2022/09/20

When Alice Milligan struck out on her own at the age of 19, she didn’t plan on a career in finance.

2022/09/13

When Moira Forbes decided to join the family business, she knew she’d have to work hard to prove herself. The only one of five sisters to join Forbes Media, Moira learned over time that her efforts were better spent pioneering new branches of the company than worrying about what other people thought of her. Moira started ForbesWomen in 2006 to highlight women in business, as well as generate inspiration and camaraderie among women working in what is still predominantly a world that favors men. To

Whether you’re a tech maven or you don’t know an NFT from 5G, Lisa Mayer’s story of Boss Beauties will leave you inspired. The NFT (non-fungible token) gallery that sells digital images of strong, independent women in bold, colorful shapes sold all its first 10,000 images in 90 minutes. While it’s certainly an emerging marketplace, Lisa saw the potential to utilize Web3 as a natural extension of her passion to mentor young women and girls by giving them access to opportunities that support their

If You’re Not Making Mistakes, You Can’t Grow: Nicole...

Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff ·

2022/08/30

Like so many women, Nicole Wegman was not a fan of the confusing, convoluted, expensive process of buying engagement rings. Couple that with the fact that the jewelry industry is largely insular and male-dominated, and Nicole was ready to start her own company just to make the process easier and more enjoyable. Luckily she was at the perfect age to help her friends navigate the ring-buying process, and Ring Concierge was born. Profitable from the start, Nicole had the foresight to grow slowly and

2022/08/09

This episode contains discussion of trauma, suicide and disordered eating. Raised within the confines of Haredi Judaism, Julia Haart was taught that the smaller you make yourself, the better you fulfill your role as a woman.

Luxury, Beauty, Sustainability: Amanda Hearst of...

Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff ·

2022/08/02

As talk of sustainability comes more and more to the forefront in the fashion industry, most companies are proud to highlight their environmental awareness. However, Amanda Hearst remembers a time when luxury brands kept sustainable practices hush-hush for fear it would undermine their place in high fashion. The industry has become more transparent, but there’s still a misconception that “sustainable” and “luxury” don’t go hand in hand. In founding Maison de Mode, Amanda sought to change all that

WTHN co-founders Michelle Larivee and Dr. Shari Auth had the same question: with the rise of wellness modalities worldwide, why had acupuncture remained on the fringes?

Warm cookies delivered straight to your door. Could there be a better business idea? Tiffany Chen’s boyfriend-turned business partner-turned husband didn’t think so.

Given time to grow at their own pace, Tiff’s Treats has gone from a single apartment kitchen to 76 retail locations and $100 million in revenue annually. That kind of growth

Decisiveness Matters: Maggie Winter of AYR

2022/07/05

When Maggie Winter started working at J. Crew straight out of college, she received the best workplace education she could get simply by where her desk happened to be. In the open-plan office, she was seated near the CEO, and overheard tidbits about everything from sales to real estate as he held his weekly meetings. This information would come in handy as Maggie was approached to start a project under Bonobos, which would then become its own independent brand. From that partnership AYR was born

After becoming wildly successful as a real estate broker in her early 20’s, Patrice Washington hit a low point. Not low like your car broke down and your SO dumped you, but a real rock bottom where her entire life was turned upside down for several years. And yet, despite losing nearly everything she held dear, Patrice’s faith in her ability to bounce back was unshaken. It wasn’t quick and it wasn’t easy, but Patrice knew that with her entrepreneurial background and her understanding of finances she

Re-think Your Bling: Louisa Serene Schneider of Rowan

2022/06/21

When you think of businesses that are recession-proof, a kids ear piercing chain might not come to mind. However, when Louisa Serene Schneider was working at a hedge fund for retailers, she was surprised to find that Claire’s, the ear-piercing wonderland, was valued at $3 billion. She was even more astounded to find that the people doing the buyout didn’t see this as a chance to reimagine the business, so she started her own. Rowan is the only ear-piercing chain (for the young and young at heart!)

Tali Magal knew she wanted to have a life that centered around three things: travel, creativity, and to be able to use her love of the Italian language. When her peers pointed out that fashion would be the obvious choice, Tali dove in headfirst. But the world of fashion was just the starting point; Tali found that what she really enjoyed was the creativity that went into planning photo shoots and ad campaigns. Rather than continuing to hire out these services, Tali decided to start her own. Freebird

Makeup isn’t just about accentuating your cheekbones or plumping up your lip color. For Melissa Butler, former Wall Street worker-turned-beauty-entrepreneur, makeup is more about confidence than anything else. Even so, it took time to build the self-esteem and inner belief that has helped take The Lip Bar, and now, Thread Beauty, from her kitchen to Target and Walmart across the country. Starting out experimenting with her own recipes in an industry where she didn’t have experience, Melissa was

Meg Epstein’s forte has always been her ability to dream big, and that’s a good thing considering that real estate development is a major undertaking. What started out as an interest in residential construction in her home state of California blew up as Meg started CA South, a real estate development and investment management firm based in Nashville, TN.

Like many businesses, Under Canvas began as a means to solve a pain point for its founder, Sarah Dusek. In this case it was the quest to find a compromise between her husband’s desire to rough it in the wilderness and Sarah’s preference for creature comforts. Entirely bootstrapped for the first eight years, Under Canvas’ elevated camping model surmounted obstacle after obstacle, and is now considered among the best resorts in the U.S. by Condé Nast Traveler. However, Sarah wasn’t ready to stop
