  • The CEO Standard: Why How You Show Up Determines How You Scale
    Feb 18 2026

    It really matters how you show up.

    Not just in your strategy.
    Not just in your offers.
    Not just in your prayer life.

    But in your standard.

    In this episode, I’m breaking down what I call the CEO Standard and why it directly impacts how you scale your business, increase revenue, and lead at the next level.

    If you’re a six or seven-figure woman building a faith-driven business, this conversation is going to challenge you in the best way.

    Because you don’t rise to your goals.

    You rise to your standards.

    Inside this episode, I walk you through:

    • What the CEO Standard actually means in real life
    • Why executive presence impacts trust, sales, and authority
    • How personal branding affects your revenue
    • The difference between running a hobby and leading a business
    • Why showing up intentionally changes how clients perceive you
    • How proximity and accountability raise your leadership capacity
    • The faith-driven mindset shift required to scale

    This is not about vanity. This is about ownership.

    When you show up casual, you’ll work your business casual.
    When you show up on purpose, you work your business on purpose.

    There is a difference between playing business and leading one.

    Executive Presence Is Not Optional at the Next Level

    If you want to attract higher-level clients…

    If you want to be trusted faster…

    If you want to increase your sales and step into seven-figure leadership…

    You cannot ignore how you show up.

    Your executive presence communicates before you ever open your mouth.

    How you dress.
    How you prepare.
    How you carry yourself.
    How you enter a room.

    It all speaks.

    In business, perception influences trust.
    Trust influences sales.
    Sales influence scale.

    Faith, Excellence, and Leadership

    As a Christian woman in business, excellence matters.

    Not perfection.
    Excellence.

    There is something powerful about representing your calling with intention.

    When you decide to dress the vision before you see the results, something shifts internally.

    Your confidence increases.
    Your clarity sharpens.
    Your leadership expands.

    Structure brings peace.
    Standards build trust.
    Intentionality multiplies impact.

    This episode is for you if:

    • You’re a Christian woman entrepreneur
    • You’re building a six or seven-figure business
    • You want stronger executive presence
    • You know you’re capable of more
    • You’re ready to stop playing small

    If you’ve felt like you’ve hit a ceiling, this might be the adjustment that unlocks your next level.

    You cannot expect seven-figure results with casual standards.

    Act like it’s done before it’s done.

    Show up like the leader you’re becoming.

    Raise the bar.

    Because how you show up determines how you scale.

  • No Plan B: How Obedience and Action Built an Eight-Figure Empire
    Feb 4 2026

    What if clarity doesn’t come before the leap, but because of it?

    In this powerful episode of For His Glory CEO, Ali sits down with empire builder Martha Mazor, whose story is living proof that God multiplies what you’re willing to move. From starting a childcare business in her garage as a single mom on food stamps to building an eight-figure empire, Martha shares what obedience really looks like when there’s no Plan B.

    This conversation is raw, faith-filled, and deeply grounding for high-achieving women who feel the resistance… but know they’re being called higher.

    You’ll hear why momentum builds momentum, why waiting for clarity keeps so many women stuck, and how God grows your capacity one step at a time, not all at once.

    If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by the weight of “where this could lead,” this episode will shift everything.

    Inside this episode, we cover:

    • Why God multiplies what you’re willing to start, not what you wait to perfect
    • How obedience creates clarity after movement, not before
    • The power of momentum and why small steps matter more than big plans
    • What it really looks like to build an eight-figure business without a Plan B
    • Navigating fear, resistance, and risk with God-confidence
    • Why discomfort is often confirmation you’re exactly where you should be
    • How leadership capacity is built gradually, not downloaded all at once
    • Letting go of control and trusting God with the next step, not the whole staircase

    A word for the woman who feels stuck:

    If God showed you everything upfront, you might never say yes.

    Martha shares how she would’ve been paralyzed had she known what she’d one day be responsible for and why God’s design is progressive revelation, not instant overwhelm.

    This episode is a reminder that faith without movement stays theoretical… but faith with action builds legacies.

  • No Plan B: Why Some Women Scale and Others Stay Stuck
    Jan 28 2026

    What if the thing holding you back right now isn’t strategy, talent, or discipline, but hesitation?

    In this episode, I’m breaking down what I call the No Plan B mentality, the mindset shift I see over and over again separating women who scale with confidence from those who stay stuck in fear, overthinking, and imposter syndrome.

    I’m sharing why playing it safe is often the most expensive decision you can make in business, how faith and confidence directly impact your ability to sell, and why constantly asking “what if it doesn’t work?” keeps so many women from fully stepping into what God has called them to build.

    This episode is for the woman who knows she’s capable of more but keeps hesitating. The woman who feels called yet second-guesses herself. The woman who’s tired of circling the same ideas and is ready to move with conviction.

    ✨ In This Episode, I Cover:

    • Why a No Plan B mentality changes how you show up, sell, and scale
    • How fear, imposter syndrome, and “what if” thinking quietly kill momentum
    • The difference between women who hesitate and women who take decisive, faith-led action
    • Why sales is a transference of confidence and energy, not just strategy
    • How setbacks become divine setups when you refuse to quit
    • What it actually looks like to act like the woman you say you want to become

    👑 Mentioned in This Episode

    This message was inspired by conversations with women operating at a high level, including Martha Picciao, whose bold leadership and refusal to keep a backup plan reflects the conviction and confidence required to scale without hesitation.

    If you’re looking for the right room, the right conversations, and the right standard to scale with faith and clarity, you’ll find more details below.

