Summary

We’re joined by Christina Mace-Turner, Founder of Mab & Stoke, an herbal supplement company that combines centuries-old herbal medicine with cutting-edge technology to create the Mab Tab: a daily ‘super tab’ that takes the guesswork out of wellness to help you feel your most amazing self with a prophylactic formula. Christina is an expert at all things marketing, strategy, and brand building. Prior to becoming an entrepreneur, Christina led Business Affairs and Content Strategy at Apple when it was first launching the iPhone and app store. Knowing that she always wanted to be her own boss someday, Christina took the leap to lead a startup called Flipboard, to gain the experience she needed for her own business.  She finally made the pivot from tech to beauty and wellness by co-founding the non-toxic beauty brand, True Botanicals, prior to launching Mab & Stoke. Tune in as we lift the lid on the major differences between corporate and startup environments, and everything you need to know before leaving your corporate job to start your own business.  Christina’s journey is absolutely inspiring. Having always taken the alternate route in her professional life, she believes chasing her dreams and being intentional about every move has been her number one secret to success. Join us on her journey from career woman to entrepreneur, and learn how you can find your professional purpose by being dynamic and determined.  Links: Sign up for our free 10-day Instagram Challenge: bossbabe.com/instachallenge Get two free months of Skillshare premium membership and receive access to unlimited to over 1000+ classes: www.skillshare.com/bossbabe  Follow: @bossbabe.inc Danielle Canty, @daniellecanty Christina Mace-Turner, @mabmaker  Mab and Stoke, @mabandstoke

company she decided she wanted to get a taste of a startup world and in this

1:29.6

interview Christina really lifts the lid on the stark difference between the two and I actually think as a

conversation that has not had an awful lot because when you go from being a corporate to a startup even if your

Apple and starting up her own business straight away she decided to get
