Walking Away From the C-Suite to Build HER Collective, Be an Author, Speaker, and More | Erica Rooney

Let’s be real: if a business looks perfect on Instagram, someone is probably lying to you. I’m Kayleigh Bain, and I’m obsessed with the stories people don't put in their press releases. All Up in Your Business is where I sit down with local founders, non-profit leaders, and total badasses to talk about the messy, complicated, and usually hilarious reality of building something from scratch. No filters, no fluff—just the real stuff that connects us.In This Episode: Erica RooneyFor the very first episode, I’m joined by my friend and total powerhouse, Erica Rooney.
