Peace Through Business: How Women in Rwanda and Afghanistan Are Rebuilding Nations Through Entrepreneurship In this special episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I continue our series spotlighting Peace Through Business, a remarkable program empowering women entrepreneurs in Afghanistan, Rwanda, and beyond. The stories are profound, the impact undeniable, and the lessons universal: when women rise, entire nations begin to heal and prosper. As a corporate anthropologist and Blue Ocean Strategist, I want to remind us at the start: “When you invest in a woman entrepreneur, you invest in her family, her community, and her country's future.” This conversation brings together Monica Smiley, publisher of Enterprising Women Magazine; Chantal Munanayire, Peace Through Business Program Director for Rwanda, Uganda, Canada, and the UK; and Manisha Wafeq, who leads the Afghanistan initiative. Each share not only how the program works but how it transforms lives — economically, socially, and spiritually. Creating Peace Through Business When Enterprising Women Foundation assumed stewardship of Peace Through Business in 2024, it became the natural extension of its mission to empower women globally. Monica Smiley explains that Enterprising Women began 25 years ago as a publication to celebrate women entrepreneurs but soon evolved into a global movement. “About 12 years ago,” she recalls, “we launched the Enterprising Women Foundation to mentor girls in underserved communities across 30 U.S. cities. Then, by inheriting the Peace Through Business program, we broadened our mission — from helping American women entrepreneurs to supporting women rebuilding countries after conflict.” Originally founded by Dr. Terry Neese at the request of former First Lady Laura Bush, the Peace Through Business program provides an intensive education in entrepreneurship, leadership, and civic responsibility. It began in Afghanistan, where women were often excluded from public life, and expanded into Rwanda, a country rebuilding its social and economic fabric after the 1994 genocide. Monica remembers traveling to Rwanda in 2014 and again in 2018. “The transformation in just four years was stunning,” she says. “There were new hotels, a thriving convention center, and a new sense of hope. Women who once dreamed of a single business now run two or three. They are not waiting to be rescued — they are building the future themselves.” Chantal's Journey: From Survivor to Mentor Few embody that spirit more than Chantal Munanayire. A survivor of Rwanda's genocide, Chantal rebuilt her life — and her country — one business at a time. In 2009, she broke barriers by opening the first woman-owned car repair and paint shop in Kigali, the capital city. “When I began, I didn't even know what a business plan was,” she says with a laugh. “I was passionate but directionless. Through Peace Through Business, I learned to plan, to lead, and to see my company as separate from myself. That gave me freedom — and power.” Today, Chantal runs the program across several countries and has mentored hundreds of women. “The women who come to us are determined but often afraid,” she explains. “We teach them to turn that fear into focus. Once they succeed, they return to mentor others. That's how we build a sisterhood.” She shares stories of women who began as small vendors and now own supermarkets, or dairy farmers who built shopping centers. “When one woman thrives, she brings ten others along,” Chantal says. “That's how you build a country.” Education, Mentorship, and Advocacy Peace Through Business unfolds in three powerful stages: Education– Ten weeks of in-country classes covering marketing, finance, leadership, and business planning. Leadership Development– A cultural and professional exchange in the U.S., where top graduates attend the Enterprising Women Conference to meet mentors and global leaders. Pay It Forward– Graduates return home to mentor others, advocate for policy reform, and expand the reach of women in leadership. As Manisha Wafeq explains, “This is not a one-week seminar. It's a life-changing journey. Our women become educators, activists, and community builders. They learn that business is not only about profit — it's about peace. And after they graduate, they pay their knowledge forward to other women and join our alumni association.” A Call to Action: Supporting Women Who Change the World The episode closes with a powerful reflection from Monica and Andi: sustainable change requires participation. The program's impact depends on mentorship, funding, and global awareness. “This is a Blue Ocean in action,” says Andi Simon. “These women are not competing in crowded markets. They're creating new ones — new industries, new opportunities, new futures.” Monica adds, “We've given the Enterprising Women of the Year award to one Afghan and one Rwandan woman annually for nearly two decades. Seeing them stand on stage in front of hundreds of cheering peers brings me to tears every time. But we need more hands and hearts to keep the program thriving.” Every contribution — financial or personal — helps sustain the work. Donations go directly to scholarships, training, and travel for participants. Mentors provide guidance and connection, bridging continents through compassion and shared purpose.

Why These Stories Matter For Andi Simon, this episode isn't just another interview — it's a reflection of what anthropology teaches us about change: that transformation begins when people reimagine what's possible. “Change happens,” Andi concludes, “when we stop waiting for permission and start creating possibilities. These women are doing exactly that. They're rewriting the story of what it means to lead, to heal, and to build peace through business.” Listen in to our YouTube Video:

There's scaling advice, and then there's feminist scaling advice. And here's the truth: these two things are actually quite different. If you've ever received business advice that felt off, like it wasn't accounting for your full experience as a woman leader, there's a reason for that. In this week's episode, Eleanor is pulling back the curtain on why traditional scaling advice often falls short for women entrepreneurs, and what we really need to consider when building scalable businesses.

