What does it take to turn a bold idea into a billion-dollar brand? Julie Wainwright, founder of The RealReal, joins us to share how she did just that—after enduring some pretty public failures (hello, Pets.com). She talks about navigating the startup world, tackling ageism head-on, and why your past doesn’t define your future.
Julie’s story is packed with wisdom on risk-taking, confidence, and what it really means to build something new when everyone else is telling you no. From the boardroom to the resale boutique, she takes us through the emotional rollercoaster of entrepreneurship—plus a few secrets on why luxury goods are more than just a pretty label.
Also in the basement:
We unpack Jason Zweig’s latest Wall Street Journal column on diversification and why it still matters (yes, even in this market).
OG learns a Father’s Day lesson on the golf course (spoiler: not all swings are created equal).
Doug manages to work in Margot Robbie. Again.
Whether you’re plotting your own business empire or just wondering how someone not only recovers from flaming sock puppet-level failure, but who THRIVES afterward, this episode delivers honest insight with a side of style.
FULL SHOW NOTES: https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/from-business-idea-to-execution-julie-wainwright-1703/
Deeper dives with curated links, topics, and discussions are in our newsletter, The 201, available at https://www.stackingbenjamins.com/201
