Power With G: Recent Episodes
Gretchelle Soto
Power With G is a podcast about helping women level up in business and in life. We will dive deep into different business experiences (the good and the bad), shed light on important causes, share current business trends, and more. In the first season, we will talk about the basics of money, and the host, Gretchelle Soto, founder of a multi-million dollar company, will take you on her journey of how she saved her first $1,000 and then got out of debt within one year.
Ever faced a challenge that made you question your entire journey? Today, I recount my struggles and triumphs as I navigate the unpredictable world of starting a business. From technical mishaps with my microphone to battling moments of self-doubt, I’ve learned that pushing through these obstacles can be incredibly rewarding. This new season marks a shift from my previous focus on financial literacy to a broader range of business topics, inspired by personal milestones like marriage and pregnancy that temporarily paused my journey. Now, I return with renewed vigor, ready to inspire you to take the first step toward your dreams, no matter the hurdles.
I'm thrilled to share my experiences as an everyday girl, without expert credentials, making her way in the business world. This episode isn't just about my journey; it's about creating content that resonates with you and might even serve as a cherished memory for my family. With episodes available on YouTube and other podcast platforms, I encourage you to subscribe, share, and engage with this community. Your feedback fuels my passion, and I'm excited to reconnect and continue this adventure together. Get ready to be motivated, because if I can overcome these challenges, so can you!
