Great businesses, real conversations, and the people building them.
Go Be Great with Karena Calhoun celebrates the entrepreneurs who built it, run it, and live it every day. Local or online, a few years in, pouring everything they have into something real.
Each week, Karena sits down with an owner to hear the honest story behind what they built — the grit, the wins, and the lessons only the people doing the work can tell.
Hosted by Karena Calhoun, founder of WarKry Consulting Solutions (warkry.com).

You Didn't Do Anything Wrong When It Didn't Take Off, with Telly Arnold
Entrepreneurship doesn't always look like the success stories you see online.
In this episode of Go Be Great, Karena Calhoun talks with Telly Arnold, a trucking entrepreneur and founder of Straight Connect, about the real challenges of building a business—from unexpected expenses and financial pressure to setbacks, pivoting, and learning from difficult experiences.
Telly shares her journey into the box truck industry without a trucking background and why community became such an important part of her entrepreneurial journey.
Together, Karena and Telly discuss why revenue isn't the whole story, why entrepreneurs shouldn't suffer in silence, and how the challenges we face can become lessons that help someone else.
A real conversation about entrepreneurship, resilience, community, and keeping going when things don't go according to plan.

What AI Was Doing Before We Called It AI with Arshavir Blackwell
Arshavir Blackwell was working in AI before anyone called it AI, back when it went by neural networks and machine learning. In this unscripted fireside chat, he pulls back the curtain on where AI came from, why generic tools make everyone sound the same, and what history tells us about technology and jobs. He also names the trap he calls Fluency is Validity: the habit of trusting an answer because it sounds smart. If AI has felt like a magic box or a threat, this conversation will leave you clearer and a lot less afraid.Connect with Arshavir:Inside the Black Box, his weekly Substack newsletter: insidetheblackbox.aiYourVoiceCraft, the local AI model that learns your voice: yourvoicecraft.aiFree resource: The Serve to Scale 5 Point Method, my full coaching program, is now free.

The Cost of Chaos
What if “busy” is actually a bill you're paying every day?
Karena Calhoun explores how business chaos can cost you more than revenue—it can cost you your health, time, relationships, clients, and freedom.
Sometimes, you don't need more leads. You need to fix the leaks in your existing business.
Your challenge: Look at the bill. What is your chaos really costing you?
