About This Podcast

Emotional Business is a podcast for founders, creators, and change-makers who believe there’s more to business than spreadsheets and strategy. Hosted by Olga Skipper, this show explores the often-overlooked emotional undercurrent of entrepreneurship—highlighting how gut instinct, heart-centered decisions, and so-called ”illogical” paths can lead to powerful and profitable ventures.

Through candid conversations with a wide range of guests—from top executives and tech leaders to unconventional entrepreneurs—Olga dives deep into what it really takes to build a business that not only makes money but feels meaningful.
Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of how to:
- Embrace emotions as a strength, not a liability, in business.
- Make bold decisions based on inner truth, not external pressure.
- Create a business model that truly fits who they are—and make good money doing it.

This podcast is for anyone tired of cookie-cutter formulas and ready to explore success on their own terms.
