Welcome to Being Boss, a podcast for creative business owners and entrepreneurs who want

to take control of their work and live life on their own terms.

I'm your host Emily Thompson, and today I'm joined by my business bestie and once upon

a time co-host of this podcast, Kathleen Shannon, to have an end of year business bestie

conversation to review 2021, giving you a peek behind the scenes of the companies we run,

to model for you the kinds of questions you can ask in your own review of the year

two.

Now, because this chat went real deep as a good business bestie conversation often will,

we have split this episode into two shorter episodes.

This is part one, followed by part two coming in just a few short days.

And as always, you can find all the tools, books, and links we reference on the show notes

at www.beingboss.club.

If you like this episode, be sure to subscribe to this show and share us with a friend.

Sometimes seeing someone else's path to success helps us clearly map out our own.

It's why we all like business podcasts, right?

Well, I'm here to share a show for you to check out, the Female Startup Club podcast,

an amazing resource that shares insights and learnings from the world's most successful

female founders entrepreneurs and women in business.

In a recent episode, I loved hearing about how Michelle Grant, the founder of Lively,

the lingerie, and swimwear brand, built and sold her company for $105 million in just

three years.

Total boss move.
