My Solopreneur Life

In this second part of my conversation with Andrew Hartman, founder of Time Boss, we move from origin story into the practical reality of how his system actually works.

In this episode, I get real about what I’m actually seeing with AI as a solopreneur, not the hype, not the fear, but what’s happening in the day-to-day trenches of running a business. I share a moment that genuinely stopped me in my tracks when I saw how realistic AI-generated avatars have become, and why that matters more than most people realize. Because ...

I’ve noticed something about myself over the years as a solopreneur, and I see it in others all the time, too. We come up with a great idea, get excited about it, and then we start talking about it before it’s fully formed. In this episode, I break down the unconscious habit of sharing ideas too early and how it quietly drains their energy, creates doubt, a...

In this episode of My Solopreneur Life, I share one of the most common mistakes I see solopreneurs make when they finally get in front of a potential client. After all the effort it takes to generate a lead and secure a meeting, many of us fall into the same trap.

When you leave corporate or step out on your own, something subtle but heavy shows up fast: you lose the identity that once defined you. You’re no longer “the director at X company” or “the marketing lead at Y.” You’re just… you. And for many solopreneurs, that blank space creates fear, second-guessing, and what people casuall...

In this episode of My Solopreneur Life, I explore a pattern many solopreneurs fall into without realizing it: overdelivering as a form of self-protection.
