“Becoming a mother makes you realize you can do almost anything one-handed.” – Unknown.

A mother who is also an entrepreneur is a force to be reckoned with, and our guest today not only knows about that first-hand, she has also created a community where these amazing business women can grow and scale their companies. Jill Salzman is currently growing her third entrepreneurial venture, The Founding Moms, the #1 platform for mom entrepreneurs to build better businesses. 

In today’s episode we talk about the unique challenges moms face when they become entrepreneurs, from not knowing how or where to turn for support, being afraid of looking weak for seeking support, to the everyday challenges of not getting enough sleep! The conversation is serious but with a lot of laughter and the issues tackled with a playful spirit.
