The New Age CEO Podcast
Welcome to The New Age CEO Podcast with Anna Nichols, founder and CEO of the Spiritual Business Incubator, where we explore what it really takes to build a purposeful, profitable, and sustainable business in the new age.
This podcast is for mission-driven entrepreneurs, coaches, healers, creatives, and visionary founders who know they’re here to build something bigger than themselves. Inside each episode, Anna blends practical business strategy with Human Design, energetics, leadership, spirituality, nervous system work, wealth consciousness, and aligned entrepreneurship to help you grow a business that supports both your mission and your life.
You’ll hear honest conversations about the journey from solopreneur to CEO, building aligned offers and sustainable systems, scaling without losing yourself, leadership in the new paradigm of business, and creating legacy-level impact through your work. From strategic planning and sales to Human Design, Gene Keys, astrology, and energetic alignment, this podcast bridges the practical and the spiritual in a grounded, actionable way.
If you’re ready to stop forcing outdated business models and start building a company that feels deeply aligned with who you are, The New Age CEO Podcast will help you step fully into your role as the leader your business needs next.

7. Failed Launch or Divine Intervention? Reflection on When You Don't Get What You "Think" You Want
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, I'm sharing a story that almost didn't make it to your ears. After recording this podcast, the audio disappeared, and as frustrating as that was, it became the perfect reminder of the lesson I wanted to teach: sometimes what feels like failure is actually divine intervention.
I also take you behind the scenes of what looked like a "failed" enrollment for the Spiritual Business Incubator and the surprising clarity that came from it. We explore the balance between practical business strategy and trusting divine timing, and why not getting what you thought you wanted may actually be creating space for something even better.
In this episode:
- Why a failed launch doesn't always mean you've failed
- The practical business lessons I learned from a disappointing enrollment cycle
- How Human Design, astrology, and intuition can help you navigate seasons of uncertainty
- The difference between poor planning and divine timing, and how to discern between the two
- Why staying committed to your mission matters more than immediate results
If you've ever launched something that didn't go as planned, questioned whether you were on the right path, or wondered if the universe was trying to tell you something, this episode is for you.
