Julie Wainwright

Julie Wainwright is one of the most influential and successful players in the world of on-line commerce. She was the face of the colossal growth of this space in 1998 and became the poster child for the industry crash when Pets.com tanked less than a year after its IPO. Seizing this failure and flipping it around, Julie came back with a vengeance in 2011 with The Real Real and now sits on top of the space again – stronger, more successful and with a sense of internal calm and peace that you can feel from a mile away. She’s petite and powerful and in this episode shares stories of how she came to the place she’s in and the monumental lessons along the way. What motivates people? Why do they do what they do? What does leadership actually mean in today’s world? Good questions, right? That’s what Cathy Brooks, thought. And it’s why she created Talk, Unleashed – a new podcast of entirely candid conversations with fascinating people doing remarkable things. This weekly podcast will feature guests from arts and entertainment to business to technology to food to activism to politics (well, we’ll see on that last one). Talk Unleashed invites these influencers to consider the things that have led to them to where they are, the lessons they’ve learned and how all those things can come together to create a better world. #UnleashedLeadership #TalkUnleashed #JulieWainwright #PetsdotCom #TheRealReal #Ecommerce #TheHydrantClub #DogTraining #CommunicationsCoaching #LeadershipCoaching
