Insightful and actionable

The stories shared and tips embedded continually leave me a better entrepreneur.

I feel like I’m right there leaning into the pain and learning alongside Leila. She keeps it real and to the point. I would rather listen to this podcast on repeat and act on the insights than get bombarded by info elsewhere. Do yourself a favor and listen in!
