In this episode of the Modern Direct Seller Podcast, we chat with Chalisa Hagan, jBloom’s first ever Diamond Executive Director, about what it really takes to lead a big team without stepping away from selling. Chalisa has spent over 22 years in the jewelry space, and today she leads a team of more than 900 while still showing up at her own events. She shares how her view of the business has changed over the years, plus a few of the ways she keeps her team excited to be part of it. If you’re working toward leadership in your own business, this one’s a refreshingly honest look at life at the top.

In this episode of the Modern Direct Seller Podcast, we chat with business coach Amber McCue, author of the brand new book How to Clone Yourself. Amber has spent over 15 years building multiple businesses, often alongside a corporate career, and she's learned to do it without living at her desk. She shares the thinking that helped her stop doing everything herself, plus how she's putting AI to work in her own business. If you've ever wished there were two of you, this conversation might get you closer than you think.

You can find Amber on Instagram and pick up How to Clone Yourself on the book's official site. That's also where you can meet the AI Clone Team she created for her business.

In this episode of the Modern Direct Seller Podcast, Becky and Jeremy Launder pick up where their last AI conversation left off and take it a big step further. They move from using AI to write in your brand voice to having it actually get work done across the tools you already use every day. Jeremy breaks down the tech that's quietly reshaping how they run their business, and they share an early look at what it's starting to make possible inside Oh My Hi. If AI has only ever been a writing buddy for you, this one might change how you think about it.
