Let's be honest: building a company from nothing is freaking hard. It has been for me. I grew my company Accelity from 0 to 7 figures with no partners and no funding. I'm also a startup mentor, a speaker, and a dedicated mother of three. Welcome to The Art of Entrepreneurship podcast—I’m your host, Jackie Hermes.
Listen in as I share all the mistakes I’ve made and, more importantly, what I’ve learned from them, with no fluff, and no rose-colored glasses. The Art of Entrepreneurship is a show where we cut through the BS and dig into what it actually takes to start and grow a business.
I’ll be giving unfiltered advice 1 episode per week, up to 20 minute per episode. I want you to walk away from this podcast with the mindset and tools you need to be successful.
This podcast is for entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and busy professionals with a short attention span (like me)—you’ll get quick-hitting, actionable information in every single episode. If you give me your time, I promise it won't be wasted. Now let's get to work!

How to be a leader when you don’t want to be a manager
This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for anyone ready to challenge the norm by creating an organization where anyone can be a leader—even if they aren’t a manager.
Way too often we assume that career advancement means becoming a manager and having direct reports. That’s awesome for some people, but it’s not always the best use of a team member’s talent. Once you let go of having only one path for leadership, you give people multiple paths to success.
Tune in for examples of what leadership without management can look like within your organization.
