11. The Messy, Magical Middle: Keeping Your Motivation in the Entrepreneurial Journey

The entrepreneurial journey can be harder, longer, and more trying than you ever expect. How do you keep your motivation high when you're in the building stage—not the everything-has-worked-out stage? Diana Nguyen, CEO and founder of Madison / Savile, a lifestyle brand of women's blazers and suits, joins us to discuss.  Diana left the corporate world three years ago to take on the challenge of reinventing a woman's blazer. She shares about building a fashion line in a pandemic, moving the finance industry to the fashion industry, and fine-tuning hundreds of iterations, fittings, and fabric swatches in pursuit of the perfect blazer. Hear how she navigates entrepreneurial curveballs, handles setbacks, and keeps purpose front and center through it all.  Madison / Savile is designed to inspire women by armoring them from the outside and building them up from the inside.
