Over her 24-year career in healthcare, Cindy has built and sold two companies for over $1.5 billion, including Sprout Pharmaceuticals, which introduced the first FDA-approved drug for low sexual desire in women, often called "female Viagra." After selling Sprout for $1 billion, she fought to reclaim the drug and relaunched it on her own terms. Cindy's work, widely featured in major media, focuses on creating mission-driven companies with a profound impact, and she is committed to helping others achieve success.What is ADDYI? ADDYI is for premenopausal women with acquired, generalized hypoactive (low) sexual desire disorder who have not had problems with low sexual desire in the past, and who have low sexual desire no matter the type of sexual activity, the situation or the sexual partner. The low sexual desire is troubling to them and is not due to a medical or mental health problem, problems in the relationship or medicine or other drug use. ADDYI is not for use in men or to enhance sexual performance.Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is increased if you drink 1-2 standard alcoholic drinks close in time to your ADDYI dose. Wait at least 2 hours after drinking before taking ADDYI at bedtime. Your risk of severe low blood pressure and fainting is also increased if you take certain prescription, over the counter or herbal medications, or have liver problems. Low blood pressure and fainting can happen when you take ADDYI even if you don't drink alcohol or take other medicines. Do not take if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in ADDYI. Allergic reactions may include hives, itching or trouble breathing. Sleepiness, sometimes serious, can occur. Common side effects include dizziness, nausea, tiredness, difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep and dry mouth.

Cindy Eckert is a highly regarded entrepreneur, a strong advocate for female entrepreneurship, a pharmaceutical leader and one of the few women to have ever sold a company for a billion dollars. The New York Times called her pharmaceutical product the “drug of a generation” and Fortune called her a “tireless force of nature.” Associates of hers call her unapologetically pink.Over a distinguished 24-year career in healthcare, she started and sold two businesses for more than $1.5 billion. Having co-founded and sold Slate Pharmaceuticals, which redefined long lasting testosterone treatment for men, she launched Sprout Pharmaceuticals immediately thereafter. As Co-Founder & CEO of Sprout, the company broke through with the first ever FDA-approved drug for low sexual desire in women named Addyi — dubbed “female Viagra” by the media. In 2015, Cindy sold the company to Valeant Pharmaceuticals for $1b cash. Everyone that was a part of the original Slate team was gifted shares in Sprout.Shortly after the sale, Valeant became the subject of media scrutiny for the rampant price inflation of their drugs and an SEC investigation related to accounting practices. Not one to sit idly by, Cindy negotiated to reacquire Addyi at no cost, in order to properly launch it into marketplace on her own terms. Not only did she reacquire the drug, she also secured a $25m loan from Valeant to fund initial operating expenses.Today, Cindy is focused on mentoring, investing in, launching and building other women-led or focused businesses. In 2016, she opened the doors to The Pink Ceiling — a cross between a VC firm, a ‘pinkubator,' and a consulting enterprise — where she is CEO. At The Pink Ceiling, she has personally invested $15m across 10 different health tech companies at various stages of development.Cindy's work has been featured in countless major publications including The New York Times, Fast Company, Financial Times, Vanity Fair, Bloomberg, CNBC, CBS, Fox, Yahoo and on the cover feature of Entrepreneur Magazine. Cindy has been an invited speaker at Fortune's Most Powerful Women, the Fast Company Innovation Festival, Ad Week, Inc. Magazine, and many more. She is on a mission to speak to as many women as possible about what it takes to achieve breakthrough business success. It's no surprise that JJ Ramberg, the host of MSNBC's Your Business says that “Cindy is one of our favorite guests. Though she has reached a level of success as a founder that most can only dream of, she is incredibly relatable and honest about what it takes to run a business. She offers the perfect combination of inspiration and advice and it's hard to come away from listening to Cindy speak without wanting to hear more.”https://thepinkceiling.com/ Podcast Link: https://link.chtbl.com/FemTechFocusSocial HandlesLinkedin: @FemTech Focus @Brittany BarretoTwitter: @Femtech_Focus @DrBrittBInstagram: @FemTechFocus @DrBrittanyBarretoFacebook: @FemTech Focus @Dr. Brittany BarretoFemTech Focus Bio:FemTech Focus is a 501c3 non-profit organization founded to bring awareness externally and internally for the FemTech industry and to empower the key stakeholders including entrepreneurs, investors, physicians, governments, and biopharma with resources and research to elevate women's health and wellness globally.

