“The people who are on your show, they're part of your network. I have 128 women who I never would have ever thought that I would have even talked to and now I do feel like I can email them and say, ‘Hey, could you share this or could you help me?’. It really has helped with my network as well, and it's created an amazing foundation for my business,” shares Lindsay Pinchuk, entrepreneur, small business advocate, and host of the Dear FoundHer podcast. Lindsay created her podcast as a way to showcase women business owners and their amazing accomplishments. The show ended up growing into an active community and an invaluable support network for Lindsay’s business.
