Always Think Big: Marianna Hewitt of Sum...

Rebecca Minkoff
About this episode

Ever since she spent afternoons watching TRL and Oprah, Marianna Hewitt knew she wanted to be in entertainment. After various stints studying broadcast journalism, public relations, and hosting, a mix of timing and skill poised Marianna to become one of the first big influencers, first on YouTube and then through Instagram.

Marianna’s understanding of PR and presenting helped her transform from influencer to full-fledged entrepreneur. Her background and sharp wit ensured she had the boss babe skills to build a business with longevity. Summer Fridays, her cruelty-free skincare line, is evidence of that. Now in its fifth year, Summer Fridays continues to grow and expand with each successful new product launch. The best part? Marianna loves creating products that help her customers feel confident and beautiful.

Thanks for listening!  Don't forget to order Rebecca's new book, Fearless: The New Rules for Unlocking Creativity, Courage, and Success.
