Conversations That Build Better Businesses

I'm Carleen Lamay, and this is the business podcast for service-based business owners who want real conversations, not surface-level advice. Because building a business is about way more than the numbers — and this show is proof. Each episode, I sit down with a business professional whose work helps owners build something stronger — coaches, consultants, creatives, and the people behind the scenes who actually move businesses forward. No scripts, no pitch decks. Just the kind of conversation you'd want to be a fly on the wall for. And because I can't help myself, I always bring it back to what it means for your bottom line — financial clarity, better decision-making, the numbers behind the story. That's my lane, and I love sharing it with you. If you're a service-based business owner building something that lasts, hit subscribe. New episodes drop bi-weekly.
