In this episode of Beyond the Business Suit I had the opportunity to interview my friend, Lauren Maillian. With titles like former model, winery and vineyard co-founder, investor, best-selling author and TV personality, Lauren knows quite a bit about success, entrepreneurship and reinvention.

MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:

• Early indicators that showed she was destined for success
• How she started a vineyard and winery at 19 years old with zero operations or business experience
• How she handled opening a winery and tasting room to the public while being pregnant and in her senior year of college
• How she successfully shifted her personal brand several times
• Lauren’s new TV show called “Quit Your Day Job” which will premiere on Oxygen on March 30th and every Wednesday at 10 PM. In the show, she’s co-hosting with Randi Zuckerberg (yep, Mark’s sister, former Marketing exec at Facebook and best-selling author), Ido Leffler (co-founder of  “Yes To”natural skincare line) and Sarah Prevette (serial entrepreneur and cofounder of Sprouter, Betakit and BrandProject)
