Beth Mazza & Victoria Sivrais | Entrepreneur Like a Mother: 9 Kids, 2 Exits, & Roadmap They Made
What if you didn’t have to choose between being a great mom and building a great business? Beth Mazza and Victoria Sivrais — co-founders of Female Mavericks and authors of Entrepreneur Like a MOTHER — are living proof that you don’t. Together they’ve built and sold two services businesses, raised nine children across their combined entrepreneurial journeys, and built a 20,000-strong community of mompreneurs. In this episode they talk about the moment each of them took the leap, the power of a kitchen cabinet, why corporate America is not as safe as you think, and the practical roadmap in their book for getting from idea to scale without apologizing for being a mom while you do it. This one is for every woman who has been sitting on the sidelines waiting for permission to go.
