by Nikki McKnight
If you like weird stories, business experiments gone sideways, and the occasional spreadsheet breakdown, you’re in the right place. Join Nikki McKnight, consultant, strategist, and chaos-wrangler for creative business owners as she shares bite-sized FAFO (that’s f** around and find out*) stories from behind the scenes of real businesses. You’ll get a dose of curiosity, a side of operational efficiency, and zero BS. This isn’t your average biz podcast. It’s systems, but make it spicy.
