ABOUT THIS EPISODE:

I’m so thrilled to welcome back my friend Stephanie Cartin, co-founder of Entreprenista, to the podcast! In this episode, we dive into what it really takes to build, grow, and sustain a thriving membership and community-driven business. Stephanie shares the incredible journey of how Entreprenista evolved from a podcast into a full-blown media company and powerhouse community supporting over 2,500 women founders across industries.

We talk candidly about the real work behind creating a long-term, mission-driven membership—why retention matters more than quick wins, how to build trust and value over time, and what you need to know before launching your own community. Stephanie also gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the unique business model that powers The Entreprenista League and how she's helping members scale their businesses, build lasting relationships, and access high-level opportunities.

Whether you're dreaming of launching a membership or simply craving more connection and collaboration in your business, this episode is packed with wisdom, encouragement, and actionable insights you won’t want to miss!

QUOTABLES:

“ I think a lot of times what people don't realize is that memberships are a long game. You know, they're not a quick win. And you really have to be excited and intentional about really understanding that and knowing that a lot of times you're not gonna see the compound effect of a membership until you're about two years to three years in.” - Julie Solomon

“ If you are already building a community or community-based business, or you are thinking about building a community as your business, you have to be someone who wants to be invested and involved in the community, and you have to genuinely care and like people, if that is not you don't do it.” - Stephanie Cartin
