MYM 223 | Niki Hutchison: Launching with Confidence, Visibility & Simplicity
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Kay talks with marketing and launch strategist Niki Hutchison about visibility, growth, and launching offers without burning out. Niki shares her journey from advertising strategist… to running a kids’ hip-hop dance company with 3,000 students a week… to building a marketing agency and becoming “everywhere” online. She opens up about what success really means, how she manages business, events, travel, and family, and why support and boundaries are not optional when you’re scaling. Then we get into launching: what a launch actually is, why you don’t need a huge list, and how to sell your offer in a crowded market by building trust and showing up consistently.

(00:00) – Success: why most entrepreneurs don’t feel “successful”
