Today I'm joined by Maacha Le Blanc, the founder of Milli Mylk, and one of the very few women of color to have ever raised more than $1M in capital for her business. She's not only on a mission to change the nut milk industry, but she's all about increasing access to funds and information for women of color. In a world where we've been taught to keep the secrets of our success under lock and key, Maacha's flipping the scripts and talking about how helpful a founder's circle can be and how much more we can learn from one another. If you're looking for ways to get started with funding, here are a few of Maacha's recommendations: Grants: Amber Grant, Visa and Amex, Cartier Women’s Initiative Award, Tory Birch Foundation Fellows Grant, Grantsforwomen.org, and FedEx Small Business Grant Communities: The BRIMM, The WIE Suite, Braintrust, Founders Studio, Blabbity, Afro Tech, Female Founders CollectiveIncubators: https://altar.io/best-startup-accelerators-usa

In this episode, Leslie Fram, Senior Vice President of Music Strategy for CMT, shows us how simply questioning the status quo can help break down barriers. As a champion of female artists and underrepresented communities, she found herself questioning the way music was being served on the radio and perpetuating stereotypes like "people don't want to hear female artists," or "female artists can't sell out shows." Knowing that wasn't the case she set out, with research, to break the cycles that perpetuate the narratives that keep women down. Now CMT plays male and female artists 50/50, focuses on equal pay for its talent, and works to support new and emerging artists from traditionally underrepresented groups. You don't want to miss this thought-provoking episode that will raise your awareness around the narratives that exist in your day to day and how you can become a cycle breaker too.

It's not all wishing that makes the magic happen though, she explains that you have to work hard to be ready when an opportunity comes knocking so you can seize the moment.

That it's a bumpy road from inception to 7-figures and failures are not the be all, end all. In fact, failure is necessary. A lesson we could all stand to be reminded of!

It was such a pleasure sitting down with Lindsay Pinchuck, an award-winning entrepreneur, consultant, community builder, and Mom. Lindsay grew up in the suburbs of Detroit, graduated from the University of Michigan and moved to Chicago. After moving to a new city and finding out she and her husband were pregnant, she realized that she didn't have support or community, so naturally, she started hosting events for expectant parents. These events grew internationally into a 7-figure brand called Bump Club and Beyond and many of their partnerships included Target, Huggies, and The Honest Company to name a few. After selling and exiting the company, Lindsay started her own consulting business that helps brands learn how build community. In today's epidsode, we talk everything from how to get sponsors for your brand and monetize a community to which social media platforms to build your community on.

At 6 months pregnant, while working for a large fashion brand, Marguerite Adzick began seeing a gap in the market of athleisure clothing, so she started Addison Bay and has never looked back. In her words, she had to go for it, and that is the type of female entrepreneurs that make it; the ones that go for it, find gritty and passionate people to work alongside them, and don't look back. With a rapidly expanding company, Marguerite is constantly looking for ways to differentiate her brand from the competition and carve her own path in the ever-changing world of fashion. In this episode, she shares the highs and lows of being a solo founder and how she has and continues to overcome hurdles in her business so that she can leave a legacy for her daughter who she hopes one day will run the company.

Today I sat down with Christy Laurence, the CEO and founder of the marketing and productivity tool Plann. While you may be familiar with Plann as primarily an "instagram scheduler," she explains how the problem she aims to solve is actually much deeper than that. Originally seeing a need for an organized, visual first approach to social media, she launched Plann as a way to share the success she had found on a mass scale. By staying connected to what customers need, the challenges they face, and focusing first on how to provide them solutions to their challenges she continues to grow Plann into a leading productivity platform.

When you launch a business it's not uncommon to feel like you have to acheive everything all at once. The sales goals, the distribution, the brick and mortar location, it can be overwhelming. That's why I'm so excited to share Carrie Morey's story, owner of Callie's Hot Little Biscuits. She started her biscuit company slowly, with a clear goal in mind, and took her time expanding and growing. As she likes to say "there's no traffic in your own lane," and if her journey to a multi-million dollar company is any testiment, going at your own pace is a sound business strategy.
On today's episode, I'm joined by Elizabeth Rees, Co-Founder of Chasing Paper, as she shares what helped her get started and the things that help her manage her growing business to this day. The biggest secret we discuss? Remaining curious. As entrepreneurs we often get so focused on seeing results that we close off a lot of avenues.

Have you ever heard someone say "the customer is always right"? Chances are this pesky phrase has been thrown at you more than once in your career. In today's episode I challenge the ancient idea that you should constantly say yes and explain how serving your client and achieving your highest potential sometimes means telling the customer "no". Gasps I know, I know, it sounds counterintuitive but I promise this episode will give you the tools to stay in your power and build lifelong customer relationships that lead to even better business.

If there's one saying that rings true it's: Laughter Is The Best Medicine. My guest today is living proof that sometimes not taking yourself too seriously can literally change your life. Stephanie Krikorian is the author of "Zenbender" and my guest today. She shares her compelling story of how losing her job as a television producer sent her on a quest to "fix herself" only to realize she wasn't broken. Her refreshingly unique perspective on life is delightfully funny and will make you examine the things in your life that might not actually be serving you.

If you have trouble telling who's the guest in this episode, it's because I'm interviewing my identical twin sister, Stacy Smallwood. Our voices are so similar our parents struggle to tell us apart on the phone. Don't let that deter you because this is one of my favorite interviews ever. Stacy has been an entrepreneur for more nearly 13 years and has weathered many storms in her business. Her many years in business make her advice invaluable to anyone who is or wants to be an entrepreneur. In this episode she shares exactly how she's survived everything from the crash of 2008, just a year and a half into her business, to theft by her employees. She is hands down one of the strongest business owners I know, and she has created the tremendous success she has now by following the very same tips she's giving you in this episode. I know you'll enjoy every minute of it. Have fun!

What if we've had it all wrong? What if we've spent too much of our time on delayed happiness when we can have a slice of happiness everyday? I believe we can! I believe we don't need to wait until we have a certain level of success, or new car, or other "thing" before we are happy. In this episode I challenge the notion that happiness comes as a result of success and talk about how I've discovered that everything good comes from you when you're feeling good first. I'll walk you through how to create more happiness in your life on a daily basis rather than waiting for it to come along once in a while. I can't wait to hear from you how making this slight change will effect your happiness long term. Enjoy!
