Description

Whitney Wolfe Herd is one of the biggest women in business. She founded Bumble in 2014, and became the youngest ever female CEO to take a company public when it IPO'd this year. So we decided to ask the best of the best for her tips on how to think about getting started. 

In this episode, Whitney shares: 

Why founders need to communicate (read: over-communicate) their vision for the company 

How she used “no’s” she got early on as motivation 

Her advice on how to hire (and potentially fire) friends and family 

How to market your company when you have no money

How to think about your personal finances when you’re starting your business

Now they’re bringing it back to one, and inviting powerful female leaders to sit down and chat about everything from celebrating career wins to the worst advice they've ever received. It’s an inside look at what it’s really like on the road to success. No BS, no sugarcoating.
