Gratitude Geek | Business Education for Gen X Women Solopreneurs

Kandas Rodarte has been in digital marketing for over 30 years, and she's a metastatic breast cancer thriver. Those two facts tell you a lot about Gratitude Geek before you even press play. The podcast serves Gen X women solopreneurs who've been through something hard and are rebuilding their businesses and lives with strategy, systems, and a heavy dose of gratitude as a genuine business tool. With over 300 episodes in the archive, there's plenty to work through. The show is built around interviews with other Gen X women entrepreneurs who've transformed adversity into wisdom and business growth. Episodes cover practical ground: marketing strategies, productivity systems, building authentic client relationships, and growing a business that fits your actual life rather than consuming it. Rodarte calls her audience micropreneurs, solopreneurs, and nano-influencers, and that specificity matters. This isn't a podcast about scaling to a billion-dollar valuation. What keeps listeners coming back is Rodarte's perspective. She's not offering hustle culture advice or pretending that positive thinking solves everything. Her own experience with cancer informs the show's philosophy that gratitude and appreciation aren't soft skills but legitimate business strategies. The episodes are consistently practical, the guests are well-chosen, and the whole thing has a warmth to it that never tips over into sentimentality.
