In this candid episode, Ashley Campos—entrepreneur, CEO, and mom—joins us to challenge the outdated belief that women must choose between career ambition and motherhood. Ashley shares her personal turning point that redefined how she leads both at home and in business. From scaling a company in the demanding food and logistics industries to being fully present as a mother, Ashley breaks down how integrating roles instead of compartmentalizing them can be a game-changer.
We unpack myths around virtual teams, explore the realities of burnout, and get honest about what "balance" really looks like. If you're trying to grow a business and raise a family, this is your sign to stop apologizing and start redefining success on your terms.
About the Guest:
Ashley Campos is the co-founder of Global Connect Solutions, a company that helps scale operational efficiency through virtual assistants across high-pressure industries like food service and logistics. She’s also part of the leadership team at Delivered. Beyond business, Ashley is a mother of two who openly shares the messy, rewarding reality of doing both roles well—and not perfectly. Her story is one of grace, grit, and building systems that work for life, not just profit.
Key Takeaways:
-
Balancing leadership and motherhood is less about time management and more about value alignment.
-
Outsourcing doesn’t mean losing control—it means building capacity for growth.
-
You don’t have to do everything perfectly; 90% done by someone else can be better than 100% done by you.
-
Creating memories with your children can be just as important as closing a deal.
-
High-performing teams thrive when leaders build for the future, not just the now.

In this episode of BizBlend, host Sana talks with Oreet Kaufman, a former corporate trainer turned PowerPoint design expert. With over 20 years of experience, Oreet reveals why most presentations fail—not due to lack of information, but because of too much of it. She unpacks her concept of “word dieting,” shares a real-world case where her redesign helped a startup raise $1.3M, and explains why good slide design is more critical than ever in our distracted, remote world. From font choices to visual storytelling, this episode is a masterclass in purposeful presentation.
About the Guest:
Oreet Kaufman is the founder of OC Designs, a presentation design firm focused on transforming dry, complex content into impactful visual stories. After two decades in corporate training, she now helps clients—from startups to Fortune 500s—craft investor decks, sales presentations, and internal communications that inspire action. Her work blends design thinking, audience psychology, and clear messaging to make every slide count.
Key Takeaways:
-
“Word dieting” isn’t about cutting words—it’s about amplifying meaning. Less truly is more.
-
AI and templates are helpful, but human insight and storytelling still make or break a deck.
-
Effective presentations today demand clarity, minimalism, and strategic visuals.
-
A well-designed pitch deck can literally raise millions—Oreet’s did.
-
Great slides aren’t decoration—they’re communication tools that must serve a clear purpose.

In this episode of BizBlend, we unpack the hidden drivers behind high-performance burnout with leadership and peak performance coach Charles Browne. A former nuclear attack submarine warfare veteran and author of The Pursuit of Identity and Purpose, Charles explains why checking all the boxes often leaves high achievers feeling empty. We explore the concept of identity misalignment, the illusion of hustle, fear-based decisions in leadership, and how emotional intelligence is essential—but often neglected—in scaling personal and professional growth. Charles delivers practical steps for reconnecting with your core self and identifying when your success is sabotaging your fulfillment.
About the Guest:
Charles Browne is a leadership coach, military veteran, and the author of The Pursuit of Identity and Purpose. Through his coaching practice, Charles helps leaders identify core misalignments between their work and values, so they can avoid burnout, reclaim clarity, and lead with authenticity.
Key Takeaways:
-
Burnout often stems from early misalignment, not overwork.
-
Entrepreneurs confuse hustle with mastery, but without identity alignment, success feels hollow.
-
Fear-driven decisions, masked as logic, erode confidence and leadership integrity.
-
True growth begins with an "identity audit"—a deep dive into who you were before expectations took over.
-
Emotional intelligence is not optional for leaders—it’s the foundation of sustainable decision-making.

In this episode of BizBlend, host Sana sits down with Mike Milan, known as “Cashflow Mike,” to discuss how entrepreneurs can eliminate anxiety and chaos by learning the language of numbers. Author of Don’t Tell Me What to Do, Mike shares how understanding financial statements—beyond just profit and loss—can transform business decisions and mental health. From decoding the emotional side of cash flow to applying techniques like verbal judo in financial conversations, this episode reframes business finance as a tool for empowerment, not fear.
About the Guest:
Mike Milan, also known as Cashflow Mike, is a financial literacy advocate, business educator, and author of Don’t Tell Me What to Do.

A former State Trooper turned financial strategist, he combines street-smart experience with executive insight.
Key Takeaways:
-
Financial statements are more than reports—they're reflections of every decision made in your business.
-
Entrepreneurs often fear the unknown in their finances more than the reality itself.
-
Set points in money mindset can limit growth—raising them is part of building transitional wealth.
-
Emotions like pride and shame influence financial decisions as much as the numbers.
