#359 - 4 Final Lessons of Being Boss

June 20, 2023·1 hr·5 clips

Emily reveals this is the last Being Boss episode, sharing four final lessons from a show that turned into a multi-million dollar company.

Emily DeVos closes the show herself. After the opening, she calls this the final Being Boss episode and builds it around four final lessons. The mood is grateful, a little tender, and still useful. She sounds like someone packing up a long chapter while making sure listeners leave with something they can use. In this excerpt, celebration gets the most room. Wins are not framed as shiny proof for other people. They are small ways to stop, breathe, and remember that the work mattered. Emily gives that idea real texture: jewelry, coffee, cocktails, a clinked glass, a beautiful view, good food. These are ordinary pleasures, but she treats them like anchors. That is where the farewell feels most personal. She remembers rings connected to vacations, publishing the book, and other milestones that still carry meaning after the moment has passed. The larger lesson is gentle but practical. Creative independence can grow heavy. Business owners need pauses, small pleasures, and pockets of peace so the work does not become the whole room. She does not make it sound easy. There is a plainspoken sense that building this kind of life can leave a person wondering what they are doing. Still, she knows why. That certainty keeps the goodbye from feeling like a disappearance. It feels more like a business owner choosing where her energy belongs now. She is staying online, but the podcast is ending so her focused effort can move elsewhere. The final gratitude and the familiar do the work be boss sendoff land like a practical blessing.

As heard by us

A thoughtful finale that treats celebration as part of the work, not a bonus.

Being Boss ends by focusing on the ordinary things that keep a creative business feeling human: the wins, the small celebrations, the good food, the beautiful views, and the pauses that make the work feel worth doing.
