I sat down with Sophia Ruffolo, the founder and CEO of Femmebought, an online directory of women-owned businesses and a community that empowers more women to reach the top. We chat about the struggles female entrepreneurs face, some of our favourite local business owners, and the importance of failure and iteration. But my favourite part? We have a really important conversation on mental health both in the workplace and as entrepreneurs.

We sit down with Sheena Brady, founder and certified tea sommelier of Tease Tea, for Episode 02 of The Boldly Vulnerable Series. Sheena chats with Megan about how she began her business, the core values that have shaped her brand, and the importance of taking time for the activities that keep you motivated.

Welcome to Episode One of the Boldly Vulnerable Series, produced by In A Sequoia! We’re starting things off a little bit differently in Episode 01. Last week was the 11th annual Global Entrepreneurship Week and in celebration, In A Sequoia hosted a panel conversation on Mental Health and Entrepreneurship. The panel featured three incredible guests who boldly shared their story and experiences in front of a crowd of about 50 current and future entrepreneurs, and recorded it - LIVE - as our first official episode! Enjoy!!
