Exclusive Interview

F: What inspired you to create this business: Pretty Women Hustle?

J: I was inspired to create Pretty Women Hustle when I realized that entrepreneurs and authors need a platform that showcases your work regardless of what level you are at in your business. We realize everyone may not be able to hire a publicist but they desire to share their brand with the world.  We serve as that platform for creatives. 

F: What is the purpose and goal for this business?

J: We have built a strong community of female entrepreneurs that reaches a little over 2,000 female creatives.

F: PWH has published the first collaborative book: Pretty, Paid, and Powerful: 40 Days in Powering the Woman Within. What was the best and the worst thing in realizing this publication? 

J: The experience as a whole was amazing, to be able to bring 18 women together to share their stories was a dream. The difficult part was encouraging the authors to promote the book to their individual audiences. When releasing a collaborative book I have now realized the importance of ensuring each author believes in the project just as much as you do. Overall, I hope to create more collaborative books that include upcoming authors. 

F: What was the accomplishment since this book published?
