Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
In Part 2 of my conversation with Shannon Bokhoor, founder of SocialRx, we’re getting into what actually makes content effective and how to build visibility without becoming obsessed with follower counts or trying to be everywhere. We talk about why a smaller, loyal audience can be more valuable than a large following, the role of spontaneous and personal content, and how founders can stay involved in their content even when they outsource the heavy lifting. Shannon also shares practical ways to make content creation easier, from using trial reels and simple editing tools to creating a...

Episode 22: How I'm Using AI to Create More Capacity As a CEO
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
What if AI could do more than write emails, create content, or give you another list of things to do? In this episode of Business on Top, I’m sharing a 20-minute sneak peek from our recent Too Busy to Learn AI workshop. Over the last year, my team and I have been figuring out how to actually put AI to work inside our own business. And what we’ve learned is that the real opportunity goes far beyond using AI to create content faster. It can help us think more strategically, make better decisions, create stronger team execution, and ultimately give us more capacity to focus on the work that...

Episode 21: The Confidence to Be Seen, Heard, and Taken Seriously
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
In this episode of Business on Top, I’m answering your questions about visibility, confidence, authority, and what it really takes to walk into a room and own it. I’m sharing lessons from early in my career, including the powerful women I watched and emulated, and how those experiences shaped the way I show up in bigger rooms today. I also talk about why you don’t have to be the most experienced or qualified person in the room to have something valuable to say. We’ll get into how to make other people feel valuable, develop your own point of view, communicate with more authority, and...

Episode 20: The Leadership Mistakes Keeping Your Business Stuck
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
What happens when your business slows down, your team isn’t retaining clients, or your employees aren’t taking initiative? Too often, we look for an external fix, a new device, more advertising, a new hire, or someone to blame. In this episode, I’m breaking down why sustainable growth starts from the inside out. I’m unpacking two real questions from med spa owners: how to attract more patients after making a major investment, and how to build a team that takes ownership and creates lasting client relationships. We’ll talk about the difference between using a tool to enhance an...

Bonus: Leadership Lesson 19: Growth vs. Safety: How Do You Know Which One to Choose?
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
In this bonus replay episode, I’m revisiting one of my favorite conversations from the Fierce Factor: one of the most dangerous myths women are taught about success, that “playing it safe” is the responsible choice. This conversation was sparked by a reflection on 2016, the year I started KLC and the year my brother passed away, and a question that stopped me in my tracks: Is my life truly better because I chose growth over safety? What I’ve learned over the past decade is this: safety is often conditional, and comfort can be far more limiting than risk. I take you back to my...

Episode 16: Your Performance is Built in Practice
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
In this episode of Business on Top, I’m getting a little more personal and reflecting on the experiences, failures, discipline, and perseverance that have shaped the leader I am today. I spend so much time focused on growth and what’s next that I rarely stop to recognize the experiences that gave me the skills and confidence to pursue those goals in the first place. In this episode, I talk about the importance of acknowledging the wisdom we’ve already earned through the challenges, failures, and moments when we had to get back up and keep going. I also share a personal story from my...

Episode 15: Clinical Expertise Won’t Build Your Business
Business on Top with Kaeli Lindholm
I believe one of the biggest challenges in the aesthetics industry isn't clinical skill, it's business education. In this episode of Business on Top, I'm sharing why so many talented providers struggle with leadership, finances, hiring, and scaling their practices, despite being exceptional at what they do. If you've ever felt confident in the treatment room but uncertain reading your financials, leading a team, or making strategic business decisions, this conversation is for you. I dive into why this gap exists, how it keeps high-achieving founders stuck, and why mastering your craft isn't...
info_outlineIn this bonus replay episode, I’m revisiting one of my favorite conversations from the Fierce Factor: one of the most dangerous myths women are taught about success, that “playing it safe” is the responsible choice.
This conversation was sparked by a reflection on 2016, the year I started KLC and the year my brother passed away, and a question that stopped me in my tracks: Is my life truly better because I chose growth over safety? What I’ve learned over the past decade is this: safety is often conditional, and comfort can be far more limiting than risk.
I take you back to my corporate career at Bayer Healthcare, a role that looked secure by every traditional measure. Great pay, benefits, prestige, and a clear path forward… until one unexpected call from HR shattered the illusion of stability. That moment changed how I understand security, responsibility, and agency, especially for women.
We’ll talk about why big companies are often romanticized as “safe,” why small business ownership is framed as risky, and how that mindset shows up when women build their own companies. I’ll also share a powerful story about growth, discomfort, and why the very tension we try to avoid is often what prepares us for our next level.
If you’re craving expansion but feel stuck optimizing for familiarity instead of fulfillment, this bonus replay is your invitation to rethink what safety really means, and to consider whether the boldest move might actually be the most responsible one.
