Our goal with Startup Stories is to bring you a firsthand perspective of different business owners from all different stages of their business journey. From brand new startups to Fortune 500 companies, our stories offer valuable lessons for anyone navigating the bold path of being an entrepreneur. On this episode, we find out how Jenna Taskin, CEO of Bold NYC, took the leap from being number 3 in charge to number 1 in 2018 and became profitable in 1 month doing what she loves. She shares her perspective on being a young mother executive on Wall Street, influence from her entrepreneur parents, and her relentless passion for (lovingly) forcing every single person she meets to follow their dreams. From a professional standpoint, she dives into the importance of genuine branding and how to produce content that means something and not just content that takes up space. We're excited to share her advice on how to combat the doubts we all face when taking the leap and her insight on self-awareness being the most important step that too many founders skip.
