    22. Divya Gugnani On How To Avoid Business Mistakes, Balance Work/Personal Lives & The Best Advice She Ever Got.
    Divya Gugnani is co-founder and CEO of Wander Beauty – a company creating clean, everyday beauty essentials for wherever you wander. She is a serial entrepreneur, a mom, a business powerhouse and she’s here to share her very powerful knowledge and experience.  Little warning, there was a network issue at first (which you may hear), but that got corrected within the first few minutes. What I love about this episode (aside from the wealth of inspo & information) is the flow. So grab a tea, a snack, and get ready to listen to 45 minutes that flow like a conversation between 2 CEO friends. Check Divya out:
