No, we're not just sharing a bunch of unpopular opinions in this She Built This episode... 

We don't kick it off by saying, "I don't know who needs to hear this..." but we DO dive into the world of online business and unpack some of the myths, tricks, blanket advice, and generic business building tips you see flying around on the internet. 

I'm joined by special guest, Jessica Lackey, to debunk myths about online business and more. 

What's inside the episode: 

  • Inbound vs. outbound
  • Marketing vs. relationship-building (how even THAT sounds sleazy!)
  • Scaling
  • The elusive, yet magical seven-figure mark of success
  • Is it a niche or is it a pattern?
  • Reels - are we doing this? Yay or nay?
  • Cultivating a playlist vs. pushing noise into the feed 
  • Finding communities that are a good fit 
  • And so much more!
