672 Susan Bratton: Epiphanies from Long Covid

Plus, The Future of Podcasting and Digital Media

Is your business running you or are you running your business?

All too often entrepreneurs get so stuck on the task treadmill living the belief that our work is never done.

Sometimes only a massive pattern interrupt like getting sick tells us whether we’ve created a business of true value because it can survive without our daily intervention.

Susan Bratton is a phenomenal and innovative lifelong entrepreneur who has built two successful companies: Personal Life Media, a publisher of heart-connected lovemaking techniques and bedroom communication skills and The20, a manufacturer of organic and botanical supplements that enhance sexual vitality. A pioneer in digital media and advertising, co-founding the Internet Advertising Bureau, Susan has also been honored as “Silicon Valley Woman of Influence” by The Business Journal and a “Top 10 Internet Pioneer” by Ad Age Magazine.

Susan’s irrepressible energy came to a screeching halt in the early days of the Covid-19 Pandemic, and for all this time she’s been suffering from the debilitating effects of “Long Covid”. She couldn’t run her businesses, and now the freeing epiphany that her team could run without her.

That is the essence of scalability and value, and now Susan is doubling down on her unique talents and desires to focus on what’s she’ll be doing next to add value to her companies.

Today we’re going to talk about the rapidly changing media landscape, what’s next in podcasting (Susan was one of the first podcasters back in 2006), and what she’s learned along the way on her recovery. We also talk about intimacy and passion, and why it’s vital women prioritize their sexual health and sensual experiences. Be sure to join the conversation with Susan over on the interactive podcast app Podopolo, where you can share your perspectives and she’ll take your questions.

  • Why it’s vital to build a business that can run without you
  • What epiphanies come from being liberated from the daily “doing”
  • Why women must prioritize their sexual and sensual experiences
  • How podcasting is evolving and the future of media
  • And much more!
