476: The Real-Life Girlboss: How I Built Nasty Gal to a $100M Business

Nasty Gal went from an eBay side hustle to a business doing $100M in sales in under a decade. Behind it was the most famous “Girlboss” in America, Sophia Amoruso. She had no business experience, management training, leadership coaching, background in logistics, business financials, or running an online shop. Somehow, she built a business to heights few entrepreneurs ever reach, owning an extremely profitable clothing empire and finding herself on the cover of Forbes. But then, Nasty Gal went bankrupt. What happened? Sophia joins us on the show today to explain it all.

If you want to build a business, invest in one, or start a profitable side hustle, Sophia can help.
