Thrive Causemetics Founder Karissa Bodnar on Why You Need Real Friends as a Leader
Karissa Bodnar once got advice from a peer – she needed real friends, not just “deal” friends. It wasn’t a dig. Entrepreneurship is lonely. And if Karissa was going to make it as a founder, she’d need friends who cared about her and not the number of zeros in her bank account. Karissa sits down with us to share how she found those kinds of friends, the time she got ghosted out of a big investment, and what she really thinks about those beauty influencer trips.
In this episode of 9 to 5ish, Karissa also shares:
Why she affectionately refers to herself a “dirt road diva”
How growing up in a small Washington town shaped her entrepreneurship
How the passing of her friend, Kristy, inspired her to start Thrive Causemetics
The lesson she learned from being ghosted by a potential investor
