8. Betting on Yourself with Rachel Downey

Season #1

She’s most proud of not quitting. But she certainly considered it. 

 

Rachel Downey, Founder of Share Your Genius, has worn a lot of hats—and not just because she majored in Theater. From digital marketer to bartender, Rachel was used to juggling jobs and making ends meet. Yet, she didn’t trust herself. Was she smart enough? Were her dreams big enough? 

 

She tried climbing the corporate ladder, but offices weren’t for her. She came, she saw, she felt… trapped. “Corporate life felt like a cage.” Though she’d always been attracted to entrepreneurship, it took a forced hospital stay with her premature daughter to seriously rethink her work/life priorities.

 

It was time to stop telling herself what wasn’t possible. 

 

Learn how she stepped out on her own, built a B2B podcasting company, burned it all down (not really, but sort of…), and rebuilt her business in a more authentic, flexible, and sustainable way. All it took was a hard-won mindset shift, a global pandemic, and a little sticky note that arrived at just the right moment.
