If you’ve ever turned on QVC or HSN, you’ve probably seen Joy Mangano or one of her many inventions, like the Miracle Mop. Or you may have seen Jennifer Lawrence portray her in the 2015 hit movie, “Joy.” But Joy’s wild success started with a simple idea—and a big risk. On this episode of She Pivots, Joy talks with Emily about her early invention ideas (a fluorescent flea collar for pets!), getting Miracle Mop off the ground as a single mom with three young kids, the decision to sell her company to HSN, her new partnership with Pitbull, and the central role of family in her business decisions.
She Pivots was created by host Emily Tisch Sussman to highlight women, their stories, and how their pivot became their success. To learn more about Joy, follow us on Instagram @ShePivotsThePodcast or visit shepivotsthepodcast.com.
