Today, we're sharing the first episode of MNN's newest podcast Social Currency with Sammi Cohen.
In her first episode, Sammi sits down with entrepreneur Ty Haney. Ty shares what she wishes she knew as a first-time founder while building the brand Outdoor Voices, the dark side of VC and the most important lesson she’s learned on equity as a founder. She also shares the latest on her new ventures—Joggy, a clean energy brand, and TYB, a platform redefining what community-powered business looks like.
If you've ever launched, led, or lost something you built, this one will hit home.
