Do you ever see a successful woman on your feed or in a magazine and think, wow, it must be

nice to have it so easy. Well, think again. Behind that glossy cover or smiling face is a ton of hard work,

countless failures, and endless learning experiences. I'm Rebecca Minkoff, and I'm here to tell you

that success isn't a walk in the park. It takes grit, resilience,

and a willingness to take risks. That's why I created Superwoman, a podcast that feels back to

varnish and gets into the nitty gritty of what it takes to make it as a woman in today's world.

From luminaries and game changers to women you've never heard of but should, this podcast is here to inspire you to take your next week, no matter how daunting it may seem.

We'll explore the sacrifices these women have made, the highs and loaves they've experienced, and the lessons they've learned along the way.

So if you're ready to be inspired and learn from some of the most successful women out there, join me on

superwomen. Together, we'll uncover the stories behind the successes and prove that with hard work,

determination, and a little bit of luck, anything is possible.

and helped countless founders. So I think she knows what she's talking about, and she's been

doing this for almost 30 years. She is one of the nicest, most pleasant, most giving people

I've ever met. So take a listen to Ms. Tina Wells. Tina, welcome to the podcast. As a dear friend. I'm so excited to have you on. I'm so excited to be here. It's taken forever, but I'm so excited. I know. And that's all my fault. No. It's like you mentioned before we started recording that you've been like this since you were 16. So I'd like you to tell me at 16, what were you like?

Because I feel like, I'm like, oh my God, this woman is so accomplished and she does so many

very different things, which we'll get into. But at 16, I guess you were doing very different

things. It's funny. I feel like I do different things that are all the same and all leading in the
