The Long Game with Kristi Smith

Most business advice tells you how to grow faster. This show asks a different question: what are you building, and will it still be worth it in 20 years?

Welcome to The Long Game with Kristi Smith — a podcast for entrepreneurs and leaders who are done with models that require them to betray themselves in order to succeed.

Each episode is a short, unhurried conversation — solo reflections, hard-won lessons from 25 years in management consulting and coaching, and practical frameworks for building a business that actually fits who you are. 

No hustle culture. No performance. Just honest thinking about leadership, legacy, and what it means to build something you'll be proud of for the long run. Episodes drop weekly. Most run under 30 minutes — long enough to go somewhere real, short enough to finish on a walk.

Kristi Smith works with entrepreneurs who want to build ethical, sustainable businesses without burning themselves out or selling their souls.
