Customer Reviews
Love this show!
Fun, informative, and packed with strategies for how to run your business effectively. I especially loved the episodes on boundary setting, such a difficult thing to navigate as a business owner but so important to be continually mindful of.
Very informative
Emily is discussing important and yet little spoken about topics related to business and entrepreneurship. Each episode is very fruitful, you finish with a full pack of knowledge and applicable tips.
First Time Listening! — Episode with Nikki Nash
Emily is such a fabulous podcast host! I loved the podcast episode with Nikki Nash. The aha moments were the best and I loved the energy you both brought to the episode since it was my first time tuning in! I always feel like marketing is so nuanced but it was refreshing to hear that a marketing plan is a simple roadmap that will help you accomplish your goals.
