  • Solitude as Soil, Not Isolation

    This episode whispered what many fear to admit: being alone isn’t absence — it’s preparation. The lessons you learned in solitude are the roots from which your next impact grows. Thank you for showing that the most powerful leaders are first comfortable standing on their own.

  • Replacement of reading

    Being time poor I have been using this Podcast to fuel my education. Listening upon my one hour walks outdoors this not only helps with wellbeing but also intellectually. I would love to see more smaller businesses on these episodes as not all of us want to scale to ginormous heights, some just want a steady business that can help maintain the lifestyle you wouldn’t get working for a corporation.

  • Your insights on focusing on genuine connections with micro-influencers really struck a chord with me. The emphasis on higher engagement rates and dedicated audiences over sheer follower counts offers such a practical and refreshing approach to influencer marketing.
