    The level of excellence this podcast is… 😍
    There are so many business shows to choose from but this one is QUALITY through and through. You can tell Natalie’s intentionality and the guests share so willingly. Natalie herself is a gem and asks questions that I love hearing the answers too versus just the typical ones asked. I’m a listener for life ✨

    Every detail of this show - from the studio level video/audio quality, to guest variety, to well researched questions - is so impressive. Natalie is a talented host who asks unique questions, digs deep, and comes prepared with insightful stats and facts that make my little dad a loving heart so happy. This show is def worth adding to your weekly rotation!

    Great Podcast!
    I listened today to the episode about self-doubt. I loved it and now am about to binge other episodes I’ve not yet heard. I appreciate the deep conversation and support as a small business owner. And yes, our company uses HoneyBook and we love it. We get to offer white glove service without missing details thanks to the workflows and automations. Our clients love the portal and automations as well. I can’t wait to be a regular listener.

  • chrisdelisle
    Love this for small biz owners! 😍
    I am so excited about this! Natalie drops truth bombs in her books, her in-person events, her Instagram, and her blog, and now as a podcast! She has such a gift for inspiring, for nudging you out of your comfort zone, for backing it all up with the cold hard facts that my neurodivergent brain loves. If you’re an independent business owner (I love that term!) this podcast needs to be in your queue! I’ll for sure be firing up new episodes when I’m making products and doing school pickups!

    Independent Business mixes honest life experiences with easy to comprehend business advice. The result is a podcast that feels more like friends having open conversations about struggles and successes than a formal interview. Everything Natalie does is thoughtful, intelligent, engaging and incredibly warm. This podcast is no exception.

    5 STARS FOR THESE NUGGETS OF WISDOM
    Loved this conversation. I greatly appreciated Ellen Yin’s take on guilt and how to regard failures/mistakes as data. Took guilt right out of the equation and instead gives plenty of room for curiosity and growth. 💯💯💯
