Luisa shares her journey from electrical engineer to entrepreneur, including how she grew her business to six figures in just a few months before leaving her corporate job. She breaks down her approach to content creation, why consistency and \u201cgetting the reps in\u201d matters more than perfection, and how she uses content and email to build long-term relationships that drive sustainable growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh and Luisa also dive into the strategy behind content that compounds over time. She explains how to repurpose content across platforms, adapt to changes in social media over more than a decade in business, and find a format you actually enjoy so you can stay consistent. They also explore the shift from paid ads to organic content, the importance of creating space for deep thinking, and why playing the long game is what separates successful businesses from short-lived ones. This episode offers a practical look at how to build a business that supports both growth and quality of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/luisazhou.com\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/luisazhou.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this episode of the Interact Podcast, Josh Haynam sits down with Luisa Zhou to unpack how she built a million-dollar business starting on the side of her 9-to-5.
