Stop Letting People Play in Your Face: Knowing Your Worth with Alex Hill

: In this week’s installment of The Business of You series, I’m sitting down with Alex Hill — recipe developer, community builder, and the woman behind Just Add Hot Sauce — to talk about what it really takes to bet on yourself as a solopreneur and what it truly means to stop letting people play in your face, including yourself. This conversation is about the moment before the leap. The panic attack that becomes the pivot. The $25K savings goal. The train that’s moving whether you’re ready or not. If you’re truly going to be the CEO of your life, it means you know your worth, and you move like it. We talk about turning content into capital, building a brand without letting the algorithm own you, and why “being the product” is both the source of opportunity and pressure. Because it’s one thing to go viral. It’s another thing to build a business that can outlive the internet. The Business of You is about ownership. Not just of your talent, but of your trajectory. This conversation is a masterclass in zooming out before the world decides your next move for you. This episode is for you if… You know you’re talented but you’re still figuring out how to think like the CEO of your own life. You want to move from scarcity to leverage. You want to learn the difference between being creative and being strategic. You’re ready to build real ownership. You want to stop performing for the algorithm. You’re learning that saying yes built the foundation but saying no builds the future. You’re tired of shaking your ass for Kohl’s cash and are ready to build real equity. Episode Links:
