    Send us Fan Mail What can seasoned business owners learn from a Gen Z founder who is already building, experimenting, and leading before graduation? In this episode of Delegate2Elevate: Get Sh!t Done, Bonnie Schutz talks with Sam Loiterstein, a rising senior at George Washington University and co-founder of Nexus Consulting, a student-led micro-internship platform helping thought leaders and small to mid-sized businesses improve workflows, operations, and time management.

    96 Chandra Anderson: All Great Things Start a Little Messy

    Send us Fan Mail What happens when being the dependable one starts costing you your health, relationships, and leadership effectiveness? In this episode of Delegate2Elevate: Get Sh!t Done, Bonnie Schutz sits down with Chandra Anderson, a healthcare executive leading quality, operations, and strategy in rural Nebraska. Chandra has spent years building high-performing systems in one of the most resource-constrained environments in healthcare.

Bonnie and Chandra talk about: The connection between healthcare leadership and business ownership Why high performers are often the first to burn out How servant leadership can quietly turn into over-functioning Why protecting your team too much may hold them back What it means to “paint done” clearly before delegating The messy but necessary early stages of delegation Intergenerational communication, emojis, flexibility, and team culture This episode is for leaders, founders, professional service providers, and high performers who are learning that doing it all is not leadership.

    94 Layne Booth: The Delegation Power Hidden in Your Data

    Send us Fan Mail What if the smartest delegation move is not handing off another task, but getting the right eyes on your data? In this episode of Delegate2Elevate: Get Sh!t Done, Bonnie Schutz sits down with Layne Booth, the data, metrics, and KPI go-to for small businesses. Layne teaches bookkeepers, directors of operations, business managers, and consultants how to add dashboard services through the Dashboard Designer Certification Program. Her work helps small business owners turn numbers into visual, useful information they can actually make decisions from. Bonnie and Layne talk about why dashboards are not only for “numbers people,” how data can help business owners focus on what matters most, and why not everything on your plate deserves to be delegated. They also discuss Layne’s own delegation journey, including her first hire, building a remote team, training team members, using end-of-day recaps, and why fractional support can be a smart first step. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why business owners need clear data before making big decisions How dashboards help creative entrepreneurs see what is working Why not every task on your plate is important How to use data to focus your time and attention Why Layne’s first hire was not an administrative role How to train team members by teaching the long way first Why end-of-day recaps can help remote teams stay aligned How fractional support can help founders start small and build confidence Layne’s closing reminder says it all: Bring the data, not the drama, and keep on delegating.

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Delegate2Elevate: Get Sh!t Done, Bonnie sits down with Sailynn Doyle, a scale and systems strategist who helps service-based women business owners build companies that do not depend on them for every move. Sailynn shares how she grew her first business to $1 million in three years, only to find herself buried in 80-hour workweeks and carrying the weight of every decision. Everything changed when she realized the issue was not effort. It was structure. Sailynn walks through the moment that pushed her to draw a line in the sand, how one updated system changed the way her team operated, and how that became the foundation for the frameworks she now teaches. Bonnie and Sailynn dig into the difference between handing off tasks and building true delegation into a business. They talk about designing, refining, and integrating systems, helping team members understand why the work matters, and creating a business that can scale without the owner being tangled in every detail. This one is packed with practical takeaways for founders who are ready to stop being the hub of every wheel and start building a business that supports real life, not only more work.

    89 Lisa Glenn-Nobles: Why Clarity Changes Everything in Delegation

    Send us Fan Mail Bonnie welcomes Lisa Glenn-Nobles, CEO and principal of LGN Collab, for a candid conversation about operations, delegation, and how to build people-centered systems that support sustainable growth. Lisa shares her accidental entrepreneur story, why she still loves being “number two,” and how that mindset shaped her work as an operations consultant and fractional COO. They dig into one of the biggest founder pain points: knowing whether you need a fractional COO, an EA, or another type of support altogether. Lisa explains that a fractional COO is the right fit when a founder needs a strategic partner who can make decisions, create structure, and help guide hiring strategy, not just take tasks. Bonnie adds real-world perspective from her own background in executive support and delegation. The conversation also explores why so many hires fail before they even begin. Lisa explains that when leaders bring someone in without clear systems, documentation, and expectations, the issue usually is not the person... it is the lack of clarity around the role. Bonnie and Lisa also talk about adapting to communication preferences, the role of emotional intelligence, and how AI can help support pros better match voice and tone. They wrap by talking about growth, network power, and the value of knowing when to bring in a strategist first, then hand off to an EA or other support person once the structure is in place. Lisa also shares the first things she delegated in her own business and how that early support helped her scale.

    88 Rebeccah Silence: What Emotional Healing Has to Do with Delegation

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Bonnie sits down with Rebeccah Silence, emotional healing expert, generational trauma specialist, and founder of The Unsilent Woman, to talk about something most business owners do not connect to delegation nearly enough: emotional healing. Together, they unpack how old survival patterns can quietly shape the way we lead, communicate, hire, outsource, and trust others with our business. Rebeccah shares why delegation struggles are not always about systems or time management. Sometimes, they are rooted in fear, control, disappointment, boundary issues, or past experiences that still live under the surface. They also dig into what it means to lead from a healed place instead of from fight, flight, or freeze, how to recognize when someone is not the right fit, and why love may be one of the most underrated secret weapons in leadership. This conversation is for founders, service providers, and high-achieving women who are ready to lead with more peace, clarity, and confidence without gripping the steering wheel so hard. #Productivity, #Delegation, #Leadership, #Entrepreneurship, #ServiceProviders, #Boundaries, #EmotionalHealing, #WomenInBusiness Rebeccah Silence, MT-BC, MS | LinkedIn Rebeccah Silence – Healing Is Possible Support the show Get your D2E Swag Here Find us on: D2EGSD on Youtube: D2EGSD Website: LinkedIn: Spotify: Find Your Service Pro Keywords: #Productivity #Delegation #Outsourcing #Productivity #Leadership #Viral
