Episode Details

Beth Mazza and Victoria Sivrais are serial entrepreneurs, business partners, and the co-founders of Female Mavericks. Together, they have built and exited two successful professional services firms that advised S&P 500 leaders through high-stakes decisions. Now, as mothers of nine collectively, they're using everything they've learned to help more women build and scale seven-figure businesses. In this episode, they share how their partnership began, how they identified opportunities in underserved markets, why mentorship and proximity to smart people matter, and how they're now helping entrepreneurs build successful businesses without sacrificing the lives they want to live.

On this episode we talk about:

• How Beth and Victoria went from corporate careers to building and exiting successful professional services firms

• Why identifying gaps in an established market can create opportunities for new businesses

• The importance of learning from mentors and spending time around people who have the results you want

• How Beth and Victoria built a highly complementary business partnership based on different skill sets, shared values, and mutual trust

• Why they're now focused on helping 10,000 women build seven-figure businesses while balancing entrepreneurship and family

Top 3 Takeaways

1. Prioritize learning over earning early in your career. Find the smartest person you can, get close to them, and absorb how they think, communicate, make decisions, and operate—not just what they know.

2. Look for opportunities where others aren't willing to compete. Beth identified an underserved market, offered a better-priced service, and challenged CEOs' thinking to win clients despite competing against much larger firms.

3. Choose business partners based on complementary strengths and shared values. Beth and Victoria's partnership worked because one naturally leaned toward strategy and vision while the other excelled at execution, while both shared the same ambition, purpose, and commitment to supporting each other.
