Hello dear bosses. Emily here and it is with great anticipation and a heavy dose of

bittersweetness that I bring you this very special episode of the Being

Boss Podcast.

For over five years, Kathleen and I have shown up in your podcast feed to let you listen in on conversations

we've had about what it takes to show up as you are, live and work as a creative,

and how to monetize that creativity as a business owner.

It all started at the very end of 2014, when I had a stroke of inspiration that had me pitching

my business besty to join me and starting a podcast.

For four years, Kathleen and I published a podcast every single week.

In 2019, we started sharing episodes only once a month and we told you why at the end of 2019 in an

episode titled Burnout and Buyout where Kathleen and I shared with you how intense burnout

led not only to us publishing episodes less frequently, but it led to a shift in ownership that took us from being 50-50 partners to 8515, with me as the majority owner. If you haven't listened to that

episode, I recommend that you go back and give it a listen. It's episode

number 219. It will give you some important contacts to this conversation.

Because we're basically here to give an update to that episode.

As of a few weeks ago, Kathleen and I have implemented another shift, when that leaves me as a 100% owner of being boss.

And in true being boss fashion, we're here to show you how we did it,

how we navigated another difficult conversation and what will come of being

boss in the only way we know how openly and with full vulnerability.

To help us have this conversation, I called in a friend of mine, Michelle Corey.

Michelle is the CEO and founder of Frequency Media, a podcast production company based in Atlanta, Georgia.

I called her in to actually interview
