Meet the host

Hi, I’m Jacki.

I host Here’s What I Learned because I’m deeply curious about how people actually run their businesses. Not the highlight reel. Not the tidy frameworks. The real decisions, experiments, missteps, and systems that make things work day to day.

On the show, sometimes I’m in conversation with values-driven founders. Sometimes it’s just me, thinking out loud about what I’m testing, what I’m noticing, and what I’m learning as I go. Every episode is meant to leave you with something useful. A clearer question. A new way to look at a problem. A small shift you can actually try.

If you’ve ever thought “there has to be a better way to do this” and wanted permission to find your own answer, you’re in the right place.
