    #28. Whose Definition of Success is That Anyway? with Ankita Terrell & Emily McDonald of My Founder Circle

    If you want to learn to do something, learn from others who have done it.

    In this episode, Erin speaks with My Founder Circle's co-founders, Emily McDonald & Ankita Terrell on the mental blocks we create around money - whether we have it or don't, whether we raise it, invest it, spend it, save it, make it, or lose it. They share their own personal journeys in re-defining "success", strengthening their business through integrity, and breaking down the narratives of shame we create in our work.

    They share the basics of venture funding vs. angel investors & how to determine if you should be seeking funding for your business, how to re-write your version of success, and the questions to ask when you're not sure where to go next.

    #27. [Solo] How to ACTUALLY Support Women in Business

    What does it actually look like to support women in business? As a self-described "girls' girl", Erin loves a good ra-ra moment - she'll be your biggest cheerleader, no matter how big your dreams. But, does "yesss girl! You've got this!" actually move the needle in someone's business & career? If we believe a rising tide lifts all boats, how do we make the tide rise to begin with? 

    In this episode, Erin shares the most sound advice she's received from female executives who've walked the walk and talked the talk on exactly what supporting in business actually looks like and how we can help create measurable success for the women around us.  We're talking tactical, applicable things that YOU can do to better support the hustlers in your life.

Bright Spot in My Week!

Erin’s podcast is the bright spot in my week that I didn’t know I needed. Every episode is full of advice, tips, support, things I didn’t even know I needed to hear. Erin herself, and her guests each have different perspectives and unique value to add - every week brings something new. Thanks for Waiting should be required listening for any young professional navigating career and life changes, and I cannot recommend this podcast enough. Thank you, Erin, for this weekly slice of listening heaven!
