Welcome to Messy in the Middle and my first episode with a guest! Joining us today is Megan Baker, the CEO and founder of Meg K and Co, the hiring agency for socially conscious online business owners who are ready to amplify their impact. Meg helped me hire my first employee back in 2020 and I am so, so lucky to call her a friend and fellow entrepreneur today.
Meg and I are actually recording two episodes today. For today's episode, we'll talk about Meg's experience in entrepreneurship and navigating her own messy middle. The next part of the interview which will be Episode 8, we will be diving into Meg's best hiring tips and tricks for hiring for your online business. So mark your calendar for March 8 when that one releases!
In this episode, we cover:
- Meg's background and how she ended up becoming an entrepreneur and a hiring strategist
- The key point when Meg felt like she wasn't a beginner in business anymore
- What Meg's challenges and messy middle have looked and felt like
- Why creating the appearance of a thriving business and not talking through our challenges creates an even bigger problem
- The importance of building and marketing an ethical business
- Why coaches, mentors, and business gurus messaging should be looked at through a critical lens
- A win that Meg had this year that wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for her messy middle
Thank you so much for joining me!
