Monique Rodriguez: Mielle Organics Founder and CEO

Chelsea Hirschhorn is the founder and CEO of the fertility, pregnancy, and infant product company Frida. Chelsea originally worked as a lawyer, first as a bankruptcy attorney during the 2008 financial crisis, and then as associate counsel and director of special events for the Miami Marlins. But after a few years, she realized that she’d built a self-sufficient business at the Marlins and started to think about other opportunities for growth. At the same time, she’d started a family, and when her son got his first cold, she pulled out a Swedish nasal aspirator called a NasFrida that her neighbor had gifted her a few months prior. She used it and thought, “Why isn’t this product available in every corner of America?” As it turned out, the neighbor, who had a business importing and selling NasFridas, was looking to sell theirs and close up shop. Chelsea took a risk, bought the stock, and the NoseFrida was born. She quickly got the product into pediatrician’s offices and began sourcing and creating new ones. Today, her company, Frida, has over 150 products; is available in major retailers like Target, CVS, and Walmart; and is carried at more than 430,000 distribution points in 45 countries. The brand offers postpartum solutions, fertility aids, and recovery kits for C-sections and incomplete pregnancies. Today, Frida is known as a massively helpful brand for new parents and hopeful ones.

Kristen Faulkner is a cyclist and the 2024 Olympic champion in the Women's Road Race and Women's Team Pursuit. Faulkner grew up playing sports in rural Alaska and was recruited to row crew at Harvard. After graduating with a degree in computer science, she moved to New York City and worked for a venture capital firm, identifying early stage software startups for investment. She missed competing and being part of a team, so with a recommendation from her friend, she took an introductory cycling class in Central Park. She quickly realized she loved the sport and started training before work and on the weekends. She competed in amateur races and hired coaches to help her perfect her form. In 2020, she was invited to join a women’s professional racing team based in San Francisco, and over the next four years, she trained extensively, using her VC brain to analyze her performance. She notched several professional race wins, and after deciding to quit her VC job to pursue cycling full-time, she moved to Europe to train. This summer, she competed in the Women's Team Pursuit and Women's Road Race events in the 2024 Paris Olympics, bringing home gold medals in both categories.

Emily Nagoski is a best-selling author, researcher, and sex educator. Emily studied psychology in college, and a fateful job as a peer health educator drew her immediately to the field of sex education and violence prevention. She went on to receive a master’s degree in counseling psychology and a PhD in health behavior. After working as a researcher at the famed Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, she took a job at Smith College, where she lectured and was the director of wellness education. After teaching a class on women’s sexuality, the thing her students said they took away most from the class was that their bodies were normal. She knew that she was onto something powerful and wrote Come as You Are: The Surprising New Science That Will Transform Your Sex Life to help women understand their own sexuality. The book was a huge hit, and eventually, Emily left her job to write and speak full-time. Over the last five years, Emily has written two more books, including this year’s Come Together: The Science (and Art!) of Creating Lasting Sexual Connections.
