35. Lessons From a Founder Retreat: Why We Started This Podcast Mini-Series

After hosting a five-day retreat with the founders inside the Female Founders Accelerator, we realized something important.

So many powerful conversations had happened during the week that it felt like a missed opportunity not to share some of those insights more broadly.

In this first episode, we introduce the purpose behind the series and reflect on some of the key themes that emerged during the retreat. We talk about the importance of community for founders, the challenges of learning to promote your work without feeling salesy, and why having the right support system can dramatically accelerate business growth.

Over the next few episodes, we’ll dive deeper into some of the ideas and lessons that surfaced during the retreat—from personal branding and marketing to mindset and leadership.

If you’re a founder, entrepreneur, or professional building something of your own, this series is designed to give you a behind-the-scenes look at the conversations that happen when ambitious people come together to grow.

Listen to Episode 1 to hear how this series came together and why we decided to share these insights with you.
