Hi everyone, I'm Hilary Kerr, the co-founder and chief content officer of Who Up Wear, and

this is Second Life, a podcast spotlighting women who have truly inspiring careers.

We're talking about their work journeys, what they've learned from the process of setting

aside their doubts or fears, and what happens when they embark on their second life.

Today I'm speaking with Ariane Goldman, the founder and CEO of Not One, but two incredible

companies.

In 2007, Ariane launched Two Birds in New York, a collection of bridesmaid dresses designed

to be wrapped in over 15 different ways to flatter women of all shapes and sizes, thus

killing two birds with one stone.

Then, in 2010, she saw yet another void in the market for chic, timeless pieces that

women could invest in during pregnancy and continue to wear afterwards.

And so, her second venture Hatch was born.

But before Ariane was coming up with industry-destructing ways to wardro women throughout their

various stages of life, she actually worked for American Express in the firm's global

marketing department.

I can't wait to hear about how, after eight years, she decided to leave her job in

a corporate world and create something of her own.

Now, on Second Life, it's Ariane Goldman.

We like to start at the beginning on this podcast.

So, what did you study in school and what did you think you were going to be when you

grew up?

Hmm.
