<p>Get ready for some real CEO girl talk, I’m sharing a live podcast we recorded on night one of our recent Elevate Retreat. Our incredible Head of Systems, Katy Widrick is back interviewing me  and nothing was off limits. We get into my predictions for what will set businesses apart in 2026, if I ever feel lonely running my business and how to overcome judgment from the people closest to you. I also share the mindset shifts that made 2025 my most joyful year, the fears I still work through behind the scenes, and the standards I’ve had to raise to build a wildly profitable business that still feels like a life. You’ll hear a new way I’m thinking about visibility, what I’m doing differently with AI, and why dreaming bigger always comes with a cost… but the payoff is worth it.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>In This Episode, You Will Learn</b></p><ul><li>A clear direction for 2026 and what will matter most as the market shifts.</li><li>What to do when you get judged for leveling up.</li><li>A powerful standard to adopt as a leader (and a parent) that promotes personal responsibility vs dependence.</li><li>The biggest mistake business owners are making with AI today (and what to do instead.)</li><li>The hidden reason you may feel lonely in business.</li><li>One simple way to build REAL confidence, in moments.</li></ul><p><br /></p><p><b>Resources + Links</b><br /></p><p>Want the behind the scenes playbook of building a 6-Figure per MONTH funnel? <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://nicoleculver.co/secret" target="_blank">Download it HERE! </a></p><p><br /></p><p>Struggling to get premium buyers from your evergreen funnel?<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://nicoleculver.co/instantdemandpodcast?utm_source=ig&amp;utm_medium=social&amp;utm_content=link_in_bio&amp;fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGn3skzeyTbS_bJC1jkMqOjxqUyk9IF2i-jQh9sJ80NBqvqRmKJqna1YorHezE_aem_tWVvP0aWeUTziWgh5zxbWw" target="_blank"> Listen to this secret podcast!</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Find more resources on our website <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://nicoleculver.co" target="_blank">nicoleculver.co</a></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Follow</b></p><p></p><p>Nicole on IG: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/nicoleculver/" target="_blank">@nicoleculver</a></p>
