You may know today’s guest, Whitney Wolfe Herd, as the youngest woman to take a company public, but before that, I’ve known her as my friend and peer from college at SMU. So today, while we certainly dig into the business side of things, I wanted to focus on topics that you haven’t heard Whitney answer yet. Whitney Wolfe Herd is the founder and executive chair of Bumble, Inc., an online dating and networking app that changed the way people date, creating meaningful relationships & networks with women making the first move.
Whitney and I discussed the important qualities of a successful entrepreneur, her genius marketing campaigns, what it was like to IPO, and how it feels to have Lily James play her in a movie. We also chat about how to find a healthy balance between the many facets of life, especially with a demanding professional life. Lastly, Whitney answers some fun questions from you, the audience!
