Customer Reviews
Amazing insight and information
After having the honor of spending 15 minutes on a zoom call with Kalika, she recommended I listen to Kendra Scott’s interview with her. I too am a Jewelry Designer and Entrepreneur and often don’t know how to go from point A to B. After listening to just one podcast, I am in! This is going to the top of my listen list and Kalika has a beautiful and effective way of speaking. I love what she does, represents and will be signing up to work with her in the near future. Tanya Del Pozzo, Del Pozzo Jewelry
The real deal
I love listening to entrepreneur’s stories about how they got from A to Z. Kalika knows how to ask all of the questions I am thinking. Love this podcast!!
Powerful and Insightful
I love that this podcast isn’t cookie cutter. Kalika Yap really pulls out great stories from her guests. You really feel that the guests are comfortable and open up about their entrepreneurial journey. Learned a lot from each podcast. Great work!
