Ever wonder how some women seem to effortlessly build thriving communities? This week, we sit down with Kristen Cantrell — founder of Hello Culture, a nationwide network for female entrepreneurs — to hear how she turned a local idea into a movement. Kristen shares her journey of pivoting through business challenges, franchising her brand, and leading with authenticity and grit. She opens up about the confidence it takes to build connections, the importance of showing up sincerely, and why every big thing starts small. If you’re craving real talk on entrepreneurship, resilience, and friendship, this conversation is a must-listen.

Today we cover:

• How Kristen franchised Hello Culture and grew a nationwide community
• The mindset shift that helped her navigate business pivots with confidence
• Lessons from real estate that shaped her approach to connection and leadership
• Tips for building authentic community — whether in business or personal life
• Why showing up sincerely (not transactionally) changes everything
