This week on THE SKINNY CONFIDENTIAL HIM & HER PODCAST…
( 1:25 ): Welcome back to TSC HIM & HER Show. This week we are joined by Tracy DiNunzio, founder & CEO of Tradesy. Tradesy is the world’s leading peer-to-peer marketplace for women’s fashion. On this episode we dive into starting a business with limited resources, building mental muscles to deal with failure and rejection, and receiving feedback in the right way.
( 3:15 ): SO excited because last night I’m met up with 75 of you to hang out and watch a movie. YOU ARE SO COOL! Many of you are meeting each other through the secret Facebook group which is awesome.
