Melanie Johnson & Jenn Foster, owners of Elite Online Publishing, interview Meghann Conter, the founder and chief laugh instigator of TheDames.co. A community for women business owners around the globe to help each other grow.

• How to be the most efficient at networking events.
• How one connection can change your whole career.
• How to overcome mindset limitations.

"We strategically match our members, with the potential power partners that they need to know in order to grow their business, to get the resources they need, and to really enjoy everything a lot more as they're going along." (5:30)

"In order to grow your business you need to have a really strong foundation of understanding what your mission, vision and values are." (14:06)

"The largest part of marketing has always been understanding your target audience. It's this intersection of knowing your target audience, surveying them, and finding out what platforms they spend their time on." (16:31)

Less than two percent of women-owned businesses in the United States ever hit $1M in revenue—a startling fact that prompted Dames Founder, Meghann Conter, to take serious action.

She knew that traditional networking and community building wouldn't be enough to solve this problem, and her experiences swapping battle stories with other female business leaders told her it was time for something new.

A community where women who have already reached that level could share their wisdom and be inspired to help other women get there too.

She envisioned a global network of like-minded collaborators who laugh often, hug when they feel like it, and reach new heights together.

Melanie Johnson & Jenn Foster, owners of Elite Online Publishing, interview Luisa Zhou about how to get your business to make SIX figures by building your audience.

When Luisa was growing up, she dreamed of being the CEO of a major corporation. The child of Chinese immigrant parents, she was taught that a steady job and paycheck were the ticket to the American Dream -- and Luisa bought in.

She wanted it all -- the power, the corner office, the big paycheck, and a closet full of Manolos. So she did the normal climb: and attended a prestigious university (Princeton) and majored in something safe (engineering) that would guarantee her a job out of college.

By the time Luisa was 25, she was the big kahuna of a team managing millions of dollars in business each year. From the outside, she was really "making it" -- and she had the six-figure salary, high-rise condo, and proud parents to prove it. But on the inside, she wasn't happy.

So Luisa went all in and started her own business teaching people the digital advertising skills she'd learned from previous jobs.

Today, Luisa teaches smart, successful people how to start their own six-figure plus business. She's helped hundreds of students make anywhere from 10K to 100K in just a few months. And she's been featured in numerous online and print publications including Forbes, Inc, Entrepreneur, and more.

Melanie Johnson & Jenn Foster, owners of Elite Online Publishing, interview DeAnna Lorraine about her book Taking Back America.

Ms. DeAnna Lorraine is a recent Republican, "anti-establishment" Congressional Candidate who just completed her widely watched run against political Goliath Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House, in California's 12th Congressional District (San Francisco). Although she ultimately lost her race to a radical Socialist, her battle was hard fought and won the hearts of Americans all across the nation with her guts, refreshing honesty, and bold, unconventional campaign strategies. Everyone loved her Pelosi for Prison campaign where she bravely had a plane fly a giant 80 by 25-foot "Pelosi for Prison" banner in Pelosi's very liberal district of San Francisco - and she intends to keep flying it throughout the year! DeAnna is also a popular YouTube Host, Conservative Political and Culture commentator, Author of 'Making Love Great Again!' and Host of her podcast and Internet show Taking Back America with DeAnna Lorraine.
