The Female Founders Network

Hi guys! Happy early St. Patricks Day! And speaking about getting lucky... today we're going to talk about having a baby while you're in the height of your career — whether you have a full-time job, work for yourself, or both! I'll share the top DOZEN tips that got my mid-thirties pregnancy and we'll get you in a good headspace to procreate while maintaining your productivity and boss status.

Hi guys! Today we have a very special guest. Reyna Marrufo is a self-taught Facebook ads expert, thought leader, speaker for the Latina community and a recent recruit on our team right here at Invoice2go. Although just swooped Reyna up out of the freelance market, she was a successful entrepreneur and business owner for five years. She has a wealth of knowledge to share on customer acquisition through Facebook, building a business without the classic University education formula, and the balance she thinks companies should strike between brand and growth marketing in order to successfully attract customers. We really enjoyed speaking with Reyna, as her incredible spirit, entrepreneurial drive and can-do mindset shines through at every moment. We hope you enjoy the episode.
