S4. Ep. 295 FoundHer Files: How I Built a 7-Figure Business Without a Marketing Budget, with Lindsay Pinchuk, Host of Dear FoundHer...
In this episode, Lindsay Pinchuk pulls back the curtain on how she built her first company, Bump Club and Beyond, from a $500 personal investment into a 7-figure, nationally recognized brand — without a marketing budget, a big team, or going viral.
Lindsay shares the scrappy, strategic, and community-first approach that led to 3 million monthly impressions, six-figure brand partnerships, and eventually, a successful acquisition. If you're a woman over 40 starting or scaling a business and wondering if it's too late or too costly — this is your permission slip to build it your way.
Whether you're just starting out or looking to grow smarter, you'll walk away with real, actionable takeaways that don't require ad spend or hype — just intention, connection, and consistency.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why showing up as yourself is your best marketing strategy
How to build a community first — and let the revenue follow
Why value beats vitality (and how to deliver it consistently)
The power of trade partnerships and organic growth
How integrity builds trust — and trust builds long-term success
Why you don’t need a big audience or big budget to grow
The importance of email, feedback, and scrappy momentum
What most people get wrong when they focus only on revenue
