Back to School with Rebecca Minkoff

Updated: Aug 31, 2021

“In every life phase, you’ll be confronted with something that scares you. And you have to go into it being as fearless as you can.”

This week, I had the opportunity to interview designer and business icon Rebecca Minkoff in front of an audience of fifty New York University, Parson School of Design, and FIT students. After a great Q&A in June – where Rebecca shared advice with a group of entrepreneurs – she decided she also wanted to share her experience and business advice with the future generation.

We talked shop (literally) about everything from being confident and landing a job to starting your own business. Head to Forbes for my top five takeaways from my chat with Minkoff, and check out the live Q&A on Facebook.

Thanks to everyone who attended, and to NY Magazine and NY Post for covering the event!
