In this powerful episode of She Believed She Could Podcast, host Allison Walsh sits down with serial entrepreneur Rebecca Matchett to talk about how she has repeatedly built successful companies by trusting her instincts, solving real problems, and building the right team around her.From co-founding iconic fashion brand Alice + Olivia, to reinventing women’s sizing with TrioFit, to now launching Synchrony, an AI guided social app designed specifically for neurodivergent adults, Rebecca’s journey is a masterclass in mission driven entrepreneurship. She shares how she moved from fashion to tech, why she believes lack of “traditional” experience can actually be an advantage, and what it really takes to bring a vision to life in a totally new industry.You will hear a candid conversation about trusting others with your ideas, navigating app development as a non technical founder, handling missteps as learning experiences, and staying anchored in your why when the path ahead feels unclear.