She founded Sprout Pharmaceuticals and helped design the first drug approved to enhance female libido. Surprisingly (or not), it was a massive success. We talk about why she entered the sexual health industry and what she's doing to even the playing field for female entrepreneurs.

Show Notes: Cindy Eckert is going to make you rich. She's sold two businesses for more than $1.5 billion, so she knows a thing or two about building things from the ground up and making money in the process. Now, with her work in The Pinkubator, she helps women break barriers by investing in women founders to level the playing field and shatter the glass ceiling for good. We cover everything from building a billion dollar business to women's sexual health (and everything in between). You're going to want to hear this conversation. Question Highlights: How did your entrepreneurial journey get started? How did you get interested in women's pleasure? What were the belief systems you had to break and unlearn to become the woman you are today? What are some of the bad habits you've had to break along the way? What skills do women need to build to be successful in business? Guest Bio: A self-made serial entrepreneur and vocal advocate for women, Cindy defies convention in her industry, in her companies, in her outcomes. Her work today, in The Pinkubator, continues to break barriers by investing in and mentoring other women to get to her same outcomes. She's on a mission to make women really rich. You cannot miss Cindy. Everything she touches turns to PINK! Over a distinguished 25-year career in healthcare, in only the last ten years, she has built and sold two businesses for more than $1.5B. First Slate Pharmaceuticals (which redefined long acting testosterone treatment for men), then Sprout Pharmaceuticals (which broke through with the first ever FDA-approved drug for low sexual desire in women – dubbed “female Viagra” by the media). After selling the company for $1 billion in 2015, she successfully fought to get the drug back and launch it on her own terms. Cindy has made waves and her own success, creating mission driven companies that deliver big. Her results have become widely covered business success stories featured in major media outlets. She is most proud of helping others take command of their lives. The profoundly positive impact those companies have made for people is what keeps her coming back for more.

IT'S TIME TO “THINK PINK” ON THIS WEEK'S EPISODE! Cindy Eckert is a DEAR FRIEND, and has become an important ANGEL INVESTOR, SERIAL ENTREPRENEUR, WOMEN'S HEALTH ADVOCATE, AND A VISIONARY HEALTH TECH CEO. Whether you're a man or a woman, if you've ever had even the faintest glimmer of walking away from your current job and starting your own company, you're going to absolutely LOVE Cindy Eckert's story and what you can LEARN from her. You're all familiar with what Viagra does for men, but I'll bet not too many of you know Cindy is the one who got FDA approval for Addyi, the first drug designed to enhance female libido. After FDA approval, she sold her company, Sprout Pharmaceuticals, to Valeant for a cool $1 BILLION. It wasn't her first company sale either, having previously sold another start-up for $500 MILLION. Here's the fascinating part of Cindy's story. As part of a lawsuit settlement against Valeant, she reacquired Sprout and the rights to Addyi for next to nothing after Valeant's stock collapsed by 80% due to insider trading and price manipulation allegations. People like Cindy can't sit still for very long. So, she launched a “PINKUBATOR” and a VC/consulting firm called the PINK CEILING as a way of leveling the start-up and entrepreneurial environment for women. Cindy has a wealth of KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE you're going to want to tap into. In our ENERGETIC interview, Cindy and I talk quite a bit about the DNA required to be an entrepreneur, how to overcome INEVITABLE SETBACKS, and the MINDSET you need to have in a start-up company, Most important of all, Cindy stresses that to be successful as an entrepreneur, everyone in your company has to have “SKIN IN THE GAME.” We also get into the need for establishing the right CORPORATE CULTURE and why treating customers like GOLD is one of the foundational keys to SUCCESS. If you're an owner, CEO, or you have management responsibilities where you work, Cindy's INSIGHTS on finding, hiring, and managing people is something you must hear. Those of you who are ENTREPRENEURS searching for more CAPITAL for your business need to pay particular attention to what Cindy looks for when she's investing in someone's business. Cindy may be well known for the PINK outfits she wears every day, but her advice is TRUE BLUE, and you owe it to yourself to hear what she has to say. Be sure to grab pen and a notepad and take a lot of notes for this one.

