Behind Her Empire Podcast: Create Millions By Solving Your Own Problem
On this episode of Behind Her Empire podcast, hear from Lizanne Falsetto, founder and former CEO of thinkThin, a better-for-you, high-protein nutrition bar for active women on the go. It's a company she led for over ten years and sold for over $200 million. She's now an advisor to small and medium-sized entrepreneurial companies in the natural food and wellness industries. She also founded Pink Talented Angels in 2019 to connect young female founders with seasoned professionals, in order to help them grow.
Key Takeaways:
- When founders build a brand to solve their own, personal problem, they're more emotionally connected to it, and therefore are more driven and efficient to bring that product or idea to market.
- Women need to support women in order to build tribal communication - and the warmth that comes with it.
- Falsetto self-funded the business and made sure that her receivables were 20 percent higher than her payables so what was coming in fueled what was going out.
"...so when you hit hurdles or when you hit the wall, just know that it is only teaching you something to learn. Pick it up and move forward."
"Females bring this huge depth of intuitive, emotional energy to the table that elevates a conversation in business."

Relativity Space, the Long Beach 3D-printed rocket maker, has unveiled plans to create a fully reusable rocket.
CEO Tim Ellis told CNBC that the move is an "obvious evolution" for the company. The announcement comes on the heels of a hefty $500 million round he closed in November.
"It's the same architecture, the same propellant, the same factory, the same 3D printers, the same avionics and the same team," Ellis told the outlet.

Looking for Bargains on Office Space? Prepare for Sticker Shock. Rents Are Higher Than Before COVID
Nearly a year into the worst pandemic in a century, Los Angeles companies expecting to snap up office space on the cheap may be disappointed.
L.A. office rents have held steady or even gotten pricier since COVID, even as more space has become available as most employees continue to work from home.
"I honestly thought rents would have dropped by now," said Michael Soto, research director at the brokerage Savills Inc. "For a lot of tenants, they are still seeing a bit of sticker shock that prices haven't dropped yet."
