Feeling isolated running your firm, or building a career without the “perfect” path? In this episode of Canopy Practice Success, KC Brothers talks with Erin Pohan, founder of Upkeeping LLC and creator of Wave Seattle (Women in Accounting, Finance, Visionaries, and Entrepreneurs).
Erin shares how moving 10 times as a military spouse shaped her belief that you do not have to build your career, or your firm, alone. You’ll hear practical ways to protect yourself from loneliness, find peers, and grow with community-first leadership.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- Why leadership feels lonely, and how peer support reduces burnout
- How to find your “accounting people” online and in-person
- Erin’s playbook for community building, from conferences to masterminds
- How Upkeeping grew from a solo start into a team, and what Erin hires next
- Why human connection improves business outcomes, not just feelings
