Networking For Women In Finance: Hilary Lewis On Building What Didn't Exist

"The system of networking has generally been made by men for men." Hilary Lewis Welcome back to wo0 pod, the unapologetic space where women refuse to be told what to wear or how to run their businesses. Hosted by Wendy Gannon (aka wo0), this podcast is part of Female Five Million, a movement lifting the voices of women who are done with playing small. This week, Wendy sits down with Hillary Lewis, community builder, speaker, connector, former beauty entrepreneur turned finance rebel, to talk about what happens when you create the spaces you wish existed. From running a salon at 22, to launching spa days for women in finance, founding networking groups, and now stepping into her new role as Community Manager of Digital Accountants Club, Hillary’s story is about building something better, not just for herself—but for every woman who's ever felt out of place at a 7am breakfast club full of suits. IN THIS EPISODE * How Hillary went from running a beauty business to speaking at Accountex (twice!) * Why “I don’t know what I’m doing” can be a superpower when you say it out loud * Starting a business young, pivoting after kids, and never settling for the ‘default’ path * Why so many women still feel like outsiders in male-dominated industries * Creating events that actually work for women (hint: no 7am bacon butties required) * How the Corporate Ladies Club grew from 30 to 130+ members, raising thousands for charity * Making people feel seen, heard and welcomed—and why that’s more powerful than any business card ABOUT HILLARY LEWIS: Hillary is a community-builder, event strategist, and speaker who has spent the last two decades helping women connect, collaborate and be seen. With a background in beauty, marketing, and finance, she now works as Community Manager for Digital Accountants Club, where she’s creating inclusive spaces that prioritise connection, confidence, and visibility. She’s also a founding member of the Corporate Ladies Club, an ever-growing women’s networking group.

On Wednesdays, We Smash the Patriarchy! Unpacking Male Allyship With Jeremy Stockdale

"We know we've got to be assertive and tough and confident, but you don't want to be too assertive because it'll be called bossy. And you don't want to be too tough because then you'll be called a bitch." – Jeremy Stockdale Welcome back to wo0 pod, the unapologetic space where women refuse to be told what to wear or how to run their businesses. Hosted by Wendy Gannon (aka wo0), this podcast is part of Female Five Million—a movement designed to smash outdated norms, shift the narrative, and build a future where women own their space without apology. In this episode, Wendy sits down with Jeremy Stockdale, leadership expert and founder of YLead [https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-stockdale/], for a refreshingly honest conversation about male privilege, allyship, toxic masculinity, and what it actually takes for men to show up differently. This one’s for the men who want to do better, and the women who are tired of explaining why they should. IN THIS EPISODE: * Why “bossy” and “bitchy” are just code for powerful women * Why women are over-mentored but under-sponsored (and what’s the difference?) * How leadership and patriarchy are still rooted in outdated masculine norms * The importance of male allies who educate themselves and take action * How the patriarchy hurts men too  * What actually is ‘toxic masculinity’? * How Jeremy’s daughter (and her T-shirt) sparked a viral feminist LinkedIn movemen ABOUT JEREMY STOCKDALE: Jeremy is the founder of YLead, a leadership consultancy focused on inclusive, purpose-driven leadership. After decades in the corporate world, Jeremy had an awakening following the murder of Sarah Everard. He committed to educating himself on gender inequality—and now advocates fiercely for a workplace (and a world) where leadership doesn’t require losing your humanity. He’s also the man behind the viral “On Wednesdays, We Smash the Patriarchy” series on LinkedIn.
