Confidence Comes from Repetition: Arian ...

Rebecca Minkoff
About this episode

Arian Simone graces us with her insightful, creative spirit once again, diving deeper into the world of venture capital. The CEO and co-founder of Fearless Fund, Arian invests in businesses founded by women of color, a population egregiously overlooked by venture capitalists. If you find the world of investing a bit murky and overwhelming, Arian’s ability to break things down will surely help to clarify things.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur looking for cash flow or an investor hoping to sharpen your skills, Arian has you covered. She knows what makes a smart investment, and how to support businesses that need more time to grow first. Most importantly, she’s learned to leave fear behind when asking for what she needs, confident that, with practice, it’s a skill we can all learn to master.

To learn more about Arian and how she became the VC wiz she is today, listen to her previous episode here.

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