On this episode of More Than A Title, Im sitting down with Nicole V. Cramer a four-time founder, former global executive, and someone whos really mastered the art of building people, teams, and businesses at every level.
Nicoles journey is different. Shes been in the rooms at the highest levels, helped lead through major transitions, built teams through acquisitions, and turned complex situations into real, lasting success. But what stands out most is how shes taken all of that experience and flipped it into purpose now helping founders, executives, and business owners build something that actually aligns with their life.
We talk about her latest venture, The Living Constellation, and her belief that the future of work isnt just about grinding its about living. We also get into why she stands strong on human intelligence over artificial intelligence, and what it really means to build something meaningful in todays world.
Nicoles story isnt one lane from corporate leadership to entrepreneurship, from building brands to launching passion-driven businesses shes proof that you dont have to choose just one version of yourself.
If youre in a season where youre growing, pivoting, or trying to figure out whats next, this is one of those conversations you need to hear.

On this episode of More Than A Title, I sit down with Sarah Dale, founder of Project 1490a community built for ambitious women ready to step into something more.
Sarahs journey is anything but traditional. She took a leap from New York City to Montana, where she discovered a whole new side of herselflearning to hunt, build, and navigate the outdoors in ways that built a level of confidence and self-reliance she never knew she had.
But like many journeys, life took a turn. After returning to New York in survival mode, Sarah went on to build an impressive career, rising through the ranks at The Wall Street Journal and becoming the first female C-level executive at an ad tech company. Still, the idea she first discovered in Montana never left her.
Years later, she finally answered that calllaunching Project 1490, a space designed to help women reconnect with themselves, take bold leaps, and pursue whats been pulling at them all along.
This conversation is about reinvention, resilience, and having the courage to bet on yourselfeven when it doesnt make sense on paper.

Michelle also gets into the financial sidebecause building a successful business isnt just about passion, its about structure, discipline, and knowing your numbers. From QuickBooks to full-scale CFO support, she breaks down what it actually takes to build something that lasts.

Faye spent over 25 years leading at companies like Kraft General Foods, Campbells Soup, The Home Depot, Target, and CVS Pharmacy but at some point, she made a decision a lot of people are scared to makeshe bet on herself.
We get into that transition, what it looked like stepping into the cannabis space, building Pure Genesis, and how shes been able to stay grounded in community while scaling something meaningful. This isnt just about businessits about knowing when its time to pivot, trusting your experience, and moving with intention.
Fayes story is different. First Black woman out of the Industrial Engineering program at West Virginia University, board seats, industry leadershipbut the way she carries it is what stood out to me the most.
