Podcasts about Nasty Gal

Today's guest is writer/director Natalia Leite. This director is one of the bravest filmmakers I've ever met. Her work on the VICE documentary ‘Life as a Truck-Stop Stripper was breathtaking. Not only did she direct the piece but one of the subjects in the film as well. Take a look below at her amazing work.Everyone knows what charming places strip clubs can be, but perhaps there is no club so charming as one in Moriarty, New Mexico—a truck stop with taxidermy and the bras of former employees on the walls, a few poles, a shitload of black light, and plenty of titties. Never mind that The Ultimate Strip Club List website describes it as the place “where strippers go to die.” Natalia Leite and Alexandra Roxo go Gonzo as they pose as strippers and experience something that can be best described as a Marina Abramovic performance crossed with a bizarro episode of Wife Swap directed by David Lynch's daughters, set in the type of place where a one-eyed guy who shot himself in the head dispenses meditation advice to two naked women.Natalia Leiteis a Brazilian writer/director. Her work has been described as having “a bracing, assertive style” (Variety), “emotional intelligence and sensitivity” (LA Times), and as “cementing the reign over highly stylized, sexually progressive dramas” (Slant).Her feature film “M.F.A.”, a psychological thriller centered around rape crimes in a university, premiered at SXSW 2017 and was nominated for a Grand Jury Prize. The film stars Francesca Eastwood and was released in theaters October 2017. Her feature film debut, “Bare,” premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2015, starring Dianna Agron.The film was released by IFC Films and Paramount Pictures. Natalia has created original content for Vice Media, most notably the provocative Vice show “Every Woman” which has garnered over 11 million views. She co-created and starred in the series “Be Here Nowish,” and has directed and shot documentaries internationally.Natalia is a contributing writer for Talk House and has been a featured speaker for NY Women In Film & Television, Apple Store Talks, IFP Filmmaker Conference, and numerous Universities. She also directs branded content for Vans, The North Face, Nasty Gal, and other companies. She recently signed with bicoastal production company Humble, her first commercial representation, and directs branded content for Vans, The North Face, and other companies.Enjoy my conversation with Natalia Leite.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.

Sophia Amoruso is the entrepreneur-turned-investor best known for founding the fashion e-commerce brand Nasty Gal and for coining the term “Girlboss”. She wrote the New York Times best-seller #Girlboss in 2014, which also got turned into a Netflix show. She lived the Girlboss dream herself: turning a humble eBay store that she started at age 22, into a company with hundreds of millions of dollars in sales by the age of just 29. She was on the cover of Forbes as one of the richest self-made women.But, later that same year in 2016, Nasty Gal would file for bankruptcy, selling for just $20 million. They had been unable to secure capital or a buyer as the gap between growth and profitability widened. Not deterred by Nasty Gal's bankruptcy, Amoruso applied her lessons and founded Girlboss Media, a digital media brand and community aimed at empowering female entrepreneurs.She's since put her hand to new pursuits - from her mentorship business, to her latest focus - Trust Fund: an early-stage venture fund focused on pre-seed and seed stage companies. Today we talk about everything from the ‘death of the girlboss', to whether female founders are treated differently in business.Building a purpose driven company?

In 2014, Sophia Amoruso was the founder and CEO of Nasty Gal and her book #Girlboss was a New York Times bestseller – plus responsible for coining the hashtag-turned-cultural-phenomenon. Since then her company has folded and the "girlboss" has been declared all but dead... yet Sophia is haunted by its ghost. Today, she addresses the legacy of the phenomenon, what makes her cringe when she reads her book today, and how she's remaking her life with new ambitions. Learn more about your ad choices.

