If you’re in the thick of building, scaling, your pivoting your business or your career: LISTEN UP! (Yes, in all caps!)
This episode is for you.
Today’s guest is sharing a blueprint on how to grow, pivot, and scale successfully (even if you’re literally starting from scratch.)
Nancy Twine is the founder of the natural haircare company Briogeo. She’s also an entrepreneur, investor, and advisor. She made a courageous pivot from a high-powered career on Wall Street to launching a successful beauty brand (at Sephora, no less!)
So today, we’re talking about the business of the business.
Nancy so graciously opens up about the early days of building Briogeo, the hurdles she faced while changing careers, and the bold go-to-market strategies she deployed when first building her brand.
And the best part? Nancy goes DEEP into how she built her business by meeting tons of the right people… one step at a time.
