There’s long been debate whether one is genetically predisposed to succeed as an entrepreneur, or whether those qualities and skills are developed. Sisters and entrepreneurs, Ashley M. Williams and Connaé Pisani, make a good argument for the former. On this week’s edition of StartupNation Radio, your host, Jeff Sloan, sits down with both Williams and Pisani to learn more about their entrepreneurial ventures.
To kick off the episode, Jeff chats with Williams, who is a strategist, spokesperson, consultant and speaker for brands that want to reach millennials.
She is the founder and CEO of RIZZARR, the Millennial Marketplace.™ Through RIZZARR, Williams sources and distributes content to a millennial audience, a target market that ranges from ages 19 to 37, to make a positive impact on the world.
Throughout the show, Williams discusses:
- The meaning behind RIZZARR
- RIZZARR’s business model and revenue model
- What prompted her to start RIZZARR
- How mentorship has guided her entrepreneurial growth
- What’s next for RIZZARR
