Second Act Success: Business Tips & Career Change Advice for Women

Shannon Russell

Booking Overview

This is a career-transition and entrepreneurship interview show focused on helping women turn corporate experience into businesses and fulfilling second careers, with occasional solo expert episodes and external guests who are established coaches, executives, speakers, and subject-matter experts. Credible pitches include women entrepreneurs, career-transition experts, leadership coaches, personal-brand strategists, and professionals with compelling midlife reinvention stories; booking difficulty is low because the show features accessible experts rather than highly prominent public figures.
