Have you ever wondered the REAL story behind a business or the person running it? Not the shiny, glossed over version that omits key things from the past, but the actual story, privilege and all?Yeah, me too. My take is this: If you're going to listen to me, read my work, and potentially work with me, you deserve truth and transparency. Especially as I literally talk about trust. How can you possibly trust me if I'm burying my past? And that's exactly why in this episode, I'm sharing my backstory — from who I've worked with, the privilege I've benefited from in my life and what running a trust-driven business in 2021 looks like for me.

Own It, Don't Erase It

Growing a solo service business is tough. It's even harder when you're bombarded with BS advice that steers you away from your values and why you started your business in the first place. 

This is the podcast for solo creatives and consultants who want to remain as a team of one and have zero interest in the hustle and grind of typical business teachings. 

Most podcasts for solopreneurs and freelancers, hosted by out-of-touch celebrity entrepreneurs who haven't offered one-to-one services in years, miss the mark on today's market realities.

Maggie Patterson, a service business owner for 20 years, understands that to stay solo, you need to know what matters to you, what works for you, and what you should completely ignore. 

In each episode, she examines one piece of conventional business advice to discover how it may hurt your business or be completely wrong for you as a solo business owner. 

Join Maggie for real talk to help you avoid burnout or the desire to entirely burn down your business to open a flower shop, book store, or cat cafe. (Because those cats won't pay the bills.)
