This week Hearst Magazines hosted their first ever #HearstFemaleForce event in partnership with HearstLab to spotlight women entrepreneurs and change-makers. An overview of our favorite takeaways ⬇️ 🤝 First & foremost: “Network or die” -MC Lydia Fenet of Christie's & author of The Most Powerful Woman in the Room Is You. More: https://lnkd.in/dJBRPMQ 💡 The key to being a founder? Having guts. Thank you to Brooke Shields and Jenna Rosenstein (Harper's Bazaar) for the honest discussion on aging, beauty, & finding yourself. ☮️ The key to “owning your morning”? Physical activity, positivity & peace according to Liz Baker Plosser (Women's Health), Deshauna Barber-Echols (Former Miss USA), Melodie Narain-Blackwell, Ali Krieger (2X World Cup Champion, Olympian & ESPN analyst), and Lindsay Jurist-Rosner (CEO of Wellthy). 👜 Know when to follow your heart and the importance of "patient capital." We got a behind-the-scenes look into the origin story of the iconic Dagne Dover bag brand led by superstar founders Deepa Gandhi & Melissa Mash. 📓 Reminder that "success is not final & failure is not fatal" and YOU are your most important story teller. Who better to learn from than: Madeleine Frank Reeves (Cosmopolitan), Dafna Mizrahi (Curamia Tequila), Miki Toliver King (Google), and Dana Kim (Highlight). 🎶 When we are forced to leave our comfort zones, we’re able to create something we never would have otherwise. Claire Stern Milch (ELLE Magazine) brought to the stage Grammy award-winning duo Barlow & Bear (https://lnkd.in/dX3aZ4gn) to share more about their experience writing for The Walt Disney Company's upcoming Moana 2 soundtrack. What a note to end on! Another special thanks to sponsors & Hearst Magazines (Karen Mendolia, Natalia Mendoza-Agoitia, Liliana Zapata, Hillary Koota, Todd Haskell & team) for a beautiful morning.