Today on Work In Progress, Sophia is joined by Cindy Eckert (@cindypinkceo)!! Cindy is a serial-entrepreneur and highly vocal advocate for women, specifically in the areas of business and health. Over her impressive 24-year career in healthcare, Cindy created and sold two innovative pharmaceutical companies, Slate Pharmaceuticals and Sprout Pharmaceuticals. At Sprout, she forged a new path in women’s healthcare by creating Addyi, the first ever FDA approved drug for low sexual desire in women. After selling it for $1B only to see it shelved, she fought tooth and nail to get it back and make sure that it was made available for women against all odds. She now mentors and invests in entrepreneurs with ground-breaking ideas through her investment fund, The Pink Ceiling. This “pinkubator” helps women do what Cindy has already done herself: achieve big success, take command in male dominated industries, and truly change the world. On today’s episode of Work in Progress, Sophia and Cindy discuss moving around as a kid, the importance of individuality in the workplace, and how the best way to change a problematic industry is to change it from within. They also explore the social conditioning of women around the subject of sexual pleasure, and why female sexual health is largely overlooked. This episode is about advocating for ourselves as women and demanding better. You’ll want to share this one with every woman you know.

Justin Schenck is the host of the top rated podcast the Growth Now Movement and founder of Growth Now, LLC which is a full service podcast production and coaching company. He has been named a Top 8 Podcaster to follow by Inc. Magazine and chosen as an ‘Icon of Influence’ in the new media space. What started out as something fun to do in order to connect with top influencers and help one or two people along their journey, has grown to become a podcast that is currently getting played in over 100 countries every single week and ranked in the top 15% in the world. Justin now works with some of the worlds elite entrepreneurs and business owners like Fabio Viviani, Sarah Centrella, and Cindy Eckert. He is also the host and creator one of the most exciting live events for entrepreneurs and forward thinkers; Growth Now Movement LIVE! None of this started from greatness. Justin had the deck stacked against him growing up, with difficulties in his family that should have relegated him to being a statistic rather than a success. The inspiration and purpose he found along his journey fuel the message he shares in his work and in this episode today. As a note, this episode was recorded before the live, in-person event was cancelled due to the Corona Virus. GNM Live was changed to a virtual event. Key Points from the Episode with Justin Schenck: Justin started a podcast four years ago with his show “The Growth Now Movement,” not knowing quite what it would be, and it has become a movement. He ended up building a podcasting production and consulting business as a result, too. He also ended up creating a live event out of what was coming from the podcast, called Growth Now LIVE. Justin has had the desire to be an entrepreneur for a long time, which is what his podcast has allowed him to be. He adopted the famous saying, “Live happens for me, not to me.” That didn’t come easily when you look at what Justin’s life was like. His mother was addicted to opiates, his father was in jail, and he had a 1.7 GPA. If you look at the statistics, each of his parent’s situation meant he had a 50% chance of being an addict or going to jail himself. He chose not to live that way. He read the book, Who Moved My Cheese, and realized life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. At 19, he was working in a direct sales business, had done well in his role, and started to manage people. This is where the entrepreneurial spark was lit. An employee came to him and said that, while he would have made more money working in fast food, what he learned by working for Justin was worth far more than that. In that moment, Justin realized that he wanted to inspire and guide people full time, and he should pursue making that his life’s work. He put together an event company to do personal development events, and had some success. One over-leveraged event that failed to sell enough tickets to pay for itself ended up killing the business. What he learned in that experience about what he needed to learn still was invaluable to his future success. He also learned that the right response is not to just quit. Justin’s entire life was never just handed to him, so he chose to keep fighting and learn from this failure. The learning was not instant. Right afterward, he called his mother and told her he was quitting. She pointed out that he didn’t fail, but was instead heading in the right direction and needed to keep heading there but with new knowledge. Just because you didn’t get what you wanted out of the current situation does not mean you aren’t headed in the right direction. We talked about his mother’s addiction, and