Talk to Olena is an unfiltered podcast for RCICs and immigration lawyers who are building their business.

I’ve been a business owner for 12 years, and I’ve been through it all: From having no clients and hustling non-stop to get business to having too many clients and burning out.

I’ve navigated hiring and firing, struggled with team management, faced operational challenges in case processing, wrestled with how to serve clients well without losing myself.

Being an entrepreneur is hard.
Being an immigration practitioner and CEO at the same time - even harder.

So in this podcast, I’m sharing all of it in a very real, unfiltered way.
