None of Your Business

Hey everyone! It’s just me today, going solo to talk about something I’ve been reflecting on a lot lately, how life actually got better in my 30s. When I was in my 20s, everything felt like a race. I was constantly chasing goals, people, and opportunities because I thought that was what success looked like. But somewhere along the way, I realized that peace, focus, and health feel a lot more like real success than chaos ever did. In this episode, I’m sharing some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned so far, what I let go of, what I started prioritizing, and how my mindset changed when I stopped trying to do everything all at once. Here’s what I’m diving into today: Why health became my biggest leverage in my 30s How simplicity helped me attract more of what’s right for me The difference between doing more and doing what actually matters How curating my relationships gave me peace Why joy became my measure of success instead of hustle The freedom that comes when you finally stop comparing yourself to others In my 20s, I used to think I had to keep saying yes to everything to move forward. Now I see that saying no, strategically and kindly, was one of the best things I ever learned. I found that my 30s weren’t about slowing down. They were about leveling up with more grace and less noise. If you’re in a season where things feel uncertain or if you’ve been questioning your pace, I hope this episode reminds you that you’re exactly where you need to be. Growth doesn’t always look loud or busy. Sometimes it looks like resting, letting go, and trusting that what’s meant for you will stay.

Karla Singson sits down with Hannah Blancas, a brand visibility strategist, for a conversation about how introverts and extroverts approach business differently and how both can succeed. Hannah’s work focuses on helping entrepreneurs build visibility without burning out, especially those who do not feel comfortable being loud online. From her years of coaching, she has seen how introverts often wait until they have carefully crafted their message before showing up, while extroverts thrive by gaining momentum and staying visible even when things are not perfect. Both approaches can work when you know how to lean into your natural strengths. In this episode, you will learn: The surprising advantages introverts have when it comes to building genuine trust with clients Why extroverts gain traction through visibility while introverts win through depth and strategy Practical tips for networking, even if small talk feels uncomfortable How one thoughtful compliment can leave a lasting impression Why listening well is one of the most powerful business skills The mindset shift introverts need to stop hiding and start leading with confidence The most intriguing part is Hannah’s belief that introverts are not at a disadvantage at all. Their depth, intentionality, and ability to connect one-on-one may be the exact qualities that allow them to stand out in a noisy digital world. Karla and Hannah also share personal stories, from lighthearted chicken wing compliments to chance encounters at the gym, to show that visibility is not about being flashy but about showing up in ways that feel true to who you are. If you have ever felt that business success is only for the loudest person in the room, this conversation will challenge that idea. You will leave with practical tools to network, grow your visibility, and use your personality type as an advantage rather than a limitation.

Hey everyone! Today I'm sitting down with two of my closest friends here in Playa del Carmen for a conversation that hits different.  We're talking about something most entrepreneurs struggle with but rarely discuss openly: the difference between self-confidence and self-esteem. Meet Ray Blakney, a Filipino-American entrepreneur, and his wife Laura Ramirez Blakney, a Mexican-born language educator. Over the past 18 years, they've built over 20 profitable companies, sold 4 of them, and taken multiple to multi-seven-figure success, including their global language-learning platform Live Lingua. Their newest venture, Online School Builders, helps experts turn their knowledge into thriving online schools. What We Talked About: Ray shares a mentor's definition that completely shifted his perspective: self-confidence is believing you can do anything; self-esteem is believing you don't have to.  When scammers destroyed his business, his high self-confidence couldn't save him from an identity crisis. We dive into what depression actually looked like for both of them, how Laura's cultural approach helped pull Ray through his darkest moments, and why high-powered executives have the exact same self-doubts as everyone else (they just act anyway). Plus, we explore their "wisdom to wealth" philosophy and how they help experienced professionals turn their knowledge into profitable schools. My Favorite Insight: Laura's approach to supporting Ray wasn't just cultural, it was strategic. She reminded him he was more than his business success, gave him space to process, then literally created action plans on giant sticky notes to pull his intellectual side back online. This conversation reminded me why I love talking about the non-business side of business. Success isn't just about confidence. It's about knowing you're worthy even when everything falls apart.   Connect with Ray & Laura: Website: onlineschoolbuilders.com  Free workshops and community access available Join their newsletter for practical courses from 7 and 8-figure school builders Thanks to Proximity Outsourcing for sponsoring this episode!

What happens when the children of the country’s most powerful families flaunt ₱700,000 dinners and designer bags online—while ordinary Filipinos wade through floods? In this episode of None of Your Business, Karla Singson sits down with journalist and PR professional Jesse Boga to unpack the cultural, political, and media machine behind the rise of these “influencers.”Together, they ask: Why can’t some wealthy people stop oversharing their excess? With all their money, why do they skip basic PR training? How did we get to a point where flaunting wealth became influence? Why does society admire inherited privilege instead of real value-creators? And is a revolution what it will take to finally fix this broken system? As honest taxpayers, how do we feel about all these questionable sources of wealth from "government contractors"? This is not your typical conversation on wealth and power. This is a raw look at how media, corruption, and blind aspiration collide, and why Filipinos deserve better role models. If you’ve ever wondered why we follow people who don’t truly serve us, or what it would take to redirect admiration toward real builders and leaders, this episode will leave you fired up and thinking differently. Listen now, and let’s talk about the uncomfortable truths behind the glitter.For comments and further discussion, comment to this episode, or connect with Karla here: Karla's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/karlastefan/Karla's Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/karlasingson.official
