Catherine Gray, host of the Invest In Her Podcast, interviews Beth Mazza and Victoria Sivrais, co-founders of Female Mavericks and co-authors of Entrepreneur Like a Mother. These longtime business partners built and sold successful consulting firms while raising nine children between them, proving that motherhood and entrepreneurship can thrive together. With extensive experience advising public-company executives and boards on investor relations and strategic communications, Beth and Victoria now share practical tools to help women build, scale, and sell businesses that support the lives they want.

In this episode, Beth and Victoria discuss building a profitable business from the beginning, understanding your market, and creating systems that allow your company to grow beyond you. They explain why delegation, fractional executives, and AI can help founders make more time for growth and family. The conversation also explores calculating your financial runway, balancing recurring revenue with expenses, and presenting investors with a clear financial story. Through Female Mavericks, their book, courses, and free Founders Files newsletter, they are working toward a goal of helping 10,000 women become seven-figure entrepreneurs.

Today on the Invest In Her Podcast, host Catherine Gray talks with Dr. Maheen Mausoof Adamson, founder and CEO of Soof Solutions. Dr. Adamson is a clinical professor of neurosurgery at Stanford School of Medicine, a research director for a national women veterans center, and a senior scientist at the VA Palo Alto Healthcare System. Originally from Pakistan, she is a neuroscientist, neuromodulation and neuroimaging expert whose work spans traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, depression, and pain. With more than 20 years of experience in research and healthcare leadership, she has authored over 100 publications and is a passionate mentor to emerging scientists, physicians, and entrepreneurs—particularly minority women.

In this episode, Dr. Adamson shares how her father's stroke and subsequent loss of speech inspired her to create Soof Solutions, a three-app communication platform that allows patients to express their needs through eye and head movements using familiar devices such as an iPad or iPhone. She and Catherine discuss how this accessible technology could improve communication and quality of life for people affected by stroke, aphasia, multiple sclerosis, developmental conditions, and other challenges that limit speech. Dr. Adamson also explores the connections among brain health, mental health, environment, and social support; her research involving veterans and emerging psychedelic therapies; the growing presence of women in neuroscience; and why experienced researchers need strong networks, commercialization knowledge, and investment to turn promising innovations into solutions that reach the people who need them.

Catherine Gray, host of the Invest In Her podcast, interviews Jeanne Wang, Founder and Managing Partner of Village Search Partners. Jeanne has more than 15 years of private equity investing experience and focuses on helping women acquire and grow established, profitable businesses. She also co-created the Women Searchers Community, a network where women pursuing business ownership can connect, share knowledge, and support one another.

Jeanne explains entrepreneurship through acquisition and why buying an existing business can offer a different path to ownership than starting from scratch. As more longtime owners prepare to retire, she sees an opportunity for women to carry those businesses forward. Jeanne and Catherine discuss what investors look for in an acquisition, how buyers bring together financing, and why the right mentors and board members matter after a deal closes. Jeanne also shares what motivates her work: helping women build wealth as owners and leaders while supporting the employees, families, and communities that depend on their businesses.
