Unlock satisfaction and impact in your lifestyle business
with Monique Allen
Growing a business often means bringing on staff. Scaling a business means adopting new strategies to amplify our best services.
Team building strategies, from recruiting & hiring to onboarding & training, can feel like a massive distraction to the small business owner, but without a systematized process and keen focus on people, it’s difficult to develop and retain lasting teams.
🛎. In this episode the "Gardener of People", Monique Allen, takes us backstage to help owners navigate the rough waters of running, growing, and scaling their lifestyle businesses.
About Monique
Monique Allen, Founder & Creative Director of The Garden Continuum, is a master creator, interactive employer, published author, and fierce industry advocate. In nearly four decades, she has witnessed the landscape trade become extremely popular and commoditized, which has eroded the sustainability of our landscapes while undermining our ability to feel satisfaction from them.
As the founder of the Life-Scape Method, a lifelong gardener, business developer, and educator, Monique has dedicated her career to reversing that legacy by creative alternative approaches and sharing actionable information to spread a positive message about how we can all improve our land, our lives, and our professional satisfaction through Life-Scaping and compassionate business building.
In addition to running her own 7-figure business and publishing her first book, STOP Landscaping, START Life-Scaping, Monique is also an active business coach, specializing in artisan branding, team building, curating a positive company culture, and succeeding as a woman in a male-dominated industry.

AI Revolution in Marketing: Navigating the New Era
with Aziz Musa
In an era where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving, the traditional landscape of marketing is undergoing a seismic shift. The reliance on conventional content-driven methods is fading, as AI reshapes how businesses engage with customers and prospects. The emerging challenge for marketers and business operators is to adapt to a new reality where AI influences every facet of marketing strategy, from content creation to customer interaction.
🛎 In this episode, CEO and Founder of Aziz Musa addresses the pressing need for businesses to understand and integrate AI into their marketing practices.
We discuss:
🔍 The indicators and consequences of neglecting AI in marketing strategies.
🚀 How failing to adapt to AI's integration can lead to obsolescence in a competitive market.
💡 Practical solutions and strategies to leverage AI effectively.
About Aziz
Aziz Musa's journey is a testament to visionary leadership and indomitable spirit. As the youngest public company CEO in the UK, he had already carved a niche for himself in the corporate world. Yet, it was his bold move to Sudan in 2017 that truly defines his legacy.
With an aim to build a digital economy, Aziz founded Cush.Digital. However, as war erupted, businesses crumbled, and the landscape became increasingly volatile, he made the strategic decision to relocate to Egypt. Despite these challenges, Cush.Digital didn't just survive; it thrived, emerging as North Africa's premier digital marketing agency and making waves in the Middle East.
But Aziz's vision for Sudan was broader than just one successful company. He recognized the transformative power of digital knowledge in a country on the cusp of change. With this in mind, he trained over 4,000 Sudanese individuals in digital marketing, entirely free of charge. This wasn't just about imparting skills; it was about catalyzing change. As a result, hundreds of startups sprouted, heralding the birth of Sudan's digital economy. In the face of adversity, Aziz didn't just safeguard his company; he sowed the seeds for a nation's digital awakening.
