"The system of networking has generally been made by men for men."

Hilary Lewis

Welcome back to wo0 pod, the unapologetic space where women refuse to be told what to wear or how to run their businesses. Hosted by Wendy Gannon (aka wo0), this podcast is part of Female Five Million, a movement lifting the voices of women who are done with playing small.

This week, Wendy sits down with Hillary Lewis, community builder, speaker, connector, former beauty entrepreneur turned finance rebel, to talk about what happens when you create the spaces you wish existed.

From running a salon at 22, to launching spa days for women in finance, founding networking groups, and now stepping into her new role as Community Manager of Digital Accountants Club, Hillary’s story is about building something better, not just for herself—but for every woman who's ever felt out of place at a 7am breakfast club full of suits.

In This Episode

  • How Hillary went from running a beauty business to speaking at Accountex (twice!)
  • Why “I don’t know what I’m doing” can be a superpower when you say it out loud
  • Starting a business young, pivoting after kids, and never settling for the ‘default’ path
  • Why so many women still feel like outsiders in male-dominated industries
  • Creating events that actually work for women (hint: no 7am bacon butties required)
  • How the Corporate Ladies Club grew from 30 to 130+ members, raising thousands for charity
  • Making people feel seen, heard and welcomed—and why that’s more powerful than any business card
