peanuts character method.

If you’ve ever felt torn between logic and gut instinct, or if delegation scares you more than it should, this episode gives you the clarity and confidence you didn’t know you needed.

Founders, here’s the delegation truth that changes everything: it’s not about whether you can do the task… it’s whether you should.

In this episode, Bonnie sits down with Chris “Schwally” Schwalbach, serial entrepreneur and fractional finance leader, to unpack how growth-stage leaders create leverage without burning themselves out. 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.

You’ll also hear a powerful concept that most leaders skip over: the skill of receiving help. When you structure communication, expectations, and accountability the right way, delegation stops feeling risky and becomes a growth engine.

If you’re building a team, working with fractional support, or trying to buy back your time in a smart way, this episode is for you.

Brandi Croghan, founder of The What If Collective and creator of the What If Mindset, joins Bonnie for a real, human conversation about curiosity, belonging, and the leadership shift that makes delegation easier. Brandi shares her five core pillars… connection over isolation, possibility over limitation, belonging before performance, flex over freeze, and commitment over fear… plus a powerful story from hiking the Camino in Spain that becomes the perfect metaphor for entrepreneurs carrying “packs” they don’t need to carry. If you’ve been white-knuckling your business like a recovering perfectionist, this episode is your sign to set something down.

What happens when your former client comes on the mic to talk about delegation, leadership, and what it’s really like working with a powerhouse EA?

In this conversation, CFOO and strategic operator Josh Cheng joins Bonnie to unpack their years working together at Verity, how he thinks about delegating as a founder, and why humility might be the most underrated leadership skill in business.

Josh shares his journey from UC Berkeley to nonprofit financial counseling, wealth management, startup co-founder, and now fractional CFO/COO for founders, firms, and nonprofits. He and Bonnie talk about how they built a high-trust working relationship, what it looks like to treat your VA or EA like a chief of staff, and how that changes the way you lead.

They also dive into sabbaticals, AI, and the messy middle of being a small business owner or fractional leader…the part where your brain feels like it’s carrying everyone and everything at once.

If you’ve ever wondered:

• “Do I really need a COO or CFO right now?”
• “How do I know if a client or team member is actually good for my mental health?”
• “Can I trust someone else with my calendar, priorities, and big picture?”

…this one is for you.

You’ll hear Josh and Bonnie talk about:

• How they met through a holding company, and why that structure created multiple opportunities for VA support across subsidiaries
• Why Josh always saw Bonnie as a strategic partner and not “just” an assistant
• What it practically looks like to treat an EA like a chief of staff
• Using delegation and fractional roles as a talent pipeline before hiring full-time
• How to know when to fire a client that isn’t aligned with your values or energy
• Why is humility a core leadership value if you want to delegate well
• The magic of sabbaticals…and how stepping away actually made Josh more creative and strategic
• The tension of being the founder, where, yes, “it all rolls uphill.”
• Why your network is gold, especially in the age of AI

By the end, you’ll have a clearer lens for evaluating who you work with, who supports you, and how to build a high-trust team that lets you lead without losing your mind.

Today’s guest is someone after Bonnie’s own CEO heart.
Katie Ellinger, co-founder of Prometryx. She is an MIT-trained brainiac who took her love of systems, numbers, and smart delegation and built a wildly thoughtful bookkeeping and financial ops firm serving small businesses across the U.S.

Katie lives in Medellín, Colombia, blends tech with trust, and has the rare perspective of someone who has delegated intentionally and also been the recipient of high-stakes delegation.
We talk emotional money stuff, trust, perfectionism, letting people into your books, and how she built a yin-yang partnership that’s grounded, strategic, and honestly… impressive as hell.

You’re going to love this one.

Today’s episode features someone who is about to flip your entire idea of sales upside down in the best way possible. I’m sitting down with Aleasha Bahr, the founder of Black Sheep Sales, a keynote speaker, and the number one authority on selling without the sleaze. She’s a strategist, a coach, and a woman who has helped sell tens of millions of dollars worth of offers. All without pretending. Without pressure. And definitely without acting like a douchebag.

In this conversation, we’re digging into the real stuff. The “oh crap, I have to sell now” moment so many founders hit. The mistakes that tank momentum. How to identify your anti-audience. Why transparent sales is magnetic. And how creative delegation can actually save your sanity and revenue at the same time.

If you hate sounding salesy or you’ve been burned trying to delegate sales the wrong way, this one is going to hit home.

In this episode of Delegate2Elevate: Get Sh!t Done, Bonnie sits down with Ashley Connell, CEO of Prowess Project, to answer the question every service-based founder has asked at least once…

“Where do I get a Leah?”

If you’re a professional service provider… a consultant, agency owner, coach, fractional operator, CPA firm leader, or service-based entrepreneur trying to scale, this conversation is packed with practical insights on:

✅ Delegation and outsourcing without losing control
✅ How to hire the right operations manager, operations partner, OBM (online business manager), chief of staff, or fractional COO
✅ Building business systems, processes, SOPs, workflows, and project management rhythms that actually stick
✅ Why emotional intelligence and work-style compatibility matter more than a “perfect resume”
✅ How to define success metrics, clarify deliverables, and delegate based on behaviors, not vague adjectives
✅ Leadership identity shifts… moving from “hero operator” to true CEO leadership
✅ Scaling a remote team while protecting client delivery, quality, and momentum

Ashley also shares how Prowess Project uses a matching algorithm rooted in EQ, skills, and work-style alignment to connect founders with vetted operations leaders.
