If you’ve ever wondered why your business feels stuck — despite working hard on your marketing or your sales — this episode is for you.

This week, I sat down with Kyle Andrews, CEO and Founder of Next Level Revenue and author of The Next Level Revenue Formula. Kyle has a fascinating journey from lab manager, to karate school owner, to leading a multimillion-dollar marketing and sales company. What ties it all together? His obsession with process, data, and creating predictable results.

Here are my key takeaways from our conversation:

• Marketing and sales aren’t two separate departments — together, they form the “revenue zipper” that keeps growth predictable and profits flowing.
• Optimization is everything. Kyle learned early on that when you tweak the right part of a process, you unlock exponential results.
• Revenue growth is math, not magic. With the right system, you can literally predict your results.
• Many entrepreneurs focus on topline numbers but forget profitability — the real goal is profitable revenue.
• Podcasting, when integrated into a larger ecosystem, isn’t just about visibility. It’s a powerful sales strategy to build trust and move prospects closer to working with you.
• Stop relying on outdated metrics like “7 touches” — today, buyers may need 30+ interactions before they’re ready to buy. Kyle’s approach: “Seven times, seven ways.”

In this episode, Kyle shares the exact frameworks he’s created to help businesses remove the silos between sales and marketing, measure ROI with clarity, and build systems that don’t just generate leads but actually convert them. His story proves that when you bring curiosity, creativity, and a little “MacGyver” thinking to business growth, the results are revolutionary.

If you’re ready to stop treating sales and marketing as separate worlds and finally align your business around predictable, profitable revenue — this conversation will change the way you think.

Special Guest: Jake Falcon

catalina@falconwealthadvisors.com

Welcome back to another episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, the show where I empower coaches and consultants to use podcasting as a way to grow influence, attract clients, and share their message with those who need it most.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jake Falcon, founder of Falcon Wealth Advisors, who brings over 20 years of experience in financial services. Jake is on a mission to enhance financial literacy and help people take control of their financial future, especially as they approach retirement.

What struck me most in our conversation is how little financial education most of us receive. As Jake shared, many people—even multimillionaires—struggle with fear and uncertainty around retirement simply because they don’t know how to manage their wealth to generate income for the long term. His passion for solving this problem came from two things: a childhood fascination with money (sparked by a video game called Wall Street Kid!) and a deep love for helping people create confidence and clarity around their finances.

We also talked about his Signature Planning Process, a two-step, highly personalized approach he uses with clients to uncover their true goals, address financial “pain points,” and build a flexible, ongoing plan that evolves with life’s changes.

Here are my key takeaways from this conversation:

• Financial literacy isn’t taught in schools, but it’s essential to living with freedom and confidence.
• Retirement isn’t just about money—it’s about purpose, lifestyle, and planning for how you’ll spend your time.
• Money should be seen as a tool, not a burden. It buys you time, freedom, and the ability to give back.
• Podcasting (yes!) is one of the most powerful ways to build trust with your audience and attract clients who already understand your values and approach.

Jake also shared his book, Retiring Right: Smart Steps for Exiting Corporate America, and explained why enhancing financial literacy drives everything he does.

This was a fascinating, inspiring conversation about money, purpose, and the power of getting your message out there.

Special Guest: Joel Friedland

https://www.britproperties.com

Welcome back to another episode of the Podcast Profits Unleashed Podcast! I’m your host, Karen Roberts, and today’s conversation is one I know will shift the way you think about investing, selling, and even the mistakes we’ve all made along the way.

• Listening beats selling every time. Joel shares how learning to ask better questions (instead of pitching) changed the entire trajectory of his career.
• Vulnerability builds trust. By opening up about failures—including a period of deep depression after the 2008 crash—Joel shows the power of honesty in building long-term investor relationships.
• Debt-free investing is possible. Joel reveals how syndicating industrial real estate without banks or debt works and why it’s a safer long-term play.
• Commercial real estate is more accessible than most people think. Minimum investments can start far lower than many assume, making it a viable option for more investors.
• Podcasting as credibility. We explore whether podcasting could be the trust-building platform Joel—and others in business—need to expand their investor network.

In this episode, I sit down with Joel Friedland, a seasoned real estate investor with over 40 years of experience. Joel takes us back to 1981, when interest rates were a shocking 17% and he was just starting out in industrial real estate. What struck me most is how he owned up to the mistakes he made early in his career—talking more than listening, pitching instead of consulting—and how those lessons transformed the way he does business today.

Joel walks us through his evolution from traditional broker to debt-free syndicator, sharing stories of working with family-run businesses, massive industrial clients, and investors who trusted him enough to join deals worth millions. What makes this episode truly powerful is Joel’s candor about the challenges he’s faced and the mindset shift that helped him rebuild stronger than ever.

If you’ve ever thought, “I can’t get into commercial real estate” or wondered how to truly connect with people in any business, this conversation will change your perspective.

Special Guest: Mitchell Levy

In this episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, I’m joined by the brilliant Mitchell Levy—TEDx speaker, international bestselling author, and the mind behind over 60 books and 20 companies. He’s a powerhouse in the world of credibility and social selling, and he doesn’t hold back in this conversation.

We dive deep into how coaches, consultants, and thought leaders can ditch the slimy sales tactics and use LinkedIn and podcasting to grow their business with authenticity.

