Building Your Authentic Network Series
Mallory Contois didn’t set out to build a traditional network.
She built Old Girls Club as a space where women could show up more honestly; asking real questions, sharing what’s actually happening in their careers, and supporting one another in ways that go beyond surface-level connection.
It’s a Slack-based community, yes. But what’s emerged is something far more nuanced: a place where conversations range from career pivots and compensation to burnout, ambition, and everything in between.
As part of researching her recent Inc. Magazine article, “The New Rules of Networking,” Katie Schlott joined the Old Girls Club to experience it firsthand and quickly saw how different this kind of community feels from traditional networking spaces.
In this continued live virtual series, Katie will be joined by Mallory Contois, Founder of the Old Girls Club to go beyond what made it into the article.
What the un-polished conversation will focus on:
What actually makes a digital community feel real—not performative
Why spaces built for honesty (not optics) create stronger relationships
How OGC balances ambition, vulnerability, and support
What it takes to build communities that people integrate into their daily lives
