About this episode

If you’re the type to put on the kettle, don your coziest socks and relax with some great home and food inspiration, then you’ve probably already heard of today’s guests. Amanda Hesser and Sara Fritsch, CEO of Food52 and president of Schoolhouse, respectively, are here to discuss their iconic brands that have recently joined forces in a homebody’s dream acquisition.

Sara and Amanda discuss bootstrapping versus venture capital, strategic methods for both buying and selling a company, and most importantly, personal and professional alignment. Their desire to create longevity is evident in their commitment to their companies, as well as their lives outside of work. As leaders and friends, Amanda and Sara share their passion for balance, beauty, integrity and the creation of modern heirlooms.

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