Giulia and Julie are breaking down the emotional mindset behind business decisions, the importance of trusting your gut, and how to balance strategy and intuition as a female entrepreneur.
They also share personal stories, mistakes, and what we’ve learned from interviewing powerful women across industries.✨
If you're dreaming of launching something, but feel overwhelmed, this episode is your sign. In today’s episode, Giulia and Julie are diving deep into starting a business — not just the idea, but the people behind it.
- How do you choose the right co-founder?
- Should you go solo or build a team?
- Is it risky to start something with a friend?
- And why are women often hesitant to ask for what they need — like “Hey, can you give me 10k?” — while men just go for it?
