2 Exits, 1 Mission: How Building Investor Relations Companies Created Mavericks

Beth Mazza is the Co-founder of Female Mavericks, a platform helping ambitious moms launch and scale profitable businesses while raising families. A serial entrepreneur and seasoned marketing and communications strategist, she has founded and sold strategic advisory firms focused on investor relations, corporate communications, and executive messaging. Beth now mentors women founders, shares practical growth frameworks through The Founder Files, and is the co-author of Entrepreneur Like a Mother. In this episode… For women building service businesses, sustainable growth often comes down to making the right decisions about hiring, cash flow, funding, and long-term goals. For mothers, those choices also need to support the kind of life they want to build. So what does it take to grow a profitable business while staying aligned with those priorities? Marketing and communications strategist and two-time entrepreneur Beth Mazza has learned that sustainable growth starts with an execution plan, disciplined cash flow management, and a willingness to change course quickly when something isn't working. Her experience building and selling two advisory firms showed her the value of investing early in sales and employee development, maintaining clean financials, and developing relationships with potential buyers years before an exit. Beth also encourages women entrepreneurs to evaluate whether outside funding and aggressive growth expectations truly fit their goals as business owners and mothers. The strongest strategy is to build a profitable company around the life, financial freedom, and long-term outcome the founder wants. In this episode of Growth + Exit, Heather Bennett chats with Beth Mazza, Co-founder of Female Mavericks, about building, scaling, and exiting a business while raising a family. Beth talks about the importance of cash flow, how strategic hiring supports growth, and what founders should prepare before a sale. She also discusses private equity, business-model choices, and lessons from her book Entrepreneur Like a Mother.
