The Good Life Consultant

Business EN ↓ 13 episodes

If your business is successful on paper but exhausting in practice, welcome. I’m Blake Stratton. I work with consultants who want to earn more, work less, and be fully present for the “good old days” that are happening right now. This show is part storytelling, part strategy, and part midlife-crisis prevention plan. Expect practical insights, zero fluff, and maybe a gentle shove toward doing less—but better.
