From Corporate Layoffs to Podcast Leadership with Sonja Keeve

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Zach Young, we’re joined by Sonja Keeve, master podcast coach, speaker, and CEO of Systems with a Voice Podcast Network. Sonja shares her nonlinear journey from corporate layoffs and early entrepreneurial experiments into launching her first podcast in 2018—well before podcasting became mainstream—and how storytelling, resilience, and purpose became the foundation of her work.The conversation explores how Sonja turned podcasting into a powerful platform for visibility, impact, and sustainable business growth. She breaks down how entrepreneurs—especially women—can clarify their message, overcome technical fears, and leverage podcasting as a long-term brand asset. Sonja also reflects on organic audience growth, monetization pathways beyond sponsorships, and why consistency, authenticity, and voice-led leadership remain central to building platforms that outlive trends.Connect with Sonja Keeve: 🔗 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sonjakeeve 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sonjakeeve 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sonjakeeve 🌐 Website: https://www.sonjakeeve.com