interesting, despite what she was going through, she was still Justin’s rock and there for him through it all, even to her ultimate death at the hands of her addiction. She taught him that our rock bottom moments are the start of so much greatness. It can also be the end for people because you feel like better is impossible. But what actually matters is the choices we make in those moments to make things better for us and the people around us. There is choice and direction all around us. The key is that we have to listen (don’t just hear it, but actually listen and take it in). On the back of his mother’s death, he went on a three month, black-out-drunk bender. He kept going out drinking all night to keep from sitting in the pain, and feeling it. He had a mentor and coach who asked him where he was going one night, and when he said he was going drinking, she told him, “No you’re not. You’re going to sit and you’re going to feel this tonight.” While it was incredibly painful, when he woke up the next day, the weight of the pain was gone. He realized that, when we hit rock bottom, we can go through pain, and we can feel like there’s no way out. But it can end, and it’s up to us to decide when that moment is. He chose growth. He uses the Rule of 1% – he chooses to get 1% better every day, in his relationships, finances, health, etc. He reflects at the end of each day to see where he made progress, and if he didn’t, what he learned from not making it, and what he can do differently. And if he feels that he did nothing in a day, he has compassion for himself and realizes he can still get up the next day and be better. If you focus on 1% each day, you end up with exponential growth in a year. We look at other people, and think, “I want that. I want what they have.” Justin says we need to stop looking at other people because it only makes us feel bad. It’s a waste of time and our potential. What are you cultivating for yourself? Focus on that rather than what the other person is doing. Justin’s events were born of his podcast, and spawned a series of seminars in the early days. As he and his partner were working to launch the podcast, he got the call about his mother, who he dropped everything, drove 7.5 hours, and went to see her before she passed. He promised her he will make her proud and this will not go unnoticed. As the show started, his partner was talking about business, and he was talking about the self-improvement journey and values. The show changed into what it is now, with Justin hosting solo, and went further into this purpose that came from the moment when his mother died. We talked about the pursuit of money or impact, and Justin firmly believes that money is just a reaction to our impact. He said it really well, “I’ll impact a million lives before I have a million dollars.” With that intention, it’s not surprising to see that he’s clearly somewhere around that level of impact given that he’s close to his 300th episode, and gets thousands of listeners to each show he does, meaning there have already been over a million times his show has been taken into someone’s life. We got into the details about the upcoming Growth Now Movement Live, which is happening on September 25-27th. He named a number of seriously impactful people, some of which are doing keynotes, and some are part of panels. This includes people like Nick Santonastasso, Anthony Trucks, Justin Wren, Natalie Jill, Adam Schaeuble and others. None of them is paid to do it, which means they’re all there because of the purpose of it, which is part of why it makes sense to call it a Movement. The big difference with GNM Live is that the speakers are all intertwined in the event and the people, and you see it in the posts people share after the event. They name all the great people they connected with, and that includes the speakers, who they are doing more than just tagging in a post. These people have genuine connections on a personal level. As Justin says, it’s what happens in between the margins, where we get to make the direct relationships we thrive on in life.

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 companies founded or led by women. If you have a mission and are in need of motivation, this episode will inspire you to keep going even when the odds are stacked against you!

Cindy Eckert has seen incredible success in the pharmaceutical industry challenging the boys club with the “little pink pill.” She and Joe De Sena talk about the crossovers between overall health, diet, and good sex, about challenging the status quo, and her advice for female entrepreneurs going against the odds. Cindy says " I think that good sex is the trifecta of wellness. We talk about physical health, mental health, and sexual health is a component of that. I mean, that's my perfect Venn diagram, all of those intersecting to be at your best level of performance." 4% of all research dollars are going to women's health, Cindy saw that as an opportunity rather than an obstacle and she invests in products that make women's lives better.

