She reveals how she and her husband bootstrapped Maman with savings, sweat equity, and help from family, hand-painting walls and sourcing vintage décor themselves to bring their vision to life.

As the founder of Tiny Organics, which generated over $13 million in revenue in its first 24 months, and now managing partner of Velveteen Ventures, Betsy has built, scaled, and fundraised across multiple industries while breaking barriers as the first Native American woman to raise a Series A round. But her story doesn't stop there. Betsy opens up about the burnout that forced her to do the inner work, the mindset practices that rewired how she leads, and the Indigenous values of reciprocity and humility that have quietly shaped every business decision she's ever made. From pitching in front of the co-founder of Square to launching a nonprofit community for Native technologists and founders, she reveals what it really takes to stay in the ring — and why the founder who succeeds is often the one who simply refused to quit.

| 4/19/26 | Stephanie Cartin on How Hope and Community Created a Miracle | “I pushed for additional tests, I changed doctors when I felt unheard, and I insisted on rechecking all of my health conditions before proceeding with treatments. That persistence made all the difference in my journey.” In honor of National Infertility Awareness Week, Stephanie Cartin opens her heart and shares a story that is so much more than personal—it’s a testament to the power of resilience, hope, and community.

| 2/23/26 | Patty Arvielo, New American Funding: Building Generational Wealth Without Raising Capital | “…without people, your operation doesn't run. And when you're really good at that, the company then takes a life of its own.” In this powerful episode of the Entrepenista podcast, we sit down with Patty Arvielo, co-founder of New American Funding, one of the largest privately held mortgage companies in the U.S. and the nation’s biggest female-owned mortgage lender. But Patty didn’t grow up dreaming of building a billion-dollar business. She started cleaning houses at 12 years old to help support her family. From working entry-level jobs at 16 to navigating divorce, self-doubt, and imposter syndrome, Patty’s journey into entrepreneurship wasn’t fueled by confidence — it was fueled by responsibility, grit, and an unwavering desire to create security for the people she loves.

| 2/16/26 | Chantell Preston, Preston Partners, Redefining Success Beyond the Sale | “We built a team. We built a family.And that family really helped us grow that business to where we ended up.” On this episode of the Entreprenista podcast, we sit down with healthcare founder, investor, and serial entrepreneur Chantelle Preston for an unfiltered conversation about what success really looks like—and what it actually takes to build a business that lasts.

In this episode of The Entreprenista Podcast, Stephanie sits down with Andrea Johnston, founder of Fuel for Female Founders, and a seasoned agency owner.

| 1/26/26 | Tracy Litt, The School of Becoming: Why founders grow faster in the room | “The mind is the most untrustworthy part of your entire being. You can't afford to listen to your mind. In this moment, because it's trying to talk you out of something, I could expand you, that might feel a little unfamiliar. There could be a whole bunch of reasons, but none of those are aligned with who you're becoming and what you're creating.” In this powerful episode of the Entreprenista Podcast, we’re joined by transformation coach, speaker, and founder Tracy Litt for a conversation that goes far beyond business strategy. Together, we dive into what it really takes to sustain success as a founder—mental resilience, self-trust, alignment, and the relationships that carry you forward. Tracy shares why the mind is often the most untrustworthy part of our being, how to recognize when you’re building from pressure instead of alignment, and what it means to step into your next-level self before the results show up. We also unpack why in-person connection is irreplaceable, how collaboration has officially replaced competition, and why no founder is meant to build alone. You’ll also get an inside look at Entreprenista’s Founders Weekend Retreat—a wealth and wellness experience designed to support your mind, body, business, and soul. From powerhouse speakers and real-time integration to deep relationship building and nervous-system regulation, this is the room where expansion happens. What we talked about:Founder’s Weekend!

| 1/12/26 | Kass Lazerow, Shoveling $hit: The Founder Lessons She Had to Learn the Hard Way | “I want you to go buy a house or I want you to go, you know, pay off your student loans or your debt and to be tangible about what you're doing. And if you can't say it in an authentic way, I think that's where things kind of fall apart.”In this episode of the Entreprenista Podcast, we sit down with Kass Lazerow—serial founder, investor, and New York Times bestselling author of Shoveling $hit: A Love Story About the Entrepreneur’s Messy Path to Success. Kass shares the unfiltered reality of building companies from the ground up, from selling websites in the late ’90s when people were still asking “what’s the internet?” to building and scaling iconic businesses like Golf.com and Buddy Media, the latter reaching $50M in ARR in just three years. Kass takes us behind the scenes of the highs and devastating lows of entrepreneurship, including surviving the dot-com crash, going months without paying herself or her team, rebuilding after bankruptcy, and betting on radical transparency as her defining leadership principle. She dives deep into how and why she structured companies where everyone owned a piece of the pie, her unconventional approach to scaling (including why she sometimes laid people off after raising capital), and what most founders get wrong about incentives, focus, and growth.

| 12/8/25 | Demi Schweers, Iris: Building a Wellness Brand Rooted in Community | “If you're already going through health issues and hormonal changes, I don't want you to have to, you know, dip into savings to do this for yourself. I really wanted it to be accessible”What if your hardest battles became the blueprint for your greatest impact? For Demi Schweers, a former teacher turned Entreprenista, that’s exactly what happened. After being diagnosed with MS in 2020—followed by infertility, pregnancy loss, IVF, and a PCOS diagnosis—Demi began sharing her story online simply to find support. What she built instead was a global community of women who saw themselves in her vulnerability.That community became the catalyst for Iris, a women’s wellness brand redefining what it means to hydrate with intention. Rooted in empathy, science, and lived experience, Iris was born from Demi’s late-night symptom flares, early-morning product testing, and a deep desire to make hormonal and gut health more accessible. Co-founded with another female founder, Iris is a testament to what can happen when storytelling, purpose, and community collide.What we talked about:Early Jobs and Giving Back [2:58]The Diagnosis [5:41]The Partnership [12:06]Marketing for Iris [18:48]Trends on Social Media [23:29]Connect with Demi:Website Instagram TikTok YouTubeResources Mentioned: Klayvio EukaJoin our Entreprenista League community of women founders!
