Scale Your Joy is for the “smart with heart” high achiever looking to ditch the corporate grind and sidestep the “hustle hard” startup scene to design a life and business they love. Scale Your Joy is hosted by Kaneisha Grayson, a Harvard Business School and Harvard Kennedy School grad, author, essayist, avid traveler, and self-made entrepreneur. Each week, she shares her personal experiences and advice on crafting a life and building a business that not only showcases your formal education and credentials, but authentically represents you, creates positive social impact, and is highly profitable. If you want inspiring stories and practical strategies that will help you live more authentically, take more risks, be resilient in the face of adversity, make more money, and experience more joy, this show is for you. Be sure to join Kaneisha every quarter on a two-hour Ask Me Anything call— just for podcast listeners that leave a review. Find out more at ScaleYourJoy.com.
