A bird’s eye view into starting a business.

Following Emily through the ups and downs in starting her business is a great way to learn what it takes to find success. It was great to see how she overcame the bumps in the road and gave me new ideas on how to conquer some of my own.

YAAAAAS!

This is exactly what I needed! This is great information for people that have a business idea and don’t know what to do with it. Thanks for letting us tag along with your journey with Almanac Supply Co.

Just what I need

I started listening to Being Boss in the fall of 2017 and was excited to hear about this sister podcast about making a new business from the ground up. This will be one of the few podcasts I listen to as they’re released and I don’t plan to miss a single episode. I love the honesty and realistic perspective on business and entrepreneurship and life. It is SO helpful as I seek wisdom to start up my own business. Thank you!

Huzzah for Kathleen + Emily!

Can Kathleen and Emily make all of the podcasts? If you're just starting out in business, or if you need someone who gets your spiritual side, or if you just want to be inspired... you're done. Stop looking. You've found it.

If you’ve felt left out as a product boss listening to business podcasts focused on service-based businesses, you’re in luck! Kathleen and Emily of BEING BOSS dish the real details of starting a product-based business from the very beginning. Real, super actionable information. A must-listen.
