Today, the Betches empire includes New York Times bestselling books, an e-commerce platform, podcasts, and nearly 7 million instagram followers. Samantha shares why bootstrapping helped the company grow at a steady pace, why positive feedback is critical as a manager, and what makes gen z tick.

Aleen Kuperman, Samantha Fishbein, and Jordana Abraham, the co-founders of the multi-media phenomenon Betches Media, offer an unapologetically honest and humorous take on how to be successful in your career in When’s Happy Hour?: Work Hard So You Can Hardly Work. In conversation with Sarah Fraser, a radio and TV personality and host of the “Hey Frase” podcast. This program took place on October 25, 2018.
I’m so excited for you all to hear my conversation with the magical trifecta that is Betches Media – Samantha Fishbein, Jordana Abraham and Aleen Kuperman. With a following of more than 6 million followers on Instagram, their presence has taken social media by storm with their funny and light-hearted approach to wellness, dating, careers, pop culture, politics and more. If you haven’t heard of them, I highly recommend traveling down their entertaining Instagram rabbit hole (I did and it was incredible). In an effort to offer the missing female counterpart to the “bro” culture, these three college friends decided to share their voice and opinions with the masses. With an obvious need fulfilled, their website at the time took off and has since morphed into podcasts, an eCommerce store, books and so much more. With two books already under their belts, a third book, “When’s Happy Hour,” which focuses on careers is set to release Oct. 23. Whether you’re in college, unfulfilled by your job or fulfilled but driven for more, this book will teach you how to succeed in a career and make yourself better – with lots of laughs along the way. These women are redefining what it means to love what you do, and I’m so happy they’re taking us all along for the ride.

In the beginning of your business, what were the parts you loved to do and what parts were challenging? What do you do to protect and nurture your relationships with each other? What are your favorite parts of what you’re doing now? What is a question you wish more people would ask you? What are some new challenges coming up for your business right now? Who is your new book, “When’s Happy Hour,” for? Quotes "It’s better that people are saying something, even if it’s not good, than not saying anything at all. At least criticism shows that people care.” “Even the most amazing job that allows you to follow your passion is work.” “Follow what makes you happy, what you’re good and what moves you, and live in a way that aligns with that.” Betches is a multi-platform media company for millennial women to experience comedy and empowerment in an honest environment.
