Building a business requires A LOT of work, but when it aligns with your values and integrates well with your desired lifestyle, it can be really fun. 

Emily McDonald started Stylist LA out of a rolling rack in her living room in 2009. She raised venture capital and grew it to be a 7-figure business, before pivoting in 2020 to an online business.

Ankita Terrell was a fellow in venture capital and has worked across venture-backed startups, a massive analytics firm, and with non-profits. She’s directed millions of dollars of funding towards socially conscious businesses working with companies such as Google, Microsoft, S&P, and others.

Now they are both co-founders of My Founder Circle, a community that supports female founders while they start, grow, and scale their companies.

Our conversation fruitfully talks about their journey along with the topics below:

• The importance of community as a founder


• What is work-life integration and what does a successful mix of that look like?


• What is a value-driven business and how do you create one? How does one establish their personal values?


• Burnout as a business owner and how to avoid it


• Strategies to help with overwhelm


• Self-worth in business


• How can we help women make more money?


• Perspective on business pivots


• Perspective on “failures”
