Business Origin Stories for Entrepreneurs, Coaches, and Leaders
Send us Fan Mail What does it take to build a million-dollar business while raising a family, and what happens when the business you built enters an entirely new season? Crystalee Beck knows both sides of that story. She is the owner of Comma Copywriters, a content growth partner now focused on healthcare companies, and The Mama Ladder, an organization helping women create and climb their own ladders as mothers and entrepreneurs. A major part of that mission is the High Five Grant for Moms, a business grant competition for mom-owned companies that Crystalee and The Mama Ladder have hosted since 2018. To date, the High Five Grant has awarded $115,000 in grants to 80 women in business, with that total expected to reach $138,000 after the current round. More than 2,500 women have applied, and the program has also provided more than $43,000 in goods and services. In this episode of Business Origin Stories, Crystalee shares why access to capital for women matters so deeply to her, what she has learned from the women who have gone through the grant process, and why the impact extends beyond the women who ultimately receive funding. We also get into Crystalee’s own evolving business story. After seven consecutive years of growth, Comma experienced its first down year as longtime clients in B2B tech and SaaS struggled and contracts disappeared. Now Crystalee and her team are repositioning the company around healthcare while she works on The Mother’s Guide to Building a Million Dollar Business . In this conversation, we talk about: How the High Five Grant is helping mom-owned businesses access capital and pursue growth Why Crystalee originally decided to build a business around time and money freedom What reaching $1 million in revenue actually required How she is navigating Comma’s shift into healthcare Why reaching a major business milestone does not guarantee continued growth What she has learned about separating business performance from personal identity Why she is interviewing 100 mothers with million-dollar-plus businesses for her upcoming book If you are building a company, navigating a pivot, or trying to create a business that supports the life you actually want to live, this conversation offers a candid look at what growth can really require.

Business Origin Stories for Entrepreneurs, Coaches, and Leaders
Send us Fan Mail Technology can help an organization move faster. But what happens when the people expected to use that technology aren’t moving with it? Tres Roeder , president of Roeder Consulting, has spent 25 years helping organizations decide what matters and get important initiatives done. His philosophy sounds simple: do fewer things better. But getting those things done requires more than timelines, software, budgets, and project plans. In this episode of Business Origin Stories, Tres shares how his own approach to project management evolved after he realized that the technical side of execution was only part of the equation. Early in his business, Tres focused heavily on project mechanics. Then a colleague pointed out something he had completely missed during a project meeting: a vice president was quietly signaling that he wanted Tres’s project eliminated. The project was eventually killed. It was an important lesson. Execution depends on understanding people, personalities, organizational politics, emotions, and the things leaders don’t always say directly. That lesson feels particularly relevant as companies rush to determine where AI belongs inside their organizations. Tres argues for “talent over technology.” Rather than building implementation plans solely around technical requirements, he encourages leaders to create a parallel human timeline that gives people an opportunity to understand, test, influence, and ultimately adopt new technology. In this conversation, Amy and Tres discuss: Why organizations often have more strategic initiatives than they can effectively manage What it means to “do fewer things better” Why alignment is the first requirement for successful execution How a human timeline can improve technology adoption Why there isn’t one perfect process for every project Where AI can support project work and where human judgment remains essential Why leaders should decide how technology serves people instead of allowing people to become servants of technology Tres also shares a powerful challenge for professionals navigating AI: learn the technology, but don’t compete with the machine. Strengthen the capabilities that require humanity, judgment, listening, and an ability to notice what isn’t showing up in the data. For leaders determining how AI fits into their companies, the question isn’t simply, “What can this technology do?” It’s also, “What do we want our people to do?” Connect: Roeder Consulting: roederconsulting.com Instagram: @amyschutte_ Work with us: www.hudsonandco.co
