So, you’ve just stepped into a leadership role, you’re working toward a promotion, or you’ve been leading for years but know there’s always more to learn. But here’s the thing: no one actually taught you how to lead.
Now, you’re juggling decisions, managing personalities, and wondering, Am I even doing this right?
I’ve been there. I went from being a first-time manager at 24, learning everything the hard way, to running a leadership development company and helping leaders step into their roles with confidence. That’s exactly why I created You're the Boss, Now What?
This is the podcast for managers at every stage—whether you’re new to the role or ready to sharpen your skills—who want to:✅ Lead with confidence✅ Communicate with impact✅ Build teams that actually work together
But don’t expect another stuffy leadership podcast filled with corporate jargon and theories that don’t work in real life. Here, we get into the real stuff:💡 Tough conversations💡 Awkward moments💡 The unspoken struggles of leadership that no one warns you about
And it’s not just me talking. You’ll hear from expert guests, leaders, coaches, and real managers who share their biggest wins, worst mistakes, and the lessons they wish they’d learned sooner.
So, if you’re tired of winging it and want actionable strategies to actually enjoy being a leader, hit Follow and join me every week. Let’s ditch the stress, master the human side of leadership, and turn you into the kind of boss people want to work for.
Because you’re the boss now. Let’s make sure you lead like it.
