Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff

While she might not define herself as a fitness enthusiast, Jen Cohen Bogan has an eye for the up and coming, and she knew the first time she rode an e-bike that there was something special there. The missing piece was, in her mind, a product that could marry function, value, quality and style. Not many people would want to ride a bike that wasn’t cute! Ever the outsider in her career pursuits, Jen parlayed her lack of experience into a fresh perspective, doing her own extensive research and funding in order to learn as much as possible while still maintaining control of what was to become her new company. She’s now the proud owner of Bluejay Bikes, one of the most popular brands available, pursuing what lights her fire and practicing what makes her happy on a daily basis. Thanks for listening!

Chriselle Lim was an influencer before influencing was a career to aspire to. Having fun with her own YouTube channel in college, she was one of the pioneers who recognized that content could mean more than ironic memes and charming cat videos. Early on, she was invited to Rebecca’s fashion shows before fashion had tapped into the influencer market. Their friendship has been going strong ever since. Never content focusing in just one area, Chriselle has gone through a digital metamorphosis through her use of various social media platforms over the years. She has also expanded her entrepreneurial side in the co-founding of bümo, a multidimensional service aimed at providing quality educational classes to children while simultaneously equipping parents with both remote support and a place to work and receive childcare in their new co-working space debuting this spring in Los Angeles. It sounds like a lot, and it is, but Chriselle has learned that the key to success is knowing what you’re good at, diving deep, and finding a great business partner who complements your talents!

When Minjae Ormes was passionately studying storytelling and film, she didn’t know she would eventually use those skills for another type of storytelling: business marketing in a digital world. The creativity and unorthodox approach she built because of this led her to the position of Global Head of Media at YouTube. Now as CMO at Visible, an innovative, all digital telecommunications brand. Forbes has even crowned her “World’s Most Influential CMO.” While it may sound like a dream resume, Minjae admits that it took a long time to figure out what she wanted to do with her life, especially as she realized she leaned towards the unconventional. Learning to embrace her uniqueness, Minjae now uses her platform to take a stand for Asian communities, for women, and for anyone who worries that their passion may diverge from the norm.

This episode is in partnership with SAP SuccessFactors. Barbara Mason, CHRO of Scotiabank, may be one of the most successful women in banking, but it was never her plan to go into finance. As a college graduate with a degree in urban geography, she started working with the bank in order to scout new locations for branches. It turns out she had a knack for the business, however, working in almost every aspect of the bank in her nearly 40 years there, leading her to be listed among Canada’s most powerful women. One of Barbara’s passion projects has been spearheading the Scotiabank Women Initiative, supporting women-owned businesses through access to capital, mentorship and education. By supporting women in their careers, and highlighting the need to make a shift in social stigma around the division of labor at home, Barbara is working to ensure more women can jumpstart their own business ventures and rise in the ranks of corporations worldwide. The Female Founder Collective is partnering with SAP on a program to help moms and dads parenting during the pandemic. The Back to Best for Parents resource page brings together special offers, resources, and content to support parents by helping them integrate work and life during the tough times of COVID-19.

Even as a child, Jamie Kern Lima loved listening to people share their stories. As a kid she would watch Oprah in the family living room, soaking up both the sincerity and contagious enthusiasm that was the hallmark of such an iconic show. It came as a surprise, then, when Jamie’s dream job as a news anchor didn’t turn out to be as fulfilling as she’d hoped. A sudden, tenacious battle with rosacea led Jamie to explore a countless number of makeup and skincare options, all to no avail. Inspiration struck when she decided to create her own line of cosmetics despite her lack of experience in the field. Following her intuition to leave the newsroom behind, Jamie experienced years of rejection as one investor after another turned her down. Sticking to her guns proved her point, however, as IT Cosmetics slowly grew, only to be acquired by L’Oreal in 2016 in their largest company purchase to date. Jamie is now the first female CEO in L’Oreal’s 100 years as a brand, and she’s passing her invaluable advice along in her new book, Believe It. In doing so, Jamie hopes to instill in readers hope and strength, to trust their intuition and inspire them to become the person they were born to be. Thanks for listening!
