West + Main Homes Co-Founders Pull Back the Curtain on Entrepreneurship with New Podcast
Stacie Staub and Madie Linder, co-founders of West + Main Homes, the largest independent, woman-owned brokerage in Denver, announce the launch of their latest venture, Your Best Friends in Business, a podcast produced in partnership with Pod People. The series premieres July 15, with new episodes releasing weekly.
Part strategy, part survival guide, and entirely the kind of conversation most business owners desperately need, “Your Best Friends in Business” blends candidinterviews, hot takes on what it actually takes to grow a business, and the kind of practical takeaways that only come from founders currently making these calls themselves. Alongside West + Main Homes, Stacie and Madie are also co-founders of Blue Nest Coffee, Blue Nest Bar and Bistro, Spring House Pilates, and West Way Lending. Through the show, they aim to share what they’ve learned building multiple companies and to bring in guests who can speak to those challenges and add their perspective.
Season one features founders who’ve built businesses across a range of industries, from pet care to hospitality to publishing, including the following:
- Meg Meyer, co-founder and CEO of The Bear & The Rat, the functional pet treat company that appeared on Shark Tank.
- Chef Jen Jasinski, James Beard Award-winning chef and co-founder of the Denver restaurant group behind Rioja, Bistro Vendome, and Euclid Hall.
- Mercy Tucker, co-founder and Executive Director of Project I See You, a nonprofit that has invested nearly $1 million to support more than 3,000 women through its Shared Power Initiative.
- Sarah Ortega, founder and CEO of Sarah O. Jewelry, a custom fine jewelry company marking a decade in business in 2025.
- Mike Michalowicz, author of nine bestselling books and host of the podcast “Becoming Self Made.”
- Rachael King, founder and CEO of Pod People, whose studio produces podcasts and social creative for Netflix, HBO, Marvel, and CNN.
- Molly McKinley, founder of Redtail Creative and Intentionaliteas and author of The Intentional Business: A Path to Purpose & Prosperity.
- Marguerite Martin, creator of MoveToTacoma.com, a 20-year Tacoma real estate agent who reinvented her role as a “real estate matchmaker.”
- Eric Sachs, co-founder and president of Breakthrough Broker, the largest free marketing and business-building resource in real estate, used by 600,000+ agents and 100+ brokerages.
