Podcast
What if you had a business coach who was a creative just like you, and could ask them about how they built a successful business they love?
That's what we do each week on Design Business Freedom. Hosted by Melissa Galt -- award winning business coach, marketing consultant, and interior designer with over 3 decades of creative experience -- every episode is an in-depth look at how to create systems and processes, increase your confidence, and build a quality team to support you.
The goal is to give you the information and resources you need to avoid being overworked and undervalued, and help you earn more in less time with less stress.