It was 2015 when Addyi first came on the market. It took 6 years, nearly fourteen thousand test subjects, and a black box label before it cleared the FDA. It was the first, and until 2019 the ONLY FDA approved drug to treat HSDD in women. Viagra on the other hand was fast tracked in 6 months with just four thousand test subjects. Why? In Episode 9, we talk with Cindy Eckert, founder and CEO of the Pink Ceiling, about her story, from the creation of Addyi, to taking on the FDA, and becoming a voice for the millions of women who suffer from HSDD.
Cindy Eckert, CEO of The Pink Ceiling and serial entrepreneur with more than $1.5 Billion in exits, talks about the different ways that rule-breakers and risk-taskers can thrive as entrepreneurs, as well as how to turn your doubters into your biggest supporters.Eckert and host of #ThePlaybook, David Meltzer, chat about a range of topics including how it feels to close a billion-dollar-deal, how entrepreneurs should handle doubt from themselves and others, and why you should never be bound by “unwritten rules” in life. The pair also discuss how they work to empower people around them to take ownership of their ideas and business.
Cindy Eckert has built and sold two pharmaceutical companies and she's the creator of the Little Pink Pill. Cindy exited that company for more than a billion dollars, and in total has $1.5bn worth of exits, but who's counting? Right? Cindy writes her own rules and defines what it means to be a renegade. The woman is unapologetically true to herself and it's serving her very, very well. Cindy has created and runs The Pink Ceiling, which is the cross between a VC fund, an incubator, and a consulting firm with a focus on women and female entrepreneurs. Cindy was quoted in Entrepreneur magazine saying “The injustice I'm fighting with The Pink Ceiling is not only women's limited access to capital, but also their limited access to mentors.” She's also been quoted in Fortune Magazine saying that her investment strategy is to quote "Make other women really f'n rich" end quote. The renegade mentality that this woman has can help anyone, and the things that Cindy shares in this episode are specifically applicable to anyone who's looking to tackle their Why Not Now?

Prior to forming The Pink Ceiling (affectionately known as the Pinkbuator) to fund and foster female-led disruption in healthcare, Cindy built two pharmaceutical companies from scratch. As Founder and CEO of Sprout Pharmaceuticals, she created a new category of sexual wellness for women by taking on the FDA and winning the approval of the first and only pill for women's libido, Addyi. Cindy sold that company for $1B and now invests in game-changing ideas that support her mission to put women on top.Alexis Ohanian (@alexisohanian) is the co-founder of Reddit and Initialized Capital and the author of the bestselling book, Without Their Permission. Alexis has long advocated for the open internet, STEM education, and paid family leave. Alongside Garry Tan, he co-founded Initialized Capital—a seed-stage venture fund with over $500M under management and a portfolio with $36B in market value so far. After selling Reddit to Conde Nast, Alexis returned in 2014 as executive chairman to help lead the turnaround of the now independent company, which was last valued at $3B.You can find all books from this episode in the show notes.“Books I’ve Loved” on The Tim Ferriss Show is brought to you by Audible!

I know this is a bold question… but what if I asked you if you were satisfied with your sex life? You might think, “That’s a little too personal to be talking about.” Today’s guest, Cindy Eckert, is at the forefront of a movement to de-stigmatize this discussion, of sexual vitality, specifically as it relates to low libido. Cindy is the creator of Addyi, a little pink pill to treat women with low or no sexual desire. It has been labeled by the media as the female viagra. She fought an uphill battle to get ADDYI approved by the FDA, and sold her company for 1 billion dollars. Through that experience, she got a first-hand lesson of what it meant for women to advocate for each other…. for better health outcomes, for better research for women, and for better business opportunities for women. Cindy is on a mission to put women on top. And that’s what prompted her to launch The Pink Ceiling in 2016… It was her way of helping female-focused businesses with capital as well a s mentorship. You can’t miss Cindy when she walks into the room. She’s unapologetically pink... from her clothes to her accessories. I’m excited about today’s show. Cindy is such a powerhouse when it comes to getting the attention and funding for women’s health issues… something that is desperately needed in this country!

