The Bubbles Effect: Wednesday Power Hour with Tim Delaney

What if the fastest path to financial freedom isn’t launching something new… but buying something that already works? 🤔In this week’s Power Hour, I’m joined by Tim Delaney, entrepreneur, real estate investor, and host of Business Buying for Financial Independence, to talk about the real power behind business acquisition.More than a decade ago, Tim bought a small local business with almost no experience and very little cash down. That one move changed everything. 🍷And here’s what we unpack in this short, high-impact conversation:⚡ Why “I don’t have enough money” is usually a myth⚡ How SBA loans and seller financing actually make deals possible⚡ The massive opportunity created by retiring business owners⚡ Why you should never go in and overhaul a successful business on Day One⚡ How Tim used early YouTube videos inspired by Gary Vaynerchuk to grow his wine & liquor store⚡ And why engaging on social media might matter more than constantly postingWe also talk brick-and-mortar vs. franchises, evergreen YouTube strategy, and the confidence hurdle that keeps most people from ever making the leap.If you’ve ever thought about:Owning a businessCreating financial independenceOr stepping into something already profitable instead of building from zeroThis Power Hour will expand what feels possible.Because sometimes the boldest move isn’t starting from scratch.It’s stepping into momentum. 💥Connect with Tim here: https://powerofbiz.com 

The Bubbles Effect Classic Bubbly Convo with Casey Muze

Happy Friday, y'all! Which means, it's time for a classic bubbly conversation 🥂This week I sit down with rhythm-loving speaker and music therapist Casey Muse to talk about something we don’t discuss nearly enough as entrepreneurs: regulation, resilience, and the power of rhythm. 🎶Casey believes the brain listens better when the hands are moving, and once you hear him explain it, you’ll never think about leadership, trauma, or discipline the same way again. 🫶We dive into:How rhythm and neuroscience work together to regulate the nervous systemWhy trauma isn’t just a “red flag,” but information your body is holdingThe connection between memory, emotional response, and leadershipWhat resilience actually looks like when momentum disappearsWhy discipline, not motivation, is the real key to long-term successAnd the quiet truth behind “you’re just not good enough yet” (in the best way)Casey shares his journey from drumming on pots and pans at age two to building a music therapy practice, mentoring young men through his programs, and speaking nationally about rhythm, regulation, and resilience. 🥁We also talk entrepreneurship, storytelling as marketing, weekly cigar rituals, Dutch Bros coffee, and flip the script at the end so he interviews me back (which was way more fun than I expected!). This one is deep, honest, a little nerdy (in the best neuroscience way), and packed with perspective for any business owner who’s ever felt overwhelmed, burned out, or like their momentum disappeared. If you’ve been pushing nonstop without pausing to regulate your own nervous system… this conversation might be your reminder. ❤️Connect with Casey here: cmuze@avenuespeak.info

The Bubbles Effect: Wednesday Power Hour with Jordan Ostroff

What if building a successful law firm (or small business) didn’t require sacrificing your life, your health… or your flip flops? 🩴In this power hour episode, I sit down with Jordan Ostroff, law firm owner, CEO mentor, and founder of Lawyer With a Life , to talk about what it really takes to design a business that supports your life instead of consuming it.Jordan went from working 70+ hours a week, drowning in debt, and feeling completely burned out… to rebuilding his firm from the ground up after cutting $140,000 in bad marketing. Today, he works just 24 hours a week, by choice, and teaches other law firm owners how to do the same.And one thing he makes very clear?Working yourself into the ground is not a badge of honor. It’s not “risk” to change. The real risk is staying stuck. 💯We dive into:Why “burn it down and rebuild” isn’t as risky as you thinkThe mental health crisis in the legal profession (and why it matters)How multi-impact events (think golf + networking + fun) generate more business than Google AdsWhy you should live off your calendar, not your inboxThe delegation mindset shift most entrepreneurs get wrongHow to use AI to prepare for better delegationAnd why even Andy Warhol built a factory instead of doing everything himself 🎨Jordan also shares practical steps you can take today:✔️ Delegate one thing✔️ Add one multi-impact event to your calendar✔️ Start designing your ideal month , not just surviving your current oneThis episode is about designing a better life so you can build a better business and proving to yourself that you’re capable of more than you think. ❤️If you’ve ever felt buried in your own success… this one’s for you.Connect with Jordan here:JordanOstroff.com or find him on social as @lawyerwithalife.And as always, if something resonates, don’t just nod along, take one action in the next 30 minutes!Because just like bubbles… we rise to the top 🥂

The Bubbles Effect: Wednesday Power Hour with Christina Bulkilvish

In today’s episode of The Bubbles Effect, I’m joined by Christina Bulkilvish for an honest, grounded conversation about rebuilding self-trust, identity, and confidence after major life shifts. ✨Christina shares her powerful personal journey, from surviving a domestic violence relationship to a career upheaval, and a life-altering concussion, to ultimately choosing herself, quitting her job, and stepping into a life of solo travel and purpose. We talk about how those experiences shaped her work helping ambitious people stop overthinking, break limiting patterns, and start creating lives they’re genuinely excited to wake up to.We dive into what solo travel teaches you about resilience and self-trust, how to rebuild your identity after heartbreak or a big transition, and why keeping small promises to yourself is one of the most powerful ways to move forward, in life and in business. ❤️Christina also shares practical, actionable ways to get out of your own way, overcome analysis paralysis, and reconnect with what actually feels aligned, rather than what you think you should be doing.This is a quick, thoughtful and encouraging conversation about choosing yourself, taking small steps, and remembering that growth doesn’t have to be complicated to be meaningful.✨ Topics we cover:Rebuilding after major life shiftsSolo travel and resilienceSelf-trust, confidence, and identityOvercoming overthinking and analysis paralysisTaking aligned action in life and businessI loved this conversation and I think you will too!Connect with Christina here: confidencecoachchristina.com
