b'Now, if you\'re someone who\'s always on the go, looking for a way to consume the day\'s\\xa0top new stories in the fastest way possible, you may already be a subscriber to this or you\'ve\\xa0heard about it, but you have to check out\\xa0theSkimm\\xa0- one word. It\'s a free, daily email\\xa0newsletter that goes out each morning, gives you all the important news across subject lines,\\xa0and party lines. It is simple, and kind of a sassy roundup of the latest news stories with fresh\\xa0editorial content catering mainly to a young female audience. It\'s fun to read, easy to\\xa0understand, easy to explain to a friend after work at a happy hour, what\'s say going on in\\xa0Greece or the latest in the electoral race.And I\'m not only a fan, I guess you could also say I\'m sort of a contributor to theSkimm. In my\\xa0partnership with Chase Slate, the brand partnered with theSkimm to create some cool and\\xa0interesting editorial content around financial fitness that I helped create. So I\'m very proud to\\xa0introduce today\'s guests, the co-founders of theSkimm. They are friends, Danielle Weisberg and\\xa0Carly Zakin and you\'re gonna love their story. Carly and Danielle, they originally met in Rome,\\xa0they were studying abroad, it was a rainy day and they were both studying in Rome, they were\\xa0in college.Years later they reconnected in New York as they were both producers for NBC News - how\\xa0bout that? And they not only became fast friends again, but they also became roommates and\\xa0co-founded theSkimm from their living room couch. Both of them have now been included on\\xa0Forbes 30 Under 30 List this year. They were honored by Goldman Sachs Builders and\\xa0Innovator Summit as one of the most 100 Intriguing Entrepreneurs in 2014. Danielle is a Tufts\\xa0grad; she hails from Chicago. While Carly is a New Yorker who attended the University of\\xa0Pennsylvania. And what brought them together and what really sparked theSkimm, was and is\\xa0their passion for news. And so these ladies are just a force to be reckoned with, and they\'re also\\xa0really relatable. I loved talking with them.
