Advice Line with Jenn Hyman of Rent The ...

Guy Raz | Wondery
About this episode

Rent the Runway co-founder and CEO Jenn Hyman joins Guy on the Advice Line to answer questions from three early-stage entrepreneurs. Plus, Jenn’s take on how letting go of ego helps business leaders stay in the game. 

First, we meet Sara near Cape Cod, who’s wondering how much her customers actually value local artisans making her apparel. Then Carrie from New York, who’s trying to unlock seven-figure revenue to attract investors to her active haircare brand. And finally, fellow New Yorker Chabella talks with Jenn about raising capital for her sustainable fashion brand.

Thank you to the founders of Easkey Right, Swair Hair, and Chabella for being a part of our show.

And be sure to listen to Jenn tell the story of how Rent the Runway was founded during her first visit to the show back in 2017.
