Allison Harrison started her law firm at 27 with just $3,000 and a laptop. Now she's doubling revenue year-over-year by building a business that reflects exactly who she is: no hiding, no corporate cosplay, just radical authenticity.
In this episode, learn how embracing her identity as a queer business owner became her competitive advantage, why TikTok transformed her team culture (not just her marketing), and the two simple rules that actually grow businesses: be loud and show up.
If you're tired of pretending to be someone else to succeed, this one's for you.
