Lovevery Co-Founder Jessica Rolph on Managing 'Micro Failures' at Work


Listen Later

Two-time entrepreneur Jessica Rolph is embracing what she calls “micro failures” at work. You know, when you say the wrong thing to a team member, make a mistake on a project, or you don’t communicate about something. These moments can feel small, but they can take a big toll on us. But Jessica believes it doesn’t have to be that way. As the co-founder of baby food biz Happy Family, which sold to Danone in 2013, and as the current co-founder of the child development company Lovevery, Jessica’s learned to push through the shame and lean into those moments to become a better leader. 


In this episode, Jessica shares: 

  • Why she scaled back on her friendships when she was working at Happy Family 
  • How she thinks about “micro failures” 
  • Why she was sad when they sold Happy Family 
  • A moment where she felt lost at work
  • When she decided to launch Lovevery
