The Wisepreneurs Podcast
For independent professionals building practice on their own terms.
Working lives have extended far beyond what anyone predicted.
Organisations need people who can navigate complexity and ambiguity—and increasingly, these professionals want to work independently.
Hosted by Nigel Rawlins, Wisepreneurs features conversations with experienced professionals about what it actually takes to build sustainable independent practice.
What we explore:
● Turning accumulated expertise into visible market presence
● Building business through partnerships and collaborative networks
● AI tools that amplify rather than replace experienced judgment
● Navigating the transition from employment to independence
● Sustaining cognitive capacity for the long term
80+ episodes of real conversations
Your accumulated expertise is your competitive advantage.
This podcast shows you how to systematically leverage it.
80+ episodes. Real conversations. No motivational fluff.
