The Art Of Entrepreneurship

Let's be honest: building a company from nothing is freaking hard. It has been for me. I grew my company Accelity from 0 to 7 figures with no partners and no funding. I'm also a startup mentor, a speaker, and a dedicated mother of three. Welcome to The Art of Entrepreneurship podcast—I’m your host, Jackie Hermes. Listen in as I share all the mistakes I’ve made and, more importantly, what I’ve learned from them, with no fluff, and no rose-colored glasses. The Art of Entrepreneurship is a show where we cut through the BS and dig into what it actually takes to start and grow a business. I’ll be giving unfiltered advice 1 episode per week, up to 20 minute per episode. I want you to walk away from this podcast with the mindset and tools you need to be successful. This podcast is for entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and busy professionals with a short attention span (like me)—you’ll get quick-hitting, actionable information in every single episode. If you give me your time, I promise it won't be wasted. Now let's get to work!

  Episode #337

  You don't get what you don't ask for

  Sep 8, 202611 min

  This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is about why you have to ask for what you want—because if you don't, the answer is already no. I've used this one mantra to waive college classes, fund my MBA and negotiate raises. Tune in if you're ready to stop hoping and start asking for exactly what you want. ✨ This podcast is produced in partnership with Accelity, a full-service marketing agency for bold people growing bold companies.

  Episode #336

  Niche down to scale up w/ Chris Widmayer, Founder and CEO of Penrod

  Sep 1, 202624 min

  This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who are scared that niching down means shrinking their business. Going narrow feels like it should shrink your market, until you realize staying a generalist is the bigger risk. My guest Chris Widmayer of Penrod slowed his own company's growth for three years by betting on a single vertical, and that bet is exactly what turned his consultancy into one of the top five healthcare partners in the entire Salesforce ecosystem. Tune in if you're sitting on the fence about going narrow and you want to hear what it actually costs and what it actually gives back. ✨ This podcast is produced in partnership with Accelity, a full-service marketing agency for bold people growing bold companies.

  Episode #335

  The clients I should've said no to (and what an ICP would've told me)

  Aug 25, 202615 min

  This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone struggling to connect with the right audience—and struggling to grow their business as a result. We're revisiting one of our most requested episodes: my case for why an ideal customer profile isn't optional, and why saying no to the wrong-fit clients is what actually let us grow. Tune in if you're ready to get selective about who you work with, even when it feels counterintuitive. ✨ This podcast is produced in partnership with Accelity, a full-service marketing agency for bold people growing bold companies.

  Episode #334

  How an agency becomes an extension of your team (not a vendor) w/ Sarah Bielejeski & Sierra Davis of Accelity

  Aug 18, 202630 min

  This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for marketers and business leaders who think a strong strategy is enough to make marketing work. I’m chatting with Sarah Bielejeski, our Key Account Director at Accelity, who keeps every stakeholder aligned and the friction low; and Sierra Davis, our Marketing Account Manager, who builds the processes that carry a project from kickoff all the way through to results. We talk about why senior stakeholders who all think they know marketing can quietly stall a plan, how a client that hasn't aligned internally will hand you five different definitions of success, and why reporting only the wins instead of the misses is the fastest way to lose a client's trust. Tune in if your agency or your team keeps delivering work but you're still not sure it's moving the business forward, and you want to know how to fix that. ✨ This podcast is produced in partnership with Accelity, a full-service marketing agency for bold people growing bold companies.

  Episode #333

  All revenue is not good revenue: the real cost of bad-fit customers

  Aug 11, 202612 min

  This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who just spent the summer filling their pipeline and are about to say yes to whatever comes out of it. Not every deal deserves a yes; bad revenue costs more than no revenue at all, and it rarely shows up on the P&L until it's already eating your team's time and energy. Tune in if you're ready to stop chasing every dollar and start being selective about which ones you actually take. ✨ This podcast is produced in partnership with Accelity, a full-service marketing agency for bold people growing bold companies.
