Summary

The lessons my new CEO & I have learned as we’ve both transitioned into new roles I have exciting news to share -- and it’s that I have a brand new CEO! Her name is Jenn, but we call her Jawesy, and she’s my former content director.  If you’ve been listening for a while, you probably know that I have been serving as the acting CEO, taking on the day-to-day operations of running the business.  I’ll be honest -- it’s been a lot for me to work in this capacity and be the visionary of the company at the same time, so I’m excited to pass the reins over to Jawesy.  Not to mention, she’s incredibly smart, experienced, and knows my business inside and out, so it’s a win-win!  In this episode, Jawesy and I have a candid conversation about the lessons we’ve learned as we work through the transition of me stepping fully into Visionary, and her stepping into the role of CEO. You’ll hear:  Why we intentionally took an entire year to transition into our new roles The fears we both had about stepping into our new positions The challenges we’ve had and what we’ve learned from them How we prepped the larger team for the changes I hope you walk away with some new insight – whether you see yourself bringing on a CEO long term, or you’re hiring your first employee.
