  • Sustainable Fashion, Entrepreneurship, and Women in Tech | Alex Shadrow

    This week, we are beyond excited to have Alex Shadrow, CMO of List Perfectly, on as our guest! After starting her first business during her senior year at Boston University, Alex quickly established herself as an unwavering and assertive CEO before eventually moving on to join a woman-led company where she collaborates and expands with other strong women in tech. As a young woman succeeding in a male-dominant field, Alex is proof that true passion can drive the resilience necessary to overcome any boundary in business. In this episode, we chat with Alex about gender inequality in tech, sustainability in retail and beyond, and the importance of taking care of oneself in order to achieve real success. Alex is an absolute role model and we are so thankful to have had this conversation with her.

    If you like what you hear and want additional advice from Alex, she invites you to attend her Mentor Session this Friday, August 21st, from 10 AM to 12 PM PST. She’ll be discussing how to get a mentor, how to start a business, and how to grow your social media. Check it out here!
