What if the next step wasn’t something you could see... but something you had to trust?

In this deeply personal solo episode of The Kate Kenney Show #Unfiltered, Kate shares the untold story behind the podcast’s creation—from a handwritten vision over a decade ago… to a makeshift studio in a hotel bedroom… to the moment her future self caught up with her present.

This isn’t just about podcasting. It’s about possibility. About what happens when you stop waiting for the full plan and start walking the path your soul is already whispering.

Inside this episode, Kate invites you behind the scenes of her own vision—and shares how to begin moving toward yours, even if all you can see is the next breadcrumb.

This is your permission slip to lead boldly… especially when the path ahead isn’t clear.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• The real story behind the podcast’s launch (including the unexpected filming setup)

• What it really means to trust your truth, even when it’s inconvenient

• The 3 steps that make the invisible path visible

• Why you don’t need the full plan—just a sovereign yes to the next step

• A powerful invitation to reconnect with your own future self

What if your next big opportunity… derailed your business?

Most entrepreneurs dream of explosive growth, but few are truly prepared for the chaos it can bring. John Briggs was. In just four years, he grew his business from $2.7M to $24.4M in revenue and expanded his team from 35 to 250+ people—all while navigating massive demand, rapid scaling, and relentless growth.

But here’s where it gets really interesting…
John’s team uncovered a jaw-dropping truth: 85% of IRS letters demanding money are wrong. And guess what? They don’t just accept it—they fight back. Most entrepreneurs are overpaying simply because they don’t know this.

From cracking the IRS code to scaling without burning it all down, this is a masterclass in building profit, protecting your money, and creating sustainable growth that lasts.

💡 In This Episode, We Cover:

• The Explosive Business Growth Story: How John scaled from $2.7M to $24.4M in just four years—handling 600 sales calls a day and 150 new clients a week without burning it all down.
  
  

• The IRS Truth Bomb: Why 85% of IRS letters are wrong—and why you should never blindly pay. His team regularly fights back and wins, saving clients thousands.
  
  

• Proactive vs. Reactive: The Accountant’s Secret to Keeping More of Your Money—by playing offense, not defense with your taxes. (Hint: It’s not what your CPA is telling you!)

• The Bombshell Conversation: How John navigated explosive growth—through the chaos—and the strategic moves he put in place to make sure it didn’t all fall apart.

• The "Hidden Rule" for Entrepreneurs: A little-known tax loophole that could save business owners thousands every year… and almost no one is talking about it. (You’ll want to take notes on this one!)
