Badass Women in Business
Meredith Farley: From Corporate Leader to Founder and Owning Your Voice on LinkedIn
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the Badass Women in Business podcast, Aggie and Cristy sit down with Meredith Farley, founder of Medbury, an agency that helps executives and founders turn their real world experience into credible thought leadership on LinkedIn.
Meredith shares her journey from being a writing major during the 2009 financial crash to spending 13 years inside a fast growing content agency, eventually stepping into senior leadership. After being laid off just days after closing on her home, she made the decision to bet on herself and build Medbury.
The conversation dives into the mindset shift from corporate stability to entrepreneurship, the loneliness and self doubt that show up in year one, and why so many capable women remain invisible despite their expertise. Meredith also breaks down her practical LinkedIn framework and explains how visibility, when done right, does not require constant posting but clarity, consistency, and courage.
Key Topics Discussed
• Transitioning from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship
• Navigating a layoff and using it as a catalyst for growth
• The mindset challenges of the first year in business
• Perfectionism and why women are often harder on themselves
• Gender bias and visibility in business
• Building authority on LinkedIn without posting every day
• Creating content that aligns with your profile and positioning
• Identifying and refining your ideal client over time
• Balancing enterprise clients with solopreneurs
• Letting go of the myth of the “perfect business person
