Women + Business Series

I know it has been around for a while but Jared and I recently started watching "Shark Tank." We are obsessed. Entrepreneurs come on the show and pitch business ideas to five potential investors. We've had some late night marathons of the show while Jared quizzes me on how much a company is worth if the entrepreneur is offering XX percent of a company for XX dollars and I pick his brain about royalties, added contingencies and other business-related talk.

But guess what? Out of the five investors on the panel in each episode, only one is a woman. What's up with that?

Over the next few weeks, I'll be sharing interviews with women who own and run their own companies. We'll discuss business ideas, the hardships of getting a business off the ground and what makes all the hard work worth it.

I'm so excited to share these interviews with you and discuss the nitty-gritty about starting a business. I've been feeling so inspired by these women and I think you will be too. I hope you enjoy!
