Hi everyone, I'm your host Hilary Kerr and this is Second Life, a podcast spotlighting

women who have truly inspiring careers.

We're talking about their work journeys, what they've learned from the process of setting

aside their doubts or fears and what happens when they embark on their second life.

Today I am really delighted to sit down with a woman who has made my life so much easier,

Susan Tainin, the founder and CEO of Framebridge, which is my go-to custom framing site that

is not an ad that is just a fact.

For those of you who don't know Framebridge, the company offers affordable custom framing

for everything from digital photos to original art to mementos and travel souvenirs, really

anything you can think of.

Best of all, they do it quickly and affordably which if you've ever had something custom

framed, you know is not normally the case.

Even more impressive, Susan has grown this business from zero to 450 employees in just

four years and she's raised $67 million in VC funding.

Of course, since this is Second Life, you probably guessed that Susan's background isn't

in the framing world and you would be correct.

Before she started her own company, she actually worked for a management consulting firm in

the digital health world for President Obama and for Taxi Magic, which is a Taxi on Demand

app.

Needless to say, she knows her way around an industry pivot.

I am so thrilled to share her story.

Now on Second Life, it's Susan Tainin.
