How do you ensure that you’ll have paying customers when you open the virtual doors on day one? Which old-school marketing strategies should you be utilizing to gather your initial pool of students? How is a client roster different than an email list? We’re unpacking all of these questions and sharing our favorite advice for new online teachers in this episode...

There’s a particular kind of ambition that isn’t just about scaling a business, but about building a life that feels whole and authentic along the way. That’s the space where Soulful MBA Podcast lives. Hosted by Jennifer Barcelos and Sandy Connery, this is a conversation between two friends who are actually doing it-navigating the messy, rewarding reality of creating a company from nothing. They talk through the logistics of remote partnership, the challenges of conscious online engagement, and the personal growth that happens when your work is deeply tied to your values. It feels less like a lecture and more like you’re overhearing a candid, strategic coffee chat between two people who’ve been there. You’ll find practical advice woven into stories of trial and error, all aimed at ambitious women who are done with the hustle-for-hustle’s-sake model. This podcast serves as both a roadmap and a reassurance, proving that a successful business can be built with intention, friendship, and a lot of soul.
