– Consider using podcasting to build your authority, connect with your audience, and expand your network.  

– Understand your business’s financial health by tracking key metrics like operating expenses and revenue sources.  

Embracing Curiosity in Your Business  

Amy encourages those venturing into the world of entrepreneurship to embrace messy action. Stay curious about what works and what doesn’t work for your business, and be willing to adjust along the way.  

“Being an entrepreneur, we have to be willing to take risks, very calculated risks. But it does involve stepping outside of your comfort zone, acknowledging that fear, and going, you know what? I’ve got an empire to build, and I’m going to do it. Even though to everyone else it may not make sense, it makes sense to me, and let’s just go for it.” – Amy Traugh

Virginia Elder Founder | Podcast Editor & Manager

With a robust foundation of 15+ years in project management, client service, and strategic organization, I make things happen. I shine brightest in the behind-the-scenes support role, aiding entrepreneurs in becoming visible through content marketing. Podcasting is just one avenue; my expertise lies in helping you expand your reach, attract leads, and boost revenue, all while you focus on what you do best.

My journey into podcast editing began with a simple 'yes' to a friend's podcast project in 2019. This led to a whirlwind of copywriting and audio editing endeavors, eventually liberating me from my 9-5 job and empowering me to forge my own business path. Moreover, it enabled me to live my dream of walking my kids to and from school daily.

When you entrust your raw audio and video recordings, web copy dreams, weekly newsletter musings, and blog post aspirations to me, you're gifting yourself the freedom to concentrate on serving your clients, nurturing leads, and envisioning your business's next big leap. I handle the content creation, editing, and publishing process, allowing you to breathe easy and concentrate on your passion.
