    What does it really take to build a legacy brand that lasts? In this amazing episode of She Believed She Could™ Podcast, Allison Walsh sits down with entrepreneur, mentor, and media founder Jen Szpigiel, the visionary behind Becoming Iconic and Iconic Magazine, a global media platform helping women-led brands be seen, heard, and remembered. Jen shares the raw and real story behind her 20-year entrepreneurial journey. From leaving her marketing career to raise her daughter and discovering entrepreneurship by accident, to mentoring thousands of women founders and helping generate more than $100 million in collective client revenue, her story is a powerful reminder that success rarely follows a straight line. The conversation dives into the unfiltered realities of entrepreneurship, including the “crunchy” growth phases most founders face, the moment Jen lost her entire social media platform overnight, and the leadership lessons she learned while rebuilding her brand from the ground up. Jen and Allison also discuss the importance of visibility with intention, why entrepreneurs must build businesses beyond social media platforms, and how women can stop chasing trends and start building legacy brands.
