The Why Not Today? Podcast - Season 4 Episode 14, Powerful Players, Courageous Conversations, and Growing Together with Freddi Donner

In this episode of the Why Not Today? podcast, Leslie Kane welcomes back executive and leadership coach Freddi Donner for a deep and honest conversation about entrepreneurship, courage, and the power of surrounding yourself with others on a similar journey.

Freddi opens up about the real experiences of owning a business, including the challenges of failure, the need for focus, and the importance of staying connected with others who understand the ups and downs of entrepreneurship. Whether you’re just starting or feeling stuck, this episode will remind you that you’re not meant to do business alone.

Leslie and Freddi talk about how building a trusted circle of peers can bring energy, perspective, and clarity, especially when you’re facing decision fatigue or self doubt. Working with others in community provides accountability, inspiration, and the space to test ideas before going all in. Because the truth is, owning your own business can be lonely but it doesn’t have to be.
