You Are Your Business
Welcome to You are Your business Podcast with Amy Sussex.
A podcast to chat you YOU, your life, you business and everything in between.
It is also a space to empower female entrepreneurs to navigate the rollercoaster of being in business. You began with a dream, a vision fueled by passion. In the world of entrepreneurship, it's easy to lose yourself in the whirlwind of your business – from setting boundaries to wearing all the hats: tech guru, marketing maven, sales expert, and customer service extraordinaire. It can feel overwhelming, daunting even. You didn't start your business to be stressed out 24/7.
Through this podcast, I'm here to remind you that you are not alone. Join us as we dive deep into strategies, share stories of triumph, and cultivate a community of like-minded individuals who understand the journey firsthand.
You are the most important thing in your business and I want to support you through this journey.
New Episode drops every Wednesday!
