  • The Offer Ladder: How to Scale Your Service Business with AI and Automation, with Sarah Watz
    Dec 5 2025

    Are you a business owner who feels like you are drowning in manual, repetitive tasks? In this episode of Conquer the Chaos, we are joined by Sarah Watz, Co-Founder of Business Heroes®, to discuss how to move from overwhelm to clarity and action.

    We dive deep into the specific strategies that allow service-based businesses, like coaches and consultants, to free up time immediately. Sarah shares her expertise on Keap and automation tools, revealing the biggest mistakes entrepreneurs make when they first invest in software and how to ensure you get a real return on that investment.

    In this episode, we cover:
    • SOPs to SAPs: How to convert Standard Operating Procedures into Standard Automated Procedures.
    • The Human Touch: How to use automation to build relationships rather than creating distance between you and your clients.
    • AI as a Teammate: "Onboarding" AI to help conquer the chaos of marketing and sales.
    • The Offer Ladder: Guiding potential customers from small engagements to premium services without being pushy.
    • Beyond Marketing: Using automation for operations and team management to scale your impact.

    Sarah Watz is a business coach, international speaker, and the co-founder of Business Heroes®, dedicated to empowering service-based entrepreneurs to grow with clarity, structure and a powerful client experience. With a career that spans leadership roles, digital agency ownership and strategic consultancy, Sarah now runs three businesses and brings decades of insight to the entrepreneurs she guides.

    Her signature framework, the Business Heroes Grid, acts as an operating system for business growth, helping founders map what's working, plug leaks, and build client journeys that scale. She also speaks and trains globally on entrepreneurship, AI, automation, and leadership, helping business owners simplify delivery, reclaim time, and build a business they love.

    She was honoured as MVP of the Year 2024 by Keap (now Thryv) in the UK/EMEA region.

    Her signature program, Business Heroes® Academy, is a global online mentorship and training program helping service-based entrepreneurs grow their business with clarity, structure and AI-powered systems.

    Sarah hosts the Boost Your Business podcast where she pulls back the curtain on what truly moves growth: intentional structure, strategic execution and human-centred service.

  • Mindset Over Everything: A Leader's Framework for Conquering Chaos, with Dobbin Buck
    Oct 3 2025

    What is the single most critical factor that separates thriving entrepreneurs from those who remain stuck in the chaos? It isn't strategy, funding, or market timing—it's mindset.

    In this episode of Conquer the Chaos, Clate Mask sits down with Dobbin Buck, Co-owner of GetUWired. Dobbin shares his direct and powerful story of rebuilding his life from the absolute bottom—homeless and in a hospital—to becoming the leader of a successful agency. It's a practical lesson in the power of mindset.

    This conversation moves past theory and into the real, day-to-day work of developing the mental toughness required to succeed in business.

    In this episode, you will learn:
    • The critical difference between a destructive ego and true self-confidence.
    • The framework Dobbin used to go from a place of desperation to a life of purpose and success.
    • Daily practices like meditation and cold plunging that build the clarity needed for effective leadership.
    • How to observe your thoughts to gain control, instead of being controlled by them.
    • How to build a resilient culture where your team feels safe to "fail forward" and grow.

    If you are working to manage the chaos of running your business, this episode provides a clear path to regaining control by strengthening your mindset.
