No one had to push Michael Jordan or Michael Phelps to practice. Lindsey Vonn went back on that mountain thanks to pure audacity. 💥 Your reminder that it’s audacity, not luck, that sets the ultra-successful apart. So swing for the fences 🚀 Love my conversation with @drgurner and these visuals from @selfmaximized

I believe we are about to see one of the biggest shifts in private capital in decades. 💥 A new generation of founders, creators, operators and culturally influential people are no longer just building audiences — they are becoming investors, advisors and owners. For too long, angel investing has been built around exclusivity, gatekeeping and insider networks. That model is changing fast.The people shaping culture should have access to building wealth too. And that's why we are building @investwithcherub ♥️ Thank you @alwayskarin @Forbes for the feature on this vision and what comes next 🤍

Thank you for having me, @thefemalefoundercollective ! I loved meeting so many of you! On this International Women’s Day, I’m in awe of the women behind this powerful event: @rebeccaminkoff @beckyminkoff @alikwyatt7 @avarybradford @elisaobrien__ @_marebear_ 👏 I was honored to be an Expert Advisor for the “Marketing + Brand Innovation” session at Female Founder Day, talking about one of my favorite topics: how to pitch yourself to the media. A big part of my mission is reminding female founders that we all have a story worth telling — so get out there and share yours. (In the last slide: me wearing my grandmother’s cream midi skirt to the kickoff dinner at the Golden Swan. She passed away on Women’s Day in 2018, which is incredibly poignant as she was a force in every way. ❤️)

So honored to chat with @jenmalone666 for Lunch At Barney’s - Jen is the brilliant music supervisor behind “Love Story” (among other hits like “Euphoria” and “Wednesday”). We chat about the epic ‘90s vibes in the show, from Seal to Sade, and soundtracking an era, a mood and NYC. 🗽PS: tonight is “The Wedding” episode! Any song predictions guys?

Brand love and some fun news!!! I recently started a copywriting contract with @ralphlauren - and so honored to contribute to one of the greatest brands of all time. ✨ A little manifesting in action: Whenever I would talk about marketing and fashion, I always named Ralph Lauren as a prime example of a heritage brand with global appeal, that’s still relevant and defining the moment. It is the moment. 🤌 So here are some of my fave parts of Ralph’s universe 🐎✨🧸

There’s something happening with matches and cigarettes, as branded objects. 💥🚬✨🪩 Have you noticed it too? They’ve always been a thing, but there’s a slow burn occurring as branded items. And although I was never a smoker, there’s something about the era of cigarette smoking I miss… read my latest issue of Lunch At Barneys, in the link in bio! 1- Cartier flatlay by @themillennialdecorator 2- Matches @thefrankieshop 3- Matches!!! @themillennialdecorator 4- Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface, via @pinterest 5- via @pinterest 6- Meryl Streep via @pinterest 7- @doechii in @cultured_mag 8- Goldie and Kurt, via @pinterest 9- @modaoperandi @raoulsrestaurantnyc 10- Flatlay by @themillennialdecorator 11- @cartier via @pinterest 12- Flatlay by @themillennialdecorator 13- via @pinterest 14- Carla Bruni via @pinterest 15- @rhode photo by @skinbyrhode

If you’ve felt like your career makes sense to you but it’s hard to explain it to others — this interview will land. The latest WWA newsletter is live, with @alwayskarin whose career has moved from marketing to journalism to founder whisperer. We talked about the years no one sees; building momentum quietly, creating proof before taking the leap, and learning how to trust your own throughline before anyone else validates it. This is the kind of advice you sit with. Especially if you’re in that inbetween chapter — not where you started, not yet where you are going but deeply aware of a shift. Check out the full conversation with Karin Eldor in the link in bio.
