This candid conversation takes you through the past year's triumphs and challenges as they navigate downtown construction chaos, the bittersweet decision to close their beloved WOW Factor Collective event space, and the development of exciting new ventures. You'll meet Penny the Piggy Bank – their joyful inflatable mascot bringing approachable feminism to community events – and learn how she's transforming the conversation around women and money one ka-ching button press at a time.
The duo shares the incredible milestone of putting over one million dollars into women's wallets during their recent Galentine's Day event, which drew 900 attendees and showcased 90+ women-owned vendors. They reveal plans to expand their successful Woman-Owned Walking Tour across the river to New Albany, Indiana, while continuing development on their dream project: the WOW Factor TV show that will spotlight women entrepreneurs nationwide.
Beyond business strategies, Amanda and Adrienne discuss the deeper meaning of creating flexibility for women in business, from embracing hybrid work schedules for new moms to making their collaboration services accessible with options starting under $400. Their conversation perfectly embodies their mission – proving that supporting women-owned businesses isn't charity, but community-building that benefits everyone.
