  • If you’re not a #girlboss, this is the podcast is for you

    When I started consulting I unknowingly fell into the trap Leah talks about. I was looking for entrepreneurial podcasts and found a ton, but what I didn’t understand was that they were b2c, NOT b2b tactics. But that’s not the only thing! So, I’m nonbinary, and I was listening to female entrepreneurs because the salsebro vibe of the male podcasters gave me the ick. But the podcasts I was listening to were talking specifically to the “girlies”. So for months I had to listen to these women calling ... more

    Each episode I’ve listened to has been valuable. I naturally chosen the shorter episodes, easier to weave into my day.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

153: Get paid for your experience instead of your labor, with Jeanne Meyer
Q: What advice would you give to communications professionals who come out of communications and start their own thing?
Meyer advises identifying a distinctive strength through self-reflection and stakeholder interviews, defining an ideal customer, and avoiding generic full-service positioning. Those considering an agency should plan for the different requirements of scaling and infrastructure.
153: Get paid for your experience instead of your labor, with Jeanne Meyer
Q: How do you price that? How do you scope it?
Meyer describes offering retainers for clients that need ongoing work, individually priced projects for time-bound needs, and a credit-based on-call subscription for unpredictable advice requests. She sets the value and scope for each engagement rather than pricing by the hour.
152: How Kara van Stralen built a business sturdy enough for real life
Q: What prompted the shift from government work to starting your own firm?
After a long career in government and a brief stint at a larger lobbying firm, life changes—like starting a family and needing flexibility—pushed me to go independent. I wanted a pathway and stability in my business, not just busyness.
152: How Kara van Stralen built a business sturdy enough for real life
Q: Tell listeners who you are and what you do?
I founded Vista Strategies, a full-service government affairs firm focused on state, local, and federal lobbying, with most of my work centered in Colorado. I work with job-creating clients who align with my values and help them navigate government processes.
148: From taking the work to leading the work, with Shanna Hocking
Q: What is the jungle, and how do you navigate it in sales conversations?
The jungle is a complex, multi-decision-maker sales process with evolving requests; the approach is to acknowledge the client's ask, articulate what is actually needed, and guide them to the best value while staying true to your offerings.
