This week, we're sitting down with Sarah Smith, founder and CEO of SpeakerBox Media. From launching a business with $500 in 2018 to scaling a podcast studio from 100 to 4,000 square feet (even through the pandemic), Sarah shares the exact framework she used to turn her zone of genius into a profitable, scalable business.
Also, you'll learn more about how we're talking about having your authority before external recognition arrives. Sarah defines authority personally as knowing your zone of genius and professionally as aligning what you do best with what the market values enough to pay for.
