The Lifestyle Edit Podcast17. What An MS Diagnosis Taught This Magazine Owner About Taking RisksToday on the show I’m talking to my friend, Alison Engstrom, founder of Brooklyn-based, print magazine, Rose & Ivy.
From the very first discovery of her mother’s copies of Vogue, she was entranced by print and moved to New York from Charleston, South Carolina with the hopes of securing a role in the beauty department of one of the women’s magazines. But this all happened against the backdrop of the recession. Nobody was hiring and it was the start of teams shrinking and the closure of many of the beloved magazines we’ve all grown up with.
