You cannot be successful and delusional at the same time. That is the foundation of everything we do at Nurses as Entrepreneurs — the no-fluff, no-hype business education platform built specifically for nurses who are ready to move beyond the idea and planning phase to actual business start-up. I am Traci Johnson — registered nurse and founder of Nurses as Entrepreneurs. I created NAE because too many nurses hold on to their clinical careers because they don't believe they have what it takes to build a successful business. Many have business ideas with real potential but are paralyzed by the noise, the comparison, and the influencer culture that makes entrepreneurship look easy and effortless when it is neither. This podcast is not that. Here, we talk about what business readiness actually looks like — not just emotionally, but financially, practically, and strategically. We talk about why knowing your real reason for building a business matters more than any business plan. We talk about the tools, the frameworks, and the honest conversations that most business content skips because they are uncomfortable. Each episode is designed to give you something useful — a concept, a framework, a question to sit with, or a step to take. We are not here to motivate you into action you are not ready for. We are here to help you get ready, get clear, and get moving in the right direction. Topics we cover include: Business and entrepreneurial readiness — are you actually prepared to build, or just prepared to wish? Defining your why — your real why, not the version that sounds good on social media. Business idea validation — because having a passion is not the same as having a viable business. Knowing your audience — you cannot serve everyone, and trying to will cost you everything. Time, financial, and emotional realities of business ownership. The difficult conversations nobody wants to have about special needs children, ailing parents, divorce, and abusive relationships — conversations no one is having but that are essential to business viability and success. Nurses operate in real life every day. We do not get to skip the hard parts — and neither does entrepreneurship. There is not always a light at the end of the tunnel, so we take our own with us just in case. At NAE, we believe you are better equipped to build a successful business when you have all the pieces and know the roadblocks before you run into them. Tools, systems, and frameworks to move from concept to clarity to revenue. If you are a nurse who has ever thought about starting a business, returning to one, or taking the one you have more seriously — pull up a chair. This is the conversation you have been waiting for.

Every question we get asked before someone starts their trial.
If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.
What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?
Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.
How do agency tiers work?
Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.
What is a talent profile?
A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.
Can I switch plans later?
Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.
Do you offer a free trial?
Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.
What happens if I cancel?
You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.
Is the 20% annual discount automatic?
Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.
What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?
That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
