When Shawna Rodrigues discovered that women hosted only 27% of podcasts, she knew something had to change. After leaving her award-winning public sector career in 2019 and launching The Grit Show, she founded the Authentic Connections Podcast Network with one bold mission: 37 by 27—raising that percentage to 37% by 2027. Because really, shouldn't it be closer to 50%?

Now she helps purpose-driven solopreneurs find their ideal clients through podcasting, starting with her proven first step: guesting on podcasts - check out her tip sheet.
