You've dimmed your voice so someone else could feel bigger. You've carried everyone else's needs on your back while your own dream sat quiet in the corner. Not anymore. Welcome to the ICONIK CEO® Podcast for women CEOs. This show was created for the woman who's done borrowing space. Done building someone else's empire with her own two hands. You're here to build your empire. Not a hobby (no hobbist allowed). Not a side project. An empire that outlives you and cracks the door open for the next woman standing where you used to stand. Because when one woman rises, she doesn't rise alone. She pulls the whole room up with her. This is ICONIK CEO®. Stop shrinking. Start scaling.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-15T12:21:38.125176+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/iconik-ceo-6320627"},"episode":{"title":"94: Why You’re Making Money But Still Not Profitable (And How to Fix It) w/ Susanne Mariga","slug":"94-why-you-re-making-money-but-still-not-profitable-and-how-to-fix-it-w-susanne-mariga","published_at":"2026-03-24T04:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/iconik-ceo-6320627/94-why-you-re-making-money-but-still-not-profitable-and-how-to-fix-it-w-susanne-mariga","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/iconik-ceo-6320627","url":"https://nikishaking.com/blog/making-money-but-not-profitable","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/7cfca30d-de26-49dd-a51f-ae82cce9ff77.mp3","summary":"In this episode of the ICONIK CEO Podcast, we’re talking about something many entrepreneurs quietly struggle with: You’re booking clients. You’re generating revenue. But you still feel a little uncertain, reactive, and unsure about your money. If you’ve ever thought: “I make money, but I don’t feel in control.” “Where is all my money actually going?” “Why does scaling feel more stressful instead of easier?” “When will I finally feel profitable?” This conversation is for you. I’m joined by CPA and Certified Profit First Professional Susanne Mariga , founder of Profit First for Minority Business Enterprises. This is not a conversation about spreadsheets. This is about leadership. It’s about ownership. It’s about designing profit intentionally not hoping it’s there at the end.
