In this new episode Steven sits down with serial entrepreneur Sophia Amouroso.
Sophia Amouroso is an American business woman and New York Times best-selling author of ‘#GIRLBOSS’ which later became a Netflix series of the same name.
Sophia founded the female fashion retailer, ‘Nasty Gal’ in 2006 when she was 22 years old. 6 years later, Nasty Gal was named the "Fastest Growing Retailer” in America. However, in 2016, the same year that Sophia was named by Forbes as one of the richest self-made women in the world, Nasty Gal filed for bankruptcy.
Since Nasty Gal’s bankruptcy Sophia has founded ‘Girlboss Media’, an online community providing mentoring and support for women worldwide. As well as ‘Business Class’, a comprehensive tutorial course that helps founders accelerate and scale their businesses.
In this conversation Sophia and Steven discuss topics, such as:
How Sophia’s rebellious nature helped her to create an original business
How she regards being an outsider as a superpower
Why as a CEO you only know 10% of what is happening in your company
Why Sophia would never want to be a CEO again
