  • “Hire a team, scale fast, never stop growing.”

    That’s the advice we’ve all heard. But what if that isn’t your dream? What if building a business that actually supports your life means not hiring a big team?

    This week, Maggie Patterson joins me to talk about her new book, Staying Solo, and why more business owners are choosing to stay lean, profitable, and in control—without sacrificing growth. We get real about the myths of solo business, the financial numbers people avoid, and the very real pressure to “look legit” online.

    If you’ve ever felt weird about staying small, this one’s for you.

    In this episode of the podcast, we talk about:

    Why staying solo is a valid long-term business model The real cost of growing too fast What most business owners aren’t tracking How Maggie marketed her book with a private podcast Why solo businesses are often more human

  • If you’ve ever woken up and thought, “what if I just didn’t post today?”—this one’s for you.
