Hey guys, Sophia here. I am excited to introduce you to the latest new show in the Girl Boss radio network.

It's called Jump Start, hosted by my friend Jen Rubio, the co-founder of the ubiquitous luggage company,

Away, and a proper marketing genius.

It's a show all about breaking down the funding process for entrepreneurs and anyone curious about

pitching, venture capital, and the startup world.
