Podcast 241: From Burned-Out Marketer to Fashion Maven I’m not one to take big risks,” says Ellie Steinbrink, a Midwest marketer turned fashion maven, “but for me it was a no-brainer.” When COVID hit, Steinbrink realized that her professional success didn’t create personal fulfillment.”What I’m doing in my business is helping women develop their style brand,” she says. “I’m taking that marketing expertise [into the fashion area] because we all know that clothes have power, not just because they change how you feel about yourself, but they change how others perceive you”. In this episode, she shares the pivotal moments that led her to photograph and post her outfit everyday on Instagram until her destination became clear. You’ll learn her hard-won strategies for building a new business from the ground up and why it’s never too late to pursue what truly lights you up.

I had no idea what was about to transpire in 2020, amidst everything else happening with COVID that year, I lost my job, and then took a huge risk and started my dream business. It could be easy to think those 20+ years of my career I spent in marketing were lost. But the reality is, they shaped me exactly into what I needed to be to run this business. Listen in to this podcast about my reinvention!

"Intimate apparel" = bras, underwear, undershirts. Are socks intimate? 🤔 This is an ESSENTIAL part of our daily wardrobe and Nicole Cuervo is ON IT - in terms of wearability and ease of use. Great episode. Hope you can listen. #accessibility #fashion #women

I loved this Glossy #podcast convo between Jill Manoff & Felita Harris of RAISE Fashion. A powerfully important must listen. (Open thread) I have been thinking a lot about how we reimagine the conversation about diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging to counter the negative narratives (and decisions) across many industries. This podcast, and learning about the smart work RAISE does in the fashion world was a real shot in the arm to go from thinking to action - and the first item on my list is amplifying this particular pod (and these two thought leaders)! Felita drops awesome knowledge 💣s that has me rethinking so much, including how the #ForbesImpactLab can be an ally and help ALL voices in the #fashion industry. 💡💡💡 So if you have any interest in the topic, check it out. And if you have other resources on equity, inclusion and sustainability in the fashion industry that we should be paying attention to - I’d love to know them! #ForbesImpactLab #OptimisticFashiom #OptimisticAmerica #AppliedOptimism
