The Master Your Business Podcast
A solo-hosted workshop for founders of expert businesses, teaching them to systematize operations so the company can scale beyond their personal involvement.
This is a solo-hosted, workshop-style podcast where business coach Deirdre Martin offers concrete frameworks for founders of service-based businesses, with a recent hyper-focus on cybersecurity consultancies. Each episode is a tightly scripted lesson designed to solve a specific problem related to scaling, such as founder dependency, sales messaging, or pipeline generation. The show acts as a vehicle to introduce her core concepts, like 'The Switchboard' for diagnosing bottlenecks and the 'Seven Beliefs' for closing sales.
“Unlike general business podcasts, this show is distinguished by its sharp focus on a specific audience (cybersecurity founders) and a recurring problem (founder dependency). Martin's use of memorable, proprietary frameworks ('The Switchboard') and direct, no-nonsense language gives the short episodes the feel of a paid workshop rather than a casual chat.”
