If you’re still handing out paper business cards, you’re leaving authority—and clients—on the table. In Episode 202 of What the Nell!? Podcast, publishing strategist and Ready Writer Services founder Giselle Quintanilla breaks down why your book should never be treated like a $20 Amazon product… and how to use it like the highest-value business card in your brand.

You’ll learn how a book builds instant trust in an AI-heavy world, how to repurpose your chapters into content that sells for months (or years), and the time-block system busy entrepreneurs use to actually finish writing. We also get real about self-publishing vs traditional publishing, what “vanity publishers” are, and how to use AI responsibly without risking copyright issues.

If you want credibility that outlasts algorithms, this episode is your blueprint.

Are the people in your life feeding your growth…or draining your nutrients?

In this spicy Season 4 episode of The What the Nell Podcast – EcoPreneur's Edge Edition, Nell and Mikee break down the powerful “roots, branches, and leaves” analogy for relationships — and how it applies to your personal life, business, and even entrepreneurship in 2026.

You’ll learn how to identify toxic patterns like gossip and unsolicited advice, why you don’t owe everyone a “root” relationship, and how boundaries create freedom — not isolation. This conversation goes beyond friendship. We dive into professional circles, business coaches, therapists, financial advisors, transactional relationships, and how agentic AI may reshape who we rely on in the future.

If you're evolving, leveling up, or building something bigger than yourself — this episode will challenge you to audit your circle.

Content creation wasn’t supposed to feel like a second full-time job—but for most business owners, it does.

If you’re over 40, running a business, or simply don’t have time to master AI tools, video editing, and nonstop posting, this episode is for you.

In this special 200th episode, I pull back the curtain on something I’ve been building quietly behind the scenes—Haus of Content—a simple, human-first way to stay visible online without filming everything yourself or drowning in tech overwhelm.

I break down why most creators quit, why video still matters more than ever, and how busy professionals can show up confidently using tools, B-roll, and AI without losing their voice or sanity.

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about finally doing content smarter.

What if your low libido isn’t “just aging”—but hormones, medication, stress, or emotional disconnect?

In this Sexual Sustainability episode of the What the Nell!? Podcast, the EcoPreneur's Edge edition, Nell and Mikee have an unfiltered, deeply human conversation about consent, medication side effects, emotional connection, ethical non-monogamy, and what it really takes to keep desire alive over decades—not just seasons.

We explore how libido changes across decades, how birth control and preventative medications can silently impact mental health and desire, and why emotional trust may matter more than frequency. From navigating hormones in your 30s and 40s to redefining intimacy, consent, and connection, this episode reframes sexuality as part of whole-life wellness—physical, emotional, and relational. Whether you’re single, partnered, child-free, monogamous, or exploring new dynamics, this conversation offers clarity without shame and honesty without hype.

**This episode includes candid discussion of mental health experiences, including intrusive or distressing thoughts that may feel alarming or overwhelming. While these conversations are shared to reduce stigma and increase awareness, they may be triggering for some listeners. If you experience thoughts about harming yourself or feel unsafe at any point, please pause the episode and reach out for immediate support. You deserve help, and support is available. In the U.S., you can call or text 988 to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. If you are outside the U.S., please contact your local emergency number or a trusted mental health professional. Listening to this episode is not a substitute for professional care, and seeking help is a sign of strength—not failure.**

Everyone wants the moment — few are willing to survive the years it takes to earn it. In this episode of What the Nell!? Podcast, Nell sits down with friend and Trop Rock artist Greg Mihaly to break down the real story behind “overnight success,” the unseen business of releasing music, and why most artists may not make it before the music ever has a chance to work.

Greg Mihaly has been making music professionally for 30 years and only now are many people discovering his work. In this candid, no-BS conversation, Greg opens up on what actually goes into releasing music as an independent artist: distributors, royalties, featured artists vs. co-writes, playlisting, and why hype before a release doesn’t always matter. They also dive into Greg’s upcoming single “Here Comes the Sun” featuring Alan Jax Bowers, the creative process behind the collaboration, and why momentum is built after the release, not before it.

This episode is a must-listen for musicians, podcasters, creatives, and entrepreneurs who are tired of surface-level advice and want to understand what longevity really looks like.

Can politics and sustainability actually go together? In this refreshingly grounded episode of What The Nell!? Podcast: The EcoPreneur's Edge, co-hosts Mikee and Nell tackle one of the spiciest topics yet: political sustainability. But don't worry—this isn't about picking sides. It's about staying grounded, emotionally balanced, and well-informed in a chaotic political world.

From the toxic rise of social media debate to finding calm through intentional news consumption, Mikee and Nell offer deeply personal thoughts about how they maintain political awareness without losing themselves in the noise. Expect real talk on local vs. national politics, how conversations in a hair salon or inbox can shift your worldview, and why we need to stop letting political discourse tear apart relationships. This episode is less about parties and more about principles: listening, seeking truth, and showing up with empathy.
