Nice to meet you

I'm Carla Wilmaris your favorite podcast strategist!

I’m Carla Wilmaris, Founder of Idea to Launch Academy and the host of the Idea to Launch Podcast. Before I evolved into a passion-driven Podcast Guru, I was a corporate girl crunching numbers behind a desk. YES, me... behind a desk, counting... for hours! I worked 40-60 hours a week as an accountant and although I was great at what I did I knew I wasn’t in alignment with my purpose.

So... what do you do when you realize you’re not living in your purpose? You can either A) stay in the place that keeps you stagnant and stunts your growth or you can B) pivot and lean into the skills that make you unique and fulfilled.

Can you tell which option I chose? You guessed it, B! However, I didn’t quit right away.

Every day I would come home and work towards my passion for the podcasting industry. It was just a hobby in the beginning, but within 7 months I sold out a live show and finally quit my corporate job to become a full-time podcaster.

Through sharing my personal story I was able to amass over 1 million downloads, over $100k in ad revenue and sponsorships, and I created a business to help others just like me do the same!

I discovered my passion for teaching early (my dolls and stuffed animals can vouch for me) and knew I had to create a platform for others to learn what I’ve learned in a quarter of the time!

My academy Idea to Launch has now helped over 700 podcasters launch a successful and profitable podcast. I love getting messages from my alumni about the doors it has opened for them and the opportunities that have come from owning a platform of their own.

It would be an honor to help you launch your own podcast so we can increase the wealth circulation in our communities and continue to empower more and more women!
