In this episode of Transforming the Game, Kristina Katsanevas sits down with Caroline Jean-Baptiste finance strategist, mentor, entrepreneur, and author of The Leverage Effect to unpack what it really means to build wealth as a self-employed woman.

In this conversation, they break down:

How to tell the difference between good debt and bad debt
What leverage really means—and why it’s a game-changer for business owners
How to read your numbers and forecast cash flow (without being a finance nerd)
When to buy property vs. when to scale your business
Why 86% of small businesses never sell—and how to change that outcome

Caroline’s message is simple but powerful: feel the fear and do it anyway—just make sure you’re investing in something that brings a strong return.

Whether you’re a founder, freelancer, or just ready to get financially confident, this episode will show you how to turn what you already have into your next level of wealth.
