Nana also recently dropped an ebook called “Social Media Tips I Wish More People Knew About” (in partnership with the social media platform Later).

In this episode, we discuss Nana’s top tips for anyone looking to improve their social media game, how she defined the voice of a social generation as the social media editor at The Cut, and she shares her advice for women pursuing a career in journalism.

Emily DiDonato is a globally recognized supermodel, known as the face of Maybelline cosmetics for eight years and as the global spokesmodel for the skincare brand, Biotherm. She is passionate about beauty, wellness, skincare, and promoting body positivity.

In addition to her modeling career, Emily is a skilled digital content creator who built a successful social media following across multiple platforms including Instagram (2.2MM), TikTok (365K+)  and YouTube (400K+).

In a bold move, Emily candidly shared her weight loss (and gain) journey in a YouTube video about body positivity, which went viral and continues to make waves. In March 2021, Emily added a new title to her resume, as the cofounder and Chief Creative Officer of Covey. 

In this episode, Emily and I chat about the role social media plays in the realm of body image, setting social media boundaries as someone with a large platform, dealing with imposter syndrome as a skincare brand founder, and why she launched Covey.

Caroline Spiegel is the CEO and cofounder of audio erotica platform, Quinn. Yes, you read right: Quinn is based on audio erotica, making it a "no visuals" porn site on a mission to help women orgasm and "finish first." Caroline studied Computer Science at Stanford (the interest in tech runs in the family -- her older brother is Snapchat CEO and cofounder, Evan Spiegel), before leaving during her senior year to start her company. She recently relocated from New York to Los Angeles where she can be found working on Quinn and hosting "The Quinn Show" podcast.

I sat down with Caroline to discuss what compelled her to launch Quinn, which topics are most popular on the site (she dives into the "daddy energy vs. boyfriend" content), how it's informed by "the female gaze", and dealing with imposter syndrome as a young female founder.
