The podcast explores why this is the case. Both guests note that female entrepreneurs sometimes make themselves less visible and face barriers to sharing their stories.<\/p>\n<p>An important message from the podcast is that entrepreneurship doesn't have to be solitary. New opportunities and collaborations arise specifically through connection. Kenniswerf plays a role in this as a place where education, government, and entrepreneurs come together.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, it emerges that female entrepreneurship is often strongly linked to social impact and meaningful work. The episode ends with practical advice: take that first step, seek connection, and dare to be visible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n                                                                                            <\/div>\n                        <\/div>\n                    \n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>","protected":false},"featured_media":5079,"parent":0,"template":"","tags":[],"werken_category":[155],"class_list":["post-5076","werken","type-werken","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","werken_category-hotspot-voor-delta-innovatie"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitvlissingen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/werken\/5076","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitvlissingen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/werken"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitvlissingen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/werken"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitvlissingen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5079"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/visitvlissingen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5076"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitvlissingen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5076"},{"taxonomy":"werken_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/visitvlissingen.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/werken_category?post=5076"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
