Three 20-something entrepreneurs share their secrets to success - a podcast by girlgazepod

Welcome to Season 2 of Girl Gaze: Resilience Required! As we continue to navigate through these crazy times, I want to play a part in curing your Sunday Scaries with a panel of refreshingly relatable and inspirationally insightful girl gazers. You guys know that when I started Girl Gaze back in November, I invited those who I admired to come on. Now with this panel, I’m able to connect those I admire. And better yet, I can share our candid conversations with you!

 

Today, you’re meeting Dani Egna, the 27-year-old CEO and founder behind @Inked.ByDani who received a Forbes 30 Under 30 recognition. Ali Kriegsman, 28, is also part of the Forbes 30 Under 30 family. Not only is she the co-founder and COO of @Bulletin.co, but she also has a book called "How to Build a Goddamn Empire" on the way. Lastly, Julia Haber...my fellow Syracuse alum! Julia, 23, started @ourWAYV as a senior in college, but her entrepreneurial ventures don't stop there. On May 1, she's launching her second company, @HomeFromCollege_.

 

In the premiere episode of Season 2, we're talking all things entrepreneurship and building your own business. It's the perfect panel pairing you never knew you needed. See below for timestamps.

 

First, find out how these female founders have all pivoted their business strategies since quarantine started (8:05). 

 

Flashback five years to Dani starting her temporary tattoo company in her dorm room (14:45).

 

Learn how Julia took an idea and turned it into a reality as a senior in college (18:35). 

 

Ali discusses leaving a stable job to make her side hustle her main hustle (21:55).

 

Listen in on a very real conversation about the fear of failure and how to overcome the intense stress that comes with it (25:45).

 

These Girl Gazers tell us what it takes to pitch yourself and your brand to major partners and investors, and they share memories of how they remained confident when speaking to a room full of men (32:15). 

 

We close this meaningful conversation with one last piece of advice from each of the panelists on what it takes to successfully start your own company: Squashing potential dysmorphia, viewing “no” as an empowering gift and leading with passion (42:40).
