S8. E. 15 How Brittany Snow & Jaspre Guest Are Raising Mental Health Awareness Through Letter Writing Dec 14, 2020

Show notes

Did you know that 40 million adults over the age of 18 have anxiety? Thanks to COVID, that number is on the rise with nearly half of Americans reporting the coronavirus crisis is harming their mental health. But even before the pandemic, the prevalence of mental illness among adults was increasing. A whopping 9.7% have severe major depression and this rate is highest among youth who identify as more than one race, at 12.4%. Despite the staggering stats, mental health is still stigmatized in our modern society which prevents anyone from reaching out for help. This continued stigma inspired two friends, Brittany Snow and Jaspre Guest, to create a platform that not only raised mental health awareness but provided support for those in need through the power of letter writing. Their hope? To start a ripple effect of openness so others may feel comfortable to share their own story, too. In this episode of WorkParty, live from Create & Cultivate's digital Social Good Summit, we dive into this incredible and important initiative with Brittany and Jaspre and tap into the triumphs and the highs along with the struggles and hardships that come with being a “successful woman.” Join the party on social @workparty and stay in-the-know at workparty.com.

S8. E. 14 This Founder Is Disrupting the $127B FinTech Industry With a Kid-Friendly Money App Dec 09, 2020

Show notes

Presented by Mastercard

There are very few FinTech companies run by Black women. In fact, the majority of FinTech companies are run by white men, because—let’s face it—that’s who gets VC funding.Despite the fact that Black women are starting new businesses at a rate faster than anyone else, when it comes to venture capital, Black women still get less than 1% of funding. Enter Tanya Van Court. The former Nickelodeon executive is a founder who’s tipping these stats in the right direction. To date, she's raised over $2M in funding for her kid-friendly money app Goalsetter. She’s disrupting the $127B FinTech industry with her mission to make financial learning fun and accessible and to help families become financially healthy and empower them to achieve their goals. In this episode of WorkParty, we sit down with Tanya to learn more about how she’s making financial literacy more accessible, taking on the FinTech giants, and giving back to the community while she’s at it.

S8. E. 12 Self-Made Millionaire Cayla Craft on Mastermind Groups, Investing, and Selling Yourself Dec 02, 2020

Show notes

Presented by Mastercard “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” is a popular TV show for a reason—who doesn't want to see seven figures in their bank account? But the odds of winning a million dollars are pretty slim. So, what does it take to be a millionaire? You’ve likely asked yourself this question at least once in your life, and while it may feel like a pipe dream, today’s guest is here to tell you otherwise. At 23 years old, Cayla Craft was working in a hospital as an ER nurse when children came into the picture and she quickly realized she needed a flexible career that allowed her to work from home. So much so, that by the time she was 26, Cayla had made her first million dollars. Yes, you heard that right! Her entrepreneurial success laid the foundation for Cayla to launch her second business, Mommy Millionaire, in 2017. Through Mommy Millionaire, Cayla has helped thousands of women grow their business with practical tips and resources. Over time, she has grown Mommy Millionaire into a full-fledged brand, eventually launching a podcast and authoring a best-selling book. In this episode of WorkParty, we sit down with the lifestyle coach and mom of three to get the scoop on her journey to becoming a self-made millionaire, her secrets to balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship, and how she’s navigated being a working mom during a pandemic.

S8. E. 9 How the Stitch Fix Founder Is Weaving Social Impact into the Core of Her Biz Nov 23, 2020

