The Biz Birthday Bash Podcast

It’s the end of an era - a podcast party era that is! We’ve had so much fun serving you behind the mic for 4 years, but recently we’ve experienced massive shifts in our lives and businesses that require us to say goodbye to the pod (Listen in to this episode for the deets!). While leaving our microphones behind is incredibly bittersweet, we’re excited to channel all of our energy into serving our amazing Biz Birthday Bash community inside of the A-Z directory. Sending each of you the biggest THANK YOU for being loyal listeners, sharing sweet reviews, and overall just being the best darn community of hype women we could ever ask for.
