Holly Knoll: From 15 Years in Corporate to Consulting Founder, Betting on Yourself & Staying Curious

Kaley sits down with Holly Knoll, founder of The Consultant Code and host of The Everyday Entrepreneur Podcast. Holly shares how she spent 15 years climbing the corporate ladder before realizing she didn't want to keep climbing, and how she took the leap into a consulting business that grew into a boutique consulting and staffing firm. Together they talk about the pivotal moments in Kaley's second chapter, learning to trust yourself, moving past imposter syndrome, and why staying curious is what gets you over the hump. If you've ever felt the pull to walk away from the path you were "supposed" to be on, this one's for you! Holly Knoll is the founder of The Consultant Code and host of The Everyday Entrepreneur Podcast. Based in Minneapolis, she loves international travel, is endlessly curious, and is a proud dog mom to her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Maggie, and auntie to two nieces. Through her podcast, Holly shares the stories of women entrepreneurs to inspire others to start businesses of their own. She took that leap herself in 2015, leaving 15 years in corporate America to start her own consulting business, which has since grown into a boutique consulting and staffing firm helping technology leaders build exceptional teams in project, program, product, and change management.
