In this solo episode of The Dept. I break down why one of the most powerful business models you can build is a business that allows you to teach. I explain how teaching can be used across every stage of business from lead generation to conversion to fulfillment to retention and why the people who make the most impact online are not always the ones with the most information, but the ones who know how to communicate in a way that actually moves people. If you’ve ever felt underpaid for your expertise, struggled to turn what you know into real income, or wanted to create content that actually changes people and leads them into the next step, this is an essential episode. Let go Dept. Fam!

My bank wouldn’t let me wire the money for Omar’s program last year. I was fresh off identity theft and have no online banking access. So I had to go in. I didn’t believe in myself before content to cash. I just signed a $16k photo job. A year ago, I would have laughed at you and said, that couldn’t happen here in the middle of the map, no where Hutchinson. KS Little by little, I have been putting myself out in the world. Being “the content.” I’m here to share what I shared this morning on Facebook. I wouldn’t be me with @Omar El-Takrori and @Art Mosqueda And the work they do on YouTube. You are the content. You are in control of your mind. Be loud about what you care about and I promise you,, I am just starting to walk in what God has FOR ME. Thank you for doing the work you do Omar. I will see you in Las Vegas for Neels conference and then hopefully if you don’t know me though my content, you will see my heart and know I’m not the crazy cancer mom! Praying over you today! I’ll be listening in! Enjoy my Ted talk: I was caged in my own mind. I had lost my license. I could not drive. And somewhere in that season I started believing that everyone who looked at me could see exactly what I was carrying. The shame. The weight of what I imagined everyone thought of me. I think that was the beginning of my visibility wound. But underneath the shame was something else. A money wound I did not even have a name for yet. Getting sober cracked the cage open. Community, money mindset books, and a lot of honest conversations started the slow work of healing it. I am still healing. But I am not caged anymore. I live in a double wide in rural Kansas 160 (on acres of my FIL land) with my husband and two farm boys who run wild just like I did as a little girl. I am not writing this from a fancy farmhouse. I am writing it from a slow life I chose on purpose. These six habits are a big part of why I have options today.

Very different episode today... I sit down with Lynn Washington for one of the most personal and heartfelt conversations on the show yet. We open up about grief, faith, and how to keep showing up in seasons of deep loss. I share the story of losing his father unexpectedly on Easter Sunday and how that experience reshaped his view of peace, purpose, and presence. If you’ve ever walked through loss or loved someone who has, this episode will remind you that you’re not alone and that God can meet you right where you are. Love you Dept. Fam.

Join me live for the last one of this year! Lets hang!! https://us02web.zoom.us/j/88301866762

i Just wanted to say it's all starting to make sense since doing Content to Cash. I just had my first $6K month (waiting on a wedding payment that'll push it to $7-8K. it was for a close friend and my servant's heart was willing to be underpaid... you know how it goes). During Content to Cash, I was barely making $2K and couldn't see a path to earning more. I'm so grateful you still pour into people outside the inner circle. I'm shooting a wedding on the 22nd or I'd be front row at the 100th episode taping! So proud of what you're building, and I know the Lord is too. I sent this episode to everyone I know building a business. My heart is so full. Today is also my 11th wedding anniversary, and I was such a different person back then: - Lost - Stuck - Didn't know podcasts, YouTube, mentors, and life coaching were even a thing - Definitely not making enough to call myself a "business owner" - Trapped in so many negative thoughts Look at God. 🙏 And, I have started sharing my story on youtube and slowly getting ready to start my talking to camera era and not hide behind my photos and words. 2026 is my face to camera era! I feel it! But, thank you. You are my favorite creator on the internet and I could probably win an award for the most shares of Omar! 🤩 https://youtu.be/8IvLXk0mH1Q?si=pGRN5XilOx6q4V6F
