In this episode of Founders Future, with host Ammar Elm, we meet Erika Radis, the powerhouse behind Working Moms of San Antonio (WMSA)—a thriving membership community that’s grown from a humble Facebook group to 7,000+ members since 2019. Erika shares how her dual role as a real estate agent and mom of three inspired her to create a space where career-driven mothers could network authentically (kids in tow!) through 6–8 monthly events, workshops, and a mom-owned business directory. She reveals the unexpected demand that turned her side project into a movement, complete with a physical studio space and podcast, while staying laser-focused on San Antonio’s vibrant market.

Erika breaks down her $55/month membership model, the power of testimonials in Meta ads, and why email lists trump social media for long-term growth. She also opens up about balancing WMSA with her other ventures (including female-focused podcast studios) and her vision for scaling through delegation—hinting that her next frontier might involve systems and AI tools like ChatGPT. For aspiring community builders, her advice is golden: "Start small, validate the need, and remember—10 people on an email list is still momentum."
