You can’t ignore the back-end pieces that have to work together and flow smoothly in order to build a brand, grow a movement or disrupt an industry. If the operations side of your business is a mess, putting out fires will always take priority… leaving no room for creative innovation, fun visibility or networking with powerhouse peers (or wannabe peers).
If you’re soaking up what I’m spilling and are getting a little excited about operations, I invite you to listen to The Ops Authority podcast. Every week, I will share actionable strategies from the Director of Ops community to move your business forward and transformational stories of powerhouse business owners who now value operations.

Pure Gold 🥇🥇🥇
Natalie and this show have been coming across my radar for a while, and while I've always been interested the work she does, I've only recently started listening to the podcast.
So glad I finally did, as the show is full of gold, even as someone who's a certified systems and operations nerd and has been building a successful online biz for the past 5 years. There are a lot of similar shows out there but Natalie’s personality and perspective really set this show apart.
Do yourself a favour and check this show out!
