Welcome to this month’s feature in the FearLess Founders series!

 

Today we’re talking with Erin Carpenter, the Fearless Founder of Nude Barre! Nude Barre is a fashion company offering eco-friendly intimates made in 12 shades of nude to match every skin tone. 

 

Erin has seen it all! She worked as a performer and constantly ran into the struggle many performers see every day. There was a requirement to wear nude tights and undergarments, but no shades to match her skin tone. 

 

Erin saw the problem, and instead of continuing to struggle, she decided to do something about it! 

 

It was a 2 year journey that involved long hours, learning lessons, and a whole lot of navigating the entrepreneurial world, but here she is today with her garments popping up all over the place! She gained her following organically by reaching out to celebrities like Wendy Williams and sending her samples out for people to try. 

 

She recently went from bootstrapping all of her funding, to applying for and winning a pitch competition to get funded by Serena Williams and Bumble!

Welcome to Mary’s first solo episode! 

While Jamie is traveling to speak at a conference (or slacking off... just kidding!), Mary is taking the mic.

Corporate can sometimes get a bad rap, but it’s not all bad. In this episode, Mary reflects on skills from corporate life that have helped in entrepreneurship. 

Since Mary speaks regularly with women entrepreneurs on her VLOG for The Transitions Collective she thought it would be fun to share their insights with all of you!

So you have a copycat. Now what?

Do you ignore it? Do you get mad and fight back? Do you take legal action?

This week we’re shedding some light on something that’s all too common, but not really talked about out in the open.

Jamie and Mary have both had situations where people copied their work. While we don’t get into the nitty-gritty of each case, we talk about what the experiences were like and what steps (both legal and otherwise) that you can take if something like this happens to you. 

Have you ever had someone copy your work? How did you handle it?

Welcome to Jamie's first solo episode! The only way to describe how she feels is....

 

via GIPHY

While Mary is off vacationing, Jamie decided it would be a great time to chat about the lessons she learned from the last podcast episode with Niki Ramirez and to generally give her tips about growing and running a team.

We won't spoil all of the take aways, but suffice it to say, communication is the cornerstone of all strong teams. Check out this episode to get more of Jamie's tips!

The definition of Human Resources (HR) is all things that involve employees and quite frankly, it can be a scary couple of words for some small business owners!

Luckily, our guest today from HR Answers is Niki Ramirez. Her goal is to demystify HR and make it an area that is more comfortable for business owners. She makes things like hiring, managing, growing, training, terminating, etc - a little less scary! 

In the episode, we talk about what it looks like hiring your first employee, which includes things like putting together the perfect job description and throwing together an employee handbook. We also chat about another uncomfortable topic when it comes to having a team - providing feedback to employees. 

Are you ready to create or build upon the HR side of your business? Niki generously shared resources and samples for you to use as you navigate these topics.
