Podcast: Nurses With Voices Hosted by Dr. Lendra
People love to say that starting a business is risky. But you know what's even riskier? Staying stuck. Trading your health for a paycheck. Spending years inside systems that don't value you.
In this episode of Nurses With Voices, Dr. Lendra breaks down the myths of risk in business and flips the script to show nurse leaders, entrepreneurs, and aspiring founders how to launch smarter, not scarier.
From mass layoffs in healthcare to the hidden costs of "staying safe" in a W-2 job, Dr. Lendra reveals why ownership is actually the more secure path and how you can de-risk your journey with clarity, AI-powered strategies, and the Burnout to Breakthrough Blueprint.
