Maybe you've toyed with building a paid community as part of your business model. Or you gave it a shot and later shelved it because you just couldn't make it work. Start-up Parent Founder Sarah K. Peck goes deep on how she built three paid communities:How she chose the initial idea that morphed into her company and multiple highly engaged (paid) communities.Why what looks like overnight success (260 applications for 25 spots) was actually years of experiments, trials and listening to a consistent audience.How she looks at experimenting today—and why a one-year commitment keeps her focused on the best outcomes for her members and herself.The role that lighthearted fun—joy even—can play in the success of your community and your own happiness.The intersection of motherhood and business and finding your sweet spot between the two.LINKSSarah K.

We often divide our career options in two paths: entrepreneurship or employment. You either work for yourself or you work for “The Man.” Sarah K. Peck of Startup Parent says this creates a false binary and pits the two against each other. Here's her advice to balance entrepreneurial and employment opportunities in your life.

Tune in to hear Nikki's frank and hilarious conversation with Startup Parent founder and CEO, Sarah Peck.  An entrepreneur who is helping moms reimagine and build a new future of work, Sarah believes working moms have leadership skills and insights that can transform the way we work and live in a way that's better for everyone.  As Nikki and Sarah agree, motherhood trains a woman how to be a leader.Connect with Sarah on Instagram, sign up for her newsletter and check out her live series this summer!   And be sure to look into The Wise Women's Council, an annual leadership program Sarah runs for women to come together honestly while navigating the challenges of working and parenting.   Support the show

#184 — Vanessa Van Edwards learned right away that being an expert in behavioral science did not translate into innate parenting know-how. An author, speaker, and lead investigator with Science of People, Vanessa first appeared on Episode #96 of Startup Parent. She returned for Episode #104, in which she busted some myths about the first weeks of parenthood. Now, she's opening up about the first year, explaining that while some phases do indeed “go by so fast,” others can feel like a slog, but telling parents that it goes by so fast is not, well, helpful. We dig into the nitty-gritty of the first year of parenting, what surprised us, what we wish we'd known, and the milestones most parenting books miss. We also talk about miscarriage, and Vanessa also speaks honestly about the experience of having a miscarriage at eight weeks, and the physicality of it—many people talk about the emotional experience, but she wasn't prepared for how long it would take, and what her body would go through in the experience. Tune in to this episode to hear Vanessa's take on what the first year of parenting was like for her, how it affected her perspective on work and friendships, and also how the pandemic (and parenting) might also be an opportunity for a fresh start. Episodes mentioned: Episode #96, our first interview with Vanessa on Startup Parent. Episode #104, in which she busted some myths about the first weeks of parenthood. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/startupparent/message

In this episode, we're learning all about how to talk about money. This is a subject that makes most people feel very vulnerable–naked, even–and it can stop us from finding happiness and satisfaction with ourselves, our lives, and what we do each day. Here to discuss this with me is Sarah Kathleen Peck. She's the founder and CEO of Startup Parent, as well as a good friend of mine. She's had her work featured in publications including Forbes, Inc., and Fast Company, worked with countless women entrepreneurs, and recorded over 200 interviews on her own podcast. So, Profit Boss, are you ready to get real about what money is and isn't–and how to make it work for you instead of worrying about how much you have or need? If so, this very special episode is for you! Here's what you'll find out in this week's episode of Profit Boss® Radio: Why money is a tool that becomes completely worthless if you don't know what you want from it. Why so many extremely wealthy people are so miserable. Why there's some power to manifesting–but why you shouldn't just sit in front of your mirror saying “I'm rich!” when you're not. How getting clear about your intentions can help you clarify your questions about money and unpack your trauma. The common stumbling blocks that get in the way between women and financial goals. How Sarah and her husband manage money together without micromanaging each other.

Today's guest is someone we've wanted to speak to for years. In fact, she was one of the first women we knew who not only worked in tech, but also had a thriving career in it. And this was long before we started Marvelous!So, it goes without saying that Sarah K. Peck is a force of nature. She's the founder of Startup Parent — a company that focuses on the narratives we share (and more importantly, those we don't) about work, parenting, and motherhood. She's also the host of the award-winning Startup Parent podcast where she chats with incredible women about business and parenting. And it's her mission to make parenting easier in the Startup world. Because here's the deal: Silicon Valley cannot figure out kids. Sarah says it herself, and we couldn't agree more. In the world of startups where everything revolves around the new and cutting edge, children and paternity plans are still treated like unspeakables. When Sarah first got pregnant years ago, she was the only pregnant female in her startup and things were incredibly tough for her to navigate — she even had to build her own maternity leave from scratch since her company had no infrastructure surrounding it. All of that led her to the question - Where are the pregnant women in tech?That's when she started interviewing other women about their own experiences with startups and parenthood, which is how her podcast came about. In today's episode, Sarah talks about her employment history and how she transitioned to entrepreneurship, how she navigated parenting in an uber busy startup environment, the importance of representing diversity of experiences, and so much more!Here's a peek at what else we discuss: How she worked with her CEO to build a viable maternity program How she approaches money (and why she's always had two jobs) Why you earning money and resources is a part of activism Why you should be raising your rates in your business frequently  The difference between bootstrapped companies vs. venture companies And more!As a society, we've been indoctrinated in a culture where hiding kids and women at home is normal. Which is why we believe talking about our unique challenges as working parents in startups is so important!Resources Sarah K.Peck's Website Sarah K.Peck's Newsletter  Sarah K.Peck's Instagram and Twitter Startup Parent Website Startup Parent Newsletter Startup Parent  Podcast The Wise Women Council Sticky Situations (Template Guides)  This week's Joy: We can relate to both of Sarah's joys - chocolate and swimming pools. She has to eat chocolate everyday and loves getting into the swimming pool to recollect her thoughts and calm her mind. This week's Hustle: Sarah's hustle is simple and effective - the Control key on your keyboard. She specifically recommends the CTRL+F keys if you want to find something on a webpage and loves using text replacements as a way to save time. This podcast is brought to you by the Marvelous online teaching platform.Marvelous is an easy-to-use platform that helps you build and sell your own courses memberships and live-streamed programs.
