Back in 2011, I took my first business class in college. I had heard about this professor who had a really innovative way of teaching inside of the business school at ColumbiaAfter taking that class, I ended up having quite a few classes with him and he ended up becoming my Advisor for a little while. It was in 2012 during my junior where I took my first entrepreneurial class with him, created my first business plan and learned that Monopoly actually could be tied back to business (my family strongly dislikes playing with me now). Some of my favorite classes ever were taught by today's guest and I consider him my first mentor in the business world. The fact that we are sitting together now on my podcast over a decade later, it feels very surreal and I'm grateful. My guest today is Dr. Sean Siebert.

Today on the show, Judi hosts the Emmy nominated Costume Designer, serial entrepreneur, and fellow Arizonan, Jessica Wenger McPhaul. Just like her father, Jessica eats, sleeps and dreams entrepreneurship. After being fired on the spot as a costume designer for “buying the wrong thing”—when the right thing literally wasn't available in stores—Jessica recognized the market need for nude lingerie in all shapes, sizes and colors. It took years before she and her husband finally built up the courage to launch what we now know and love to be Naked Rebellion. In this conversation, we hear all about the tools Jessica uses to successfully manage four businesses and three kids, as well as what it looks like to build an inclusive company in the modern world.
