In this episode, professional organizer Kathy Burns sits down with visibility coach and podcast mentor Julie Marty Pearson to discuss how women entrepreneurs can amplify their voices through podcasting. Whether you are a seasoned business owner or just starting your journey, this conversation will inspire you to step into the spotlight and share your message with the world. Julie shares her fascinating transition from a twenty-year career in higher education to becoming a leader in the podcasting space.
