The Girls Mean Business™ Podcast
Ten minutes or less, every weekday, on the real stuff of running a small business.
The Girls Mean Business has been supporting women in business since 2011. Claire Mitchell is a marketing and business coach with over 25 years of experience - she's built her own businesses, made plenty of mistakes along the way, and helped thousands of women build theirs. So the conversations are honest, practical, and always feel like a chat rather than a lecture.
Marketing, money, pricing, confidence, visibility, productivity - and the everyday stories that remind you you're not on your own with any of it. Perfect for the commute, the school run, or a quiet ten minutes with a cup of tea.
