Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future
The Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future
The old ways of doing business—bro marketing, manipulative persuasion tactics, and chasing success at any cost—are breaking down. The Business Growth Architect Show is for those who are here to build what comes next.
Hosted by Beate Chelette, this show is for the Founders of the Future—the ones who have heard the call, felt the activation, and know it’s time to lead differently. You’re not just here to make money. You want to use your skill set to make a difference. You’re building a business around your purpose, your experience, and your desire to impact others. You’re a conscious leader who believes that alignment, resonance, and integrity matter just as much as systems, scale, and strategy.
In each episode, we speak with the people who are building the future we actually want to live in—innovators, business architects, thought leaders, and disruptors who share the mindset, methods, frameworks, and tools to build scalable, purpose-driven businesses. You’ll learn how to shape your intellectual property into a clear business model, how to grow without burning out, and how to lead with vision while staying grounded in what really matters.
If you’re done with outdated formulas and ready to build something real, sustainable, and rooted in who you truly are—this is your show.

Ep #175: Penelope Holt: The Truth About Purpose-Driven Success (And Why Strategy Alone Fails)
Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:
Tired of fake, polished marketing that doesn’t connect? In this episode, Penelope Holt shares how spiritual principles like authenticity and alignment can unlock deeper success—for your business and yourself.
There are episodes that inform, and then there are episodes that transform—and this one is the latter. I am sitting down with Penelope Holt who shares deep insights in the world of emotional intelligence, storytelling, and purpose-driven business. Penelope is the author of Business Emotions at Work and she brings decades of experience as a ghostwriter and marketing expert for entrepreneurs who want to build meaningful brands.
Our conversation began with the big question we explore on this podcast: Can business and spirituality coexist? Penelope didn’t just say yes—she explained why they must. She introduces the idea of the “Tao of Entrepreneurship,” a path where aligning with the natural flow of the universe actually fuels your business growth. We talked about how people often chase success by focusing solely on tactics, metrics, and strategy—when in reality, it’s their emotional and spiritual grounding that determines whether they thrive or burn out.
One of the most powerful moments in this episode was when we reflected on loss, including my own experience with the Palisades Fire. Penelope’s take on what really sustains us during devastating moments brought me to tears. She believes—and I agree—that our greatest rewards come not from manipulating outcomes, but from showing up with generosity, honesty, and trust. We talked about what it means to give without expectation, to receive openly, and to live from a place of alignment rather than performance.
If you’ve ever wondered whether your spiritual values have a place in your business, or if you’re feeling called to build something deeper than just a profitable model, this episode is for you. Penelope’s voice is one of clarity and compassion, and she reminds us that authenticity is becoming the most valuable currency in the marketplace. After you listen, I encourage you to dive deeper into her work at PenelopeHolt.com—it’s a resource every conscious leader should know about.