Show notes

Her radical data-driven approach to selling clothes has completely disrupted the retail model by combining data science with technology and personal stylists. Today, Katrina Lake’s online personal styling company, Stitch Fix, has taken a multi-billion-dollar slice of the $368-billion U.S. apparel industry, but she is just getting started. Stitch Fix is equally concerned with social impact and using their influence for positive change. After experiencing her own challenges first hand as a female entrepreneur struggling to fundraise in a male dominated VC landscape, Katrina has prioritized diversity for Stitch Fix from the start. They recently pledged to use resources, influence, and data to create real, systemic change as part of their long term work on social justice, diversity, equity, inclusion, and sustainability efforts. Most recently this year, they launched a new grant and mentorship program called Elevate which will help to grow, mentor, and support underrepresented entrepreneurs in a bid to help bring needed diversity into the apparel ecosystem. Stitch Fix also publicly shared their longstanding commitment to pay equity, which they analyze through the lens of race in addition to gender. Tune in to this special WorkParty conversation, live from Create & Cultivate's Social Good Summit and moderated by Elaine Welteroth, where we dive into these initiatives and so much more with the founder and CEO of Stitch Fix, Katrina Lake.

S8. E. 8 How Michelle Cadore Is Empowering Women Through Fashion Nov 18, 2020

Show notes

Presented by Mastercard To today’s guest, fashion is not only a passion, but also a vehicle to empower others. Michelle Cadore is the designer, CEO, and visionary behind YES I AM, a clothing brand that seeks to inspire others to tell their stories of triumph. Founded in 2016, YES I AM designs feature messages of empowerment like “Queens empower queens,” “Know your worth,” and “Faith it ‘Till You Make it.” And that’s not all Michelle does. She’s also the co-owner of Brooklyn-based fashion boutique DA SPOT NYC, which showcases 50+ independent creative brands owned by people of color, including her YES I AM line. Michelle clearly has a knack for entrepreneurship, and she’s made it her mission to use her business platforms to elevate and inspire other women. She took this mission a step further last year when she launched Cadore Advisory Group, a business consultancy firm dedicated to helping small businesses grow and reach their full potential. You may have also caught her creations on display at a past Create & Cultivate event. In this episode of WorkParty, we sit down with Michelle to learn how she brought her entrepreneurial visions to life and how she’s using fashion to empower others.

S8. E. 7 How Jenna Lyons Turned Her Passion Into a Successful Business Nov 16, 2020

Show notes

She's been referred to as the "Woman Who Dresses America" and for 26 years, Jenna Lyons did just that as she worked her way up the ranks at J.Crew. We gladly followed every stylish move in her journey, of course. Jenna’s personal style game can’t be contested. Who could forget the white shirt and floor-length feather skirt moment at Solange’s wedding? Fun fact: She wore the same skirt on the Met Gala red carpet a few years earlier. We'd go as far as to say that her rule-breaking style single-handedly changed the landscape of fashion and design forever. But now she’s stepping into a new role as an entrepreneur. In this episode of WorkParty, Jaclyn sits down with the quintessential multi-hyphenate at Create & Cultivate's Future of Work Conference to dive into her incredible career, the blessings and the challenges of starting over, and what the future holds.

S8. E. 6 Pivot Pioneers: How Chriselle Lim and Joan Nguyen Shifted Their Business Strategy Mid-Pandemic Nov 11, 2020

Show notes

Presented by Mastercard

If there’s one word we’ve heard over and over again this year it’s pivot. In what felt like the blink of an eye, small business owners were forced to rethink their strategy and switch course fast or risk shutting their doors. One of those businesses who saw opportunity in a crisis is Bümo. Co-founders Chriselle Lim and Joan Nguyen were just about to launch their co-working space with certified childcare onsite when the pandemic hit. Once shelter in place took over, they quickly pivoted their business into a virtual school and the response has been phenomenal. Thanks to their quick thinking and ability to adapt, Bümo is thriving and children from all over the world are attending their virtual classes from Asia to South America! In this episode of WorkParty, I sit down with Chriselle and Joan to learn more about their creative pivot, how their new virtual approach is the way of the future, and their advice for other business owners who are looking to do the same. Join the party on social @workparty and stay in-the-know at workparty.com. Guest Chriselle Lim & Joan Nguyen @chrisellelim @joan.nguyen.tran @bumoparent Produced by Dear Media
