Welcome back to Systems With Laura 🎙️

In this episode, we explore what it really takes to build a business that supports both your visibility and client pipeline, without burning out, going viral, or chasing every new platform.

This week, I’m joined by Anja Lordanić Mustać, a podcasting mentor, translator, and founder of Studio 22. Anja helps solopreneurs and small business owners launch strategic podcasts that position them as experts and bring in high-quality clients, without needing a massive audience.

Anja shares her journey from the world of translation and project management into podcasting and mentorship, and why podcasting isn’t just a creative outlet; it can be a smart, sustainable business system.

This conversation is both practical and encouraging, especially if you’ve been sitting on an idea but letting self-doubt or perfectionism get in the way.

In this episode, we talk about:

- Anja’s shift from translator to podcast mentor and entrepreneur

- Why podcasting still works, and how to stand out without shouting

- The systems behind running a podcast as a solopreneur

- Common fears freelancers face when launching (and how to move past them)

- How podcasting fits into a broader visibility and client strategy

- What Anja would do differently if she were starting over today

🎧 If you’ve been thinking about starting a podcast or just want to build visibility that actually leads to clients, this episode is for you.

📒 Grab a notebook, hit play, and let Anja show you how podcasting can become a powerful system in your business, not just a content chore.
