Summary

It's a special 'No Limits' 'Girlboss Radio' crossover episode! Sophia Amoruso is the CEO and founder of Girlboss. She coined that term with her bestselling memoir four years ago which has sparked an important and honest conversation about leadership and what it takes to build a business. Since the publication, #Girlboss has been used over 10 million times. For this special crossover episode, we met Sophia at her offices in LA where we talked about everything from her childhood in Sacramento, to how she turned an eBay store into a multi-million dollar company, what she learned from watching her life story (or some version of it) become a Netflix series, what happened when her business went bankrupt, and how she came out even strong on the other side. After you listen to this episode, head over to Girlboss Radio where Sophia interviews Rebecca Jarvis on the latest episode.

0:07.2	And they somehow caught wind of this thing called Nasty Gal.
0:10.1	And I didn't need them to invest.
0:12.5	We were fine.
0:13.8	But they seemed like really smart people.
0:15.8	And I did a lot of research.
0:17.2	I bought a book called How to Be Smarter Than Your Venture Capitalist.
0:20.4	It seemed like a
0:21.3	good deal, but what happened after that is a very kind of like fabled, long story to tell.
