The Blue Sofa: Beyond Strategy — Leadership & Growth for Female Founders
The Blue Sofa is a podcast for female founders building, scaling, and leading businesses that grow beyond them.
Hosted by Mia Poulsen, these conversations explore business architecture, sales systems, founder leadership, growth psychology, and what it really takes to build a business that can make money, support your life, and grow beyond constant founder dependence.
This is not surface-level business advice. It’s a sharper conversation about what sits underneath growth, how a business is built, how sales actually work, where growth ceilings come from, and what the next stage of business really asks of the founder.
If you’re a female founder looking for stronger thinking, more honest insight, and a business that is built to grow well, welcome to The Blue Sofa.
