  • My go to!

    I listen to this all the time while driving. I love the way Rachel speaks to people, I find a lot of podcast hosts tend to ask questions but not really listen and talk over the guests but Rachel gives people so much space to share. There’s a wide range of topics to listen to which is great!

  • A genius!

    Rachel is an absolute genius, taking subject and ideas I’ve procrastinated about for months (years in some cases!) and turning it into a simple task, something I can do myself and achieve a great result from. Absolutely love all her podcasts and eagerly await the next. Can’t recommend enough for all small business owners, not being a pet business doesn’t stop her content from being engaging, interesting and so informative.
