Built for the EdgeAuthor: Kehla G
Built for the Edge is a podcast about why businesses that look successful on the surface can still feel harder to run than they should and what it actually takes to change that. Hosted by Kehla G., the show looks at whats happening underneath stalled growth, founder bottlenecks, inconsistent results, and businesses that keep resetting instead of compounding. We talk about leadership, decision-making, business architecture, measurement, and what needs to change when too much of the business still depends on the founder. Some episodes are solo. Some are conversations with founders, operators, and people who think differently about how businesses grow. The question underneath all of them is usually the same: what is actually happening here, and what would need to change for this business to work better? If youve already built something, know how to sell, and still feel like the business requires more effort than it should, youre in the right place. 550 episodes.

E #552: Why Your Business Makes Money But Isn't Profitable with Pam Ivey
Episode 579
Sunday, 11 October, 2026
Your business might be generating hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue, but how much of that money are you actually keeping? In this episode of Built for the Edge, I'm joined by Pam Ivey, business and marketing strategist, educator, and founder of Profitable on Purpose, for a conversation about what it really takes to build a profitable business. Because generating more revenue doesn't automatically mean you're making more money. When your expenses increase, your offers become more demanding to deliver, and your time is consumed by the day-to-day operations, growth can actually make your business less profitable. Pam and I get into why looking at your bank account isn't enough, what you need to be measuring, and how the decisions you're making—or avoiding—directly influence your bottom line. In this episode, we explore: The difference between revenue, cash flow, and profitability. Why two offers generating the same revenue can have completely different profit margins. How delivery costs, operational expenses, and owner capacity affect profitability. The importance of regularly reviewing your numbers rather than waiting until the end of the year. The difference between doing $10 tasks and making $1,000 or $10,000 decisions. How hiring, client selection, and delayed decisions can impact the financial health of your business. We also talk about Pam's upcoming Profitable on Purpose conference, happening October 23rd in Greater Victoria, BC, where I'll be joining an incredible group of speakers. This isn't another event where you get inspired for a day and then return to business as usual. It's a hands-on experience designed to help established women business owners make meaningful decisions, take action, and continue implementing what they've learned after the event. If you're on Vancouver Island, we'd love to see you there!
