To mark Women’s History Month, we’re serving you the secret sauce of four incredible female founders: Alice Bentinck, co-founder of Entrepreneur First; Debbie Wosskow, co-founder of AllBright; Saasha Celestial-One, co-founder of Olio; and Tamara Lohan, co-founder of Mr and Mrs Smith.Although the numbers for female-founded businesses are improving, it still remains that of the 6 million businesses in the UK, only 1/5 are run by women. There are twice as many male entrepreneurs as female ones. And only 1% of startup funding goes to female-founded businesses.“When I started, there was not a whiff of any kind of VC money specifically for female businesses, there were no female networking clubs, there were no female support groups, there was nothing.”In this one-off episode, recorded at our live event for International Women’s Day 2020, these founders share some of the toughest moments they’ve had in their careers, they discuss access to funding, and why there has never been a better time to become an entrepreneur, if you’re female. “I suppose my coping mechanism is to try and ignore [imposter syndrome] and just focus on solving the problems that will make my business better and more valuable, rather than constantly worrying about my own performance.”We chat about:Their toughest moments as entrepreneursFunding as female entrepreneursThe shifting gender balanceTackling imposter syndromeLinks:https://www.secretleaders.com/alice-bentinckhttps://www.secretleaders.com/allbright-debbie-woskowhttps://www.secretleaders.com/saasha-celestial-onehttps://www.secretleaders.com/tamara-lohanWant to receive our podcast on a weekly basis?

If the book is good, you’ll immediately boost your credibility and establish yourself as a thought leader in your industry. This can lead to speaking opportunities, the chance to land your own column, and an enhanced ability to land more (and more influential) clients.My guest for this episode, Jenna Kalinsky, is a published author and book editor. She helps entrepreneurs translate their most brilliant business ideas into well-organized, readable books.Jenna believes in the amazing power of the written (and published) word.“The minute you tell people you’ve written a book and you’re a published author, they look at you differently,” Jenna says. “It’s not easy to write a book, but when you make the time and take the effort in order to do it and do a good job of it, it’s the kind of thing that outlasts your daily work… and having a book 100% enhances everything you do.”In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌What will make you stand out in a marketplace full of books by other entrepreneursThe positives and negatives of the traditional, independent, and self-publishing options — and how to decide what will work best for youHow to deal with the vulnerability of putting your words out into the world About Jenna KalinskyJenna Kalinsky is the founder of One Lit Place, full-service writers' centre that provides writing, coaching, and copy editing services, online writing courses, and a secure online Writers Lounge where writers meet, chat, and share ideas at any time, and from anywhere.

Riana Lynn grew up in Chicago and, partway through graduate school, got interested in bringing more raw foods to her area. She had gotten into more general entrepreneurship in college, but healthy food is particularly important to her because a number of her family members suffer from chronic illnesses, which are much less common in regions where fresh and healthy food is the norm. She has founded many food-related companies since then, the most recent--and current--one being Journey Foods. Today, Riana joins us to talk about her journey to Journey. She discusses her experience as a serial entrepreneur and what she's learned from it. She takes us through the three pillars of the mission of Journey Foods. She tells us about some surprising characteristics she looks for in a new hire. She notes the twofold role of organization and communication in a successful business. She talks about the importance of making the early relationships in a company good ones, and she discusses the future of women in technology and entrepreneurship. “Great companies are built around good culture.” This week on SocialFly's Entreprenista Podcast: Riana's personal story and how it led her to where she is todayWhat to look for in a new hireThe importance of creativity in an employeeThe importance of organization and communicationTop tips for aspiring entrepreneursThe crucial role of early relationships in a companyThe future of women in technology and entrepreneurship Connect with Riana Journey Foods WebsiteJourney Foods InstagramJourney Foods TwitterJourney Foods FacebookRiana's InstagramRiana's TwitterRiana's Facebook Say “Hello!” To DigiCards™ Are you ready to take your virtual team meetings to the next level?