What if the way you've been taught to plan your year is actually setting you up to fail? That's exactly what we're diving into with Megan Sumrell, a time management and productivity expert who helps women entrepreneurs create schedules and plans that actually work.

In this episode, Megan and I explore why conventional annual planning fails, how to shift your mindset so your plans feel achievable, and the exact steps you can take to design a realistic roadmap for your year ahead.

You've outgrown the version of you who needed to make her pricing palatable. If your numbers still reflect who you used to be—no wonder they feel off. In this episode of The Money Coach School, we're cutting ties with outdated pricing patterns and rewriting your rates to match the woman you've become. You'll discover how to spot when you're still quoting numbers from an outdated version of yourself, and what it takes to set prices that hold without explaining or softening. Because your price isn't just a number. It's a line in the sand. It's power. It's clarity. It's a declaration of who you are — and who you refuse to be anymore. In this episode, I talk about: Why pricing isn't just about dollars - it's an energetic expression of your self-concept. How to know when your rates are clinging to an old identity (and how to catch up fast). Why emotionally clear pricing creates confidence and attracts aligned clients. 4 steps to shift from pricing from fear to pricing from leadership. Why holding your standard is the real challenge - and the real key to financial authority. 3 coaching questions that anchor your rates in power. ~~ For full show notes, transcript, and to grab Kendall's free pricing guide, click here: www.themoneycoachschoolpodcast.com/106
From aspiring fine artist to co-founding a groundbreaking media company and advising Fortune 500s, Cynthia Nelson's journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and relentless curiosity. With more than 25 years leading at the intersection of capital, innovation, and culture, Cynthia has proven herself a powerhouse in entrepreneurship and growth strategy.Her story begins in the unlikeliest of places: a receptionist desk at a computer repair shop in the mid-80s. From there, she witnessed the tech industry's birth, climbed the ranks at Ingram Micro, and navigated the turbulence of early startups, including a devastating betrayal by a business partner. But rather than stepping back, she leaned into every challenge, becoming one of the few Latina women to raise $15 million in private equity and ultimately selling her company Todobebé after a decade of pioneering media, parenting content, and cultural storytelling.Cynthia shares the pivotal lessons that fueled her success, from the importance of listening deeply to your customers, to the courage of saying “yes” to unfamiliar challenges, to the discipline of surrounding yourself with advisors who tell you the hard truths. She reminds us that entrepreneurship is not just about scaling fast, but about staying grounded in what people actually need, not just what founders imagine.Her reflections stretch beyond business into the deeper realities of being a woman in leadership: the sacrifices, the biases, and the double standards that continue to shape the funding landscape. Yet Cynthia's approach is one of fierce generosity, mentoring other women, championing female investors, and encouraging founders to build smarter, more sustainable businesses.This is a story of grit, creativity, and impact, and a masterclass in building with purpose. Tune in to hear Cynthia Nelson's remarkable journey and her wisdom for the next generation of women entrepreneurs.Chapters

Join us as Robin Edgar, seasoned wealth strategist with 35+ years of experience, shares her remarkable journey from teenage motherhood to guiding clients through life-changing financial decisions.Robin introduces her powerful "trapeze analogy" that reframes how we view life's transitions. "We can be swinging comfortably on our trapeze, but real growth happens when we let go to catch the next bar," she explains with hard-earned wisdom. "The space between—catching air—that's where transformation happens." Her framework of living at the intersection of faith, family, and finance offers a refreshing holistic approach to decision-making that transcends typical financial advice.This conversation goes far beyond money matters. Robin reveals practical strategies for navigating major life decisions, including her two-step approach: creating a detailed pro/con list and asking "what's the worst that could happen?" She challenges listeners to examine who they're seeking advice from, noting that "don't take advice from people more messed up than you" and "if you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room."Perhaps most powerful is Robin's perspective on life's valleys. "Your muscles aren't built by swinging back and forth on the trapeze. They're built when you hit the net," she shares, explaining how her own challenging moments became the foundation of her strength. Her mantra to "begin with the end in mind" provides a clarifying lens for evaluating choices, whether in business, parenting, or personal growth.Ready to rethink how you approach transitions and build strategy around the people you surround yourself with?

