EmpowerHER Business Podcast (formerly Women of Color in Business)
Welcome to the EmpowerHER Business Podcast — the unapologetic space for Black women entrepreneurs building bold businesses and beating the odds in their FIRST FIVE years.
Here, we talk about the real journey: money, mindset, and the messy middle that nobody warns you about. From beating the 97% failure rate to mastering your cash flow and building a business that lasts, this is where you’ll find the clarity, confidence, and community to keep going.
In our biweekly episodes, host Linette Cottrell — accountant, coach, and advocate for Black women founders — brings you bold conversations, survival strategies, and legacy-driven insights designed to help you thrive beyond year five.
✨ If you’re ready to ditch scarcity thinking, step fully into your CEO role, and build the empire you deserve — you’re in the right place.

Part 1 w/ Mari: The Power of the Pivot (Broadway Wisdom Included)
What do business pivots, passion vs. calling, and Wicked the Musical have in common? More than you'd think.
In this episode, we explore what it really means to change direction—whether in your work, your identity, or your purpose—and how sometimes the boldest move is becoming who you were meant to be all along.
✨ From Elphaba’s transformation to real-life reinvention, we’re diving into:
– Why pivoting isn’t failure
– The difference between passion and calling
– How to recognize when it’s time for change
– And why Wicked might just be the business mentor you didn’t know you needed
If you're standing at a crossroads, this one's for you. Time to defy gravity.
