We had the good fortune of connecting with Lauren Wrighton and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Lauren, other than deciding to work for yourself, what was the single most important decision you made that contributed to your success?
Humbling myself and committing to being a forever learner. As soon as you know anything, it’s easy to start thinking you know everything but with that mindset I struggled early on and made few connections with others. As soon as I committed to being a forever learning and became more comfortable with not knowing everything, I was able to make connections with others and see success.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
I help freelancers (like Virtual Assistants) become podcast managers! I became a virtual assistant in 2018 and by the end of that year, I was serving only podcasters as a podcast manager. Since early 2019 I have been helping virtual assistants niche down their business into podcast management. My business serves a very specific person and need and because of that, it has created an incredible community of women (and some men!) who are working for themselves, bringing podcasts to life, and loving what they do. Our community is prides ourselves on delivering a great product to our client while allowing us to work part-time hours, make full-time pay, and be able to show up in our personal lives how we chose.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
The last 10 years would look SO different if it weren’t for my dear friend (and business bestie), Katie. We met in college but truly connected over starting our own businesses and living life on our own terms. Having her in my corner has made the biggest of differences. Ultimately, God has opened all the doors in my life and business and I’m so grateful he brought my friend Katie in too.
