Ep 429: The Messy Truth Behind Building A Multi-Million Dollar Business
Manage episode 425695377 series 2801390
When we talk about the question of whether women can have it “all,” successful careers, thriving marriages, and families, the messy truth is often, no, at least not all at the same time.
Alli Webb, founder of Drybar found that out the hard way when her business blew up seemingly overnight. She shares what fame, attention, and obsession with building a brand cost her and how she found herself again in the wake of the fallout.
In Mailbag, a listener asks if using roadside assistance too many times in a year can cause an increase in her car insurance. Another listener has a question about whether or not she should stay in her marital home post-divorce or sell it and build up her savings for retirement.
