We love what we do, and we love helping people. Our aim is that this podcast is something that helps you on a daily basis. We want to be that voice telling you, “You can do it!”. So we have come together to give you more information on what we do and how this podcast can help you and your business.

Today’s episode is all about the inspiration behind Startups in Stilletos and how it differs from the Entreprenista podcast. We discuss why Jess was chosen as the co-host and explore some of the challenges of being an Entreprenista. Jess shares her background in media training and how she uses it to help entrepreneurs and business owners. We explain why reflection moments are an essential thing to do as an entrepreneur and how networking communities are vital for any startup. We also share how the Entreprenista League can help your business and how you can be a guest on the Startup in Stilletos podcast.