Decoding Disruptors takes a deep dive into the minds of extraordinary women who have disrupted the narrative in their businesses, industries, and communities. The team at Finding Mastery, Compete to Create, and Microsoft worked together to bring this series to life. I had the chance to interview 9 amazing women, every conversation was filmed, and is currently available at decodingdisruptors.com.On the website you’ll also find a Disruptor Assessment— this quick assessment tool will help you measure your mindset skills and illuminates where you are on the road to becoming a disruptive business leader.We’re making a few of these conversations also available on the Finding Mastery podcast feed and this second conversation is with Cindy Eckert, a self-made serial entrepreneur.In the past ten years, Cindy has founded and sold two billion dollar pharmaceutical businesses.A modern day Erin Brockovich, Cindy took on the FDA – and won – to get approval of the first ever drug for low sexual desire in women, dubbed the “female Viagra” by the media.At the time, there were 26 drugs on the market for low sexual desire for men and not a single one for women.The drug was initially rejected by the FDA despite the data and science that supported its need and efficacy...In Cindy’s view, she had to battle a gender bias in healthcare that wasn’t about whether women needed drugs for low libido, but “does women’s sexual pleasure even matter”. Cindy’s company, The Pink Ceiling, champions the interests of women through its “Pinkubator”, providing funding and mentoring to help female entrepreneurs break through the “pink ceiling.”If there’s a rule that exists for no reason other than a societal narrative, Cindy will break it – and she’ll do it wearing blazing hot pink.

In the Pocket Podcast Posse! Lou here, with a little note from the road. I am on my way back from Phoenix Arizona to Los Angeles, California after a 2 day event with Ali Brown. Although that is a very high end event, I am traveling by.. GREYHOUND! I’ve left you a voice message of my Greyhound bustrip to Phoenix and the first day of the event about why I sooo love to take the Greyhound and how I am growing more and more into an and/and state of mind. And business class ánd the Greyhound. That last part is essential for me as a writer and an artist. A little unconventional maybe when the dreams of other Law of Attraction teachers and students may include private jets but it keeps me connected to my HEART’S DESIRES. This is what this podcast is about. How to stay true to YOU and your TRUE DESIRES in the Manifesting Madness. You wíll be triggered. Only all the time. Me too. To be in a room full of 75 amazingly smart women, who are taking the world by storm it is easy to be blown away and think that what you are doing is insignificant and not enough. Just keep coming back to the three steps. 1. Focus. 2. SEARCH for the GOOD only. 3. Zip all the negative thinking and worrying and zap it back to step 1 and 2. For me an event like this is the perfect opportunity to PRACTICE and to question my beliefs. That is all you really need to do. Practice. Choose again, choose again, choose again. When you make sure you are following your HEART’S DESIRES, and not your HEAD’S DESIRES you can’t go wrong. Every time your head starts to take over, zip it, and zap back to the heart. Just after I recorded this voice message for you, Cindy Eckert came to speak at our event. She just sold her pharmaceutical company for 1 billion dollars. She busted through MY BELIEFS about rich people ánd the medical world being greedy and selfish. She is a lighthouse! And I loved how she still drives the same car, still lives in the same house and still wears the same clothes. That is all I needed to zip any prejudice and zap back to number 1 and number 2. Google her. Your mind will be blown. And we were in the room with her. And she was in a room with me. An Artist. A Writer who loves to break down big ideas into bitesize brilliance for your brain. If you look at it that way, we are both in the pharmaceutical business. She created the Pink Pill that changed tremendous amount of lives. I am creating Paper Pills that make you feel like a billion bucks! At least, I do. The same way this cheap Greyhound bus does. Go figure. Listen up here and I’ll fill you in later about the rest. Inwards, thén onwards! Lou P.S. What this episode is really about is that JOY is indeed enough. My flight over to LA was total proof for me. I’ll tell you about it over here: P.P.S.

