Badass Women in Business
Welcome to The Badass Women in Business Podcast, where real women share the unfiltered stories behind their success.
Hosted by Cristy O’Connor and Aggie Chydzinski, this podcast brings you inside the minds of founders, CEOs, and changemakers who have built, rebuilt, and redefined what leadership looks like.
Each week, you will hear how these women turned obstacles into opportunity, silence into strategy, and ambition into impact. These are not highlight reels. They are hard-earned lessons from women who built empires, challenged norms, and did it all on their own terms.
If you are building something, leading something, or dreaming of more, this show will light the fire that keeps you moving.
Subscribe now and join the movement of women rewriting the rules of business, one badass story at a time.
New episodes drop every Tuesday.
