In this episode of Invent.FM, we interview Danielle Applestone, an entrepreneur on a mission to address inequality in the workplace. Danielle is CEO and co-founder of Daughters of Rosie, working with hardware and manufacturing companies that want to attract, hire, and retain diverse teams.
This was a wide-ranging discussion to say the least! We learn how she decides what to do and what to delegate, the importance of creating the permission to fail, the difficult work of DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), how she raised millions of dollars on Kickstarter after her DARPA-funded research was unexpectedly sequestered, and how to struggle less on your entrepreneurial journey.
