S2 Ep. 13 When Failure Leads to Opportunity & Marketing Strategies for Startups
We get super nerdy with fellow marketer and fractional CMO, Shauna Armitage. Shauna has a podcast called Startup Renegades and at the time of recording this episode had recently joined as a co-founder of a FinTech company named Odo. We chat a lot about specific marketing tactics that are needed to see high growth. We talk about sales funnels, recurring revenue, and how to think about increasing your customer’s lifetime value. We also dive into her personal story of how she became an entrepreneur after being fired from an agency. She talks about how being a working mom and professional there is never any true balance. In fact, she is dedicated to unbalance and we are here for it! Tune in to this super fun and marketing filled conversation you won’t want to miss.

S2 Ep. 12 Beyond your Products: Creating Brands with Connection
Listen in on a wonderful conversation we have with Suze Dowling who is an Aussie and the Co Founder and Chief Business Officer at Pattern Brands. We don’t want to spoil a lot for you all, but we are obsessed with their mission and business model! Suze has an incredible background, having co-founded a branding and marketing agency in New York City, where she and her co-founders particularly focused on disrupting the direct to consumer space. In that vein, we talk a lot about how to create a brand with connection. How does a founder who is selling a toothbrush, for example, create a brand story that will transcend the actual product? This is what branding is really about, connection. Suze also gives solid advice on the unpredictability of business. While it's important to create personal boundaries, and how as a recovering perfectionist, vulnerability has become her business superpower. We know you're going to learn a ton in this episode. So let's dive in!

S2 Ep. 11 Creating Pivotal Change for Women & the LGBTQIA+ Community
Mari and Jess chat with Lindsey Wilson, Senior Manager of Partnerships at Lean In. Yes, you read that right, the Lean In, the one created by Sheryl Sandberg. We knew Lindsey’s courageous life and various acts of bravery would not only be inspirational to our listeners, but we knew she could also provide specific insights into how she has leveraged her innate qualities, like being a dreamer, a doer, a curious minded go getter and to help bring marriage equality to the entire southeastern United States. This is one of the many things she's used her space and her voice for. In this episode, we hope you leave feeling really inspired. We also hope you can learn more about how you can use your own gifts with grit and determination, along with a big ol’ slice of humbleness, to create the change you want to see in the world. Many entrepreneurs start companies because they want something to improve or they want something to change. How do we listen across differences and get back to our why to really distill down the things that we care about the most, so that we can build lives that we really love? These are the things that we tackle in this episode, and we know that you're just going to absolutely love it.

We talk a lot about simply not knowing what you don't know and how being open and honest with your knowledge gaps are truly the best way to grow forward. We also get into how they surpassed their crowdfunding goal and some tactics that they use to successfully fund their campaign, which in turn solidify their product market fit and viability for their bag. We talk about being afraid to not share your idea so that others don't steal it out from underneath you, something we know many of our founders here at HB&C struggle with. Don't worry, if you're not a mom to a human child, but have a fur baby, this episode is for you too. Tune in and come along on our female founder double date!

S2 Ep. 2 Growing, Unlearning & Owning the “Messy Middle”
We chat with Alex Batdorf, a powerhouse in every aspect of the word. Across her career, Alex has created large-scale tech-forward products and companies focused on helping people step into their power, be their best selves and get shit done. Speaking of… her company Get Sh!t Done is a platform focused on centralizing and curating access to growth and scale resources for female entrepreneurs to have optionality and scale their companies successfully.
In this episode, we wanted to take the conversation back to how Alex became the Alex that we all know and love today. We talk a lot about optionality and how the blanketed template advice given to entrepreneurs is one of the worst things floating around on the internet today. We explore her background growing and scaling as a black woman and how she's working to provide the tools for other marginalized groups to break the systems that hold them down. Alex’s mission is to redefine the narrative of entrepreneurship by helping women mindfully scale companies that have impactful and intentional growth while giving them the power to do it on their own terms. If you know us here at HB&C, you know we are completely here for it! Tune in with us on this powerful conversation.
[4:47 - 10:12] Alex dives into how her entrepreneurship journey and passion for equity all started. She talked about her family and the emotional tools that helped get her to where she is today.
[11:04 - 15:17] In response to Alex’s story, Mari shares her thoughts about her own experience with privilege and identity. Alex highlights the importance of creating spaces to have conversations instead of blanketed advice.
[17:08 - 23:53] Alex gets into her younger years of success, one of which is being CEO of her first company at the age of 19. Alex gets vulnerable and shares her experience of being a hyper-achiever. She talks about a major turning point for her when she decided to resign from her former company and shift out of hyper-achievement and more into hyper-productivity. She shares how much therapy and the support of her family, especially her grandmother, have played a huge role in her path.
[24:28 - 33:00] Alex shines light on her unlearning and the critical points that impacted her as a leader. She tells us about an unexpected yet freeing point in her life that brought her to do the next best thing for herself which led to Get Sh!t Done.
[34:36- 42:29] We hear front and center about how Alex built her company, Get Sh!t Done. She also gets vulnerable about her anxiety and the years of work she put into moving forward on her journey. She brings up “microwave culture” a term she got from her grandmother and how our need for immediate satisfaction cripples our ability to last through the hard parts of entrepreneurship. Alex also dives into how she came to support women in moving through the revenue pipeline by focusing on traction.

The She Fails Forward Podcast, Produced by Her Brand & Co.
The She Fails Forward podcast amplifies the voices of female entrepreneurs on a global scale - showcasing the journey, trials, and tribulations along the way to building businesses that they love. Her Brand & Co. is on a mission to normalize and redefine failure by discussing the challenges that entrepreneurs face to bring their businesses to life. Through the She Fails Forward Podcast, we advocate for the process and amplify the journey you've taken you to get where you are, and we celebrate all of your lessons learned along the way. We profoundly believe that failing is the best way to move forward, and know that even the most successful business leaders are still figuring things out as they go.
