After 168 episodes of Design and Align Your Business, this new chapter begins with a deeper conversation about leadership, alignment, and what it truly means to build a business in the new age. Welcome to “The New Age CEO Podcast.”

In this first episode, Anna Nichols shares the evolution of the Spiritual Business Incubator and the identity shift that came with moving from solopreneur into the role of founder and CEO. This conversation weaves together practical business strategy, Human Design, energetics, leadership, business planning, astrology, and the realities of building a mission-driven company designed for long-term impact.

This episode speaks directly to entrepreneurs who know they are here to create something meaningful, not quick wins, not empty visibility, and not businesses built entirely around hustle and overextension.

Anna shares the deeper responsibility that comes with holding a vision, building sustainable structures, leading a team, and allowing yourself to be seen at a bigger level. She also breaks down the core responsibilities of a “New Age CEO” and why leadership in this era of entrepreneurship requires both strategy and self-awareness.

Inside the episode:

• The identity shifts that happen as businesses evolve
• Why alignment alone is not enough to sustain a business
• The transition from doing everything yourself to leading a company
• Human Design, astrology, and energetics as business tools
• The role of business planning in building long-term sustainability
• What legacy-driven entrepreneurship actually requires
• Leadership, visibility, decision-making, and capacity expansion
• The five responsibilities of a New Age CEO

If your business feels like it’s asking you to grow into a new level of leadership, this conversation will meet you there.