Cindy Eckert is an entrepreneur who built and sold two pharmaceutical companies, notably Sprout Pharmaceuticals, creator of “female Viagra,” for more than $1B. She subsequently founded The Pink Ceiling which invests in companies founded by, or delivering products for, women. Some interesting insights from this episode: Moving every year during her childhood taught her how to be comfortable being uncomfortable. This experience of constant change would lay the foundation for the rest of her life. While she had been surrounded by incredibly smart and hard working people in prior companies, she knew in her heart they weren't any smarter or harder working than she was, so why not take a chance on herself. She initially got turned down by the FDA for her drug for female low libido but rather that accept the verdict, she had the guts to challenge the FDA which eventually led to a reversal of their decision and approval for the drug. After just four short years from the time she first purchased the drug, following the FDA approval, she sold the company for a billion dollars. Culture is very important. Her company is the land of the misfit toys and they actually hire for quirkiness. There is permission to bring your entire self to work and to be respectfully irreverent. She tries not to get too obsessed with where things will lead. She's just focused every day on getting up and doing a great job and creating value. “I fail every day. Failure is just part of the test of how committed you are to the venture.” “Empathy is the female DNA of a rule breaker.” “Success isn't about having all the answers. It's about having the courage. If you feel you need to have all the answers, you'll never succeed at entrepreneurship.” “Why do we treat our career like a ladder? Why can't it be a jungle gym?”
This week we talk about the pink elephant in the room: when women lack sexual desire. Cindy Eckert, creator of the ‘female Viagra’ and founder of The Pink Ceiling/Pinkubator, joins us to talk through the science of sexual desire and how the lack of it is actually a medical condition.

They published "Christmas Jammies" in December 2013 and life hasn't been the same. Since then, their popular parodies, "All About That Baste", "Baby Got Class," and original music "Snow Day" have received national news coverage. Penn, the Dad, took a chance and left his job as a news anchor to join his wife Kim, the Mom, at their video production and digital marketing company, Greenroom Communications, LLC. Lola and Penn Charles are always happy, respectful and eat all of their vegetables (that last sentence is a lie). Produced and Engineered by Trujillo Media

She created Addyi, the first FDA-approved drug for women with low libidos, dubbed by the media as ‘the female Viagra’, and sold the company that created it — Sprout Pharmaceuticals — for $1 BILLION. And then last year, she successfully sued to get it BACK. Why? And then what happened? I had to get Cindy Eckert (formerly Whitehead) back on the show, not only to explain what’s going on with her company, but also update us on her unabashed mission to help make more women ‘really f—ing rich’. The post Cindy Eckert, Founder of The Pink Ceiling + CEO of Sprout Pharma — Glambition Radio Episode 171 with Ali Brown appeared first on Ali Brown - the world's most recognized business coach for women entrepreneurs, leadership, speaker, and founder of The Trust..
Cindy Eckert developed a female sexual desire drug, and then sold the company that she founded for a billion dollars. When the buyers didn’t fulfill their promise to promote the drug, she took the company back (without paying a dime.) Bold enough to take on the FDA and empathetic enough to listen to her most ardent detractors, Cindy Eckert is the perfect entrepreneur to take on the medical industry and male-dominated culture in general.

Cindy Eckert (formally Whitehead) is the founder of a Sprout the first pharmaceutical company to develop Addyi, the first female Viagra. In the mid-2010s, Cindy sold her company to a bigger pharmaceutical company but soon found she made a mistake. The program Pinkbator is searching for women entrepreneurs wanting to improve the lives of women and the world in general. Cindy is very passionate about her mission and the company she built. She takes me on the journey of Slate (her first pharmaceutical company), Sprout, and finally The Pink Ceiling, She tells me about her billion dollar exit and how her purchaser disappointed her in the end. Cindy was so disappointed by her company’s “adopted parents” that she sued for the right to take the company back. I ask her how she managed it and she credits creative deal structuring and a great legal team. She won the case and built The Pink Ceiling, a business incubator that is dedicated to empowering, educating, and giving women entrepreneurs a chance to grab capital opportunities. What you will learn: Why Cindy became an entrepreneur Why she gravitated to pharmaceuticals Cindy’s fascination with women’s sexual health and why it is important. The beginning of Slate and how it led to Sprout. How to “Be the Workhorse.” The qualities Cindy looks for in her team. The danger of having the wrong partner and being selective about investors. Why you should be accountable to investors. The benefits of an awesome legal team. The stipulations Cindy included in her sale agreement when she sold Sprout. How those stipulations helped her win the company back in court. The Pink Ceiling and Cindy’s view of the future. Takeaways: You need to know what you are passionate about and what you want your company to be. Then you need to align your passion and vision with your investors, employees, and eventually potential buyers. Maintaining this alignment makes all the difference with whether you will be pleased with a sale or not.

