The 2x2 Podcast

If you’re an expert executive considering independent consulting—or already running your own thriving practice—this podcast is for you. The 2x2 Podcast for Independent Consultants goes beyond the usual business advice. We talk to real-life practitioners—strategists, deep thinkers, and multi-hyphenates who thrive on autonomy, intellectual curiosity, and portfolio careers. Whether you're exploring the leap from corporate, navigating a career transition, or scaling from solo consulting to a microfirm, we dig into how top independents build, grow, and sustain their businesses. Hosted by Lauren Wambold Patel, a seven-figure consultant who learned the game the hard way, this show brings you candid conversations with independent consultants and fractional executives who are building successful businesses on their own terms. We go deep—breaking down their strategies, pricing models, niche positioning, client acquisition, and how they balance working on their business with running it internally. This isn’t theory—it’s the real playbook. Subscribe now to The 2x2 Podcast for Strategists and Indie Consultants and take your expertise up and to the right.