Want to slash your tax bill fast? In this episode, Tiffany reveals the short-term rental strategy that high-income earners are using to save thousands. Forget the 750-hour Real Estate Professional rule—this method only needs 100 hours a year. With the 7-day rule, your rental is treated like an active business, unlocking powerful tax savings and deductions that can wipe out W-2 income. You'll learn how to qualify, track your hours, and use cost segregation to maximize your first-year tax breaks. Real client stories show doctors, lawyers, and executives saving six figures in a single year—while still making money every month from rentals. This isn't a loophole—it's established tax law. If you're serious about lowering taxes and building long-term wealth, you can't afford to miss this.
You weren't meant to soften your power to make your price more palatable. You were meant to lead with it. In this episode, we're going deep into the emotional patterns that keep even ambitious women plateaued in pricing that reflects who they used to be—instead of the identity they're stepping into now. If you've ever padded your offer with extra bonuses “just in case,” quoted a price and felt a pang in your stomach, or stayed at the same rate a little too long—this conversation will shift everything. Because your pricing isn't just a business decision. It's a declaration of who you're becoming. We'll break down: 6 signs your pricing is still protecting, pleasing, or playing small. Why even successful women shrink their numbers—and how to stop. How patriarchal money conditioning sneaks into your offers. Key coaching questions that reconnect you to your power. What emotionally clean pricing actually looks and feels like. ~~ For full show notes, transcript, and to grab Kendall's free pricing guide, click here: www.themoneycoachschoolpodcast.com/105

She began her career with dreams of writing novels, moved into publishing and magazines, and then found herself on the cutting edge of digital marketing during the early days of Facebook and Foursquare. Her storytelling expertise eventually brought her to Casper, where she became a founding team member, built global campaigns, and helped turn a mattress startup into a cultural phenomenon. But it was her partnership with Carolyn Childers that sparked her biggest leap, co-founding Chief, now a billion-dollar company reshaping what leadership looks like for women at the VP and C-suite levels.In our conversation, Lindsay opened up about the pivotal moments that shaped her leadership path, from building credibility as a nontraditional founder, to navigating the challenges of co-founding a VC-backed company, to realizing when it was time to step into a board role to protect her own health and longevity. She emphasizes the importance of finding co-founders who share your values, the realities of burnout that often accompany leadership, and why flexibility, not perks, is the true key to retaining women in executive roles.What stands out most about Lindsay is her deep commitment to creating spaces where women leaders can both give and receive mentorship. Chief was built on the belief that even the most senior leaders need support, and Lindsay's story is a powerful reminder that community is not a luxury — it's a necessity. Listeners will walk away inspired by her candid reflections on career evolution, her practical wisdom on building and scaling companies, and her fierce advocacy for women at the top of their fields.This is an episode you won't want to miss!

“Don't try to figure it all out first. Say yes, then figure it out afterwards.” What if the dream tugging at your soul isn't random, but a calling waiting for you to give it form? And what if building a business isn't just about profit, but about expressing your gifts, creating freedom, and leaving a legacy far bigger than yourself? In this episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with visionary entrepreneur, CEO of Pinnacle Global Network, and bestselling author of Scale or Fail, Allison Maslan. Named one of Forbes' Top 10 Women Entrepreneurs to Watch, Alison has built 10 companies across wildly different industries, from homeopathy to scuba diving to software, proving that passion, when paired with vision and strategy, can become anything you choose. With wisdom and honesty, Alison reveals how to move from idea to manifestation, why most people get stuck in fear or overwhelm, and how to step into the role of visionary instead of being trapped in the weeds of your business. She shares powerful practices, from her “Revenue Brainstormer” process, to reframing money as energy, to the art of holding a vision so bold it feels impossible, and then reverse-engineering it into reality. This conversation is not just about scaling a business. It's about scaling your life, daring to think bigger, trust your intuition, and create structures that free you to live on purpose. If you've ever felt a dream inside but didn't know where to start, or if you're ready to take your business (and your confidence) to the next level, this episode will give you the clarity, courage, and practical tools to do it.

Why can you trust yourself to build a multimillion-dollar company—but not to have one hard conversation? In this episode, Kris pulls back the curtain on the anatomy of self-trust. From visionary ideas to money, health, relationships, and leadership, she reveals why so many women compartmentalize their confidence—rock solid in some domains, shaky in others. You'll hear how past experiences, identity “totems,” and cultural conditioning quietly erode our confidence, and why fear, vulnerability, and inherited stories often dictate where we doubt ourselves most. More importantly, Kris shows you how to begin repairing that trust—through awareness, reframing, and practice—so you can finally stop second-guessing and start standing fully in the leader you already are. Here's what we explore in this episode: The surprising gap between visionary trust and day-to-day confidence The different domains of self-trust—and where women most often stumble How identity, environment, and old narratives shape what you believe about yourself Why it feels safer to trust money or process than people or intuition Practical ways to build competence and leverage your strengths to close the gaps This episode calls you to stop treating self-trust like a mystery and start treating it like a skill. You don't have to be perfect—you just have to start believing yourself again. Contact Information and Recommended Resources Your journey starts with clarity.
