Feeling stuck between scaling your business and maintaining your sanity? This quick-hit snack episode has exactly what you need. In this special takeover edition, we handed the mic to two attendees from the Creative Educator Conference and asked them to share one powerful piece of advice for fellow entrepreneurs and educators.

First up, you’ll hear from Nata Salvatori from the Accidental CEO podcast, who drops the truth about the underestimated power of delegation. Then, business coach Christi Johnson reminds us of the absolute necessity of defining your own version of success—before diving headfirst into strategy mode.

The attendees at the Creative Educator Conference aren’t just participants—they’re passionate, experienced entrepreneurs and educators who are actively doing the work, navigating the same challenges, and achieving real wins in real time. Their perspectives are grounded in lived experience, not just theory, which makes their insights incredibly valuable to others walking a similar path.

We hand the mic to them because peer-to-peer wisdom is powerful; these are voices that represent the pulse of our community. By spotlighting their stories and strategies, we not only honor their expertise but also create space for authentic, relatable advice that resonates on a deeper level.

Nata, host of the Accidental CEO podcast, encourages entrepreneurs to embrace delegation not as a luxury but as a strategic necessity. She reminds us that delegation is the key to scaling your business without burning out.

“Think about delegation as a strategy, not just an expense.”

When we treat delegation as a core function of growth, we free ourselves up to do the work that really matters.

Christi Johnson, a passionate business coach, brings a more introspective reminder: know your version of success before building your strategy. She calls out the common trap of copying strategies without ensuring they’re aligned with your purpose.

“We can’t build a sustainable business if we don’t know what ‘success’ feels like to us.”

This advice is especially critical for creatives and educators often caught between ambition and authenticity.
