Today's episode comes from the Your Next Move vault and is a conversation between Bea Dixon and Jenny Fleiss. Jenny is a powerhouse entrepreneur who co-founded Rent the Runway to solve the problem of how to attend multiple weddings per season without either a limitless budget or reusing the same attire endlessly. In their conversation, they discuss how this idea became a super successful reality, and how Jenny learned to trust her people… and herself as a leader

Jenny Fleiss has been an entrepreneur since she was a child. Where most kids are content to simply sell lemonade by the cup, she spent her summer days figuring out how to bundle products, the best form of signage, and what location would generate the highest number of sales. That spirit stayed with her as she grew older, always finding creative ways to solve a problem, like the time she duct taped her heel on the fly. Co-founding both Rent the Runway and Jet Black, Jenny has only picked up steam since her lemonade days. Ever the entrepreneurial mind, she is constantly excited by ways of growing and adapting her businesses to the ever-changing needs of her audience. But that doesn't mean that business solutions have to be complicated. According to Jenny, one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is learning how to work creatively with what you have.

Jenny Fleiss created Rent the Runway, a company now valued at $1 billion, in the wake of the most severe economic recession the United States has seen since the Great Depression. When everyone else was panicking in 2008 and 2009, Jenny and co founder Jennifer Hyman saw an opportunity. The problem they were trying to solve was simple enough: Looking into your closet and realizing you don’t have anything to wear to an important event, like a wedding, but don’t have the budget to buy something new. So they innovated, and created an entirely NEW way to shop by allowing women to rent designer clothing, online, for a fraction of what it actually costs.  Today, the rental, or sharing economy is booming – companies like WeWork, REI, and Zipcar make it possible for us to experience something, without the cost of ownership. But to put this in perspective, nothing like this existed at the time.  Jenny shares how she and her co founder got Rent the Runway up and running – and how they grew the business to where it is today. You’ll also hear Jenny’s philosophy on how she approaches hiring talent at JetBlack, a personal shopping service she co founded after leaving Rent the Runway, which is not only critical when you’re starting a business, but also when scaling it.  The interviewer for this episode is Scott Harris, a coach, mentor and a speaker at many of Tony’s events, including his business event, Business Mastery. 

Jenny Fleiss has spent most of her recent career building companies that challenge the traditional consumer experience, and remove hurdles she's experienced in her own life. When she co-founded Rent The Runway, the popular service for designer clothing and accessory rentals, Fleiss was in her 20s and looking to solve the age-old problem she and her peers were constantly facing: of a closet full of clothes and nothing to wear. Now, in a new stage of her life as a working mother, Fleiss is taking on the world of conversational commerce and the luxury consumer. In this week's episode of The Glossy Podcast, Hilary Milnes sits down with Jetblack founder and CEO, Jenny Fleiss, to discuss the new age of e-commerce, Jetblack's grassroots marketing approach and the way the company's services pay off for brand partners.

Experience This Episode 26: Outsourcing your Life Series (Part 2) - Your Virtual Closet ________________________________________________________________ All the way back in 2001, Jennifer Hyman had started to notice a change in her friends' behavior compared to that of her parent's generation. They had started to value experiences and time over goods and services. This culminated in her starting the first ever wedding registry for Starwood, as her friends no longer wanted pots and pans for their wedding gifts, they wanted excursions to locations and activities. In 2009, Jenn alongside her friend Jenny Fleiss set up Rent The Runway. The company was built on the idea that although clothing was extremely important to women, owning it was not. Instead, they valued renting curated high fashion outfits on a subscription basis. Today, the company is bringing in $100m in annual revenues, with a valuation of close to $1bn. Kiran and Tom spoke with a Rent The Runway superuser Sharon Bajwa who has been renting clothing for many years, to get a sense on how this service works, and why she values it so much. Her comments really sum up the value of the experience economy - 'It's saved me a lot of money, and it's saved me a lot of closet space for sure'. We also insights from Jennifer Hyman (CEO, Rent The Runway) on how an innovative approach to business models allowed them to solve new problems and capitalize on the experience economy to create a new market. ________________________________________________________________ Leave some feedback: • What should we talk about next?

Co-founder of Rent the Runway, Jenny Fleiss, now leads a startup called Jetblack. Today she talks about innovation, tips for entrepreneurs, and more. "Entrepreneurship is like highs and lows.
