šŸŽ™ļø Podcast:

A few years ago, I remember reading about an entrepreneur who built a business all from posting vintage clothing on eBay. The founder had no fashion experience but grew it to over $100M in revenue and raised over $60M in VC funding.

That shop turned into Nasty Gal, an iconic fashion brand, and it was the brainchild of Sophia Amoruso

Tune in to Sophia's journey from launching Nasty Gal out of her SF apartment, building a multimillion-dollar brand, and using her life experiences to shape her current investment thesis at Trust Fund.

I deeply admire Sophia and this was so much fun!
