Strong as F**k: Unveiling the Secrets of...

Rebecca Minkoff
About this episode

Enjoy this video podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

In 2018, Rebecca Minkoff started the Superwomen podcast to give successful women a platform to tell their stories and share all the gritty details of what it took to become the women they are today. After interviewing hundreds of incredible women, the tables have turned. In this exclusive episode, former guest Jamie O’Banion, founder of BeautyBio, sits down to interview our very own superwoman, Rebecca Minkoff.

Starting in September, Rebecca will launch a year-long 20th anniversary celebration of Rebecca Minkoff, her name-sake brand. Rebecca might seem like she's got it all, a mom, a designer, podcaster, author, and founder, but peeling back the layers, it took a lot of work and sacrifice to get to where she is today. Having the courage to be uncomfortable contributed to Rebecca’s success, and now, she is empowering more women to start businesses through the Female Founder Collective. Over the years, Rebecca has learned that the most successful women are strong as f**k!


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