Alexandra Buckley Voris and Maggie Jones Patton are the founders of the NY-based kids’ food company, Bitsy’s Brainfood. After many years of working in education and non-profit, they got to a point where they realized that they had to solve some of the problems that they kept seeing over and over. They decided to go into the business of making the world better for everybody! They wanted to create a food brand with
Position / Job title?: Managing Director/COO at Beauty by Dolly 1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? When I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to be a restaurateur and ultimately have my own business. I’ve always had an entrepreneurial mindset. 2. Fast-forward several years/decades. How did you land (or create) your current position? I didn’t land or create my position. I This week was AWESOME! I honestly didn’t even realize how awesome, until I sat down to write this post. Since last week’s edition, there has been so much progress! I was running around like a crazy person all week…between juggling Glamtrepreneur meetings, keeping up with my PR clients, and blogging/social media, it was definitely exhausting. However, I wouldn’t want it any other way. I met with 4 different organizations to see if they would be interested in teaming up to put on a pop-up business plan writing workshop this summer. And, holy crap, all of them said, “yes”!!!!!!
With bathing suit season right around the corner, I thought Hilary Genga, Founder of Trunkettes Swimwear, would be a timely fit for “3 Things”. The inspiration for Trunkettes? Hilary used to pair her husband’s swim trunks with her cute bikini tops. She was tired of waiting for women’s swimwear to catch up, so she decided to create her own line. The collection now consists of their staple feminine spin on traditional men’s swim trunks, tankinis, So this past weekend, I had the honor of going to Providence, RI to attend The Lady Project Summit. If you follow any of my social media channels, you probably saw that I had the best time ever. It was inspiring and motivating to be around a group of ladies with interesting jobs or side hustles. Everyone that I spoke to was trying to do something major with their life. In the past, I have always hated networking or conferences because small talk is awkward. However, at The Summit, I felt like we all kinda instantaneously became friends,
Full name?: Karena Simon Position / Job title?: Founder & Executive Director of Lillie B. Girls 1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A singer and I wanted to build “homeless shelter hotels” all over the world. 2. Fast-forward several years/decades. How did you land (or create) your current position? I researched and studied nonprofit business and entrepreneurship. I networked and utilized my writing Growing up, going to college, getting a job, and finding a way to support myself was never an option. It was a given. In 2006, when I left San Antonio (where I had lived my whole life) to go to school in Boston, all I knew was that I had to find something that I could do for the rest of my life. I didn’t have the slightest idea of what that would be exactly, but hey, that is what college is for right?! I knew a job was a job, but I wanted to find something that I could
OC-native, Michelle McCloskey is no different. With three successful businesses under her belt, she decided to start Run Around Betties, a company that puts a unique twist on personal assistants. Run Around Betties is the brainchild of this former overworked assistant and caters to multitasking moms and
It doesn’t matter what stage of life you’re in: everyone wants to be the best they can. When you see very successful business leaders, there can be a sort of “false aura” of unreachable success around them. If you can get beyond their paycheck, you will realize that the strategies they use can be applied by anyone. For example, when you look at the three founders of BlogHer, one of the largest publishing networks for
Not that long ago, I made a mistake that essentially turned out to be a publicists’ worst nightmare. I sent an e-mail in confidence to an editor, and it happened to have a careless typo in it. The e-mail (typo and all) was published very publicly accompanied by remarks about how no one should ever hire me again. At the time, I was mortified (I still sorta cringe when thinking about it) because |
