5 conversations with 5 Smart Girls.

Andi sits down with Vanessa Farino — award-winning Latina entrepreneur, Forbes-featured marketing expert, and founder of Creative CEO, a media and events company helping women build brands with intention, clarity, and power.

From launching her first business at 15 to supporting a $25M fundraise and working with celebrity entrepreneurs, Vanessa’s journey is a masterclass in reinvention, purpose-driven leadership, and creating spaces where women truly thrive.

You’ll hear the behind-the-scenes of how Creative CEO came to life, the realities of navigating imposter syndrome (even after receiving major recognition), and how Vanessa uses Human Design to help women reconnect with their energy, values, and aligned business strategy.

✨ Vanessa shares:

Vanessa launched her first business at just 15. Creative CEO was born from a desire for financial control and community. Women are the primary drivers of the economy — and they deserve spaces that reflect that. Imposter syndrome doesn’t go away — even with success. Understanding your energy type is crucial to building a business that flows. Regulating your nervous system is an underrated business skill. Feedback builds inclusive, magnetic brands. Implementation > ideas. Every time. Investing in yourself is the first step to aligned success.
