Frequently Asked Questions
Who do you feature on the podcast?
We feature women who have built something real. Our guests are founders, operators, executives, and nonprofit leaders who have grown businesses, led teams, and weathered hard decisions. Many have:
Started companies out of necessity or personal conviction
Navigated major pivots, turnarounds, or failures
Stepped into leadership in spaces where women are underrepresented
Built meaningful impact through complex, real-world businesses
We are especially interested in women whose stories reflect resilience, ownership, and the less-glamorous side of leadership. We also welcome voices from programs and nonprofits that serve business owners and communities.
Our audience includes women business owners, professional service firms, executive leaders, and funders who are building, scaling, or reinvesting in their businesses.
How can someone become a guest?
We accept guest suggestions through the contact form on our website.
Cristy and Aggie personally review every submission. If it’s a fit, we’ll follow up with a short intake form and a booking link to schedule your recording.
We do not conduct pre-interviews. The form gives us the key details we need before we hit record.
What should guests expect during the recording?
Our interviews are unscripted and conversational. We begin every episode with a simple prompt:
“Tell everyone about your story.”
From there, we follow your lead. There are no scripted questions. Just a thoughtful, grounded conversation with two women who understand business from the inside.

Do you charge guests to be on the podcast?
No. Guests are not charged to appear.
We do ask that every guest shares their episode when it airs. Your story is powerful, and your audience wants to hear it.
What is the purpose of the podcast?
The podcast is hosted by Cristy and Aggie, two full-time business partners and strategic advisors. They work with women-owned businesses, partnerships, and historically underserved founders including LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, BIPOC, and women entrepreneurs.
This podcast exists to elevate those voices. It is a space for real conversations about the work, grit, and growth behind every big leap.
You’ll hear from exceptional women. You’ll also hear from Cristy and Aggie, as they guide, reflect, and connect across every episode.
