  Sep 23, 202653 minS3

  Hey, it's Cindy, send me a text, get in touch! [INDIGENOUS ENTREPRENEURSHIP] [BEAUTY] [PURPOSE] In this episode of The Fearless Entrepreneurs Podcast, host Cindy Chang sits down with Jenn Harper, founder and CEO of Cheekbone Beauty, to talk about building a multi-million-dollar beauty brand rooted in Indigenous representation, sustainability, and purpose. Jenn shares how a dream in 2015 sparked the idea for Cheekbone Beauty and how her journey through sobriety, healing, and reconnecting with her Indigenous roots helped shape the company’s mission. She opens up about starting with no beauty-industry experience, learning through early mistakes, receiving pivotal feedback from Sephora, and eventually building an in-house lab to develop high-performance, sustainable products of their own. Jenn also discusses leadership, building a values-driven team, listening to customers, and why transparency and community trust are essential to the brand. At its core, Cheekbone Beauty is about more than makeup. It is about Indigenous representation, creating opportunities for future generations, and showing others what is possible when purpose and entrepreneurship come together.

  Danielle Amos - Founder of Danielle Amos Consulting

  Aug 26, 202657 minS31

  Hey, it's Cindy, send me a text, get in touch! [SELF-IMAGE] [MONEY MINDSET] [ENTREPRENEURSHIP] In this episode of The Fearless Entrepreneurs Podcast, host Cindy Chang sits down with Danielle Amos, the Mystic Millionaire Mentor, to explore the inner patterns that shape our income, opportunities, and outer results. Danielle shares how she went from being $100,000 in debt and working a corporate job she hated to building a million-dollar business. The shift began when she stopped relying on hard work alone and started examining her self-image, beliefs, and daily focus. Influenced by Bob Proctor’s teachings, Danielle learned to take radical responsibility for her results and recognize how closely her outer world reflected what was happening internally. She shares the first practice that began changing everything: intentionally looking for what was working instead of constantly focusing on what was wrong. Danielle also opens up about the sacrifices growth required. She had to let go of complaining, accept changes in her social circle, and make investments before she felt completely financially ready. She traces many of her early beliefs about money back to growing up with teen parents, financial stress, and a family culture shaped by scarcity. Cindy and Danielle explore why earning more money does not always create lasting change. Without a shift in identity, people often return to a familiar financial “set point,” regardless of how much they earn in a particularly successful month or season. Danielle breaks identity change down into a practical framework: aligning your thoughts, feelings, and actions with the version of yourself who already has the result you desire. She also explains the purpose behind the luxury shopping experiences she facilitates with clients. These exercises bring beliefs about self-worth, belonging, desire, and fear to the surface in real time—including her well-known Louis Vuitton scarf exercise and 10x investment rule. The conversation also explores the emotional wobble that can follow a bold decision. Danielle explains why regret and fear do not automatically mean the decision was wrong, and how coaching, communication, community, and accountability can help you remain connected to possibility. Danielle shares what she means when she says “culture is currency,” why radical responsibility shapes the people and opportunities in your life, and how women can build businesses, families, and identities that reflect what they truly want. The episode closes with an honest conversation about motherhood, having it all, and Danielle’s Momentum Summit for women who are growing their businesses while becoming the next version of themselves.

  Britt Holmes - Merit Media

  Aug 12, 202654 minS3

  Hey, it's Cindy, send me a text, get in touch! [BUSINESS DESIGN] [BURNOUT] [ENTREPRENEURSHIP] [#50] In this episode of The Fearless Entrepreneurs Podcast, host Cindy Chang sits down with agency founder Britt [LAST NAME] to talk about building a successful business that supports your life instead of consuming it. After experiencing burnout in the corporate world, Britt realized that the way she had been working was unsustainable. The problem went beyond workload. She was forcing herself to fit into an environment and professional identity that did not reflect who she was or how she worked best. When she started her own agency, she made a different choice. Britt designed the business around school pickup, gym time, meeting-free days, and Fridays off. Flexibility was built into the company from the beginning, allowing her to grow without sacrificing her health, family, or freedom along the way. In this episode, Britt shares why efficiency often creates a better client experience than constant communication. Instead of filling calendars with unnecessary meetings, her agency uses scheduling links, dashboards, and concise email updates to remove friction and keep clients informed. She also explains why pricing is about more than numbers. While many agencies charge a percentage of their clients’ advertising spend, Britt uses a flat-fee model. This allows her to recommend increasing, reducing, or pausing a client’s budget without her own compensation influencing the advice. Britt also discusses the importance of making expertise easy to understand. Great operators do not need to hide behind jargon, inflated resumes, or complicated explanations. They understand the work well enough to explain it clearly and help decision-makers act on it. When it comes to hiring, Britt focuses on buying back time instead of simply filling seats. She would rather hire experienced specialists who can think independently, exercise good judgment, and solve problems than build a larger team that requires constant oversight. From burnout and business architecture to pricing, hiring, client experience, and the power of asking directly for what you want, Britt’s story challenges many of the assumptions founders are taught to accept. This episode is for agency owners, service-based entrepreneurs, working parents, business leaders, and anyone who wants to build a profitable company without becoming trapped inside it. If you have ever wondered whether your business can grow while still protecting your time, energy, health, and relationships, Britt’s journey is proof that success can be designed differently. Tune in to learn how Britt built a leaner, more honest, and more sustainable agency—and why creating the life you want should be part of the business plan from day one.

Linda shares how her personal experiences, diverse corporate background, and partnership with her co-founder sparked the idea for Joni.

From motherhood and community-building to legislative progress and the future of sustainable period care, Linda’s journey is a powerful example of how entrepreneurs can use business to challenge industry norms and create meaningful change. This episode is for product founders, social-impact entrepreneurs, advocates, parents, business leaders, and anyone interested in building a company that balances growth with purpose. If you have ever wondered what it takes to transform a deeply traditional industry, Linda’s story is a reminder that innovation starts by asking better questions, listening to lived experiences, and refusing to accept outdated systems as permanent.
