When Donna Owen launched The Engine, she was fully booked, juggling client delivery, and fighting to stay visible - the exact place most consultants and fractional leaders get stuck.
In this episode, Donna breaks down how launching her podcast became the catalyst for a complete transformation of her GTM consulting business.
She shares how interviewing founders reshaped her 2026 service roadmap, kept her connected to her ICP while delivering full-time, and unlocked the clarity and visibility she needed to scale The Engine beyond fractional work.
We also dig into:
- The real reason founders stay trapped in founder-led sales
- Why “lack of pipeline” is a marketing problem, not a sales problem
- How fixing brand, positioning, and top-of-funnel changes everything
- What Donna learned from 25+ founder conversations - and why it beat any book or course
- How a podcast can keep a consultant visible, relevant, and in demand while fully booked
- Why the best time to start (counterintuitively) is when you’re busiest
If you're a B2B consultant, coach, or fractional CXO looking to build authority, stay top-of-mind, and escape the feast-and-famine cycle, Donna’s story is a blueprint.
