Emotional Business
Emotional Business is a podcast for founders, creators, and change-makers who believe there’s more to business than spreadsheets and strategy. Hosted by Olga Skipper, this show explores the often-overlooked emotional undercurrent of entrepreneurship—highlighting how gut instinct, heart-centered decisions, and so-called ”illogical” paths can lead to powerful and profitable ventures. Through candid conversations with a wide range of guests—from top executives and tech leaders to unconventional entrepreneurs—Olga dives deep into what it really takes to build a business that not only makes money but feels meaningful. Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of how to: - Embrace emotions as a strength, not a liability, in business. - Make bold decisions based on inner truth, not external pressure. - Create a business model that truly fits who they are—and make good money doing it. This podcast is for anyone tired of cookie-cutter formulas and ready to explore success on their own terms.
