The One and Only How She Went Global® Podcast: Hosted by Women Entrepreneurs Grow Global®


Never heard of the How She Went Global® podcast?  Well now is your chance to learn more.  

Every month Women Entrepreneurs Grow Global® (wegg®) features a successful woman entrepreneur and business owner who shares her stories about going global, and offers new ways to take on the world, stay inspired and have fun!  This month is no different.  But let's talk first about empowerment before we get to the podcast.

Sisterhood.  Celebrating each other.  Pushing boundaries.  Owning your power.  Being confident.  Inclusive.  Kind.  Positive.  These are all the qualities that makeup the wegg presenters, interviewees and fan base.

Lisa Sun (left), CEO and founder, GRAVITAS, fits right in on the latest How She Went Global podcast, episode #30, "Catalyzing Confidence for Women Through Fashion," dropped yesterday, 8/15/23:
In the interview, Lisa talks about:  
  • What it means to be on a mission to catalyze confidence.
  • How her clothes are made and sold.
  • What percentage of her business is international, and ...
  • Why she wrote the book "GRAVITAS: The 8 Strengths That Redefine Confidence."
Strong women like Lisa Sun have the power to shape the world (and she will!).  Tap into her confidence and experience taking a business global by listening to the podcast:  https://bit.ly/3YAhyWi.

What's affecting me, my clients, my colleagues and other global small business owners:

  • Michelle Hayward, founder and CEO of Chicago-based Certified B-Corporation Bluedog Design, wins Best Place to Work by Crain's Chicago Business 2022.  Second year in a row!
  • Why you should be on TikTok.  (wegg® is.)
  • The global economy, led by the Western world, looks pretty broken, does it not?  A lot is due to the war in Ukraine (shame on Russia).
  • Quote of the week: "Each employee has a voice. They have control, and we support them in their growth and we support each other. We foster a culture where there is a sense of belonging. From our research, belonging is why people choose to stay with a company. We just really believe that people are the No. 1 aspect." – Michelle Hayward, founder and CEO, Bluedog Design, #1 Best Place To Work winner 2021 and 2022
  • Maybe the US is in a recession but global small businesses forge on.
  • Omotola Akinbiyi, founder of Chicago-based bon femmes, discusses on the How She Went Global® podcast how she set up her ecommerce store, why she wanted to conduct business worldwide, and how she is making an impact with female creatives.
