Miss EmpowHer: RSVP to Upcoming Events + Resources for Professionals, Founders, Investors, and Creatives (May 31st)

Early-stage founders: stop treating your email list like a "later" problem.

You're chasing followers on platforms you don't own. One algorithm change and your audience disappears overnight. Your email list is the only distribution channel that actually belongs to you.

A few things I wish more founders understood:

Email converts. Social builds awareness. Email drives action — purchases, signups, replies, real conversations with the humans who care about what you're building.

Your first 100 subscribers are worth more than 10,000 followers. They opted in. They want to hear from you. That's the warmest audience you'll ever have.

Compounding starts on day one. Every week you delay is a week of subscribers you're not getting, stories you're not telling, and trust you're not building.

I chose to start on beehiiv, and here's why:

If you've been "meaning to start a newsletter" for six months: just publish issue one this week. Future-you will thank present-you.

Use code EMPOWERHER30 for 30% off your first three months.

Thinking about getting a talent manager? 🎥✨

For many creators, talent management sounds like the next big step, but it comes with a lot more than just brand deals. This creator breaks down five things to consider before signing with a manager:

💰 Fee
👥 Roster
🚀 Strategy
📈 Earning Requirement
📄 Legal + Invoicing

One of the biggest takeaways? Talent management tends to make the most sense when you’re already generating consistent income and need support with negotiations, contracts, and long-term growth opportunities.

Karen Finerman, CEO & Co-Founder of Metropolitan Capital Advisors and CNBC contributor, recently shared some simple investing advice that feels especially relevant for first-time investors.

Her biggest point? Don’t wait for the “perfect” time to invest. Whether it’s a small ETF position or your first investment account, getting started early allows time and compounding to work in your favor.

She also encourages more women to get involved in investing and building long-term wealth, noting that taking control of your finances and starting early can make a meaningful difference over time.

She also reminds investors not to panic when markets dip. If the reason you bought an investment still holds true, short-term market swings alone aren’t always a reason to sell.
