Summary

In this episode, I chat with the founder and CEO of Hill House, Nell Diamond. Nell talks about her career journey that started on Wall Street and included time at Yale SOM, the story behind Hill House, and the community formed around the Nap Dress. We discuss the lessons we’ve learned while working in finance, the anxiety within entrepreneurship, and the importance of setting boundaries when working for ourselves. We dive into life as a new mom and finding balance while caring for our children and working.


Key Takeaway / Points:

  • The story behind Hill House and where the idea came from
  • How she built a community around an item of clothing (the Nap Dress)
  • How working at large financial institutions shaped us for our later careers
  • Anxiety and responsibility involved in entrepreneurship
  • Finding balance as a new mom
