Summary

#814. Rebecca Minkoff built a global fashion empire before social media, online shopping, or going viral was even a thing. Her bags defined 2000s style (Lindsay Lohan, we’re looking at you), and she’s tackled both the highs of the fashion world and the drama of Real Housewives of New York City. Now, she’s telling it all—from hustling door-to-door in the early days to nearly losing everything during COVID. She clears up misconceptions about her beliefs, shares her most cringe-worthy fashion week moment, and reveals which celeb she needs to see carrying one of her bags. Plus, her new book Fearless is here to help female entrepreneurs take on any challenge. Don’t miss this one—tune in now!
