  • Build Wealth Outside Your Business: Cash-Flowing Rental Real Estate for Women Entrepreneurs
    Jan 2 2026

    What if reinvesting every dollar back into your business is actually the riskiest wealth strategy you could choose?

    So many high-achieving women are told, “Just pour it all back into the business and it’ll pay off later.” The problem? When revenue dips, launches flop, or you decide to exit, you’re stuck with a beautiful brand… and no cashflow outside it. One slow season and suddenly you’re stressed, scrambling, or forcing yourself into opportunities you don’t really want—because your business is your only source of income.

    In this episode, Leti pulls back the curtain on how she built meaningful wealth outside her businesses using cash-flowing rental real estate—and how you can start doing the same. She breaks down Robert Kiyosaki’s definition of true assets vs. liabilities, the six ways real estate pays you, why it’s often easier than building another startup, and how ultra–high net worth investors think about diversification so they don’t just get rich… they stay rich.


    BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

    ✅ Insight #1: Why relying on a single income stream—your business—is a hidden risk, and how cashflowing assets like rental properties can cover your monthly needs even when your business hits a lull or you decide to walk away.

    ✅ Strategy #2: The six ways real estate grows your wealth (cashflow, principal paydown, immediate equity, forced appreciation, tax savings, and market appreciation), plus how Leti used tools like the real estate professional status and short-term rental strategies to dramatically reduce taxes on W2, 1099, and even business income.

    ✅ Mindset shift #3: How to think like the ultra-wealthy by using focus to build wealth and diversification to preserve it—including Ray Dalio’s concept of uncorrelated assets and Keith Cunningham’s reminder that “the goal isn’t just to get rich, it’s to stay rich.” You’ll walk away ready to peel profit off the top of your business and start intentionally building your own “cashflow machine” on the side.

  • How to Manage People, Not Just Tasks: Leadership, Difficult Conversations & Team Performance for Women Entrepreneurs
    Dec 10 2025

    What if the “people problems” in your business aren’t actually about your team at all—but about managing humans like tasks instead of whole, complex people?

    🚧 As women scale to 6 and 7+ figures, team drama, dropped balls, and underperformance can quietly become the biggest source of burnout. You’re hiring fast, expectations live half in your head, feedback feels awkward, and every tough conversation feels like it might “break” the relationship. Managing people starts to feel heavy… so you avoid it, over-function, and do more yourself.

    🔑 In this episode, Dr. Leti Alto and Beyara’s Head of Business, Laurie Wintonick, break down a different way to lead: one rooted in curiosity, clarity, and truly knowing what drives your people. From the exact interview question Laurie uses to understand a hire on day one, to real scripts for hard conversations, to how she turned a resistant employee into a raving fan, this conversation gives you a practical framework for managing people with both backbone and heart.


    BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

    ✅ Insight #1: Why managing people is completely different from managing tasks—and how tools like DISC, “Understanding Myself,” and one powerful interview question help you really see who you’re hiring and how to lead them.

    ✅ Strategy #2: A step-by-step way to handle underperformance without blowing up the relationship—from setting clear, measurable expectations, to using “what” questions instead of “why,” to co-creating a 30–45 day turnaround plan that 80% of the right people can actually meet.

    ✅ Mindset shift #3: How to stop taking team issues personally and start seeing them as solvable patterns—using curiosity, customized communication, and what truly motivates each person (time, money, recognition, titles, flexibility) so you can build a culture where people feel seen, stay longer, and perform at a higher level.

  • Burn the Boats: Amy Porterfield on Money, Freedom, and Systems That Scale
    Nov 26 2025

    What if the only thing between you and a wildly profitable, freedom-filled business isn’t a better strategy… but the courage to finally burn the boats?

    So many high-achieving women stay in golden handcuffs—holding onto the “safe” job, undercharging, overworking, and telling themselves they’ll feel ready once they’re more confident or have more money saved. Meanwhile, their business stays stuck in the messy middle: half-built, full of potential, and quietly draining their energy.

    In this conversation, Leti sits down with online business powerhouse Amy Porterfield—who’s generated over $120 million in revenue across 16 years—to talk about what it really takes to go from corporate employee to CEO, claim your desire to be rich, and build a business that runs on systems instead of stress. Amy shares how she left Tony Robbins’ company, why her first launch made just $267, how she broke through the fear of asking for “as much money as possible,” and the simple systems and structures that now support her 20-person team and 4-day workweek.

    If you’ve ever wondered when to finally leave your job, how to stop building from scarcity, or what systems actually matter as you scale — this episode will feel like a deep exhale and a loving but firm nudge forward.


    BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

    ✅ Why courage—not confidence—is what actually gets you out of your 9–5 and into entrepreneurship (and how Amy made the leap even with tons of doubt and a “sexy” job she could’ve stayed in forever)

    ✅ How to shift from money shame and scarcity to true abundance—including the real stories behind Amy’s first $30K launch, her “something bad has to happen” belief, and the exact practices and support she used to rewrite her money story

    ✅ The simple systems that protect your time, team, and energy as you scale—from project management rules to meeting cadences and the structure that makes a 4-day workweek possible