Danny Rimer is a Partner @ Index Ventures and one of the most prominent VCs of the last two decades. Danny has led Index to be one of the top global firms on both sides of the Atlantic. Among Danny's incredible portfolio, he has led or been involved with Figma, Discord, Dream Games, Etsy, Glossier and Patreon. In Today's Discussion with Danny Rimer We Cover: 1. The Biggest Lessons from Missing Snap, Airbnb, Spotify and Facebook: How did Danny miss investing in Brian Chesky and Airbnb when Brian says "Index is the best investor that Airbnb never had"? What was Danny's biggest takeaway from turning down Daniel Ek and Spotify multiple times? Why did Danny turn down the chance to invest in Facebook at $10BN? What did he learn from this? Why did Index not lead Snapchat's Series B? How did that decision change Danny's mindset towards the concentration of positions in a fund? 2. The Biggest BS Rules in Venture: Market Sizing, Valuations and Signalling Why does Danny believe that "valuation is a mental trap"? Why does Danny believe that TAM is "noise" and should not be used to assess an investment? Why does Danny believe that stage, sector and geo-specific funds are BS? Why does Danny believe there are no IPO windows? Are IPO markets always open to the best? Why does Danny believe that signalling is BS and does not exist today? 3. Lessons from the Biggest Wins and Losses: What are Danny's biggest lessons from Index's $BN win in King (Candy Crush)? How did the Discord deal come to be? What are Danny's biggest takeaways from it? What are Danny's biggest reflections from losing 10s of millions on Nasty Gal? What is Danny's biggest advice to a new investor today? 4. Lessons from Two Decades Building Index into a Premier Firm: What specifically has Index done to enable them to do what no one else has done and win on both sides of the Atlantic? How did the Benchmark partnership shape much of how Danny has constructed Index today? Who does Danny view as Index's biggest competition? How has it changed with time? Why is Danny more bullish than ever on the UK despite Brexit?  

This week we're talking about girlbosses, a very specific set of highly-marketable young women who ran businesses like Glossier, Nasty Gal, and The Wing. Where did the Girlboss come from? Is she a second-wave feminist nightmare dressed like a daydream? And what led to her downfall? Marisa Meltzer, the author of Glossy: The Inside Story of Glossier, joins us.

She also explains why items in color cost more than items in black or white. (22:35) And then there's the “what Now” moment.

Nasty Gal went from an eBay side hustle to a business doing $100M in sales in under a decade. Behind it was the most famous “Girlboss” in America, Sophia Amoruso. She had no business experience, management training, leadership coaching, background in logistics, business financials, or running an online shop. Somehow, she built a business to heights few entrepreneurs ever reach, owning an extremely profitable clothing empire and finding herself on the cover of Forbes. But then, Nasty Gal went bankrupt. What happened? Sophia joins us on the show today to explain it all. She'll share her full financial story, which included watching her parents go bankrupt, eventually selling her business, and seeing it suffer the same fate. From entrepreneurial mistakesto risks Sophia took that led her to massive financial success, Sophia has seen both success and failure, and she has priceless insight to offer any aspiring entrepreneur or investor. If you want to build a business, invest in one, or start a profitable side hustle, Sophia can help. She'll also uncover what led to Nasty Gal's downfall, the pressure “Girlboss” put on her, and why growing too fast can kill your financial future. In This Episode We Cover How Sophia turned a thrifting side hustle into a nine-figure business  Hiring your first employee and why you DON'T want to over-scale your side hustle Venture capital, investing in businesses, and when you should give up equity Going bankrupt and rebuilding yourself after a financial failure What Sophia is investing in NOW that's helping her build even greater wealth Advice for new entrepreneurs and anyone who wants to sell online And So Much More!

This week, TrueAnon's Liz Franczak joins us to help unravel how the girlboss became the lazy girl job while society fell apart.What was the girlboss, and how did it evolve from a term of empowerment to something (let's face it) extremely cringe? Emilie just got done reading Marissa Meltzer's book on the story direct-to-consumer beauty juggernaut Glossier and its enigmatic founder Emily Weiss, and we couldn't think of a better person to discuss it with than this week's guest, TrueAnon co-host Liz Franczak. That's because in addition to being one of our favorite thinkers on all things related to true conspiracies and the sinister things that rich people do, she also happens to have worked as an early employee of the vintage-to-fast fashion retailer Nasty Gal — you know, the company founded by Sophia Amoruso, the lady who wrote the original book on GirlBossing.We discuss the specific economic, political, and technological moment that gave rise to the girl boss; its roots in pop feminist tomes like Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In and Amoruso's #GirlBoss; and why a movement premised on a kind of feminist version of trickle-down capitalism — and that became synonymous with a very specific group of well-heeled, mediagenic, millennial white women — was doomed to disappoint from the start.Along the way, we explore how Glossier and its line of “no makeup makeup” embodied the strange confluence of the Obama-era optimism and digital self-commodification that would become synonymous with mainstream millennial culture, and survey some of the other visions of femininity that have been circulating in wake of the Girl Boss's demise, from Greta Gerwig's Barbie, to lazy girl jobs and girl math, to trad wives, and more. Subscribe to TrueAnonFollow Liz on Twitter (or X or whatever)Read moreGlossy: Ambition, Beauty, and the Inside Story of Glossier's Emily Weiss, by Marissa Melzter“Where have all the girlbosses gone?”, by Marissa Melzter“What do we mean when we call art necessary,” by Lauren Oyler This is a public episode.

