In this special live episode of Conejo Valley Visionaries, we sit down with an inspiring panel of women founders for an honest conversation about what it really takes to build something meaningful.

Recorded during our sold-out second annual Female Founders event at Hub 101 in Westlake Village, this conversation explores the realities of entrepreneurship—from turning an idea into momentum and building a brand with intention, to prioritizing self-care and leaning on community along the way.

Featuring insights from Gacia Laidrey Coffee Roasters, Dr. Rachael Cappuccino, Hilary Linderman of Rabbits & Oaks, Dr. Bieta Kia, and Lindsey Colhoun of Lindsay Colhoun Interior Design and Haven by LCD, this episode is filled with practical wisdom and inspiring perspective for founders, creatives, and anyone building what’s next.

If you’ve ever wondered what growth really looks like behind the scenes, this conversation is for you.
