Episode 3: Part 1: The Hidden Variable in Your Growth: Your Life Partner
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
In this episode of Business on Top, I’m diving into something that impacts nearly every woman building at a high level, but rarely gets talked about openly: the evolution of partnership as your business grows. You’ll hear a powerful panel conversation we hosted at ALT, where we intentionally brought husbands into the dialogue, not as outsiders to the business journey, but as a meaningful part of the ecosystem that supports it. This conversation is part one of a two-part discussion exploring what happens inside relationships as women step more fully into leadership, create wealth, expand...

Episode 2: Leadership is Messy
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
In this episode of Business on Top, I’m dismantling the polished, picture-perfect version of leadership, and replacing it with something far more honest. Leadership is messy. And the sooner you accept that, the more powerfully you can lead. In this conversation, I walk through the gap between what I thought leadership would feel like and the reality of building something in real time. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re doing it “right,” felt the weight of responsibility while still figuring things out behind the scenes, or wondered why leadership feels harder than it looks,...

Episode 1: A New Chapter Begins
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
Welcome to the very first episode of Business on Top, a podcast created for women who are building, leading, and navigating the complexities of growth in a world that hasn’t fully caught up to their reality. In this opening conversation, I share the deeper truth behind what so many of us as women are experiencing, but haven’t always had the language to articulate. As we step into greater financial leadership, build companies, and expand our influence, the traditional ideas of “work-life balance” and “doing it all” start to fall short. What I’ve found instead is a much more...

Episode 315: The End of an Era: The Final Fierce Factor Episode
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
Episode 315 marks the end of an era, and the beginning of something entirely new. After five and a half years of recording weekly episodes, this final chapter of the Fierce Factor Podcast is both a reflection and a turning point. What started in 2020 as a space to give women permission, to want more, to build bigger, to pursue both impact and financial success, has grown into something far more meaningful. This podcast has been a place for honest conversations, for finding your voice, and for navigating the very real, often unspoken experience of building a business and a life at the same...

Episode 314: Learning to Lead Before You Feel Ready with Melanie Crowley
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
In this episode, I’m bringing you a replay from our recent SPARK sprint, where we focused on strengthening operational leadership inside growing aesthetic and wellness practices. During this conversation, I sat down with Melanie Crowley, Practice Manager at Renova Aesthetics, to talk through her journey from elementary education into managing a multi-million dollar business, without a traditional background in this industry. What unfolds is an honest and highly relatable look at what it means to step into leadership before you feel fully ready, and build confidence through action. Together,...

Episode 313: Turning Big Ideas into Executable Strategy with Whitney Stanford
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
In this episode, I’m sitting down with Whitney Stanford, Practice Manager of Meg Fox Aesthetics, for a conversation I’ve been really looking forward to sharing. This episode is a replay from Day 3 of our SPARK event, where we focused on strengthening operational leadership inside growing practices. We talk about what leadership actually looks like when you’re in that seat between vision and execution, responsible for taking big ideas and turning them into something your team can consistently carry out across a growing, multi-location practice. Whitney shares her experience navigating...

Episode 312: How to Stop Scaling Chaos
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
This week’s episode of The Fierce Factor Podcast is a special one. We’re bringing you a replay from Day 1 of SPARK, our leadership intensive designed for aesthetic practice owners and practice managers, and the official introduction of the KLC Practice Manager Academy. Built over two years of real-world application, this program was created to address one of the most critical gaps in the aesthetics industry: operational leadership. Because what gets a practice to its first level of success is rarely what sustains it as it grows. In this episode, we unpack the leadership challenges that...

Episode 311: Bonus: How to Become the Kind of Leader You'd Want to Follow
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
In this bonus replay episode, I shared something really personal, and honestly, deeply relevant to anyone navigating growth as a business owner. While traveling during my son’s lacrosse season last summer, I found myself experiencing that familiar entrepreneurial anxiety…the kind that shows up when you’re away from your business and wondering if things are still running smoothly without you. That season pushed me to take a closer look at how I was leading, how I was protecting my energy, and what I was actually saying yes to in my day-to-day. It became about more than just time...

Episode 310: Bonus: The Critical Role of a Practice Leader & When to Hire One
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
In this replay episode, we’re revisiting one of the most important leadership decisions every growing practice owner faces: should you promote someone from within, or bring in outside leadership talent? As founders, many of us build our businesses around the skills we know best—whether that’s clinical excellence or coaching expertise. But the transition from hands-on provider to visionary CEO requires a completely different leadership skill set. In this conversation, we unpack common mistakes that can slow growth, like overpaying for experienced hires before your business is ready, or...

Episode 309: The White Glove Client Experience: Raising the Standard in Aesthetics (ALT Panel)
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
We’re taking you back into the room at our 2025 ALT Experience for a special replay from the stage. In this conversation, I sit down with founders and CEOs Meg Fox, Sara Trammell, and Allie Edwards to talk about what it really means to create a white glove patient experience inside a growing practice. Not the kind that feels forced or fancy for the sake of appearance, but the kind rooted in intention, standards, and leadership. We unpack how each of them defines white glove service in a way that fits their brand, and how they ensure it’s felt consistently, from the first click online to...
info_outlineThe hiring process can be daunting, but with some practical insights, a little experience and execution, you can really become a natural at this interviewing piece. And that’s what I want to help you through today.
In this week’s episode I will share with you 3 tips you can use to help you interview like a boss. And stick around because at the end of this podcast I’m going to share with you a special event I’ll be hosting to help you build your interviewing skills, including how to recognize red flags in the interview process immediately so you don’t fall for the same traps I did!
Don’t miss this!
PS- Next week I’ll be hosting a 2 day crash course called: Interview like a Vixen
The event will take place Feb 2 & 3 with a day one session on interviewing strategies and day two, live role play. You’ll be given a comprehensive resource guide to follow along and dissect the live interview. It’s like your own interview lab.
My goal for this session is to help you:
Learn how to interview a candidate like you actually own the place:
- Clue in on my insider tips for expanding your candidate pool
- Learn to immediately recognize red flags in the hiring process
- Grab your popcorn and get a front row seat to a live interview
If you are still listening, you are more than likely a badass aesthetic wellness provider who needs to hire team members, stat. You know that you can't grow without having a solid team behind you. And that may mean you have some tough interviews ahead of you.
Interviewing can be an elusive endeavor. Some employees' best skill is crushing their interview then sucking at their job.
I’m often told “I wish that employee performed as good as their job as they did in their interview”
And the reality is, there is an art to interviewing (and a few practical strategies) that will help you take the driver’s seat, ask the right questions to determine if a candidate is going to cut it in your culture and growing company.
The good news is, you can totally do this. If you want to grow a sustainable business, mastering this skill will be critical because the only way to scale your business in a way that relies on assets (ahem human capital) instead of your precious time and energy is by building a badass team who is capable of lightening our load!
So if you want to take more stress free vacations, sign up for this free crash course pronto.
