In this solo episode, Dr. Charlotte Huntley takes listeners behind the scenes of her consulting business during one of the most difficult years in recent public health history. Against a backdrop of political hostility, dismantling of key public health agencies, and stalled funding streams, she shares how her previously steady, growing firm suddenly hit a wall in 2025 and the one firm decision that became the turning point.

Dr. Huntley walks through how she moved from shock and paralysis into intentional action, re-centered on her core strengths, and leveraged relationships, service, and strategic planning to stabilize and then rebuild momentum in her epidemiology and public health consulting practice. She also explains how this experience led to the creation of a new series of programs for public health entrepreneurs focused on strategic planning, marketing and lead generation, offers and sales, systems and productivity, and mindset.
