Cisco Systems & Urban Decay: Sandy Lerner

Hey, it's Guy here, and before we start the show, I just want to let you know that we still have tickets available for our upcoming live show in LA. It's with Michael Dubin. He's the co-founder of Dollar Shave Club. It's an amazing story of how he turned that into a billion dollar company. And if you haven't been to a live show, they are so much fun. It's a chance to meet me and meet the team behind the show, and also a chance to meet your fellow HIBT listeners. So if you want to take it, go to nprpresents.org. That show is supported by American Express. And hope to see you there. I had to go get another job besides Cisco.

and we had only my income and we were mortgaged the house to the hilt, which we might have lost at any particular time. And we had creditors up the Wazoo and I had people calling me at two in the morning complaining because they didn't have their routers. Yeah, it was very hand mouth. In a way that I think that people who want to be entrepreneurs these days really don't understand.

It's how I built this. about innovators, entrepreneurs, idealists, and the stories behind the movements. they built. Guy Raz, and on today's show, how Sandy Lerner helped launch one of the most successful companies in the world. Why she had to leave it.
