Meghan was interviewed for the second time this year as part of the FORTUNE Most Powerful Women series of conferences. This conference was a Next Gen Summit and was aimed at high achieving female young executives, ready for the next step along their career paths. On this occasion Meghan met with FORTUNE associate editor Emma Hinchliffe. They discussed all things leadership. Topics covered included:Leading without fear / having the courage of your convictionsRestrictions on being heardResponsible use of social mediaThe effects of motherhood on leadership decisionsAlso,The podcasters from Teenager Therapy posted on their Twitter account to thank Meghan and Harry for taking the time to meet with them and for participating in their National Mental Health Day PodcastThe teenagers also took the opportunity to correct tabloid media reports of the event. The teenagers posted that the podcast wasn't recorded at Meghan and Harry’s personal home saying, "Every article that claims this is wrong."This was somewhat embarrassing for certain tabloids including the UK’s Daily Mail (online addition). The Daily Mail had published an article with a photograph of the room where the podcast was recorded, somewhat flippantly critiquing what they thought were Harry and Meghan’s home furnishings.

If you need a starting point, check out her "Coffee with Kim" series on here website here -> https://www.kimkaupe.com/coffeewithkimFind Kim OnlineWebsite: https://www.kimkaupe.comLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimkaupeInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimkaupeTwitter: https://twitter.com/kimkaupeAbout KimWhile Kim has not yet mothered a human baby, she delivered ZinePak—now The Superfan Company—into the world in January 2011 after holding positions at Conde Nast and Fathom Communications. She has been thrilled, killed, and amazed by her first few years of entrepreneurship and is so proud of what The Superfan Company has established in past seven years. From successes in retail with Walmart and Cracker Barrel to working with world class tours for legends like Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan to stints on TV shows like ABC's Shark Tank, the highs have been SO high… and the lows well, gray hair is cool now right?From Katy Perry and ACE Universe Comic-Con to Logic and the New York Mets, Kim has had more than 100 amazing clients throughout the years and no, she cannot pick a favorite client...she loves them all (somewhat equally!). She enjoys sharing the highs and lows of entrepreneurship on her social media, along with her adventures, travel, and friends (much to their dismay, often yelling, "Do not put that on your Instagram! Well unless I look good and then you can.")........For more episodes of the Just Get Started Podcast visit https://shows.pippa.io/justgetstarted or Follow the Just Get Started Podcast on Instagram at @justgetstartedpodcast or Facebook https://www.facebook.com/justgetstartedpodcast To learn more about the host, Brian Ondrako, check out https://www.brianondrako.com or find Brian on Instagram at @brianondrako See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On this episode of the One Mic series I start the conversation around Sales especially as it relates to people who have never had to "sell" before. This idea was originated from a great conversation I had up at the Next Gen Summit in NYC this past weekend. A lot of Start-up Founders have many talents and skills but one of the challenges a lot have is actually understand sales and the sales process of pitching VC's, selling their first clients, etc.I'm going to turn this into a multi-part series but wanted to give a taste of how I look at Sales and what has helped me become successful in the world of Sales.........For more episodes of the Just Get Started Podcast or learn more about the host, Brian Ondrako, check out https://www.brianondrako.com or find Brian on Instagram at @brianondrako Follow the Just Get Started Podcast on Instagram at @justgetstartedpodcast or Facebook https://www.facebook.com/justgetstartedpodcast See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Dylan Gambardella is the co-founder of Next Gen Summit and previously co-founded Students4Students.  He is an accomplished entrepreneur, speaker, investor, and activist. The 22-year-old Duke University alumnus has addressed global audiences at events including TEDx, Yale University, and UCLA, and is passionate about supporting young people in creating lasting, positive impact in our world.   Dylan was born and raised in Westchester, New York and graduated as the valedictorian of his high school class.  While at Duke, he majored in Economics and Public Policy and was named a Melissa & Doug Scholar and was elected as Senator for the student body. Dylan was also a member of the Duke Basketball Practice Team and a Director of Campus Enterprises, Duke’s oldest student-run company.   Dylan was the 2017 recipient of the New York Wunderkind award.  But Dylan’s entrepreneurial journey began at age 17 when he co-founded Students4Students, a higher-education consulting firm designed to provide applicants an advantage in the collegiate admissions process. After successfully helping over 120 clients in the first two years, Dylan co-founded Next Gen, where he aims to support innovation by providing the resources young entrepreneurs need to change the world.  To date, Dylan and Next Gen have hosted thousands of attendees at more than a dozen events across the country - including the international Next Gen Summit - and have attracted an online network of over 5,000 young entrepreneurs. The post 75: What It’s Like To Become a Next Gen Entrepreneur w/ Dylan Gambardella [Main T4C episode] appeared first on Time4Coffee.

