À propos de cet audio

 Let's be honest: building a company from nothing is freaking hard. It has been for me. I grew my company Accelity from 0 to 7 figures with no partners and no funding. I'm also a startup mentor, a speaker, and a dedicated mother of three. Welcome to The Art of Entrepreneurship podcast—I’m your host, Jackie Hermes. Listen in as I share all the mistakes I’ve made and, more importantly, what I’ve learned from them, with no fluff, and no rose-colored glasses. The Art of Entrepreneurship is a show where we cut through the BS and dig into what it actually takes to start and grow a business. I’ll be giving unfiltered advice 1 episode per week, up to 20 minute per episode. I want you to walk away from this podcast with the mindset and tools you need to be successful. This podcast is for entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and busy professionals with a short attention span (like me)—you’ll get quick-hitting, actionable information in every single episode. If you give me your time, I promise it won't be wasted. Now let's get to work!Copyright 2026 Jackie Hermes Gestion et leadership Marketing Marketing et ventes Réussite personnelle Économie

  • Building trust instead of chasing attention

    Building trust instead of chasing attention
    Mar 10 2026

    This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who feel pressure to monetize every bit of attention they earn online. The internet often treats attention like something you’re supposed to squeeze for every possible dollar. But just because you’re collecting impressions and likes doesn’t mean you’re actually building trust.

    In this episode, I talk about why protecting trust has mattered more to me than short-term revenue. I share what I’ve learned from watching how incentives shape content online and how quickly audiences disengage when everything becomes a play. Over time, I’ve realized that trust compounds quietly while algorithms, reach and platforms constantly shift. And once that line gets crossed too often, people usually don’t leave loudly. They just drift away quietly.

    The decisions you make early about monetization and visibility don’t just affect revenue. They affect who you’re allowed to become later as a leader and entrepreneur.

    Tune in if you’re ready to think differently about attention, restraint and the long-term power of trust.

  • Responsibility over ego: leading through uncertainty w/ Dilip Rao, Co-Founder and CEO of Sharebite

    Responsibility over ego: leading through uncertainty w/ Dilip Rao, Co-Founder and CEO of Sharebite
    Mar 3 2026
    This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who feel the weight of responsibility, not just for growth, but for the people whose livelihoods depend on their decisions. When things get hard, leadership isn’t about optics or ego—it’s about who you’re willing to become.My guest is Dilip Rao, founder and CEO of Sharebite, who shares what it really means to lead through crisis. We talk about the moment COVID brought Sharebite’s revenue to zero, why Dilip quietly took his salary to zero and moved into his in-laws’ basement, and how that season reshaped his view of leadership.Dilip explains his inverted leadership model, why leaders work for their teams, not the other way around, and how responsibility, not ideas, becomes the defining factor as a company grows. We also explore the parallel journey every founder is on: building a business while confronting fear, ego, endurance, and self-identity.Tune in if you’re ready to lead with responsibility, clarity, and purpose—even when the answers aren’t obvious.About Dilip RaoDilip Rao is the Founder and CEO of Sharebite, the leading enterprise meal-benefits platform built exclusively for companies.

  • On turning 40: why every year is earned

    On turning 40: why every year is earned
    Feb 24 2026

    This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who are quietly wondering if they’re behind, if they’ve done enough or if they still have something to prove. Turning 40 isn’t about getting older for me. It’s about recognizing that every year is earned and deciding what energy I want to carry forward.

    In this episode, I share what it actually feels like to hit a milestone birthday and why I believe my 40s will be the best decade of my life. I talk about why I choose to celebrate myself (instead of waiting for someone else to do it), and why aging is something to be proud of. I open up about trauma, resilience and how our brains help us move forward even after difficult seasons. I also explore what changed when I stopped chasing approval and started trusting myself instead.

    This is a reminder that I don’t have to prove myself to anyone, and neither do you. We get to choose who and what we bring into our lives. We get to choose our mindset. And we get to decide that every challenge we’ve faced has prepared us for what’s next.

    Tune in if you’re ready to stop proving yourself and start trusting yourself.
