Listen Later

The community that we have created with Cubicle to CEO never ceases to amaze me. This week’s episode was actually recorded live because it just so happened that I reached 25,000 friends on my personal Instagram account on the 25th of August. To celebrate, I hopped on live for 25 minutes to answer the questions that have been on my audience’s minds.


They asked some incredible, high-quality questions about how to continue to scale after hitting your first $10K month, tips for hiring, why email lists are important, how to audit your IG account, and when is the right time to invest in your business. Press play to listen to this off-the-cuff episode that will provide you with great knowledge to show up as a strong leader for your business.
