Ditch the Perfect Schedule: Leadership, Productivity & Relationships | Ep 113 with Emily Frisella
In this episode of Operation Be, I sit down with Emily Frisella — entrepreneur, best-selling author, COO of Arete Syndicate and 44Seven Media, and founder of Paper & Plan Co. and Women in Business. Emily is known for her no-BS, real-world approach to leadership, and this conversation delivers exactly that. We dive into what it actually looks like to run multiple businesses without rigid routines, and why the “perfect morning routine” advice you see online doesn’t work for most entrepreneurs. Emily shares her glass balls vs. rubber balls framework — a powerful way to prioritize what truly matters and let go of unnecessary guilt. We also talk about: ✨Why most productivity advice is unrealistic ✨Building trust through transparency (not transactions) ✨Leading teams with clarity and communication ✨Creating culture without drama ✨And how to grow a business while staying aligned with your values This episode is practical, honest, and packed with perspective shifts — especially if you’re building something and trying to do it in a way that actually works for your life. 🎧 Press play if you’re ready to lead, grow, and simplify how you approach success. 00:25 Meet Emily Frisella 01:39 Rethinking Daily Structure 04:41 Glass vs Rubber Balls 06:02 Rejecting Hustle Advice 09:34 Honest Selling and Trust 13:26 Books and Core Values 17:58 Myth of Long Plans 20:11 Social Media Reality Shift 30:07 Team Structure Breakdown 31:27 Delegation and Deadlines 32:36 Overcommunicate the Why 35:26 Women in Business Workshop 40:48 Launching the Academy 48:19 Work Life Blend Mindset 56:22 Staying Grounded Systems Connect with Emily: https://www.instagram.com/emilyfrisella/ https://emilyfrisella.com/ Please like, comment, subscribe, and share this episode and tag us with @jamie.thurber on Instagram or Jamie Thurber on Facebook. #OperationBe Want to connect with me on social media? www.instagram.com/jamie.thurber www.facebook.com/jamiethurber.biz www.jamiethurber.com https://www.youtube.com/@JamieThurber If you’re interested in getting the exclusive content I put out on the newsletter, sign up here: https://jamiethurber.com/newsletter Join my community and let’s take this conversation even deeper!
