    Trailblazing Women in Business: Liz Kaelin, Penny Locaso, Laetitia Andrac & Danielle Lewis

    What really happens in the early days of building a business? In this energising panel episode, we bring together four powerhouse women — Liz Kaelin, Penny Locaso, Laetitia Andrac and Danielle Lewis — to share the honest, unfiltered truths behind starting (and restarting) a business from scratch. If you're a woman in the early stages of business — or even just toying with the idea — this conversation is like pulling up a chair with your own personal board of directors. Expect wisdom, humour, vulnerability, and a whole lot of practical advice you can use today. In this episode you’ll learn: ✨ Why your first idea probably won’t work — and why that’s completely normal. Hear how each founder navigated pivots, false starts, and unexpected turns, and why iteration is your greatest superpower. ✨ How to test your idea quickly, cheaply and confidently. From landing pages to coffee chats to “sell it before it’s built,” the panel shares real strategies they still use in their own businesses. ✨ How to build resilience through micro‑bravery and rejection therapy. Penny explains how embracing tiny daily discomforts builds the courage required for entrepreneurship — including the story behind standing on stage in her swimsuit. ✨ Why support systems matter more than strategy. Liz and Laetitia reveal how choosing the right people to speak to — and avoiding “vested‑interest advice” — can fundamentally change your decisions and direction. ✨ Why you are not a statistic. Laetitia offers a powerful reminder that your vision isn’t limited by funding stats, systemic barriers, or industry norms. ✨ How to stay motivated when the journey feels slow. From reflective progress practices to redefining consistency as persistence, the panel shares tools for staying the course. About our panelists Liz Kaelin — Commercialisation expert helping women build sustainable, profitable models by avoiding common financial mistakes. Penny Locaso — Global speaker, educator and activist transforming the visibility of diverse female experts. Founder of Hacking Happy.
