The best business ideas are often born out of a desire to fulfill a need, and our guest today knows a little something about that.\\xa0

\\xa0

Jessica McPhaul got her start making costumes for a small youth theatre in Arizona when she was 16.\\xa0 A few years later, she moved to LA to attend fashion school and has been working steadily in film/tv ever since...including some shows that you\\u2019ve probably heard of including Dancing with the Stars and House of Cards.

\\xa0

Her fashion background, combined with a gap that she noticed in the industry, led to her launching not one but TWO different companies - Heywood and Ringo (the custom suit company she launched with her husband) and Naked Rebellion (the women\\u2019s intimate line with a shade of nude for every woman on the planet).

\\xa0

The stories behind these two companies are so cool and I can\\u2019t wait for you to hear them! And my hope is that today\\u2019s conversation will help get YOUR wheels turning, because there may just be a need that YOU could fulfill with your next big idea.

In this episode we talk about:

  • How Jessica\\u2019s experiences working in fashion + costume design inspired the two businesses she started\\xa0
  • The gap she noticed in the lingerie market that wasn\\u2019t meeting the needs of real women
  • Using our purchasing power to support small business this holiday season!\\xa0
