Welcome back to She Means Millions! In this episode, we step into the real, raw, and sometimes hilarious world of building a business as a family. Today, we pull back the curtain on the ultimate “family business” experience, sharing the unscripted stories, lessons, and challenges we’ve navigated as we’ve grown eWomenNetwork together.

We get personal (and definitely a little vulnerable) as we answer our audience’s most requested question: “How do you work with your family?” From firing your own daughter during her internship days to evolving into a united leadership team, we talk about the dynamics that come with mixing family with business. We dive deep into authenticity, success, boundaries, and navigating moments where passion just isn’t there.

You’ll hear first-hand accounts from each of us about what it really looks like to find your stride, discover—and demand—your own passion, and transition from family roles to professional ones. We discuss how our individual strengths, work styles, and boundaries have contributed (sometimes chaotically!) to the growth of eWomenNetwork.

Key Topics and Takeaways

1. Authenticity in Family Business: Why being real and transparent matters when working with those you love, and how it helps build community.
2. Finding Your Passion and Purpose: Our stories about discovering what lights you up—whether that’s video editing, makeup artistry, or something else entirely!
3. Lessons from Early Career Missteps: How getting “fired” as an intern for lack of passion (and punctuality!) set the stage for future business wins.
4. Transferring Family Skills to Entrepreneurship: How growing up around business gives you a leg up—think email etiquette, follow-up, and professionalism.
5. Building Your Own Path: Insights into launching Makeup Artist Unleashed and Beauty Boss Network, plus the importance of bringing your own ideas to the table.
6. Boundaries and Communication: The methods we use to transition from “parent” to “boss,” and why compartmentalizing roles helps preserve respect and sanity.
7. Different Leadership Styles: How structured vs. creative approaches play out in meetings—and which we prefer as our careers evolve.
8. Respect, Transparency, and United Fronts: Why disagreement happens (and should!), but how important it is to resolve it privately and present a united front in public.
9. Top Tips for Couples and Families in Business: From defining sandboxes to honoring work-life boundaries and nurturing healthy, effective communication.

Welcome to the very first episode of She Means Millions! We’re thrilled to finally launch this long-anticipated podcast and share a behind-the-scenes look at how we built eWomenNetwork—now a global movement empowering women in business. Whether you’ve been part of our journey from the beginning or you’re just discovering us, this episode is filled with real, raw, and inspiring stories of risk, grit, and resilience.

We're Sandra Yancey, Briana Dai, and Kym Yancey: the Trifecta of eWomenNetwork, and today, we’re pulling back the curtain on our humble beginnings. We talk about what made us start eWomenNetwork 26 years ago and all the hurdles, sacrifices, and family moments that shaped us along the way. This episode is all about embracing the messy, amazing reality of entrepreneurship and what it truly takes to build a business from the ground up.

In our conversation, we share our individual and collective stories—from moving across the country with young kids, to struggling with corporate vs. entrepreneurial mindsets, to launching a business without outside funding. We get honest about the hard times (think Wonder Bread and bologna sandwiches), the lessons we learned while working together as a family, and the power decisions that set the stage for our global network. We even take you through funny family memories and big business pivots—including why our original company name had to change at the eleventh hour!

1. Our Personal Introductions & “Trifecta” Dynamic: Meet us and discover how our diverse backgrounds and relationships fueled the creation of eWomenNetwork.
2. Why & How We Started: The move from Dayton, Ohio to Dallas, entrepreneurial wake-up calls, and the moment we realized women needed a network built by and for them.
3. The Power of Community: How authentic connections, not just “networking,” became central to our vision—and why face-to-face meetings matter more than ever.
4. From Bootstrapping to Global Impact: We share candid stories about launching with our own savings, sacrifices we made as a family, and how we’ve grown to reach women worldwide.
5. Branding & Business Model Evolution: Lessons from nearly naming our company “Female Connect,” how feedback shaped our brand, and why we chose a licensing model over franchising.
6. Family & Business Dynamics: The ups, downs, and surprises of working with your spouse and child—plus, tips for navigating strong personalities and “growing pains.”
7. Legal & Financial Foundations: Why we sought out the right legal advice early, protected our intellectual property, and insisted on compensating our leaders fairly.
8. Adapting to Technology & Trends: From dial-up internet to the AI revolution, we discuss how we’ve used technology to build relationships—while never losing the human touch.
9. Sacrifice, Resilience, & Humility: Real moments when times were tough, why vulnerability matters, and how staying all-in made the biggest difference.
