Work Less, Earn More

I just finished episode 247 and it is FULL of gold!! Gillian and Mallory share so many practical tips about avoiding burnout while growing a business! Three tips that really stood out to me were building in boredom, giving myself space to experiment and experience variety in each business and thinking of possible exit strategies! It was also helpful to hear about the different signs of burnout! Thank you for this interview, I look forward to more!

I love Gillian’s content because she doesn’t hold back. She shares the information you really want to know & always provides value 🙌

I’m really thrown off by this podcast. The speaker comes off as quite arrogant - in her interview with Jenny Hoyos there were a couple times where she sort of bullied Jenny into agreeing with her, making comparisons between her channel and Jenny’s, etc. At one point, Jenny was talking in essence about how she doesn’t believe the algorithm “helps” her content, but rather that she’s mastered it. It was an interesting distinction that runs counter to what a lot of creators say, and she was in the middle of elaborating on that - when the podcast host sort of barged in and said “well no the algorithm definitely helped you” and listed off all these reasons she thought Jenny was wrong. It was such a disappointment because what Jenny was saying was actually *really interesting*! But clearly the host wasn’t interested and disagreed, so she barged past it, and Jenny graciously let the point go. It was really strange to listen to - it felt like she was not giving Jenny enough oxygen and authority as the expert, and rather kept bullying into the conversation with agreements or disagreements. Overall really off-putting. Jenny was great, took it like a champ. But the podcast was difficult to listen to nonetheless.

Decent content for new solopreneurs but Gillian does not have enterprise or multi-million dollar experience. Very likable. However she sounds like she has a perpetual frog in her throat, like she needs to clear her throat. It is distracting for a podcast and makes me clear my own throat. Wish she would fix this.