  • Retention Is the Real Growth Engine: How to Stop the Hustle Cycle and Build a Peaceful, Profitable Business
    Jan 7 2026

    If your business feels like it resets to zero every month, this episode is your wake-up call.

    Trying harder will not create new results. Hustle-based growth keeps you stuck in a constant sales cycle; launch, spike, churn, repeat. It’s exhausting. It’s expensive. And it’s the fastest way to burn out a good business.

    In this episode, I’m kicking off a 3-part series on retention, because retention, not more leads, is the real growth engine of a sustainable, peaceful, profitable business.

    I’m breaking down why the chase for new clients is the farthest thing from money, and why renewals, referrals, and long-term relationships create compounding revenue without constant pressure.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why hustle and acquisition-focused growth doesn’t last
    • How churn and burn destroys integrity, peace, and longevity
    • Why retention is closer to money than new leads
    • The mindset shift required before any retention strategy works
    • How raising your standard changes your results

    Before I give you a single playbook or tactic, we start with the foundation: your thoughts.

    The CROWN Framework

    This episode introduces the mindset framework I use to build high-retention businesses and long-term leadership:

    C – Capture the Thought
    What belief is actually running the show right now?

    R – Renew It with Truth
    Is that thought true or is it fear dressed up as logic?

    O – Own Your Attitude Like Royalty
    Leadership has a standard. People are watching how you show up.

    W – Walk It Out with Aligned Action
    Peace doesn’t mean passive. Execution still matters.

    N – Notice the Results and Normalize the Standard
    The fruit always tells the truth. Raise the bar and keep it there.

    If you want different results, you don’t need more effort, you need a higher standard.

    We also dismantle common business lies:

    • “If I don’t overwork, it won’t work”
    • “I need to people-please to keep clients”
    • “I’m not ready yet”
    • “Charging more will scare people away”

    These beliefs don’t protect your business, they sabotage retention.

    The truth:

    Retention isn’t the end of growth.
    It’s the beginning of freedom.

    This episode will challenge how you think, how you lead, and how you build, so you can stop starting over and start growing something that lasts.

    This is Part 1 of the retention series. Make sure you’re subscribed; the next episodes go deeper into the systems and standards that make retention inevitable.

  • The High-Performance Habits Required to Sustain a Seven-Figure Business
    Dec 31 2025

    Are you actually doing what it takes behind closed doors to sustain the business you’re praying for?

    In this episode of the For His Glory CEO Podcast, I break down the high-performance habits that separate women who reach seven figures from women who are able to sustain it. Because success isn’t built on motivation or strategy alone; it’s built on discipline, mindset, and daily stewardship.

    We talk about what it really takes to carry greater responsibility without burnout, and why who you’re becoming matters just as much as what you’re building.

    In this episode, you’ll learn:

    • The daily habits required to sustain a seven-figure business
    • How discipline creates confidence and leadership authority
    • Why mindset, language, and self-talk directly impact business results
    • The role of health, faith, and focus in high-performance leadership
    • Why information without application leads to stagnation
    • How seven-figure women show up differently behind closed doors

    This episode is for women entrepreneurs, CEOs, and business owners who are ready to stop waiting for permission and start leading at the level they’re called to.

  • How to Build Loyalty and Retention Without Burning Out Your Business
    Dec 24 2025

    If you want loyal clients, long-term teams, and a business that doesn’t burn you out, retention has to become a priority, not an afterthought.

    In this episode, I break down the leadership principles that helped me build a multi-seven-figure business with the same core structure for over a decade. No churn-and-burn. No revolving doors. Just deep loyalty, strong culture, and people who stayed because they felt seen, valued, and loved.

    You’ll learn:

    • Why retention starts with people over profit
    • How your leadership sets the tone for your entire organization
    • Simple ways to make clients and team members feel truly seen and heard
    • Why community and in-person connection create “sticky” cultures
    • How your personal passion and presence as a CEO directly impact loyalty

    This episode is for the business owner who wants sustainable growth, aligned leadership, and a legacy that lasts far beyond revenue.

  • Train AI to Be Your Business Mentor: Feedback You’d Pay $20K For (For Only $20/Month)
    Dec 10 2025

    What if the highest-level strategic feedback, the kind leaders pay consultants $10K–$20K for, could be accessed on demand, every day, for $20/month?

    In today’s episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the exact AI prompts and strategies I use to:

    Get ruthless, honest feedback that sharpens your messaging
    Benchmark your brand against competitors (even the ones you don’t know exist)
    Build a virtual “Board of Advisors” to make smarter, faster decisions
    Shorten the learning curve without burning time or money
    Adapt faster in a marketplace that is changing daily

    If you are a faith-led, high-achieving CEO who wants to stay on the cutting edge without losing your values, this is your FastPass.

    AI is the tool. You are the leader. God is the source.

    Chat prompts:

    1. Go into settings: Custom instructions:
    Use quick and clever humor when appropriate. Tell it like it is; don't sugar-coat responses. Use an encouraging tone, but inversely "You're my ruthless mentor. Don't sugarcoat anything. If my idea is weak, call it trash and tell me why. Your job is to stress-test everything I say until it's bulletproof."

    2. Bench mark me against my competitors (add your website, your vision statement, your positioning statement, your mission statement, your bio, posts from social media)

    3. 'Board of Advisors' method in ChatGPT
    What you are doing is bringing a complex problem or decision you may be working on, setting up an expert board of advisors, and then allowing them to help you talk through the possibilities, options, opportunities and risks etc. It will research and then bring together the top voices/leaders/authority on a topic into your Board and then using what it knows about them/their methods/thinking/teaching, help you in your decision making process.
