The Rooms That Rejected Her Built Her Leadership Skills with Tina Larsson
Aug 18, 202626 minS2
You've probably been in a room where nobody wanted to hear what you had to say. Tina Larsson walked into an industry that didn't want outside consultants and stayed anyway. As a former Wall Street analyst turned co-op and condo consultant, she learned that data doesn't panic, and neither does she. In this episode, Tina breaks down how she leads with numbers instead of opinion, what she does when a room refuses to listen, and why she's fired clients who voted down $250,000 in savings because they were too risk-averse to act. If you've been doubting whether to stay in the uncomfortable room, this one's for you. -------------- DISCLAIMER: This podcast is sponsored by AskYvi.com.

Bad Decisions Start With Who's in the Room - with Kylee Ingram
Aug 11, 202626 minS2
If your team keeps repeating the same bad decision, decision making starts with who's in the room. Most rooms get that wrong. Kylee Ingram spent years directing documentaries in over 100 countries before she built a decision intelligence platform. In this episode, she breaks down why decision making fails long before the meeting starts, and why adding more people to a room doesn't fix a broken process. You'll hear the three biases that quietly run every decision room, what happens to people who don't fit the two dominant leadership types, and the one thing Kylee says to check before your next big call. It's the room design problem behind decisions you've already lived through. -------------- DISCLAIMER: This podcast is sponsored by AskYvi.com.

Built to Be Overlooked. We Are Raising Startup Funding Anyway - Allison Byers
Aug 5, 202629 minS2
You didn't make it into venture capital because you didn't know the system was designed to keep you out. Allison Byers raised $9.6 million, hit every milestone, and still couldn't close her Series B. What happened next changed everything she knew about startup funding. In this episode, Allison walks through what the data actually says about where venture capital goes (the number will make you furious!!), why the fundraising advice most founders follow is built for people who already have access, and what it looks like to find your people instead of convincing the wrong ones. This is one of those conversations where everything clicks into place and you realize the rejection wasn't about you. -------------- DISCLAIMER: This podcast is sponsored by AskYvi.com.

She Turned a $20 Book Into a $100K Community - Lauren Erickson
Jul 28, 202628 minS2
You've spent years building expertise. You've got clients. Results. A track record. And you still haven't built the thing that pays you when you're not in the room. Lauren Erickson's client had a $20 self-published finance book. Dry topic. Small audience. Amazon royalties that weren't retiring anyone. She turned it into a $100K community. No massive following. No ad budget. Just the right people, a warm network, and a framework for packaging what he already knew. The book was never the product. It just opened the door. In this episode Lauren breaks down her PANN framework, the four things established founders need before they productize their expertise: a Proven method, Authority, a Niche, and a Network. We also get into why the founders with the most experience are usually the ones who wait the longest to build something with it. We cover: What's really stopping established founders from productizing (it's not time) What a warm network actually means and how to use it to launch How to sell knowledge products in high-trust industries like law and finance without cheapening your reputation The one question to ask your network before you build anything If you've been saying "I'll build it when I have more time" for two years, this episode is for you. -------------- DISCLAIMER: This podcast is sponsored by AskYvi.com.

How to Sell a Business When You Don't Know Who You Are Without It with Alisha Pennington
Jul 21, 202631 minS2
Most women who build a business never think about selling it. Nobody told them they could. Your coaching practice, your agency, your product, your podcast. All of it has value beyond what you're earning from it right now. And at some point, life is going to ask you what comes next. Alisha Pennington built a company for 12 years, earned three Inc. 5000 recognitions, and sold it for multi-seven figures. She's now building Exette, a business to help other women learn how to exit their business. Because only 1.37% of businesses that sell a majority stake are female-founded. She wanted to understand why. Alisha found out that the barrier isn't financial. Most women have never separated who they are from what they built. So when it's time to walk away, it feels like walking away from themselves... Does that ring a bell for you? If this sparks something inside you, this episode is the perfect listen for you. And by the end, you'll look at what you're building completely differently. -------------- DISCLAIMER: This podcast is sponsored by AskYvi.com.

Recent guests on She Is A Leader - The Podcast for Women Creating Impact, Profit, and Peace in Their Business. Study who booked and why before you pitch.
Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
