Description

When Daniella Pierson, at 23, pitched her newsletter The Newsette for VC funding she was "laughed out of the room." Cut to the present: she still owns nearly 100% of the company— which, by the way, is currently valued at over $200 million. Daniella joins Nicole to talk about how she scaled her company, her gutsy pitch to Diane von Fürstenberg and lessons from sales "survival mode." Net-net, remember: the next time you're disappointed with an outcome at work, hang in there: that disappointment might just turn into nine figures.
