Girls Make Bank Personal, Not Intimate: The Secret to Powerful Storytelling
In this special one-year anniversary episode, host Jac welcomes Jess Milanes, podcasting strategist, thought leadership expert, and the woman behind the magic at Girls Make Bank. Jess is the founder of Smart Podcast Solutions and the creator of KNWN, a new ecosystem for women thought leaders who are ready to amplify their message and legacy.
Together, Jac and Jess explore the emotional and strategic power of podcasting, what it means to build your platform as a woman in business, and how sharing your story (without oversharing) can create connection and impact.
Jess also shares her own journey from infertility struggles and launching a podcast in 2019, to building a thriving production agency and now launching a white-glove thought leadership platform for women.
Whether you're podcasting already or still building the courage to put yourself out there, this conversation is packed with real talk, actionable wisdom, and a whole lot of heart.
