Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff

“Oh my god, that’s my purpose in life, is to change the way the world periods.” This was a lightbulb moment for Karla Welch, CEO & Co-Founder of The Period Company. Famously known for being a celebrity fashion stylist, Karla isn’t one who shies away from breaking the mold. As a social justice advocate, Karla has used her social media platform to raise awareness about social issues. Her brand x Karla also raises money for social causes through collaborations. So when her child got their first period at ten years old, Karla immediately rethought how we period. As a stylist and creator of her own line of t-shirts, Karla knew that she had to make period underwear. With that, The Period Company was born. The Period Company is dedicated to the quest of ending period poverty for all.  Thanks for listening!  Don't forget to order Rebecca's new book, Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success.

It’s not often that the word, “vulnerability”, is listed as a desired trait in a potential employee, but ⁠Jennifer DaSilva⁠, president of WPP creative agency ⁠Berlin Cameron⁠, thinks it makes for a much better workplace. “One of my firm beliefs is that you need to be shamelessly you, and whether you’re at work or at home or with dinner with your girlfriends, you should bring your full self to the table and allow yourself to be you.” That includes having room to make mistakes. Jennifer firmly believes that greater strides will be made when there is not a pressure for perfection, but an allowance to try, stumble, and grow.  Jennifer and Rebecca go way back. Theirs is a relationship based on mutual support and collaboration, another value upon which Jennifer places great importance. “We’re better together,” is a phrase they are both fond of.  In the business world these are radical notions – prioritizing collaboration over the limelight, vulnerability over stoicism. Jennifer is at the forefront of this movement, ushering in a new type of work environment, and even greater than that, a new definition of success.

Do you ever get that feeling that something is missing? For Ani Hadjinian, brand builder, thought leader, beauty enthusiast, and founder of Pure Heart Labs, that moment came when she realized she had been living her life on autopilot. As Ani approached 40, she began to have an epiphany. After over a decade of passionately pursuing her career in beauty and doing the things she thought she should be doing, Ani realized she had been living in her head. She had methodically pursued her professional life working for big-name brands such as Estée Lauder Companies, Bobby Brown Cosmetics, Ever Skincare, and Augustinus Bader. But something was still missing.  Ani immediately began doing the inner work and completely deconstructing her life, leading her on the long journey from head to heart.

Daniella Pierson is an inspiration, but the 25-year-old founder and CEO of one of the fastest growing media platforms did not always feel like the confident boss she is today. Possibly the next (better) Zuckerberg, Daniella founded ⁠The Newsette⁠ while still in college at Boston University. She’ll be the first to tell you that she didn’t necessarily love academics, and also that it took time and effort to cultivate the self-assuredness she radiates today. At BU, Daniella started listening to entrepreneurial podcasts like Superwomen (!) in order to create a daily email newsletter that recaps topics relevant to female professionals. She strives to make every edition a treat, with the purpose of “making women feel like they can kick ass every single day.” 7x-ing their revenue during Covid, Daniella is fast on track for her goal to build the world’s biggest female empowerment company. With the courage to fail a little bit every single day, she is learning from past mistakes and building confidence as a rare gem of a female founder in the male-dominated world of media.
