Shownotes

"Hustle & Humor" is a special Summer 2024 series under the Unpolished MBA ® podcast, hosted by seasoned Atlanta-based entrepreneurs Monique Mills and Caitlin Ferguson. We dive into the realities of running a business with candid conversations, insightful advice, and a healthy dose of humor.

  • Running from August 6th to September 19th
  • Episodes released every Tuesday and Thursday

In this episode, the hosts discuss a variety of topics centered around entrepreneurship and the challenges faced by founders.

They open with a light-hearted chat about a sarcastic AI bot designed to assist marketing efforts, before delving into the importance of empathy and constructive feedback in business environments.

They critically examine the 'broetry' style of motivational posts and its impact on struggling CEOs.

The hosts also emphasize the need for proper financial management in growing businesses, the pitfalls of abusive business coaching, and the significance of peer groups and supportive advisors.

Practical advice for first-time founders navigating difficult freelance contracts and dealing with unreasonable clients is shared, highlighting the necessity of maintaining a positive and empowering approach in leadership.
