Is This About Business?
Welcome to - Is This About Business?
Join Mike and Frankie Leyva-Doherty as they dive into the wild, unpredictable world of entrepreneurship—where business advice meets real talk, and nothing is off-limits. As the husband-and-husband duo behind Wholistic Agency and a growing portfolio of ventures, Mike and Frankie bring honest, unfiltered conversations about what it really takes to build multiple businesses while keeping your sanity intact.
Each episode blends practical business insights with the chaos of real entrepreneurship—think strategy sessions interrupted by life, marketing tips mixed with personal stories, and the kind of transparency most business podcasts won't touch.
Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur, a side-hustler, or just curious about what happens when ambition meets reality, this podcast is your front-row seat to the messy, beautiful journey of building something from scratch.
Expect laughs, lessons, and the occasional "wait, is this actually about business?" moment. Because the best business conversations happen when you stop pretending everything's perfect.
New episodes drop weekly. Let's talk business—or whatever this is.
