And we’re back! This week’s guest is Jena Gambaccini of ChiCityFashion. You’ve probably seen Jena around here before…creating half-assed meals and being the only person ever allowed to attend multiple For Reals Meals (it’s hard to say no to her). Jena’s been a big supporter of OPP since day one. And I’m really excited for you to hear her story.
Jena and I discuss why she hid ChiCityFashion from friends and family in the early days, what she learned about confidence and putting yourself out there, and the advantages of creating a city-specific website. Oh, and I also force her to reveal the new brand she’s been working on, which I’m really excited about. And we talk dogs (hers) and babies (mine!). Fashion, puppies, babies, and big reveals…sounds like a pretty perfect episode to me.

0:25.2 | inspiration. Sorry about last week. There was not a podcast and some of you might think it's because I |
0:32.3 | adopted a baby. I adopted my little baby Sid. But that's not real not the real reason why there wasn't a podcast. |
0:40.1 | The real reason why is because my computer crashed and I actually lost the episodes I recorded. |
0:45.9 | So I will be re-recording with Kelly Perkey and we will have those up soon. |
0:52.9 | And note to self, note to us. Back that shit up. I mean, |
1:00.9 | I back up like every two weeks, but sometimes it's not enough. You got to back up more. |
1:05.5 | But this week, I didn't lose this episode. This episode is with Jenna Gambassini. I asked Jenna how to pronounce |
1:15.0 | her last name properly. Gambacini and Gammachini, she said whatever I want. So I'm going to go with |
1:20.2 | Gambacini. Jenna is the creator and founder of the website, Shy City Fashion. She is smart and funny and savvy. |
1:29.7 | The interesting thing about this conversation with her is I always thought that she was |
1:33.1 | 100% confident with everything she does. |
1:35.4 | And she is confident, but she wasn't always that way. |
1:38.9 | And I like the backstory to her starting her website. |
1:42.2 | And I think it's kind of a good tip or kind of a good way around |
1:47.7 | being nervous to start something. I really liked what she said about that. And then get into a |
1:54.6 | little bit about one of her passions dog adoption. And then I kind of forced her to talk about her brand new company that she's launching |
2:05.3 | which she hasn't really talked about yet she hasn't made any sort of public announcement |
2:09.8 | or really even talked about it on her website and I didn't really know why and she told me |
2:16.5 | and now she's uh she's going to tell everybody about it, which I'm excited for you to check that out and hear her talk about it. |
2:24.2 | It's at the end of the podcast. |
