The Rainmaker Podcast
Stepping into leadership isn’t for the faint of heart. It's a gladiatorial arena, an unceasing battle against time, expectations, and the pressures of creating impact. For Marketers at every level, the leap from being a leader to becoming a Rainmaker – a master of self, team, role, and impact – often feels like an impossible task.
That’s where the Rainmaker Podcast comes in.
'Elevating Marketing Leaders' is not just a tagline – it's a mission. Each episode is filled with genuine, unscripted conversations with trailblazers from every corner of the business world.
These aren’t just marketers from big brands with huge budgets. These are the Marketing Leaders who have transcended the norm, overcoming obstacles and achieving the extraordinary. And inside, they’re sharing the hard-earned victories and the lessons from their struggles, giving you an insider's perspective on what it truly takes to become a Rainmaker.
We expose the conversations usually brushed under the rug and unmask game-changing strategies that are rarely discussed, like handling burnout, justifying the need for support, articulating ROI, managing 'drive-by' crises, and more.
Here you’ll find your safe space, a place where the pressures of time take a backseat, allowing you to focus on your career growth and well-being. Our goal is to inspire, providing you with the insights and tools to master your role, nurture your team, prioritize your well-being, and evolve into a career-advancing Rainmaker. Because that’s where innovation truly comes alive – at the intersection of principles, good practice, and diverse perspectives.
Are you ready to elevate, step into your fullest potential, and embrace the journey to becoming a Rainmaker?
Then join me each Wednesday for new episodes of the Rainmaker Podcast.
Let’s make it rain!

Is Your Business Built to Survive Tariffs, AI & Market Whiplash? with Carlyn Bushman
What does it take to lead a resilient business in a world that won’t stop shifting?
This week, strategist and consultant Carlyn Bushman joins me for a real, unfiltered conversation about what female founders are up against in 2025 and how to lead through the chaos with clarity, data, and confidence.
Carlyn shares her perspective on why too many women are letting external pressures like tariffs, tech disruptions, and economic uncertainty dictate the future of their businesses.
We explore how to separate emotion from strategy, why data should be your first stop when making decisions, and how to find opportunity in relationships you’ve been neglecting.
This conversation is part wake-up call, part tactical blueprint. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or reactive in your business, Carlyn’s insights will help you shift into a more grounded, intentional role as a founder and leader.
