Summary

As a child, Brit Morin’s parents struggled to scrounge up $20 for her to go on her class field trip. She quickly learned that if she wanted something, she’d have to figure out how to get it herself. She started cooking and doing her own laundry at 8 years old. This creative spirit led her to work for massive tech companies and eventually start her own multimillion-dollar lifestyle brand, Brit + Co. In this episode of YAPClassic, you’ll learn how to exercise your creativity every day, how Brit makes investment decisions as a venture capitalist, and how she raised funding for Brit + Co. You’ll also learn about Brit’s experience working for Steve Jobs and Google. Brit is a serial entrepreneur and venture capitalist. Her most well-known company, Brit + Co., secured over $50M in funding since its inception in 2011. She has been awarded various accolades, including Ad Age’s 40 Under 40, Adweek’s Creative 100, Forbes 30 Under 30, Fortune’s Most Promising Entrepreneurs, Refinery29’s 30 Under 30, one of Parents magazine’s Most Influential Millennial Moms, and one of ELLE magazine’s American Women at 30. Brit is the author of the bestselling book, Homemakers: A Domestic Handbook for the Digital Generation and has been a regular expert on Good Morning America, the Today Show, Live with Kelly & Ryan, Rachael Ray, and more.
