Summary
On today’s solo episode I dive into what it takes to scale a brand after the initial launch phase. Aimed at intermediate founders in year two and beyond, we explore actionable strategies for continued growth—personally and professionally. From reading habits and mindset shifts to building intentional partnerships and navigating rooms with confidence, this conversation covers the often-overlooked emotional and spiritual aspects of entrepreneurship. I also touch on managing imposter syndrome, tapping into your alter ego, and why protecting your time and energy is key to long-term success. Enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a dear media production. |
| 0:05.0 | Hi, I'm Sif Heider, the founder of Hire. |
| 0:08.1 | I'm a wellness entrepreneur and digital creator, and this is my show, The Dream Bigger |
| 0:12.4 | podcast. Listen, I love dreaming big, but you know what I love more? |
| 0:17.3 | Actually having the resources to make those big dreams happen. |
| 0:22.7 | And hey, dreams can sometimes be private jets, but other times, they can look a little something like having the best |
| 0:27.4 | skin of your damn life, or starting a successful business, or delving into spirituality. So on this |
| 0:34.4 | podcast, I chat with experts and thought leaders from different fields about their |
| 0:38.5 | tips and tricks on doing exactly that. So let's get right into it. |

| 1:31.1 | your business because I've done a lot of episodes on that one more recently on like my guide |
| 1:35.8 | to building a brand. This one is more so focused on someone who already has a business. |
| 1:40.8 | This could be between year two and beyond, but essentially intermediate |
| 1:45.8 | founders. Now, I'll give you guys some background. We started a ray five years ago, and the |
| 1:51.8 | company has scaled, you know, I guess you could say relatively fast, but in my brain, obviously, |
