Listen Later

Are you building a business… or just your own very stressful job? Lauren Goldstein (aka the Biz Doctor) joins Michelle to discuss what makes a business "legacy" versus "lifestyle," and why your self-worth shouldn't be tied to your revenue report. From setting boundaries that actually stick, to leveling up in the age of AI, this conversation is a crash course for leaders, freelancers, and anyone determined not to reply to Slack messages from bed. Get the real secrets to finding freedom inside and outside of work.

Lauren Goldstein is who 7- and 8-figure business owners call when they're stuck in the weeds of success and need their business to truly run without them. An award-winning business consultant and advisor, she is the founder of Golden Key Partnership, a boutique business consulting firm where for over a decade she has fixed broken team dynamics, untangled operational chaos, and helped leaders reclaim their time and sanity. Nicknamed The Biz Doctor®, Lauren diagnoses what is actually holding the business back and builds custom strategies that create clarity, capacity, and a culture that scales. Her work has helped some of the most respected small business owners build companies they actually enjoy running again, and through her top 5% globally ranked podcast, The Biz Doctor®, she shares those same unfiltered insights and tactics with business owners ready to lead smarter and work less. ------------------------ In today's episode, we cover the following:
