Introducing The Breakout Moment Podcast, the straight talk podcast for B2B small business owners navigating the messy middle of growth.

Host Christina May shares why the show exists. From growing up around small business to building her own company, she explains the gap this podcast is designed to fill.

Each episode will break down one real business win. What changed, what worked, what didn’t, and how it showed up in the numbers.

The Breakout Moment: Real Stories & Actionable Tips for Growing Businesses in the Messy Middle

The Breakout Moment is a sharp, 20-minute, case-study-driven podcast built for established B2B owners stuck in the “messy middle” — the stage where growth stalls, revenue plateaus, and systems start to strain. Each episode delivers practical, real-world strategies to help leaders push past ceilings and scale with intention. Hosted by Christina May, founder and CEO of Illumine8. ​
On this channel you will find:

Real business case studies across marketing, sales, and RevOps
Receipts that focus on the decisions and numbers behind growth
“What You Can Steal” takeaways you can apply in your own business

This is not startup hype or internet guru advice. The stories come from companies that look a lot like yours. Construction firms, manufacturers, distributors, and B2B service companies working through the challenges of growing from about $500k to several million in revenue.
