admin - Rebecca Minkoff, Fashion Designer + Founder of The Female Founder Collective — Glambition Radio Episode 169 with Ali Brown

A cut-up t-shirt she designed in her apartment helped launch Rebecca Minkoff’s entire fashion empire nearly 20 years ago, and it’s still thriving. But I was even more interested in having RM herself on #GlambitionRadio this week to discuss her new venture designed to assist other female founders.

It started with a simple question to a VC firm who wanted her to invest: ‘May I see a list of your female-founded companies?’ When they couldn’t easily provide one, she knew it was an opportunity. She shares her brilliant solution and why its relevant more than ever on this inspiring episode at GlambitionRadio.com.

Rebecca’s network of women mentors, supporters and colleagues had always been instrumental in her success. And she knew that 82% of women are more likely to support female-founded brands… if only it was made easier to do so.

So Rebecca created the Female Founder Collective: a network and directory of businesses led by women and supporting women. You’ll hear Rebecca’s big plans for this collective — plus, how you can join and get involved — on #GlambitionRadio.

She also shares why she stopped hosting formal fashion shows and took a ‘sharp right turn’ (as I call it) to launch I Am Many. This powerful campaign is a far cry from the conventional runway show: It uses video to highlight diverse women’s stories, while promoting Rebecca’s latest fashion collections.

On today’s episode, we also discuss:

*The FULL story on how that first t-shirt ended up launching her entire business… and how it appeared on Jay Leno (without her!)

*The inspiration behind her first handbag (let’s all flash back to our Carrie Bradshaw days in NYC ;))

*The importance of scarcity in today’s market (and how you can use it to take calculated risks in your business)

*Rebecca’s advice for how — and when — to branch out (without diluting your brand or specialty)

*The silver lining to our current political climate (and how it galvanized Rebecca to think differently about her legacy)

*What happened when she her dad for a business loan.. and he said no!

*Why it felt “extraordinarily materialistic” to do fashion as usual… and how that led her to think differently

*Why Rebecca doesn’t splash her name or initials across her handbags and clothing (I love this)

How to Set Priorities Using the ABCDE Method - Brian Tracy

The more thought you invest into setting priorities before you begin a task, the faster you will get the important things done. The more important and valuable the task is to you, the more motivated you are to overcome procrastination and launch yourself into the job.

Allana Pratt, Intimacy Expert - My boyfriend’s messaging strange women

Question: Do you have any idea why a man would start instant messaging strange woman after being in a five year relationship. Said he was “stupid” and wasn’t physical with anybody. I guess you can say I have trust issues. Answers: Ouch! I am so sorry. Do I have any idea why? Here is what I have learned, first off I am really sorry because that really hurts. If you have trust issues especially, that would hurt and sting even more. So first something about trust and then something about men. Trust: When we trust, it’s not that we trust someone to be perfect. That sets us up for failure because no one is perfect and you can’t control anybody. That is insanity if we try to control another and put all of our power – making sure they be a certain way to so that we are safe. Instead, find that safety and trust inside you. That safety being that capacity to discern and know that come what may, you’ve got your own back – you can take care of yourself. It takes a lot of pressure off of other...
