Where established business owners reveal what it’s really like to be CEO and simultaneously pursue abundance. Abundance looks different for everyone and no two businesses are built the same. During this open conversation, discover how circumstance, actions, and events created emotional reactions of either abundance or scarcity throughout their business-building journey. Much of whether we grow or get stuck playing small depends on the mindset we choose and the actions we take during the highs and lows throughout our entrepreneurial journey. Find out how workload, relationships, and money played a role in business owners’ decisions, emotions, and mental health during various stages in their business, when they made key decisions about hiring, marketing, and outsourcing, and how hosting their own podcast played a role in their personal development AND the growth of their business. Virginia Elder, host and owner of Podcast Abundance, shares pieces of her own journey from corporate life to freelancer to business owner, plus interviews other entrepreneurs with thriving businesses who use their podcast to establish authority in their niche, provide educational content for potential clients, and drive leads into their business. During the first half of each interview episode, you’ll get an inside look at the guest’s business and hear about challenges, plus the habits and actions that help navigate them. Our goal is to uncover the mindset and mental health shifts that worked for them to help you thrive during your journey. Then, in the second half of the interview, we switch the conversation to marketing strategies and learn how launching a podcast helped them grow their business and mature as a founder, speaker, and collaborator for their brand. Every business needs a reliable marketing arm that consistently and automatically attracts potential clients, and these guests have a successful, active podcast doing exactly that! Learn how they started, what changed, and how they’ve grown since becoming a podcast host. We’ll reveal podcasting strategies that work and prep you for the emotional rollercoaster that occurs any time you step up to play big in life. Abundance is within reach for all of us, but the pursuit of abundance is never over. It takes intention, a clear vision for what abundance means to you, and a consistent level of consciousness around your actions and emotions throughout your journey. Cheers to Reaching Abundance together!

Burnout, hustle, and grind – these words often define entrepreneurship. But it's time to rethink our strategy for success. Launching a new project or business should fuel your energy, not drain it.
Virginia welcomes Pete McPherson, founder of Do You Even Blog, and creator of many YouTube channels, blogs, and SAAS products for entrepreneurs. Forging a career path outside traditional norms, Pete shares the highs and lows of tackling projects, the benefits of starting a podcast, how he’s navigated several pivots, his intentionally unfocused business strategy, and why he champions methodically removing friction from your life based on your personality and what drives you.
Pete mentions his Enneagram number. Find yours using this free resource: https://www.truity.com/test/enneagram-personality-test
Have you ever taken the time to rank and rate the tasks you do each day based on the amount of energy required of you, the amount of time you spend, the benefit of the task, and whether the task moves you closer to the person you want to be?
2 Rules Pete lives by:
- Don’t start projects that don’t have an end date.
- Don’t do things that don’t meet an “acceptable” weighted score (up to discretion) of 3 criteria - money-making potential, energy requirement, love for the process

"I can actually be like 90% of my dream person. Who do I want to be? I could be that person now. I don't have to wait until I make millions. I don't have to wait until my kids are out of the house, in college. I don't have to wait for a bunch of these things. I can do it now.” - Pete McPherson
