This week is a little different 👀 I'm taking a short summer break before we officially kick off the Bare Minimum Summer Series next week, and I wanted to leave you with a simple reminder: Your business doesn't have to consume your summer to keep moving forward.

What happens when the momentum you've been working so hard for finally arrives? June was supposed to be my slow month. I intentionally built extra space into my calendar. School was ending, summer was beginning, and I have a two-week vacation on the horizon. I thought I'd finally have a chance to catch my breath. Instead, June became one of the busiest and most rewarding months of the year. In thi...

Three years into building Olympia Boss Society, Megan has noticed something fascinating: The women who grow the most through community usually aren’t the loudest, the most polished, or the women with the biggest audience online. They’re the women who learn how to: ✨ get in the room ✨ be seen in the room ✨ and stay in the room long enough for the room to change them In this solo episode, Megan r...

Three years ago, Olympia Boss Society was just an idea built from a feeling… a feeling that women in business were craving deeper connection, more honest conversations, and community that felt real instead of performative. In this special anniversary solo episode, Megan reflects on what it has truly looked like to build OBS over the last three years. From feeling like an outsider for much of her l...

Episode Description April didn’t look like a highlight reel… but it might have been one of the most important months yet.

We get into the evolution of networking, the difference between performative vs genuine connect...

What happens when your business still works… but doesn’t feel like you anymore?

If you’ve been feeling like you have to be louder, post more, and constantly perform just to stay relevant… this episode is for you. We are in what I call a  trust recession. People are overwhelmed.

In this solo episode of the 20...
