The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett

Description

"In this new episode, Steven sits down with serial entrepreneur Sophia Amoruso.


Sophia Amoruso is an American businesswoman and New York Times best-selling author of '#GIRLBOSS' which later became a Netflix series of the same name.


Sophia founded the female fashion retailer, 'Nasty Gal' in 2006 when she was 22 years old. Six years later, Nasty Gal was named the "Fastest Growing Retailer" in America. However, in 2016, the same year that Sophia was named by Forbes as one of the richest self-made women in the world, Nasty Gal filed for bankruptcy.


Since Nasty Gal's bankruptcy, Sophia has founded 'Girlboss Media', an online community providing mentoring and support for women worldwide. As well as 'Business Class', a comprehensive tutorial course that helps founders accelerate and scale their businesses.


In this conversation Sophia and Steven discuss topics, such as:

  • How Sophia’s rebellious nature helped her to create an original business
  • How she regards being an outsider as a superpower
  • Why as a CEO you only know 10% of what is happening in your company
  • Why Sophia would never want to be a CEO again
