How Meghann Conter and The Dames are Rewriting the Rules of Success for Women Entrepreneurs

Video interview with Deb Boulanger of Life After Corporate
"I had this powerful vision of what The Dames was going to look like—an international organization where women were lifting each other out of poverty, out of patriarchy, and out of any self-imposed belief that we were anything less than the most amazing possibilities for ourselves.”
In this episode of Life After Corporate, Meghann Conter, our Dames founder, shares the story of that vision and the bold steps she took to bring it to life.
๐ Building a Business Accelerator That Actually Works
“I knew what wasn’t working…”
That’s how Meghann begins the conversation, with the unfiltered truth about traditional networking spaces: pitch fests, business card stabbings, and far too little value for women scaling serious businesses.
What followed was the inception of The Dames: a business accelerator rooted in strategic connection, level-matched education, and joy-fueled collaboration.
Meghann shares how she built a movement that now includes over 400 powerhouse women entrepreneurs and how it’s helping high-caliber women scale with integrity and ease.
๐ Key Insights on Scaling a Business with Strategy and Sisterhood
Whether you're growing toward multiple six figures or navigating the leap to seven, these insights offer powerful mindset and strategy shifts for women entrepreneurs:
- Mentorship matters at every level, especially when we’re walking the path together.
- When our education matches our business stage, growth feels a whole lot smoother.
- Unlearning societal conditioning gives us the freedom to build on our own terms.
- Big moves happen when we leave low-vibration pitch-fest environments behind and start building real relationships.
- Vulnerability builds community. When we share both the gaps and the gains, we remember that we were never meant to be alone at the top.
