The Bossbabe Podcast

We’re joined by Cindy Eckert, Founder and CEO of The Pink Ceiling, a business incubator and VC firm that invests in women-led and female-focused companies. A self-made serial entrepreneur, Cindy is one of the few women to have ever sold a company for a billion dollars, let alone two pharmaceutical companies. In fact, it was Cindy’s second venture, Sprout Pharmaceuticals, that brought Addyi aka “the female Viagra” to market. Having successfully built two billion-dollar companies, Cindy has such a wealth of knowledge and experience that we had to invite her back for part two which will air on Wednesday, 10/28. So tune in to part one as Cindy reveals the true story of how she built her own startup and sold it for over a billion dollars, only to buy it back and rebuild the company when she learned that her life-changing product for women was not going to market. We’re also diving deep into the narrative surrounding female sexuality and the challenges with research for female products, as well as, funding for comp

We’re welcoming back Anna Nassery, Founder and CEO of BrandUp, an LA-based creative agency and the geniuses behind our highly converting sales pages for our flagship programs, Insta Growth Accelerator and Online Launch School.  When it comes to building a highly converting sales page, we know how overwhelming the process can be but before you invest tons of money into creating a custom page that may not even convert, Anna is lifting the lid on how to structure and optimize a sales page. Tune in as she breaks it down step-by-step on how to outline a sales page to meet your ideal clients where they’re at on their customer journey. After this episode, you’ll understand how the buyer’s journey influences the layout of your sales page and what you need to do in order to optimize every piece of information for conversion. Get your pen and paper ready because we’re touching on psychology, branding, and even a bit of biohacking (because you know we’re all about optimizing both our business and health!). Shop our Laun

How do you define wealth and what does a wealthy life look like to you? We’re joined by Patrice Washington aka the “Money Maven.” She’s a financial expert, #1 best-selling author, speaker, and media personality. Patrice has also been featured on The Steve Harvey Show, The Dr. Oz Show, and in major publications like Cosmopolitan, Essence Magazine, and so much more.  What sets Patrice apart from other financial experts is her philosophy on wealth, which is more holistic, grounded, and spiritual, but it wasn’t always this way. Before she became the “Money Maven”, Patrice had already built a seven figure business and achieved massive success. Despite living what she considered her “dream life” back then, Patrice was anything but happy or fulfilled. In a divine turn of events, she was forced to redefine wealth after going bankrupt during the 2008 recession.  Patrice went from being a seven figure CEO to scraping for change. Tune in as she takes us on her amazing journey, sharing how she overcame one of her lowest

Have you ever experienced pain or discomfort while on your period and simply accepted it as a fact of life? What if we told you that you have ownership of what happens inside your body? We’re joined by Nicole Jardim, certified women’s health expert, author of Fix Your Period, and host of the Period Party Podcast, to teach you how to take ownership of your period and overall health.  Having suffered from debilitating pain caused by her period as a teenager, Nicole was put on birth control to help with her painful menstrual symptoms. However, birth control only served as a band aid and instead introduced a slew of new chronic health issues, including hair loss and melasma. Despite being informed that what she was experiencing was “normal”, Nicole decided to challenge everything she was told and started to claim ownership of her health. Since then, Nicole has been empowering women by helping them better understand their bodies, hormones, and period.   It’s time to normalize the fact that we, as women, know what’

Growing up, he was known as the “Boy With the Broken Brain” and ridiculed by his peers for being a slow learner. Fed up with his learning limitations after his second brain injury, Jim’s desperation became his inspiration. Since then, Jim has dedicated his life to helping others unleash their genius and brainpower to learn anything faster and live a life of greater power, productivity, and purpose.

