Elizabeth and I discuss what women could do with an extra hour in their day, advice she may or may not have taken from Mark Cuban, and Birdie's origins.

She created and evangelized a novel Partnering System, which was so successful it was recognized and promoted by the multi-billion dollar company's senior executives. They still use that system to this day.

Elizabeth has always had an entrepreneurial bug and co-founded Birdie, which launched in 2018, having since been recognized by SXSW, Vogue, Dallas Business Journal, D Magazine, and the recipient of several awards, including Best New Beauty Startup.
