Welcome to Hello Frances, the podcast for curious creatives, emerging entrepreneurs, and business owners seeking knowledge, purpose, and community.
Each month, we bring you two fresh episodes that spark ideas and foster connections as we explore the creative journey. With candid conversations featuring guests, friends, and mentors, you’ll gain diverse insights and inspiration to fuel your best work. Every episode is refreshingly brief—never exceeding 30 minutes—making it the perfect addition to your playlist of favorites.
Join us for meaningful dialogue and actionable ideas. Let’s get started!
In this episode of Hello Frances, Shantelle sits down with John Tondello and Carrie Summerlin from SimpleHR to explore creativity in a place most people don’t expect to find it — Human Resources. Far from the reputation of being all rules and regulations, this conversation uncovers how creative thinking shows up in sales, relationship-building, and supporting business owners in meaningful ways.
John and Carrie share the unique ways they approach problem-solving, adapt to diverse business needs, and communicate the SimpleHR story with authenticity. They also reflect on the moments that remind them why their work matters — the wins, the impact, and the human connections that make their roles so rewarding.

Out to Discover: Intuition at the Helm with Shantelle Hernandez
In this episode of Hello Frances, Shantelle Dedicke chats with the adventurous Shantelle Hernandez about the transformative year that reshaped her life, business, and creative work. After intentionally pausing their thriving homebuilding company Shantelle and her family set off to travel the world; unaware of how dramatic that journey would become.
She shares the story of living aboard a yacht, the night it crashed into a rock wall off Kimolos, Greece, and the emergency evacuation that followed. The experience inspired Hernandez’s role as the family’s primary storyteller on their YouTube channel, We Are Out to Discover (https://www.youtube.com/@weareouttodiscover), where they now blend travel, lessons learned abroad, and a fresh return to the building industry.
Tune in for a powerful conversation about intuition, resilience, and reinvention!