When it comes to showing up on Instagram, which BossBabe co-founder do you resonate with most? Are you someone who’s comfortable on camera like Natalie, or do you prefer to be behind-the-scenes like Danielle? Either way, both Natalie and Danielle have cultivated their confidence over the years to show up on social media. Having used Instagram to build her first business, Natalie understood how vital it was to show up every day to deliver consistent value for her audience, which is why she appears so natural on social media today. She knew that BossBabe’s audience growth and influence wholly depended on her commitment to showing up daily - rain or shine.   Whilst Danielle didn’t initially have this urgency to be on social media, she overcame her post paralysis by learning to hone in on why it was important for her to show up. By identifying the root of her fears and focusing on her ‘why’, Danielle was also able to build her confidence on camera.  Both Natalie and Danielle didn’t start out as superstars on soci

We’re joined by Olivia Wollenberg, CEO and Founder of Livia’s Kitchen, a vegan food company that creates indulgent, plant-based snacks. In fact, Livia’s Kitchen revolutionized the sweet snacking market in the UK for being the first of its kind: a sweets brand dedicated to delivering on deliciousness as much as it is nutrition.  Before Livia’s Kitchen, Olivia was studying to become a neuroscientist and had already invested six years into her academic career. A sudden spark of entrepreneurial inspiration struck when she was diagnosed with food intolerances and was unable to find indulgent treats that weren’t packed with additives and preservatives. Olivia identified a gap in the market for indulgent treats with a nutritional twist. Having the drive and determination to be the first to fill this gap, Olivia embarked on her entrepreneurial journey to finding success by building her food empire.  The road to success wasn’t always sweet, but Olivia’s willingness to learn, openness to embracing criticism, and vulner

We’re back with another bonus episode with two amazing ladies that were in our Soul, Strategy + Success Mastermind, Olanikee Osi & Liv Conlon. Both women have achieved what many believe to be unattainable. Before they turned 30, Olanikee and Liv both scaled their businesses to 7-figures. Liv has a service-based business staging homes and Olanikee has two businesses, an app called SelfishBabe and a women’s holistic wellness company. Join us as we discuss their journeys as young female entrepreneurs and how they were able to make the seemingly impossible, possible. Spoiler alert - they credit their path to profitability all to hard work, committing to their goals, and most importantly, believing in themselves (which means that it’s possible for you too!).  We’ll also touch on the importance of self-education, pivoting with the market changes, investing in yourself, and recognizing that there are a million ways to make millions of dollars.  This episode will definitely inspire you with the self-belief that you c

Christina is an expert at all things marketing, strategy, and brand building. Prior to becoming an entrepreneur, Christina led Business Affairs and Content Strategy at Apple when it was first launching the iPhone and app store. Knowing that she always wanted to be her own boss someday, Christina took the leap to lead a startup called Flipboard, to gain the experience she needed for her own business.  She finally made the pivot from tech to beauty and wellness by co-founding the non-toxic beauty brand, True Botanicals, prior to launching Mab & Stoke. Tune in as we lift the lid on the major differences between corporate and startup environments, and everything you need to know before leaving your co

We’ve invited back brother-sister duo and Co-founders of Soul CBD, Mike and Angie Lee, to the podcast for another value-packed episode. The last time Mike and Angie were on the podcast, it was a pre-pandemic world. Fast forward to now, we’re living in a ‘new normal’, and for some anxiety is at an all-time high. Despite these uncertain times, Mike and Angie Lee have scaled their ecommerce business to 7-figures in just 12-months, but they’re doing so much more than that. Through Soul CBD, Mike and Angie are helping people thrive in mind, body, and soul by reducing stress and pain through CBD-formulated products. They are making an impact while making an income.  Tune in as we discuss how Mike and Angie scaled Soul CBD from $50,000 to a 7-figure business. Here’s a hint - it has nothing to do with fancy strategies, paid advertisement, or a magical funnel but rather, the importance of the customer journey, building a community, and starting before you’re ready.  We’re also touching on how to manage stress, anxiety

We’re joined by Heather Monahan, author of Confidence Creator (which held the #1 spot in Business Biographies on Amazon), motivational speaker, confidence coach, and overall business badass. Before she became the Confidence Queen, Heather struggled to assert her worth in the corporate world. Despite her reputation as a ‘Revenue Generator’ and track record of bringing in over 200 million dollars in revenue during her tenure, Heather was constantly bullied and underestimated by those who did not want her to shine.  Eventually, Heather was fired from her corporate career after 14 years but it turned out to be the best thing to happen to her. She quickly pivoted and went full force into writing her book, Confidence Creator, and building her personal brand. The rest is history and Heather is now the CEO of her life.    Tune in as we chat all things confidence, accountability, mindset, and empowerment. This
