Spirit of 608: Fashion, Entrepreneurship, Sustainability + Tech


Mar 7, 2019

It's easy to spend your life reading, researching and listening to savvy advice for your future entrepreneurial greatness. But putting it into action? That's where it's easy to fall short. But not for this week's guest, a FEST founder who's quickly building a sought-after collection of core wardrobe basics made using materials that incorporate eucalyptus and other plant fibers while sticking it out at her (very enviable, as it happens) day job working with a top New York-based fashion brand. Listen to the episode to hear how she's putting sage business advice from female entrepreneurs such as Nathalie Molina Niño into practice everyday to build a lean, yet oh-so-stylish startup from the get go.

Meet this week's guest, Andrea Seemayer, Founder of A. Lynn Designs.