Mitchell reminds us that visibility without trust is just noise. The real magic happens when you build relationships, create micro-commitments, and lead people into genuine conversations. Whether that’s through a podcast, a Zoom call, or a birthday message in the DMs, your goal isn’t just to “sell”—it’s to be seen, heard, and remembered.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• I learned that LinkedIn is not about likes and comments—it’s about starting real conversations that lead to referrals, relationships, and business.
• Mitchell showed how just one thoughtful weekly post is often more effective than five daily ones—consistency > quantity.
• We talked about overcoming the fear of DMs—they’re not slimy when they’re intentional, kind, and human.
• I love Mitchell’s concept of becoming a "Community Superhero"—being so clear and visible in what you do that others naturally refer you.
• He introduced the idea of a CPOP (Customer Point of Possibility)—a concise statement of your purpose in under 10 words that acts as your messaging compass.
• He shared how tools like Substack and even custom AI chatbots can help streamline content and empower your team to amplify your voice.

If you’ve been relying on ego metrics or feel overwhelmed by LinkedIn, this episode is your permission slip to simplify and reconnect with purpose.

Special Guest Ryan Gottfredson

https://ryangottfredson.com/personal-mindset-assessment

In this thought-provoking episode of Podcast Profits Unleashed, I sit down with leadership coach, author, and researcher Dr. Ryan Gottfredson—whose work has deeply reshaped how I view personal and professional growth. If you’ve ever felt stuck or like something is holding you back (even if everything looks successful on the outside), this episode is for you.

We dive into the groundbreaking science of personal transformation—not focused on what you need to do, but who you need to be. Ryan makes a powerful case for being-based leadership, explaining that true, sustainable success begins by upgrading your internal operating system—the beliefs, mindsets, and emotional wiring running your life behind the scenes.

💡 Key Takeaways:

• Real growth doesn’t come from learning more tools—it comes from upgrading your inner wiring.
• Most leaders unknowingly operate from a place of self-protection, not value creation.
• Healing trauma is not just therapeutic—it’s essential to effective leadership.
• You don’t need a crisis to transform. Conscious, intentional reflection can spark the same growth.
• Podcasting is one of the most powerful ways to show up authentically and elevate your impact.

Ryan walks us through his 3-step framework for internal transformation:

1. Recognize your being side—the subconscious programming that shapes how you show up.
2. Awaken to its current quality by noticing how you react to things like feedback or discomfort.
3. Elevate it through intentional development—especially during life’s “heat experiences.”

We also explore the concept of vertical development and how most people (and even leaders) stay stuck at the base level—focused on safety, comfort, and belonging. The real magic happens when we move beyond personal gain to contribution and legacy.

This conversation left me both inspired and challenged—and I think it will do the same for you. Whether you're a coach, consultant, or entrepreneur, this episode is your invitation to stop doing more—and start becoming more.

🎧 Tune in and let's grow together.

Special Guest Robert Matzkin

www.Robmatzkin.com

In this powerhouse episode of Profits Unleashed, I sit down with serial entrepreneur and business strategist Rob Matkin—founder of over 16 companies and a man who’s had multiple successful exits. This conversation is a masterclass in scaling with clarity, courage, and focus—even when life throws you curveballs.

Rob opens up about his journey, from struggling with dyslexia to turning it into a superpower that shaped his leadership style and resilience. What started as a simple favor—giving a friend advice—quickly evolved into his purpose: helping entrepreneurs grow businesses that are both scalable and sustainable.

We dive deep into the traps many founders fall into, especially the infamous Superman Syndrome, and how trying to do everything yourself can be the biggest bottleneck in your business. Rob gets real about the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people—from co-founders to investors—and why you should never build a business alone again.

One of my biggest takeaways? Scaling doesn’t have to feel chaotic. Rob breaks down his ladder-based strategy for sustainable growth, starting with a detailed business audit across seven core areas and moving upward, one step at a time. It’s all about clarity, intentionality, and momentum.

We also explore the emotional side of scaling—those moments when fear creeps in, whether it’s hiring your first team member, fulfilling a massive order, or preparing to raise capital. Rob shares how founders can move past that fear and become truly investable by focusing on their team, their coachability, and their execution.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

• I learned that doing everything myself isn’t a badge of honor—it’s a bottleneck.

• Building with the right co-founder and support team changes everything.

• Scaling is a process, not a leap—it’s one rung at a time.

• Investors care more about execution and coachability than just a flashy pitch.

• My fear is valid, but it shouldn’t drive the strategy.

SOLO SECTION

This week, I sat down with an extraordinary guest—Rob Matzkin, a serial entrepreneur who has founded over 16 companies and achieved multiple successful exits. Rob isn’t just a business strategist—he’s a true visionary who knows what it takes to scale, lead, and build companies that thrive, even in the face of serious adversity.

We dive deep into how to scale your business with clarity, courage, and focus, and Rob doesn’t hold back. From turning his dyslexia into a superpower to breaking free of the "Superman Syndrome" that traps so many founders, Rob’s story is both inspiring and actionable.

• I can’t scale alone. Rob reminds me (and you) that bringing on the right co-founder or team is essential—not just for growth, but for mental clarity and sustainability.

• I need to stop doing everything myself. The "I can do it all better" mindset is a growth killer. Delegation is leadership, not weakness.

• Clarity is power. Rob's step-by-step ladder method for identifying gaps in your business has changed how I view scaling.

• Investors look for more than just your idea. Team, coachability, and your ability to execute are what open doors (and wallets).

• I’m not the only one who feels fear. Rob normalizes the fear that comes with growth—hiring, scaling, funding—and shows how mindset shifts can move us forward.

We also explore what makes a business investable, how Rob structures his onboarding strategy sessions, and how he turned a simple conversation with a friend into a lifelong calling to help others scale.

Plus, at the end of the episode, I share my Tool of the Week—a podcasting lifesaver that simplifies editing, content creation, and repurposing: Descript. If tech overwhelms you, you’ll love this tip.
