Description
If starting a business was easy, everyone would do it. But what exactly makes it so hard, especially for woman-identifying folks? This week we’re talking about barriers to building your own business and the real-life hurdles and systemic barriers that might be standing in your way (because, spoiler alert, you cannot girlboss yourself out of the fact that a wage gap exists and only 2% of VC funds go to women).
Tune in to this episode to hear our hot takes on:
What we thought we’d struggle with vs. what we actually struggled with after quitting our corporate jobs to start our own businesses
Why we need to take a closer look at imposter syndrome and rethink what it means and where it’s coming from
What happens to your bottom line as a brand strategist when you take your own business advice
The ongoing challenges of solopreneurship and how we’re working through them
Articles and sources we mention in the show:
Stop Telling Women They Have Impostor Syndrome
For Female Founders, Fundraising Only from Female VCs Comes at a Cost
The Enduring Grip of the Gender Pay Gap
Inclusive Capitalism Examines Gender Pay Disparities In The Gig Economy
