About This Episode: We're back to our regular show format, as you, the listener have spoken and did not like my changes; without you all there is no show, so I'm here to give you what's needed and wanted. In this short episode, we look at the idea of fear actually being an indicator of the direction that you should go. If it scares you, then it generally means you will have to grow in order to become that person.   See the Show Notes: www.jeremyryanslate.com/608   Sponsors:Audible: Get a free 30 day free trial and 1 free audiobook from thousands of available books.

About This Episode: After developing an affinity for design while in the costume department in high school, Rebecca Minkoff moved to New York City at only 18 years old to pursue her dream of becoming a fashion designer. In 2005, Rebecca designed her first handbag, which she soon dubbed the “Morning After Bag,” a.k.a. the “M.A.B.” This iconic bag ignited Rebecca’s career as a handbag designer and inspired her edgy, feminine creations in the years to come.  After four years of designing statement-making handbags and accessories with her trademark leathers, studs and hardware, Rebecca returned to her roots of apparel design and introduced her first ready-to-wear collection in 2009. The brand has four domestic retail stores, eight international locations, and is distributed in over 900 stores worldwide. In 2011, Rebecca won industry recognition when she was awarded the Breakthrough Designer Award from the Accessories Council.  In September of 2018, she established the Female Founder Collective, a network of businesses led by women that invests in women’s financial power across the socio-economic spectrum by enabling and empowering female-owned businesses.   Find out more about Rebecca at:  https://www.rebeccaminkoff.com/ Rebecca on Facebook Rebecca on Twitter Rebecca on Instagram   See the Show Notes: www.jeremyryanslate.com/607   Sponsors:Podcoin: Get paid to listen to podcasts and this podcast!
