Already obsessed with this podcast

The trailer and Episode 1 alone have me hooked! As a Black female entrepreneur, I’m always looking for business coaching from people who can relate to my personal experiences. Just as I can’t separate my race and gender from my identity, so to do I expect my business coach to understand and incorporate it’s implications in their guidance. Nakia totally gets it! Looking forward to more!

I LOVE IT!

This podcast has me ALL in! I wanted more! Nakia’s knowledge, transparency, realness and passion made this podcast enjoyable and easy to listen to. It also inspired me to think bigger. Can’t wait for more episodes!

This podcast came right on time for me!

As an entrepreneur, I feel like Nakia was talking to me. At a certain point, it started to feel like I was working a job instead of running a business. And I knew I wanted to stop working so hard but wasn't sure how. Already in the first episode, she shared resources and inspired me to get from behind this laptop and connect with other people who've already been where I want to go. Can't wait for what else she has to share!
