How I Built My Small Business
2025 Communicator Award of Excellence in the Educational Series category
2024 + 2025 People's Choice Podcast Awards Finalist Nominee x 2
Named "One of the Best Business Podcasts" by Ramsey
In 'How I Built My Small Business,' we explore real-life entrepreneurship and building a meaningful, balanced life.
The show’s guests (diverse in industry, experience, and background) open up about the real stories behind building a business: the wins, the mistakes, and the values that shape their choices.
This is not a business show focused on the numbers of the game. It’s about the founder’s journey and their way of thinking. If you are looking for a show that talks about top line, bottom line, profit margin, and mainly financial info… this is not the show for you.
While you’ll find some episodes in Season One (and sporadically thereafter) that include financials, the host’s interest is more in the human(s) behind the business.
Sometimes an episode is a masterclass, other times it’s an honest, heart-opening connection between two people. There’s always curiosity, growth, and learning through storytelling… with a sprinkle of life wisdom.
Every guest has started a business at some point in their journey, and the line-up includes a 50/50 split of women and men.
Whether you're a founder, dreamer, curious individual or lifelong learner, I hope each episode makes you think or leaves you with at least one spark that inspires your own path or broadens your perspective.
Thank you for listening. Let’s learn together.
