Renia Carsillo

Renia (pronounced R-EE-n-a) Carsillo hates business silos and marketing hacks. So, she spends her days working with mid-size and small companies to integrate their business strategy with their impact strategy, design sustainable marketing frameworks, and find a growth cadence that works for their team and their lives. Renia believes founders are uniquely positioned to create a kinder, more equitable world. She is passionate about bringing C-level strategic support to the small and mid-size companies shaping their communities every day. Renia says, "Sustainable marketing is built on a solid business strategy. A solid business strategy is built on values-driven habits. Values-driven habits are built on healed/healing leaders. We can’t do these things separately. They’re all interconnected. ”

2 Practices to Find Focus in the Chaos [Two on Tuesdays]

Happy Tuesday, Reader! Over the past few weeks, we’ve talked about creating flexible, GPS-like roadmaps for your business strategy. This week, we're zooming in on a smaller-scale tool that supports that journey: containerizing your weeks and days. Think of your days and weeks as containers—they can only hold so much. When you create intentional boundaries around your time, you gain clarity about what you've accomplished, what remains, and what simply won't fit. In a world that feels...

Happy Tuesday, Reader! A couple of weeks ago, we talked about coaches and communities as scaffolding for building new habits. Today, as we begin The $250K Club program for the first time, I'm thinking about the power of these two alignments and what kind of magic they bring when they're well-aligned and on-mission. (Psst - It’s not too late to join. Register for The $250K Club below.) SECURE MY SPOT The bigger and bolder the thing we are trying to do, the more we need both coaches and...

Happy Tuesday, Reader! I love speaking, training, and teaching different groups of people. But I don't love being on airplanes multiple times each month. And as an introvert, I struggle with too much travel and too much people time. Those are the hard parts of the thing I want. We're looking for a house right now. It costs significantly more to live in a neighborhood where I can walk places and have neighbors who want community with each other, not car-to-garage anonymity. We can have a...

Happy Tuesday, Reader! The last year has been full of major transitions: our youngest shipping out to the Navy, a cross-country move, and the loss of my husband's mother. It’s been a year of transitions, celebrations, and separations. Spending more time focused on life has taught me some important lessons about business. Here are two I want to share with you. Business Lesson #1: The most important work gets done in 2-4 hours each day. What happens in the rest of our work time is mostly noise....

Happy Tuesday, Reader! If you've searched for anything on Google lately, you've probably noticed something different at the top of your results: AI-generated summaries that endeavor to answer your question before you even click on a link. These are called AI Overviews, and they're Google's attempt to synthesize information from multiple sources into one comprehensive answer. These aren't the same as organic search results or even the rich snippets that used to give "zero-click" answers....

Happy Tuesday, Reader! Over the past two weeks, we've talked about mapping your 2026 journey and building the habits that will get you there. Today, I want to talk about the foundation that makes all of it possible: your body. We cannot be sustainably successful as leaders if we neglect our bodies. The older I get, the more convinced I am of this truth. We are constantly, especially as women, being pressured to sacrifice ourselves for our work. There was a moment, circa 2019 or so, where I...

Happy Tuesday, Reader! Last week, we talked about creating a roadmap for 2026 instead of rigid resolutions. This week, let's talk about the habits that will actually get you there—and why they probably won't stick without the right support. Habit-building is like constructing a house. New habits generally don't stick without help. They require scaffolding. In construction, those metal frames don't stick around forever. They're used to prop things up and create access during the building...

Happy Tuesday, Reader! Welcome back! I hope your holidays were restful and that you're easing into the new year with intention (and maybe not too much pressure). Speaking of pressure, can we talk about resolutions for a second? Every January, we set these rigid goals, and by February, most of us feel like we've already failed. The problem isn't us. The problem is that resolutions are static, but our businesses (and lives) are anything but. A roadmap is better than a resolution because it...

Happy Tuesday, Reader! Happy almost New Year! We're still on our holiday break (back in the office Monday, January 5), but I wanted to reach out with a special offer for anyone who's been considering The $250K Club. Register by Midnight Tomorrow & Get a Bonus Kickoff Workshop If you register for The $250K Club by 11:59 PM on New Year's Eve, you'll get exclusive access to a bonus 90-minute workshop with me on Tuesday, January 6. (We won't see your registration until Monday, but the magical...

Hi Reader, As I’m sure many of you remember from years past, we're closing our doors for the last two weeks of December. This tradition has become non-negotiable for us, as it’s a time when our team can truly step away, knowing that most of our clients are doing the same. And, it's how we practice what we preach: Rest and leaning into community are essential for sustainability. With that being said… Our offices are closed from December 20 through January 4 to allow our team time to rest...
