Tell Me About It
Welcome to Tell Me About It: the no-filter podcast for real people building real businesses (and real lives)
This is NOT your typical business podcast.
I’m your host, Cait Muir, ex-salon owner turned 7-figure business coach for service-based business owners.
Tell Me About It is the podcast that skips the Instagram-perfect BS and dives straight into the messy, sweary, empowering journey of life and entrepreneurship.
Each episode delivers powerful lessons, honest failures, big wins, and behind-the-scenes stories from my own journey - from $300K in debt to building, selling, and scaling multiple businesses.
We talk:
- What actually works when you're scaling your business and life
- How to navigate burnouts, breakdowns & breakthroughs
- Real convos with wild, wise, and successful humans doing epic sh*t - inside and outside of business
If you’re tired of playing by everyone else’s rules, this podcast will remind you that the magic is in the mess.
This podcast is brutally honest, intentional, and probably a little unhinged…
And it’s absolutely what you’ve been waiting for.
New episodes drop every week.
