Martine Resnick believes that if you intentionally build your community and your network with high-quality connections, you can go so much farther, quicker, faster. And it’s also a lot more fun.
After 20 years in corporate working for The Cartoon Network and Bumble & Bumble, Martine and her partner Eileen opened The Lola, a welcoming, purpose-driven women’s co-working space and community in Atlanta. What’s even more impressive? They secured their first 300 members before ever opening their doors!
Martine walks us through her strategic strategies for raising money and making connections, the power of “Founder’s Circles”, how partnerships have been critical to their growth, and how they build community thoughtfully and organically.
