“So the tools that are being used behind the scenes that are hopefully reducing administration costs and that will hopefully trickle down to our costs as health care consumers. But I think where it really gets exciting is applying AI to what we call personalized medicine.”
‍In this episode, we’re joined by Halle Tecco, founder, investor, professor, and author of the new book Massively Better Healthcare. Hallie has done it all: she founded and sold women’s health company Natalist in under three years, launched one of the first venture funds focused on healthcare tech, invested in over 50 healthcare startups, and now teaches at Columbia Business School while advising the next generation of founders.Halle shares the lessons she wishes every healthcare innovator knew from day one—why great ideas often stall, how to de-risk a business without dimming your ambition, and what truly separates breakthroughs from dead ends. We dive into her journey of publishing a book without an agent, why healthcare’s biggest challenges can actually become a founder’s moat, and the four emotional stages every entrepreneur cycles through while building a company.

“If you're already going through health issues and hormonal changes, I don't want you to have to, you know, dip into savings to do this for yourself. I really wanted it to be accessible”
‍What if your hardest battles became the blueprint for your greatest impact? For Demi Schweers, a former teacher turned Entreprenista, that’s exactly what happened. After being diagnosed with MS in 2020—followed by infertility, pregnancy loss, IVF, and a PCOS diagnosis—Demi began sharing her story online simply to find support. What she built instead was a global community of women who saw themselves in her vulnerability.That community became the catalyst for Iris, a women’s wellness brand redefining what it means to hydrate with intention. Rooted in empathy, science, and lived experience, Iris was born from Demi’s late-night symptom flares, early-morning product testing, and a deep desire to make hormonal and gut health more accessible. Co-founded with another female founder, Iris is a testament to what can happen when storytelling, purpose, and community collide.
What we talked about:
Early Jobs and Giving Back [2:58]
The Diagnosis [5:41]
The Partnership [12:06]
Marketing for Iris [18:48]

“I think one of the things that you have to be sure of is, like, money actually makes your problems way worse. Like, you can light money on fire very quickly. If you don't have something that's already proven that's working, then you're going to add more”
What happens when a personal stylist with $300 in her bank account accidentally sparks an entire industry? In this episode, we go beyond the headlines with Amber Venz Box, the co-founder and president of LTK, the $2B platform that transformed personal blogs into global businesses and helped define the modern creator economy.

For the first time publicly, Amber opens up about the parts of her journey she’s never shared — from pitching her first round of funding on a bar stool in an Irish pub, to building one of the most powerful creator-commerce engines in the world, to the painful moment she was sidelined inside her own company. You’ll hear how she navigated early monetization when “blogger” wasn’t even in the dictionary, the traps founders face when fundraising, and why she’d use ChatGPT today to decode term sheets line by line.

“But at the end of the day, like, you know your business the best. And just as you've proven to yourself so quickly building this business, there's no one who knows your brand and your business better than you do.”

JoJo Fletcher and Mallory Patton, co-founders of Saint Spritz, turned an Aperitivo-hour obsession into a fast-growing, better-for-you canned cocktail brand. With zero beverage industry experience but endless creativity and determination, these sisters-in-law built a women-founded, family-run company now found on Target shelves nationwide.

In this inspiring conversation, JoJo and Mallory share how a trip to Italy sparked their idea, how they navigated the wild world of beverage compliance and distribution, and why trusting your gut (even over “industry experts”) became their secret weapon. You’ll hear how they built their brand brick by brick—balancing motherhood, partnership, and perfectionism—and how their “departure in every can” philosophy turned into a cult-favorite lifestyle brand.

What we talked about:
Building Saint Spritz [5:30]
Having A Mentor [10:50]
Making The Consumer Buy In [17:38]
Using Different Promotional Platforms [27:22]
