Grace Bonney is the founder and editor-in-chief of Design*Sponge and the author of the beautiful new book In the Company of Women. 

In this episode, we talk about Grace’s new book and what she learned from interviewing over 100 female creative entrepreneurs, what was the most surprising, and what her goals were for undertaking such a project (with a super quick turnaround!). 

We also talk about the evolution of Design*Sponge and how she’s stayed true to her own voice throughout the years (even when it was risky to do so!). 

Bonus topics include: how she got over her fear of rejection, how she stays centered, and the value of different kinds of supportive communities. Such good stuff!! 

Thanks, Grace!
