Summary

For Jenny Leung,  Founder of BellaNove, starting an e-commerce brand wasn't about playing it safe as her immigrant parents had wanted, it was about solving a problem that affected over 50% of the population.
 
In this episode, Jenny shares how her startup is disrupting the Maternity Apparel market; how being raised by immigrants parents has been a motivator; how gratefulness plays a part in her life philosophy, her advice to fellow entrepreneurs; and how starting a company out of grad school has been an opportunity to practice fearlessness.