“How can we have the biggest impact globally?”Vascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. Currently symptoms do not appear until the late stages, often when it is too late. Two PhD students, John Carroll & Eamonn Colley made a breakthrough discovery that enables a radically earlier diagnosis.They founded Vexev to create an affordable health service that maps the vascular systems of customers, observes how it changes over time, and alerts doctors if something is about to go wrong. This technology has the potential to impact millions of people, transcending humanity beyond vascular disease. In this episode, you’ll learn about the initial research that led to Vexev, the size of the problem John and Eamonn are solving, and why Tip Piumsomboon was convinced to invest in their idea.Episodes air every second Wednesday/Thursday at 5:30 am. Don't forget to subscribe.Episode interviewees: Vexev co-founders John Carroll, Eamonn Colley and Blackbird Principal Tip Piumsomboon.Key topics covered:How John and Eamonn went from academics to entrepreneursThe changing healthcare landscapeProactive, not reactive, medical treatmentThe best of John and Eamonn: “We were PHD students: running a company and even working out how to email was new to us.”"“If we're tracking the coronary arteries over time, things like heart attacks are no longer these sudden events, it's actually a long, slow development over time.”"This is happening and we're completely blind to it. We just wait until it's so bad of a problem that the patient is taken into the emergency room.”"If our system can work in those remote communities in the middle of outback Australia, we're very confident that they're going to be able to work all across the world.”"We found the further you are away from the hospitals, the more likely you are to probably need them due to health inequality and socioeconomic issues.”Tip Piumsomboon on Vexev: “With healthcare, there's a lot of variables. Going into the market and understanding the regulatory part of it, the IP part of it, the different stakeholders - it’s not like a software product where you can just launch it on the internet and see who downloads it. It’s a lot more systematic.”"They did what they said they would do in the space of two months.”"When things are hard, it gives me a lot of comfort that John and Eamonn have each other to talk it through and it helps them make better decisions versus dwelling in their heads about it.”"The challenge, as with every startup, is going from building a product to building a team. How do you bring another two or three or 20 or 50 other people into the circle? And how do you create a culture that allows everyone's voices to be heard?”“Being on someone's board is kind of like being on someone's team, and the most important part of the team is trust.”

And so it’s about, for me, listening to my intuition. And listening to that voice that tis sometimes a little quiet and sometimes a little nagging. And I try to always listen to that. And yes, people thought I was absolutely insane…but I just felt like I needed to continue to evolve as an artist, a business person, as a spiritual being living on this planet.”— Nick Demos “We’re in this period where a lot of people are alone right now. Or they are surrounded by immediate family at all times. Which, again, magnifies everything. It magnifies all your stuff. Because it is uncomfortable…and we don’t like uncomfortable. Well, what if you just sit, just sit in it. And not only just sit in it, but welcome it. If you can welcome it, if you can allow it to become a part of you.”— Nick DemosFREE WORKSHOP: Creative Stories that Convertwww.thenickdemos.comNick’s Instagram @thenickdemosNick’s Facebook @thenickdemosNick’s YouTube @thenickdemosEva’s Instagram @badbitchlivingBook a discovery coaching session with Eva($100 off her 4-week coaching program)Kyley’s Instagram @akashicgraceBook an Akashic Records Reading with Kyley

“Learning the step-by-step of how to invest is out there,” says today’s guests. “But getting your mindset around fighting the fear, taking the first step, and growing yourself is also crucial. It’s not just financial; it’s also mental and emotional. We’re all at different phases in our life—different seasons—so it’s helpful to band together with like-minded people to get the best out of investing in ourselves and in our community.”Stephanie Wankel and Kristen Beatty are both busy working moms, entrepreneurs, and the hosts of the Frenzied to Financial Freedom podcast. Stephanie was motivated to start the podcast after being discouraged by the lack of female presence in the multifamily investing space. She reached out to her old friend, Kristen, an entrepreneur in her own right, to partner with her on this lifelong journey.
