Second Wind Women
by Karen Spies
The entrepreneurship media is obsessed with youth, venture capital, and scale-at-all-costs. But the women building the most interesting businesses right now aren't on the cover of Forbes, they're reading tarot in their converted garage, leading shamanic ceremonies on their back acre, stitching historically accurate Tudor gowns, and quietly making a living from things the startup world doesn't have a category for.Second Wind Women is for the woman who spent decades in a conventional career suppressing the stranger, more unique and interesting parts of herself, and finally said enough. These women aren't starting from zero. They're bringing hard-won organizational skills, professional networks, and decades of pattern recognition into businesses that are more magical, more meaningful, and frankly more them than anything they built for someone else.Women in their second wind are glowing up, getting out, and building something worth talking about. This is where we document it.
