Like Nobody’s Business is the podcast for visionary women entrepreneurs, female founders, and values-driven leaders ready to go beyond the bottom line.

Host Emily Cassel (WMNûp Founder, Business Strategist + Leadership Coach) sits down with activists, innovators, and trailblazers to explore intersectionality, dismantling oppression, and driving systemic change. Because a woman’s place is in the resistance—and everywhere else she chooses to be. emilyinyourbusiness.substack.com

    Can We Disagree Without Hating Each Other? A New Approach to Political Conversations

    What if the problem isn’t that we disagree, but that we’ve stopped talking to each other? In this episode, I’m joined by Ed Manzi, founder of Unmuted, a civic dialogue initiative that’s reimagining how Americans engage in conversations about politics. Instead of shouting across social media, Ed is bringing people together in person to debate complex issues with curiosity, humor, and respect. Together, we explore: * Why social media algorithms are creating separate realities * How echo chambers shape the way we see politics * Why disagreement doesn’t have to lead to division * The importance of making civic engagement accessible and engaging * How meaningful conversations can strengthen democracy Whether you’re politically engaged or exhausted by today’s political climate, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on what it means to listen, challenge assumptions, and reconnect with people who think differently. If this conversation made you think differently about politics, civic engagement, or the value of honest dialogue, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

    Beyond Voting: How Women Are Building Political Power Together

    What if creating political change didn’t require running for office? In this episode, I’m joined by Emily Anastasiou and Lily Patricof, two leaders helping redefine what civic engagement looks like for the next generation. Through organizations like Juno and The Next 50, they’re empowering women to become informed political donors, build meaningful community, and invest strategically in the leaders shaping our future. Together, we explore: * Why voting is only one part of civic participation * How strategic giving can influence elections and public policy * Why women remain underrepresented as political donors * The importance of community, civic education, and respectful dialogue * How local and state races can have an outsized impact on national politics This conversation is a reminder that meaningful political participation isn’t reserved for candidates or career politicians. It’s available to anyone willing to show up, stay informed, and invest in the future they want to create. Whether you’re politically engaged or simply wondering where to begin, this episode offers practical ways to make a difference beyond Election Day. If this conversation inspired you to think differently about civic engagement and the role each of us can play in creating change, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

    The Ambition Penalty: Why Working Hard Isn't Enough for Women with Stefanie O'Connell

    What if the biggest barrier to women’s success isn’t confidence, ambition, or negotiating skills? In this episode, I’m joined by Stefanie O’Connell, award-winning journalist and author of The Ambition Penalty, to unpack the hidden systems that continue to hold ambitious women back, even as we’ve become more educated and accomplished than ever. Together, we explore: * Why the gender gap isn’t caused by a lack of ambition * The myths we’ve been told about women in the workplace * Why self-improvement alone can’t solve systemic problems * How community creates more change than individual achievement * What it really takes to build workplaces and cultures that work for everyone This conversation challenges the narratives we’ve accepted for decades and offers a new way of thinking about ambition, burnout, leadership, and collective action. If you’ve ever wondered why doing everything “right” still doesn’t always lead to equal opportunities, this episode is for you. If this conversation gave you a new perspective on ambition, leadership, and the systems shaping our lives, I’d love to hear what resonated with you.

    Why Silence Is Political: Amy McDonald on Women, Leadership & the Courage to Speak Up

    What happens when business, politics, and personal values collide? In this episode, I’m joined by Amy McDonald, podcast host, content creator, and political communicator, for a candid conversation about why neutrality is often a choice, how women have been conditioned to stay quiet, and what it really takes to create change. Together, we explore: * Why “staying out of politics” is still a political decision * The hidden systems that shape women’s leadership and ambition * How local conversations create national change * Why Millennials and Gen Z have an unprecedented opportunity to reshape the future * The power of history, community, and speaking up before it’s too late This isn’t a conversation about choosing sides. It’s about choosing to participate. If you’ve ever wondered whether your voice matters, I hope this episode reminds you that meaningful change rarely starts with a headline. It starts with ordinary people who are willing to have difficult conversations. If this conversation challenged your perspective or gave you a new way to think about leadership, history, and civic engagement, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
