Today we’re kicking off a brand new year with a brand new episode in a brand new podcast studio! We could not be more excited!! And today, Rachel Rodgers is joined by two dear friends and business minds: Robert Hartwell and Susan Hyatt. 

Robert Hartwell is a former Broadway star and the founder of The Broadway Collective. He’s also – rather importantly, may we add – Rachel’s bestie. Susan is a Life Coach, Bestselling Author, and TEDx Speaker who helps women get more of whatever they want (our kinda woman, right?!). Both our guests, and Rachel herself, know a thing or two about the importance of networking, making friends, and building relationships.

It can be lonely out there y’all. In fact, 1 in 2 Americans admit to feeling lonely. And if you are one of those people, then we are about to change that within the next hour. 

We’re going to be breaking down exactly how YOU, in 2025, can make friends and battle any signs of loneliness without having to change who you are, or pretend to be somebody else.

We hope you enjoy, and do let us know what you think of the new Hello Seven studio!
