In this inspiring episode of Founders Across Borders, host Yukta Kandhari sits down with podcaster, entrepreneur, and former teacher Candice Dudley to unpack her journey from the classroom to building a thriving service-based business through podcasting.
Candice opens up about the burnout that led her to leave teaching, the identity crisis that followed, and how starting her podcast became both a personal outlet and a powerful business growth tool. She shares her process for navigating financial uncertainty, confronting self-doubt, and taking action before she felt “ready.” Together, Yukta and Candice explore how confidence is built through consistent action, the importance of serving others, and why solo episodes can be a game-changer for authority building.
Their conversation also covers the intersection of ethical business and audience growth—offering insights on pricing strategies, money mindset shifts, and the balance between giving generously and selling effectively. Candice explains why self-reflection is essential for aligning offers with personal values, and how building a smaller but engaged community can be far more powerful than chasing large numbers.
