About This Podcast
"Back Roads and Bold Moves" is the podcast for anyone building a business far from the city lights. Hosted by Elyssa Giedraitis - rural WA mum, social media strategist, and unapologetic straight-shooter. This show is about real business talk without the buzzwords.
From social media that actually works (even with crappy Wi-Fi) to the messy reality of running a business in a small town, Elyssa dives into the strategies, stories, and bold moves that matter. Expect unfiltered opinions, rural grit, and conversations that cut through the fluff.
If you’re tired of cookie-cutter advice and want to do business your way, whether you’re on the back roads or beyond, this podcast is for you.