In part two of now THREE, Amanda explores fast fashion 1.0 and 2.0 through the lens of her career.  In this episode we will break down all of the acrobatics brands did to bring their customers more and more newness, faster and faster.   How fashion got faster with some help from social media and the normalization of shopping online. How retailers began to commodify every holiday and occasion, creating products we didn't really need for every and any "event." Why fast fashion retailers started to carry a lot of new things that weren't clothing. How small online-only retailers like Modcloth, Nasty Gal, Lulu's, and Dolls Kill were able to offer even more steady newness without a huge in-house design team. Get ready to learn about the San Pedro Apparel Mart. How fast fashion 2.0 brands like Fashion Nova and Boohoo could keep prices low while creating product faster than anyone else.  Additional reading:"Barnardo's calls for people to think 'pre-loved' before buying new clothes"Planet Money, Episode 765: The Holiday Industrial Complex"Is Urban Outfitters Phasing Out Its Indie Athleisure Brand?," Adele Chapin, Racked."From the San Pedro Wholesale Mart, a Brand Rises," Kari Hamanaka, WWD."Boohoo's business model is as cheeky as a bikini paired with chaps," The Economist."Inside the lavish lives of the billionaire family behind Boohoo, the fast-fashion giant called out in an investigation into workers being paid just $4 an hour at suppliers' factories," Mary Hanbury, Insider."Boohoo booms as Leicester garment factories are linked to lockdown," Archie Bland and Annie Kelly, The Guardian."Dark factories: labour exploitation in Britain's garment industry," Sarah O'Connor, Financial Times."Boohoo opens first owned factory in ‘new chapter' amid international market challenges," Emily Hawkins, City A.M."Three graphs revealing how Fashion Nova disrupted the fashion industry," Edited."Fashion Nova's Secret: Underpaid Workers in Los Angeles Factories," Natalie Kitroeff, The New York Times.FTC Announces Refund Claims Process for Fashion Nova Customers Affected by Deceptive Review PracticesSpecial thanks to this episode's sponsors:Soft Work, intuitive garment construction for beginners.

To some, it was a memoir, a miniseries, and a movement: #GIRLBOSS founder Sophia Amuroso is the self-proclaimed ex-socialist and dumpster-diver who departed her own failing fast-fashion startup with expert timing. Through her company Nasty Gal (like Uber, but for clothes), “serial entrepreneur" Amuroso was briefly taken seriously in sexist Silicon Valley circles, because for some, to fail is to succeed. Krystal Farmer, co-host of Two Cents Plus Tax with Sad Francisco producers Caitlin and Toshio, joins this week's look behind the liberal front of the hometown of #Girlboss™, Inc. | Support the show and get bonus episodes:

What exactly does “Gah!” mean? According to Lisa Bühler, it's an outburst of joy and delight at finding something you just absolutely need in your closet. Bühler is the Founder and CEO of Lisa Says Gah, an e-commerce platform that aims to be a home for artists of the fashion industry. After a decade of working in fashion, Lisa observed its toll on the environment as well as how hard it was for smaller labels to compete with big brands. So she set out to create what she calls an “anti shop”—a place where independent design thrives and all products are made ethically and sustainably. Before starting LSG, Lisa worked as an account executive and then as a buyer for Nasty Gal, where she was in charge of sourcing dresses, outerwear, and sweaters. In this episode, Lisa shares everything from how uprooting herself inspired her to start her own business to how she grew revenue a whopping 300% during the pandemic. Plus, she very generously shares some career mistakes she's made. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

It's a tale of two stories. Depending on who you talk to, Sophia Amoruso is a #GRILBOSS who started the uber successful brand Nasty Gal, or she's an entrepreneur who got in over her head and drove her company into bankruptcy. What's the real story? Bethenny isn't going to tiptoe around this question just because it could get awkward. She goes straight to the source and asks her directly.  Plus, is contouring out of control?  B's ready to rant asking the question, has the contouring craze gone too far? Bethenny settles it once and for all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
