The business strategy podcast for impact-focused founders

No bro-marketing tips. No hustle-culture growth hacks. And no celebrating algorithms that reward the loudest voice over the truest one. Small Stage, Big Impact is back, with new conversations on building a business that’s values-driven, sustainably profitable, and built to last. Renia Carsillo talks strategy, systems, and the courage it takes to grow without losing what you stand for.