Cindy Eckert is on a mission to make other women, "really f***ing rich." And who doesn't like the sound of that? She's the founder and CEO of Sprout Pharmaceuticals, which created Addyi, the first ever FDA-approved drug for low libido in women. We talk hormones, big pharma, negotiations and how to handle sexism. In Mailbag, credit cards, student loans and other financial trade-offs. Also: the big little lies we tell when women outearn their husbands.
Cindy Eckert has built and sold two pharmaceutical companies and she's the creator of the Little Pink Pill. Cindy exited that company for more than a billion dollars, and in total has $1.5bn worth of exits, but who's counting? Right? Cindy writes her own rules and defines what it means to be a renegade. The woman is unapologetically true to herself and it's serving her very, very well. Over the last couple of years, Cindy has created and been running The Pink Ceiling, which is the cross between a VC fund, an incubator, and a consulting firm with a focus on women and female entrepreneurs. Cindy was recently quoted in Entrepreneur magazine saying “The injustice I'm fighting with The Pink Ceiling is not only women's limited access to capital, but also their limited access to mentors.” She's also been quoted in Fortune Magazine saying that her investment strategy is to quote "Make other women really f'n rich" end quote. The renegade mentality that this woman has can help anyone, and the things that Cindy shares in this episode are specifically applicable to anyone who's looking to tackle their Why Not Now?
This is The PinkCast with Cindy Eckert! In this episode I wanted to take a quick minute to introduce myself, and give you a taste of what you'll hear while listening to my show. As some of you know, I sold my last company for a billion dollars… that's right, billion with a “B”. After that exit, I wanted to reach back and pull other women to get to the same success I was so fortunate to experience. So I started The Pink Ceiling, where we not only invest money but roll up our sleeves and strategize as these startups get ready to launch. Our Pinkubator companies are female founded or female focused health tech startups. In the last two years, I've invested over $15 million! My work has taken me all across the country and I want to share with you unfiltered access to some of the most colorful people I feel fortunate to call friends. They are all characters and I'm so excited for you to meet them. A few of the superstar guests I'll have on with me is the amazing model & body activist Ashley Graham, master Chef Fabio Viviani, Shark Tank star Robert Herjavec and much more. Hope you enjoy the conversations as much as I do! If you do, please subscribe!
Cindy Eckert (formerly Whitehead) (@cindypinkceo) is an entrepreneur with 1.5 billion dollars in exits who currently serves as the founder and CEO of The Pink Ceiling, an investment firm and consulting enterprise nicknamed the Pinkubator with a mission to invest in, launch, and build other women-led or focused businesses. She believes that access to good advice alone is not enough to change the ratio of men to women in business, and that is why she personally invested more than 15 million dollars in 2017 alone to support the development of nine portfolio companies.I should mention right off the bat that if you're a guy, don't let this bio turn you off in any way — in the sense that I wanted to have Cindy on the show because she is a good CEO and entrepreneur, very much irrespective of gender. The negotiating techniques, the approaches to deal-making, everything that we talk about applies to entrepreneurs, period, full stop.Earlier in her career, Cindy was the founder of Sprout Pharmaceuticals, home of Addyi, the first and only FDA-approved treatment for low sexual desire disorder in women, which was sold for one billion dollars and then reacquired in a crazy story with incredible terms that we will discuss in this conversation.Please enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with Cindy Eckert!This podcast is brought to you by Peloton, which has become a staple of my daily routine.
