Lead Better - Grow Your Practice. Live Your Purpose.
Amplifying a broken practice won't fix it. (with Molly Cahill)
Sep 16, 202649 min
If you've ever looked at a slow month and decided the answer is posting more, this one is for you. Molly Cahill runs Instagram for almost thirty health and wellness practices, and she opened our conversation by saying the thing most marketers won't say out loud. Her take: she can amplify your message, and she's very good at it, but amplifying a practice whose operations are held together with sticky notes and memory doesn't solve the business problem underneath it. The practitioners who get the most out of Instagram already know where a new inquiry lands, who follows up, and what happens next. Without that, more attention just means more things slipping past you. In this episode, Molly and I get into what has to be true before social media pays off, and she walks through the content framework she says she's never given away on a podcast before. Why practitioners reach for marketing as a rescue plan, and what that actually costs them Molly's ten-post content plan, broken into slots you can fill in one sitting The permission slip she gives practitioners who think their practice page has to look clinical to be credible How to show up without oversharing, including the short list I made of the only places I'm willing to let my personal life be public How Molly and I both use AI for content, including the exact prompt she uses to turn a voice note into a post The social media hygiene habits that keep Instagram from eating your evenings Connect with Molly Cahill Instagram: @mollyacahill Her membership is Holistic Marketing Hub and her show is Holistic Marketing Simplified, both worth a look if Instagram is the piece you're working on.

You can't hand off a business that only lives in your head. (with Dr. Kela Smith)
Sep 3, 202645 min
If your practice is growing and you can feel the ceiling getting close, this conversation is for you. I sat down with Dr. Kela Smith, a naturopathic doctor with a PhD who runs two businesses side by side, the Hormone Puzzle Society on the clinical side and Grow Your Wellness Business where she coaches practitioners, and we dug into what actually changed for her between six figures and seven. Almost none of it came down to working harder. It came down to who she lets onto a call in the first place, what she believes about money in the moment a price leaves her mouth, and the fact that she wrote her processes down long before she had a team to hand them to. She also walked me through her Thriving Business Puzzle, the framework she built for that jump, with the CEO seat sitting right in the middle of it. In this episode we get into: The five pieces of her Thriving Business Puzzle, and why she put the CEO in the center instead of the practitioner How she pre-qualifies every single call, including why she moved to paid deep dive calls and stopped offering free ones What to actually say when money comes up on a call, the question she asks first, and why she goes quiet after it Why she writes SOPs before she hires anyone, and how her first hire started at five hours a week What half a million dollars invested in her own business taught her about deciding when to say yes Connect with Dr. Kela Smith Website: growyourwellnessbusiness.com Instagram: @drkelasmith Let's Connect If you listened to the SOP part and felt a little called out, come tell me about it.

Your niche isn't where your business starts. (with Elyse Wagner)
Aug 26, 202658 min
If you have ever sat down to build the next thing in your business and started with the niche, the website, or the offer, this episode is going to reorder a few things for you. Elyse Wagner has spent more than a decade working with thousands of health coaches, and she does not start any of them there. She starts with values, and she has a model for how values sit underneath every single result you are trying to create, for your clients and for yourself. The behaviors nobody can seem to stick with usually trace back to roots nobody looked at. In this episode, we get into where to actually begin, and why so much of the standard advice starts at the wrong end. The flower model: how results, behaviors, feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and values all sit on the same stem, and where most of us cut it off Why working on beliefs with a client is not automatically out of scope What changes when a client gets reconnected to their own values, told through a real client story Embodiment: why the work you have not done yourself tends to show up in the room anyway The human design and gene keys conversation at the end, and how we both use it to make business decisions Connect with Elyse Wagner Website: https://www.elysewagner.com/ Free training: https://bonus.elysewagner.com/health-coach-leadership-summit-2026 Instagram: [still needed] Let's Connect If this one has you rethinking how you build, I want to hear about it.

Delegation is my favorite form of self-care. (with Michelle Rogers)
Jul 29, 202648 min
Michelle Rogers has taken a full week off every single month since 2018, and when I asked her how she pulled that off, the answer was so much simpler than I expected. She cut a 60 hour work week in half, and then in half again. What we kept circling back to is everything you are carrying that never shows up on a task list. Every client detail, every decision, every question somebody else handed you to hold. Michelle and I both got to the same place, which is that the real unlock is not another tool. It is getting all of that out of your head so you can be fully present with the person in front of you. In this episode we get into her flex week and how she actually protects it, the four box system she uses to decide what to hand off first, and the AI setup running behind her business. How Michelle set up a full week off every month, and the exact thing she said to her clients to make it work The four box exercise for deciding what to delegate first, and why the fourth box goes first Why tracking what you actually do all week is the most useful data you will ever collect on yourself Batching your week by energy instead of by task, and what we both ended up calling radiant days What AI is actually useful for inside a practice, and the part of your work it will never touch Connect with Michelle Rogers Website: wellthywoman.co Instagram: @wellthywoman Let's Connect If any of this landed, I want to hear which part.

Teaching too much is what's costing you the sale. (with Kendra Perry)
Jul 22, 202645 min
If you have ever poured weeks into a launch and ended up on the bathroom floor wondering what you did wrong, this one is for you. I sat down with Kendra Perry, business strategist and founder of the Wealthy Coach podcast, to talk about what actually makes a launch work for a health practitioner, and how to read your numbers so you know the difference between a real flop and a completely normal result. Here is the part that surprised me. Sometimes a launch that made zero sales converted right within the range of normal, and the problem was never you. It was the math, the messaging, or a niche too broad to land. Kendra walks through how she diagnoses a launch from the top of the funnel down, and why teaching too much on a webinar is one of the surest ways to lose the sale. In this episode, we get into launching from start to finish, plus a hot take on perimenopause as a niche that stuck with me for days. Whether you should be launching at all, and the email list size Kendra wants you to hit before you try The real conversion math behind launches, and why "normal" is sometimes zero How to diagnose a launch that flopped, starting at the top of the funnel: open rates, registration, show-up rates Why treating your webinar as a decision-making environment beats giving away everything you know Kendra's hot take on why perimenopause is a category, not a niche, and how to niche inside it Connect with Kendra Perry Instagram: @kendraperryinc Let's Connect If patients are coming in fine but things keep slipping through the cracks behind the scenes, that is exactly the layer we run at Lead Better HQ.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
