    Mar 1 2026

    What does it actually look like when you stop treating your consulting like a passion project and start treating it like a business? Rachel Huff-Doria found out.

  • 136: Entrepreneurship is a spiritual journey, with Debra Boulanger
    Feb 15 2026

    Most people think building a consulting business is about learning the right strategies. But Debra Boulanger sees it differently - she believes entrepreneurship isn't just what you do, it's a spiritual journey that changes who you are. In this conversation, we talk about the identity shift from corporate to business owner, what it really takes to succeed beyond the tactics everyone talks about, and why the inner transformation matters just as much as the outer work.

  • 135: How to grow AND create more time for yourself with Kathy Guillory
    Feb 1 2026

    When Kathy Guillory started her marketing consulting business, she fell into the same trap most consultants do: saying yes to everyone and working constantly. But a few years in, something shifted. She started blocking off entire days, staggering her clients differently, and asking CEOs a question that completely changed how they saw her. The result? She made more money than ever, and had the time to write and publish a children's book. In this episode, Kathy shares exactly how she did it.
