Les Alfred, best known as the host of the Balanced Black Girl podcast, joins Rachel today for a brand new coaching session!

Les has been in the entrepreneurial game for one year now – and she’s ready to scale. She’s got her eyes and mind set on a 7-figure revenue goal, and Rachel’s just the woman to help her make it happen.

But there’s one problem: there’s only one Les! She can’t be everywhere. And as her brand grows, we need to keep things as streamlined as possible in order to avoid burnout.
