The Profit and Presence Podcast

You don't need another business podcast telling you to wake up earlier, hustle harder, or sacrifice more. You need someone who gets it. The Profit and Presence Podcast is for CEO parents earning $150K-$500K+ who feel trapped by their own success—making great money but working too many hours while watching life happen from behind a laptop screen. I'm Lauren Apple: mom of five, founder of Profit & Presence Co., and the business strategist who closes her laptop at 4 PM every day. I've built multiple six-figure businesses while protecting Friday afternoons for pickleball with my daughter, and I believe your business should fund your life—not replace it. In this podcast, we cover: - Why "success" is keeping you stuck (and how to escape) - Operational design that creates profit AND margin - Why hiring help isn't your first step - Scaling strategies that don't require sacrificing your family - Real talk from a CEO parent who's been there This isn't about work-life balance. It's about building something that actually works for the life you want. Subscribe now if you're ready to stop choosing and start having both.
