What does it actually take to grow a business in 2026, especially when the algorithm changes daily, your niche feels crowded, and you're trying to scale without burning yourself to the ground? Today, I sit down with powerhouse entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and mentor Jasmine Star for a raw conversation on marketing, mindset, and what it really looks like to build an empire with intention.
Jasmine pulls back the curtain on her journey from law school dropout to wedding photographer to multi–seven-figure CEO, sharing the exact principles she uses to help women hit consistent 10K months and beyond. Together, they break down why messaging matters more than ever, how niching is non-negotiable, and why selling gets a whole lot easier when you stop trying to be palatable and start being you.
They also dig into the biggest marketing trends coming in 2026, from the rise of "entrepreneurs with influence" to the shift toward one-to-one responsiveness and why being interesting (not just informative) is now essential for growth.
This conversation is equal parts strategic and soul-level—exactly what you'd expect from Jasmine. If you've ever wondered how to market smarter, stand out in a noisy digital world, or take action without waiting for everything to feel "perfect," this episode will light a fire under you.
