Embracing Your Zone of Genius: How Leslie Hassler Transforms Challenges into Opportunities
In this episode of the En Factor, we are excited to welcome Leslie Hassler, founder of Your Biz Rules, to the show. Leslie’s journey to Your Biz Rules was not very linear, as she spent years working at an advertising agency before starting her first business, a residential design and construction company. After some time with this venture and realizing that what she was doing wasn’t fulfilling to her, she pivoted into Your Biz Rules, which is where she used her passion for coaching and consulting other small business owners to help them scale their businesses. Through sharpening their entrepreneurial mindset and discovering the deepest understanding of themselves, combined with professional fractional C suite and consulting services, Leslie’s team treats each client uniquely and helps them best align their personal strengths and superpowers with the goals of their business to achieve success in a way that’s fulfilling to the business owner. Tune in and join Leslie and Dr. Rebecca White as you won’t want to miss a moment of the amazing energy throughout this conversation with the two diving into topics including Leslie’s mindset about giving up responsibility and confidently building a team around you, advice for scaling as a small business and as a service business, and how to view uncertainty as a constant and not as a fearful roadblock to your success. Leslie also kindly provided a special, custom link specifically for En Factor listeners to visit on her website! If you enjoy today’s conversation and would like to connect with Leslie and Your Biz Rules, we would love for you to visit https://www.yourbizrules.com/enfactor/ .

From Guam to ‘Global Sprouts’: Whitney Dueñas Richardson's Journey of Cultural Impact
This week’s episode of the En Factor features Whitney Dueñas Richardson, who is the founder of Global Sprouts. Whitney’s journey is a very inspiring one, where she grew up in Guam before her family moved to the United States while she was in high school, when she was struck by the low level of cultural awareness in the United States. But it was when Whitney saw this same disconnect in her own daughter, she knew she had to do something to educate the future generation about being culturally aware, curious, and understanding. These experiences combined with her constant traveling around the world have resulted in Whitney starting Global Sprouts, which are culturally themed learning kits based off of different cultures around the world that allow families and educators to immerse the younger generation in other cultures. Through resources and activities including board games, toys, children’s stories, recipes and more, Global Sprouts’ boxes instantly immerse and educate children on other people, places, and cultures all around the world. Tune and in join Whitney and Dr. Rebecca White for this insightful and impactful conversation as they uncover topics including how Whitney’s childhood and heritage shaped her identity and approach to life, the value of experiencing and immersing yourself into other people’s cultures, and how being fearless and open-minded can open so many new doors and opportunities for you as an entrepreneur.

Accelerating Excellence: How James Brown is Coaching Other Entrepreneurs on Their Entrepreneurial Journeys
In this episode of the En Factor, we are excited to be joined by James Brown, an experienced entrepreneur with vast law, business development, and consulting experience who is currently the founder of Business Accelerator Institute and Perseverance Squared. With these two businesses, James provides coaching services including consulting, business development and growth, and marketing for professional service businesses including law firms, sales and marketing agencies, and much more, helping over 450 business owners successfully grow and expand their business since 2018 alone. James didn’t plan to go down this path, however, as he went to undergraduate and law school while working during the day at General Motors for over a decade, before applying to hundreds of law firms when the plant he worked at closed. When he wasn’t getting any responses from law firms and needed to continue making an income to support him and his family, he ventured out on his own, starting his own law practice which became very successful before selling it after 20 years to pursue coaching, and his goal of simply wanting to help other people with their businesses so that they can help even more people. Tune in and join us for this amazing conversation with James Brown and Dr. Rebecca White, as we uncover stories and topics including James’ desire to transition into coaching and consulting and away from practicing law, the 7 essential parts of a business that are in every successful business venture, and how a childhood of constantly experiencing imposter syndrome fueled the fire for his unbelievable work ethic. James has also set up a personalized link for En Factor listeners if you would like to connect with him and learn more about Business Accelerator Institute.
