It's better to work fast, and having more means better, right? These are the values of most American businesses, but is that really what defines a good business or product? This week, Puno chats with April Garguilo, the founder of the amazingly successful company Vintner's Daughter, a luxury plant-based skincare brand. April takes us through her slow growth approach and how it has given her a quality product and impact.

Let's be honest, can a founder even achieve an impactful brand without a team behind them? This week, Puno chats with Trelawny Davis, who's making a name for herself as an iconic branding and marketing storyteller. She's letting us in on all the secrets for what it takes to make a brand thrive from a profit standpoint AND be impactful. Who wouldn't want the 411 on what it takes to be a top marketer from an expert? And Trelawny's LinkedIn page has her expertise written all over it. Working on campaigns for Disney, West Elm, Parachute, and most recently on Nike's global brand team, Trelawny walks us through how her time at these companies has pushed her to become the kind of marketer who influences culture. Girlboss has become synonymous with founders, but employees are so crucial in creating and executing the brand vision and reaching new audiences, so we're all here for Trelawny to break that mold.

Have you ever been frustrated with how the world works? Then when you try to change it, you realize how big the problem is. Some of us would be overwhelmed by this thought, unlike our superhero guest. This week, Puno chats with Emily Ackerman, an engineering grad student and disabilities rights advocate bringing awareness to accessibility.  Emily's viral tweet about a potentially life-threatening encounter with an autonomous delivery robot at the University of Pittsburgh, which was blocking a curb cut designed for people with disabilities like herself, is bringing attention to the issue.  This episode sheds light on how people overlook disabilities in the design process. Emily gives us helpful tips on how to combat this issue not just in design but in life. Emily also touches on this episode about her COVID research, academic journey, and being in STEM.  Emily's powerful message will have you asking yourself, how can I contribute to breaking down systematic and institutional barriers and have more inclusivity in my everyday life?

So, you have a genius idea for a new business: but how, exactly, are you going to pay for it all? We've talked a lot about bootstrapping this season on Girlboss Radio, but this week, Puno dives into the world of venture capital with Aishwarya Iyer, the founder and CEO of Brightland. How you fund your business affects how you build your business - and how long you have to make it happen.  Before anybody can give you any advice about what type of funding you should look into, you need to know the answers to these three questions: What are you building? How much is it going to cost? How much control do you want? Tune in for Aishwarya's unique perspective on venture capital after a decade in the industry.

Yup, we're going there. In this episode, Puno chats with Hari Nef, an actress, model, and writer who isn't a huge fan of the term “girl boss.” Puno and Hari discuss the rise of #Girlboss feminism in the wake of Trumpism and the Women's March back in 2017, and whether or not that ideology is still relevant today. Hari Nef was the the first openly transgender woman signed to IMG Models, starred in the Emmy-winning television series Transparent, and is currently working on writing her own television series, which you'll hear all about in this episode!  Tune in for a spicy episode: in the words of Hari, “I actually took a poll on my finsta, ‘should I go on the Girilboss podcast?' And the two options were ‘go on and be spicy' or ‘die cool.' And most people voted to go on and be spicy, so I'm here and I'm going to be spicy.” Thanks to our sponsors: Explore Vitruvi's all-natural, 100% pure essential oils and gorgeous diffusers at vitruvi.com/girlbossradio and use code GIRLBOSS20 to get 20% off your next purchase.

So, what does it take to open a small retail business? It's no easy feat. If you ask Kai Avant-DeLeon—the owner of Sincerely, Tommy, a Brooklyn-based concept store and coffee bar focused on emerging womenswear, lifestyle, and community—she'll tell you it takes trusting yourself and truly manifesting your vision. And when it comes to tips on hiring for your small business, it's all about finding people who share your vision put together a well-thought-out resume, and cover letter that shows they're truly invested in your company (and no, that doesn't mean simply DM-ing an Instagram profile). Kai says, “You also want to hire people who take themselves as seriously as you do.” She's also adamant that one of the most important things about being a business owner is prioritizing self-care with simple—yet extraordinarily effective—things, like carving out time for yourself, meditating, journaling, and escaping the hustle of the city, which are a true recipe for success.

This week on Girlboss Radio, Puno talks business and TikTok marketing with our guest Vanessa Acosta, the one-woman show behind sustainable, ethical clothing brand Wasi, whose designs are made with textiles personally sourced from South America and handmade from scratch in LA.  Acosta is a Bolivian-American businesswoman who quite literally does it all for her business: she's a graphic designer, fashion designer, photographer, and marketer. If that's not the definition of a solopreneur—and girl boss—we're not sure what is. In this episode, you'll hear about Acosta's journey of starting her own business after losing her job in fashion due to the pandemic, what it's really like running an ethical and sustainable clothing brand, and how TikTok for your small business can be a major tool for growth (she single-handedly tripled her sales in 2020, and attributes it to her TikTok marketing). Puno and Acosta talk about the challenges of becoming an entrepreneur as an immigrant, feeling like for their story to be worthwhile it has to be grand and inspirational, as well as living up to the standards set out by their parents. This episode is brimming with both inspiration and TikTok marketing tips and tricks.

This week on Girlboss Radio, Puno talks about fibroids and endometriosis with our guest Dr. Soyini Hawkins—a gynecologist and surgeon specializing in the minimally invasive surgical management of fibroids and endometriosis. She's also a women's health activist, empowering women to be better advocates for their own health. Did you know that around 80 percent of women suffer from fibroids or endometriosis? That means if you sat down in a room with 10 of your girlfriends, eight of them could have it. So why aren't we talking about it more openly and regularly? Dr. Hawkins is pioneering the conversation. She talks about everything from how she became a gynecologist and surgeon, being diagnosed herself with endometriosis and fibroids, having intense invasive surgery that put her out for eight weeks (then bounced back and gave birth to two children) and how her personal experience with the conditions inspired her to specialize in the field.

In June of 2015, the hashtag #LoveWins flooded social media in celebration of a landmark Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide. That evening, the White House lit up in rainbow colors to celebrate this critical step forward in our nation's long struggle for equality. And while the struggle is far from over, in that summer of 2015, it felt like anything was possible.  On today's episode of Girlboss Radio, we hear from someone else who broke barriers in the summer of 2015 when she became the first openly transgender person to serve as a White House staff member.  Raffi Freedman-Gurspan is one of those rare, truly courageous people—someone who comes from a long line of activists and who's been an advocate for equality since joining the high school cheerleading team.  She's paved paths for others to follow, and in this episode, we hear how her advocacy will continue to shape our future.
