Some of our favorite takeaways from this episode include:
Entrepreneurs should focus on personal alignment rather than chasing trends or societal expectations.
Fiction provides a lens for exploring business struggles, problem-solving, and understanding human dynamics.
Many entrepreneurs are reconsidering full-time self-employment in favor of hybrid work models (i.e. side hustles alongside jobs).
There will be an economic and emotional hangover from the 2024 election that will likely extend into early 2025.
Success in business is deeply tied to self-awareness, connection, and embracing joy.

Guest Bio: Mary Williams
Mary Williams is the CEO and founder of Sensible Woo, home of The School of Moxie Podcast. A librarian by trade, who established herself in the entertainment industry as the digital archivist for a major animation production studio, she has consulted for not only entertainment companies, but also marketing agencies, tech start-ups, and non-profit fundraising organizations.
For the last eight years, she’s been a business coach for highly-sensitive, neurodivergent business owners, championing the focus on systems and data management as a solid foundation for sustainable businesses that scale. The motto at Sensible Woo is that you are always your best system, which means embracing the magic of your intuitive side is just as important as the data your business produces.
Mary has been an online content creator since 2010, which makes her a tough old bird in the online entrepreneurship community and you should definitely ask her about all the crazy shit she’s seen people do online over the years. You can travel with Mary as she records guests in studios through her weekly emails, RUclips, Instagram, and Threads.