On this bonus "library" episode, you'll hear what Justin Lafazan -- founder and CEO of Next Gen Summit and the author of What Wakes You Up?: Designing Kick-Ass Lives Through Entrepreneurship -- is reading, writing and thinking about creating next.

How do you build the largest network in the world of ambitious and successful 20-somethings?  According to Next Gen Summit founder and CEO Justin Lafazan, you just ask questions.  Justin had a 'mid-life' crisis at 18 years old before beginning college, deferred his start and decided to go on a gap year.  As he began mapping out what he'd do, he was advised he should try to create something... he was ambitious enough to start to create a book and a conference aimed at younger, ambitious, entrepreneurial people much like himself.  And since then his life has been a whirlwind creating Next Gen Summit which counts thousands of the most successful teen- and 20-somethings in its ranks, hosts events and conferences across the country and inspires others.  But at the very start of all of this was that decision to use a book to ask questions of people he admired -- a lesson Justin believes everyone should apply.  As you'll hear from Justin, it's not necessarily about the finished product, but the process you go through to learn and meet amazing people.   What started as a gap year -- funny enough Justin *still* hasn't even graduated yet -- has led him on an epic adventure that in some ways is still just getting started. And hear how he continues to find excuses to have conversations with people he admires.

This episode dives into entrepreneurship, innovation, and inspiring Generation Z's big ideas. Haley Hoffman Smith shares her experiences in engaging in entrepreneurship at a young age and how she works to empower and support entrepreneurs through her work as an author, speaker, and the Director of Community for the Next Gen Summit. We talk about finding passion, supporting one another, and aspiring towards our Big Ideas. 

Today’s Extraordinary Women Radio guest – Haley Hoffman Smith is a young and upcoming rockstar in the entrepreneurial world. I love the energy she is bringing into the world and her incredible wisdom is way beyond her years! Haley started her first global non-profit and wrote her first book at age 18, and is in the midst of starting her second non-profit – Her Big IDEA Foundation. She also will be a key team member on The Next Gen Summit - leading a community of 2000 entrepreneurs to their success. Her second book Her Big Idea will launch on June 11 – shortly after she graduates from Brown University in May. At Brown, Haley studied how women develop their sense of self agency in entrepreneurship and venture capital for her honors' thesis. She also created the first-ever women's entrepreneurship incubator to help female students bring their ideas from concept to reality. Haley's research around the impact of women in leadership, on boards and in venture capital firms was recently published in Forbes. She has huge passion for shining light on women's presence on a board boosts the bottom line. She shared the  research from the venture capital firm, First Round Capital who did a 10-year study on all the companies they invested in during that time period. The research showed that the companies with at least one woman on the board generated about 65% more ROI than companies with no women on the board. Haley has a passion for opening up opportunities for other women and helping them find the partnering and resources to launch their own companies. This is a rich delightful conversation of courage and bravery, self love and vulnerability, success and 'perceived' failure, and getting up and doing it all over again anyway. "You don't learn anything from success." ~Haley Hoffman Smith Haley is dynamic and there is no doubt in my mind that we need to take note of her name – because there will be a time when we say about Haley Hoffman Smith – I remember her when. She’s got an impact to make – I promise! To follow Haley's work and watch for the launch of her new book Her Big Idea, follow her on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.
