The ability to network and build a community are vital for female founders and leaders now more than ever. These connections offer a platform to share experiences, exchange knowledge, and gain mentorship, helping women navigate challenges like securing funding or breaking into male-dominated industries.

 

In this episode, I dive deep into this conversation with my guest and expert on building community, Penny Goffman. Among so many other things, Penny is an innovative entrepreneur, speaker, stylist, writer, and devoted mama, known for her ability to connect and empower women. In her recent role as Head of Community at HeyMama, she supported working mothers by fostering relationships across the country through engaging events and curated connections, enabling them to grow both their networks and net worth.

• How to get a true ROI from your investment of time, energy and money
•  How bold actions can lead to unexpected opportunities, and why no one is off limits
