Leadership clarity is the difference between working hard and actually moving the business forward.

In this episode, we break down why many capable leaders still feel stuck—and how closing the clarity gap leads to stronger decisions, aligned teams, and sustainable growth.

This conversation is for:

• Business owners who feel stretched but not scaling
• Leaders and managers navigating complexity and competing priorities
• Executives who want clearer strategy without more noise

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why strategy is often mistaken for tactics
• How unclear markets, products, and messaging slow execution
• Why leadership isn’t about being the hero—but removing friction
• How clarity improves alignment, confidence, and momentum

If you’ve ever wondered, “How do I know the thing I’m doing my best at is actually the best thing to do?”—this episode will challenge and sharpen your thinking.

We’re at Christmas — and this episode is short, practical, and immediately usable.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by goal setting, struggled to execute, or watched goals stall out, this episode is for you.

In this Christmas Eve episode of the Business Building Blocks Podcast, Kristina Schmitt shares the simplest goal-execution process she’s ever used — one that focuses less on planning and more on actually getting things done.

You’ll learn:

• Why goal setting isn’t the problem — execution is
• How to break big goals into tiny, doable steps
• How leaders can coach execution without micromanaging
• Why momentum comes from five-minute wins

This process works at work, at home, and even with kids.

Listen, apply it immediately, and start the new year with clarity and momentum.

Every leader eventually faces this moment — the moment you realize a team member might not be the right fit.

You’re frustrated. You’re drained. You’re questioning yourself. And you’re wondering:

“Do I keep helping… or is it time to let them go?”

In this episode, Kristina breaks down a practical 3-step framework to help leaders make this gut-wrenching decision with confidence and compassion.

You’ll learn:
✔ How to separate feelings from facts
✔ Why your belief about someone’s potential matters more than you think
✔ The real impact of values alignment (or misalignment)
✔ How to evaluate progress, effort, and your own capacity as a leader
✔ The signs you’re “managing around” someone — not managing them

This episode is both refreshing and uncomfortable — in the best way — especially if you’re carrying the emotional weight of this decision right now.
