Female entrepreneurship is booming in the United States, with women starting about 850 new businesses every day. In fact, since the late 90’s the number of women-owned firms has increased 114%. Two weeks ago we released a list of 9 podcasts that every small business owner should listen to, however, we feel that it’s important to acknowledge that being a female business owner comes with its own challenges. For this reason, we created a list of our 5 favourite podcasts made by strong, insightful, and successful women. Enjoy!
