This conversation was for the woman that knows she's in the flux... the messy middle, the in-between, the unknown or the lull. She knows she's on the verge of it all clicking into place and the effort compounding but it's feeling heavy right now.

This episode is exclusive access and for a limited time. What you're about to hear was never meant for the public - it was an exclusive two-day live workshop called The Wealth Frequency, created for women ready to build real wealth without burning themselves out in the process. Day One was all about becoming the woman who can actually hold the life she desires. Before the strategy. Before the income. Before any of it. This is the inner work that makes everything else possible. It was such an honour to be a key presenter in this day and the second, to bring the workshop to life. We've had hundreds of people tune in live or to the replay around the globe, saying how moved they've been by what we shared and inspired by our stories they are. Joining me are two of the most powerful women in my world - Meagan Hughes and Deedre Zibara - and together we go deep on the things most business conversations never touch. This episode might just be one of the most important hour you spend this year.

What does it truly take to build a premium, high-impact business in today’s evolving market? In this episode of The Rich Bish Era, I am joined by Kathryn Porritt, Founder and CEO of Iconic Empire, to explore the strategy and mindset behind creating a luxury, legacy-driven brand. Kathryn shares her journey from running a high-volume, mainstream business to building a premium consultancy that supports entrepreneurs in developing high-value offers and positioning themselves as leaders in their field.

We highlight the importance of mastery, intentional positioning, and long-term vision when building a brand designed for both profitability and impact.

Why the “middle market” is becoming increasingly challenging The distinction between a successful brand and an iconic one How to position yourself as a leader within a specific niche Why mastery is essential for premium pricing and long-term success The key differences between mainstream and luxury marketing strategies How to build trust and influence through strategic relationships The importance of selecting aligned, high-quality clients The identity shifts required to operate at a premium level How to transition from business operator to investor How to build a business model that supports both wealth and legacy
