About The Aspiring Solopreneur
You didn't become a solopreneur to build a business that runs your life. You did it so your business could serve it. The Life-First Solopreneur is the twice-weekly podcast at the heart of the Life-First Movement. It's for solopreneurs who believe the business should be designed around life, not the other way around. Hosts Joe Rando and Carly Ries, co-authors of Solopreneur Business for Dummies, sit down each week with solopreneurs who are building Life-First Businesses and experts who are helping others do the same. Every episode explores what it really takes to design, run, and evolve a one-person business with your life at the center. Basically, what we're trying to say is: Life First. Then Business.

When you think of yourself as the authority, it dictates strategy. It really has you look inward and think, oh, what can I actually share? Where is my value? And then go from there. It's a huge weight off your shoulders. Well, and Carly, just to be honest, attention is important, right?
