Anne McGinty — Finding My Voice: Lessons from Season 2 (So Far)

How I Built My Small Business

What began as a tribute to my dad has unexpectedly become part of my healing journey, transforming from purely business and entrepreneurship to learning through storytelling.

How I Built My Small Business recently won a 2025 Communicator Award of Excellence as an educational series, validating the creative endeavor of hosting, editing, and producing this show.
• Season One focused on business creation and growth while Season Two explores guests' expertise and perspectives beyond business
• Learning through storytelling was deeply valued by my dad, who believed one must never stop learning
• Overcoming autoimmune conditions through diet, lifestyle changes, proper exercise, quality sleep, nervous system rebalancing, and the surprising way podcasting filled a missing puzzle piece
• Podcasting itself has been healing by providing space to express my authentic voice after years of people-pleasing
• Moving away from rigid question preparation to allow for more authentic, flowing conversations
• Finding the balance between "doing" and "being" - a lesson learned from New Zealand culture
As we head into the second half of this season, I'll keep following the joy and leaning into alignment. I wish you less pressure, less stress, and less rushing.
