Scale Your Sales w/ Jillian Murphy ep. 280 How to Build a Profitable Community w/ Coley Arnold
Welcome back, babes, to the Scale Your Sales Podcast! Today’s episode is an inspiring conversation with Coley Arnold, serial entrepreneur and founder of Foundress, a powerhouse community for female founders. From backyard vintage markets to a national movement of women supporting women, Coley shares how she built businesses by accident, discovered her passion for mentorship, and now empowers other entrepreneurs to grow without burnout. If you’re craving more connection, aligned scaling, and real talk on systems, motherhood, and mindset—this one’s for you.
Topics Covered:
- How a backyard vintage market turned into a thriving business
- Why Coley created Foundress and how it became a national community
- The power of building a business that supports your lifestyle—not drains it
- Why women need permission to scale—and how to step into it
- Real-life strategies for balancing entrepreneurship and motherhood
- Why virtual networking can be just as powerful (or more!) than in person
- The role of systems, boundaries, and values in sustainable business growth
- How to identify and overcome limiting beliefs that keep you stuck
- Why collaboration > competition in the female founder space
- What makes Foundress different—and how to get involved virtually or locally
“Honestly, the magic happens in the room, whether it's virtual or in person. If you're not showing up, you're never going to get to that place that you want to in your business. You cannot succeed if you're sitting there by yourself behind your computer. You have to have a community behind you.” – Coley
