Episode Summary:

Lyndsay Dowd sits down with Katrena Friel, a business mentor with over 25 years of coaching and leadership experience, TEDx speaker, and award-winning author, to unpack why most entrepreneurs are sitting on income streams they've never touched. Katrena shares the painful $30,000 lesson that launched her coaching career, then breaks down her framework for building seven (really eight) streams of revenue from expertise people already have — from books and speaking to training, coaching, mentoring, facilitating, consulting, and franchising. She also walks through her 90-day "done for you" program that turns an idea into a full business ecosystem, describes her ideal client, and closes with advice on thinking bigger about what a fulfilling business and life can look like.

Key Takeaways:

- Most experienced professionals already have enough knowledge to build multiple income streams — they just don't know it.

- A costly mistake or bad experience can become the turning point that pushes you toward your real path.

- A personal brand isn't just being an influencer — it's a business built around your expertise.

- There are seven (plus a bonus eighth) income streams available to experts: book/e-book, speaking (paid and unpaid), training, coaching, mentoring, facilitating, consulting, and franchising.

- Writing a book builds credibility and positions you as an expert, even if it isn't a major revenue source on its own.

212: From Marvel to the Metaverse: How to Build What Doesn't Exist Yet with Matt Edelman Jul 15, 2026

Show notes

Matt Edelman serves as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, with responsibility for the company's strategy, capital allocation, operations, and long-term growth. Appointed CEO in April 2025 after serving as President and Chief Commercial Officer, Matt architected a comprehensive corporate restructuring, strengthening the company's balance sheet and raising more than $26 million in six months, culminating in a $20 million private placement in October 2025. Prior to his appointment as CEO, Matt drove more than 20x revenue growth, led multiple M&A transactions, oversaw hundreds of brand partnerships, supported the company's successful NASDAQ IPO, and helped establish Super League as a defining force in the emerging category of playable media.

To know more about Matt visit his LinkedIn: @mattedelman

Episode Summary:

Matt Edelman has spent over 30 years at the intersection of media, gaming, and emerging tech — starting at Marvel in the 1990s, helping launch Marvel.com, moving through WME/IMG's global live-events business, and now leading Super League as its Chairman, CEO, and President. In this conversation, Matt walks through his "meandering" career path, what it took to raise $26 million while restructuring Super League from an esports company into a platform that helps brands reach the "gamified consumer," and the leadership lessons he's picked up along the way — from building trust with his team to spotting emerging categories before they have a name.

Key Takeaways:

- Follow where you can have impact, not just what's exciting

- More people play video games than watch sports

- Reframe the audience to shift perception

- Trust is a leader's most important asset

- Curiosity drives good leadership, but it needs a check

- Younger generations are wired for gamified experiences

- Build a personal board of advisors

210: You Broke Free. So Why Does It Feel Like a New Cage? with Keren Eldad Jul 01, 2026

Show notes

Keren Eldad (Coach Keren), Executive Coach to elite performers, Bestselling Author of GILDED, and Host of COACHED

Keren Eldad is not just an executive coach—she is someone who climbed the highest rungs of ambition, lost everything she thought mattered, and rebuilt a life that finally felt like her own. Before becoming one of the most recognized voices in high-performance transformation, Keren was a picture of outward success—married, living in Zurich, running a career that sparkled on paper. From the outside, she had "made it."

Episode Summary:

Keren Eldad returns to Heartbeat for Hire as a repeat guest to dive deep into what happens after the breakthrough. While doing the personal work is essential, the real challenge is sustaining who you become and not slipping back into old patterns. Keren explores the concept of "identity dissolution"—breaking free from the patterns and identities that have defined you throughout your life. She reveals why success is actually harder to survive than failure, why insight alone isn't enough without identity-level change, and why high performers unconsciously rebuild their own cages even after doing transformational work. This episode is for anyone who's had breakthroughs but struggled to make them stick.

Key Takeaways:

- Breaking free requires resolving underlying patterns

- Success is harder to survive than failure

- Insight without identity integration is just borrowed confidence

- Overachievers are addicts

- High performers rebuild their cages

- Find your reference group

In this episode, host Lyndsay Dowd sits down with Meghann Conter, CEO and Visionary of The Dames — the only global business accelerator connecting women at the top of six, seven, and eight-figure businesses. Meghann shares how she went from running a marketing agency and hustling five nights a week just to fill her pipeline, to building a thriving peer community rooted in radical collaboration, intentional growth, and joy.

She introduces The Dames' core philosophy: move beyond referrals and networking to become true "power partners" and "golden geese" for one another.

- Pick one or two rooms — and go deep

- Right scaling beats just scaling

- Stop chasing golden eggs; find your golden geese
