Failure is Part of Success: Jennifer Ban...

Rebecca Minkoff
About this episode

Jennifer Bandier may not have known much about the fashion and fitness industries, but that didn’t stop her from starting the first boutiques to curate stylish athletic wear across a variety of desirable brands. Getting told “no” every step of the way did nothing to discourage her, and now BANDIER stores can be found in five major cities across the U.S.

Though it wasn’t the easy path, Jennifer always liked to do things her own way, and the resilience she cultivated as a result of that is evident in her willingness to take chances others deem too risky. Through it all, Jennifer has stayed open, curious and creative, and continues to support other women along the way.

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