Your Message Is the Business.

“Your voice is your most powerful tool for impact. It can inspire change, share your unique story, and create a legacy that extends far beyond the present moment.”

I'm Donna Kunde, Founder of 365 Business Maker and Podcast Profit Strategist. I help coaches, consultants, speakers, and authors turn their message into a business system that attracts clients, builds authority, and compounds over time. That belief, that your message is the business, is more than a tagline. It is the foundation of everything I have built and everything I help my clients build.

My journey began with a 20-year career as a decorated military musician in the U.S. Army, where I learned the values of discipline, resilience, and service. Those skills prepared me to face some of life's toughest challenges, including a battle with Lyme disease that nearly took my life. That experience was a turning point, inspiring me to step behind the mic and use my voice to make a difference.

“Challenges don’t define us; how we rise and share our journey does. When you align your voice with your purpose, you can create change that resonates across the world.”

Before Influence Radio Network, I co-founded IBGR Network, one of the early global business radio platforms, which helped establish the foundation for what I build today. In 2023, I launched Influence Radio Network, syndicated to radio directories in 130+ countries.

In 2026, I launched 365 Business Maker, the agency, podcast studio, and radio network built around that same belief: your message is the business. Through 365 Business Maker and its tagline Building Business for Good, I work with coaches, consultants, and experts through two flagship programs. The Client Acquisition System is a 12-month program that builds the authority platform and client generation system around your message. The Podcast Profit System guides podcasters through two tracks: launch and grow your show, or monetize the audience you have already built.

That belief became a book. Your Message Is the Business, co-authored with Dr. James Bryant, is an Amazon international bestseller and the philosophy behind the entire 365 Business Maker brand. I am also co-author of The Influencers Formula, an international bestseller ranked number one in three countries, and the creator of Business Podcasting Made Easy.

To date, I have produced over 15,000 podcast episodes with 1.6 million downloads, and several of my shows have ranked in the top 100 globally. I am honored to be recognized as one of Virginia's Top 50 Women Leaders and to have received the Lead and Lift Others Culture Award from John Maxwell. I am also a Certified John Maxwell Team leadership coach.

What I Believe

At the heart of everything I do is a belief that podcasting—when aligned with purpose—can change lives. These core values shape how I live, lead, and serve:

Authentic Reflection
I believe wisdom begins with stillness. I make time to pause, observe, and listen—trusting that clarity comes through quiet reflection.

Voice as Legacy
I believe every voice holds power. I amplify truth and purpose—not for attention, but for lasting impact.

Nature as Teacher
I believe the natural world guides us. I follow its rhythms, learn from its seasons, and let simplicity lead the way.

Purpose Over Performance
I believe in alignment over applause. My work is an extension of who I am, rooted in meaning, not metrics.

Imagination with Intention
I believe transformation begins with thought. I lead with vision and take aligned action to bring ideas to life.

Self-Leadership First
I believe influence starts from within. I lead myself well so I can serve others with integrity and depth.

If you are a coach, consultant, speaker, or author who is ready to stop guessing and start building a platform that actually produces clients, I would love to work with you. The Influence Scorecard is the best place to start. It is free, reviewed by a real human, and returned within 2 business days. That is my promise. :-)
