In this episode, Stephanie Cartin, co-founder of Entreprenista, shares the story behind building a thriving media company and membership community designed to support women founders and leaders. After successfully building and selling their social media agency, Socialfly, Stephanie and her co-founder created Entreprenista to help women access the tools, mentorship, and relationships needed to grow and scale their businesses. What started as a podcast to share entrepreneurial stories quickly evolved into the Entreprenista League, a dynamic membership community where women can connect, collaborate, and learn from each other.

Stephanie also opens up about the realities of entrepreneurship, from navigating new business models to investing in coaches and experts to fill knowledge gaps. She shares personal insights about building a company while raising a young daughter and managing a challenging pregnancy, emphasizing the importance of support systems and work-life integration. From launching a community during the pandemic to hosting large-scale gatherings like Entreprenista Founders Weekend, Stephanie highlights how connection, collaboration, and empowering women entrepreneurs remain at the core of the Entreprenista mission.
