Friends With Businesses
You know that feeling when you're hanging out with a business-owning friend who just gets it, nerding out on strategy, spilling the tea, going all the way there about work and life? That's what happens here on Friends With Businesses.
I'm AnnMarie Rose, founder, mom, wife, and business strategist who has spent over a decade (and made multiple millions) helping coaches, consultants, and agency owners life-proof their businesses with leverage: multiplying revenue and impact while reducing what's required from them to make it happen.
Every week, it's either just us -- me riffing solo on the ins and outs and real talk about leading a thriving business and a full life -- or me and one of my real friends who happen to run incredible businesses.
The vibe around here is honest, unfiltered truth. Always.
Not the highlight reel. Not the bloggable listicle. No press tour canned answers.
Just real talk from real people who are really in it, growing businesses that last and leading lives that feel meaningful.
So, cozy up. Come as you are. Let's get into it.

Does every business decision need to make strategic sense on paper? Not exactly...
AnnMarie has been in business over a decade, and she has always known she'd eventually start a podcast. This episode gets into what actually made her move now, including the creative itch she couldn't keep expressing through voice memos in the pickup line, and the way her intuition tends to speak to her when she's about to make a big call.
Plus, she gets into the idea behind Friends With Businesses -- and why this show concept matters so much to her.
If you've got something you've been sitting on, waiting for the timing to be perfect or the plate to be clear, you're going to want to hear this one. This is for anyone who has ever needed permission to move before everything made sense on paper.
Dished on this episode:
- The podcast idea AnnMarie shelved 10 years ago, and why
- Why creative self-expression is a strategic move
- How AnnMarie's intuition actually talks to her

The bottom line of this conversation? Not everything has to make 100% strategic sense on paper. Sometimes you just know it's time, and that's enough to move.
