Summary

This week on The Exit: Among everything Sara Hirsh Bordo has done in her career, from being a marketing executive at Paramount Pictures and MGM Studios, the owner of several acquired businesses, and a 15x award-winning filmmaker, she might now mostly describe herself as an impact-focused creator. Through her production company, Women Rising®, which was named as one of the most “Innovative, Interesting, and Purpose-Driven Women-Led Startups to Watch” by Inc Magazine, Sara has used her storytelling skills to become an advocate and a mentor for female founders and women-led companies. As far as how she chooses what businesses to get involved with, she says “I start things because I think they’re missing. I don’t start things because I think I can do them better than somebody else”. While her exits are accomplishments in themselves, she defines her success in entrepreneurship more as building something behind messages she believes are needed. For more details and insights from her entrepreneurial journey, listen to the latest episode of The Exit. Sara Hirsh Bordo is a 15x award-winning filmmaker and Founder/CEO of empowerment production company Women Rising®, named "One of the Most Innovative, Interesting, and Purpose-Driven Women Led Startups to Watch” by Inc Magazine.
