    Communicating With Confidence

    For Amy Miller, entrepreneurship began with an unexpected turning point. The New Mexico-based president of AMM Communications Coach and AMM Consulting spent more than 25 years building expertise in public affairs, strategic communications and stakeholder engagement before being blindsided by a layoff. After jumping into another role that wasn’t the perfect fit, Amy decided to build a business of her own rooted in helping organizations communicate with clarity, confidence and purpose. In this episode, Amy shares the challenges of learning how to price her services and the fulfillment of working with values-aligned clients as well as doing pro bono work with young people. She also talks about the communications coaching framework she uses with clients and the common challenges they face when trying to connect with their audiences.

    What Story Is This Data Telling?

    For Monica Roca-Quesada, numbers aren’t something to fear. They’re pieces of a bigger picture waiting to come together. A Florida-based fractional CFO and financial operations strategist, Monica helps growth-focused entrepreneurs turn financial chaos into clarity by understanding the story behind the data. Surprisingly, one of her favorite ways to unwind is building Legos, and she sees a lot of similarities between constructing a Lego masterpiece and building a business: there’s a vision for what’s possible, but the real magic happens through the process, problem-solving and lessons learned. In this episode, Monica shares how women business owners can remove the fear around finances, start interpreting what their numbers are really saying and even discover that financial strategy can be empowering and fun.

    Raised in a Zoo, Built for Entrepreneurship

    For Kathy Rudkin, entrepreneurship has always been part of the wild adventure. The San Antonio, Texas-based founder and CEO of Rudkin Productions and Top 3 Finalist for Woman Business Owner of the Year grew up in a zoo in Oklahoma, where raising chimpanzees, tigers and even bringing baby jaguars to school sparked a fearless curiosity and creative spirit that would shape her future. Coming from a long line of entrepreneurs, Kathy launched her own marketing and advertising agency at just 24 years old and spent the next 34 years growing it into a thriving business while adapting through every industry shift, including the rapid move to digital marketing during COVID-19. In this episode, Kathy also shares the deeply personal story behind her nonprofit, Aid the Silent, created after her daughter became deaf at age 3, and how it now helps provide hearing aids and resources to deaf children.

    Could the SAVE Act Create Voting Barriers? Election Integrity vs Access

    For women business owners, the ability to vote is a business imperative. In this episode of NAWBO On the Go, we’re joined by Thresette Briggs, NAWBO National Advocacy Chair, for a clear breakdown of the SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Act) and why NAWBO is paying close attention to its potential impact on women, especially women business owners who have experienced name changes due to marriage, divorce, or other life events. Thresette explains: What the SAVE Act is and what it would require for federal voter registration and votingWhy NAWBO supports election integrity and free, fair elections while raising concerns about added documentation burdensWhat forms of proof could be required (and why common IDs like standard driver’s licenses may not qualify in many states)The potential unintended consequences, including time, complexity, and access issues for eligible votersWhy fewer voices at the polls can shape the policies that directly affect women-owned businesses To read NAWBO and WIPP’s joint statement on the SAVE Act: https://nawbo.org/blog/womens-business-groups-thank-leader-thune-for-removing-save-america-act-from-pending-business Learn more about NAWBO: https://www.nawbo.org Learn more about NAWBO Advocacy: https://nawbo.org/advocacy

    Potential Is Everywhere, Opportunity Is Not

    Lindsey Paulsen, Vice President of Digital Innovation at Opportunity International, is working at the intersection of technology, funding and purpose to expand access to opportunities for women entrepreneurs around the world. In this episode, she shares how her organization is investing in women living in extreme poverty, supporting small businesses, and what those efforts reveal about the universal drive women share, no matter where they live. From wanting to provide for their families to creating better futures for their children, the goals are the same, but the barriers are not. Lindsey also reflects on a powerful truth: potential is equally distributed, but opportunity is not. She explores what it takes to close that gap and how we can all think differently about access, equity and impact. To learn more about Opportunity International, visit: www.opportunity.org
