In this episode of Founders, Future, host Ammar Elm sits down with Sheila Butler, founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Butler Marketing Group. With over 25 years of experience at powerhouse brands like Disney, JPMorgan Chase, and Choice Hotels, Sheila shares how she made the leap from high-level corporate roles to launching her own boutique marketing firm in Florida.

Sheila opens up about her career pivot, the mental and logistical challenges of becoming a solopreneur, and the realities of building a business from scratch—including why she gave up on the idea of “balance.” She also breaks down her unique offerings, from her proprietary brand transformation bootcamps to fractional CMO services and loyalty program optimization.
