Oh Hey, it's Guy here, and today we've got another episode from the How I Built This Summit that we held in San Francisco this past October. And this week we're featuring Katrina Lake, founder of Stitch Fix, a personal shopping service for women and men. My original interview with Katrina ran earlier this year, and if you haven't heard it, you might want to give it a listen, because Katrina's story is pretty amazing. She's built a billion dollar business. and is the youngest female CEO ever to take a company public.
But she's also one of those founders who didn't really set out to be a founder. Katrina and I sat down together in front of a live audience at the Airboinas Center for the Arts in San Francisco. So let's let's just start with your self perception. as you know, as an entrepreneur. Yeah, one of the interesting things that we we talked about briefly on the podcast, but we didn't go into too much detail on it was
You you didn't think of yourself as somebody who was gonna start a company and run a big organization and be a leader of all these people. Like that wasn't how you saw yourself and that wasn't your intention. I mean obviously you're doing it, but But why? Yeah, it's it is it's funny, I look back and it is one of the things that I'm you know passionate about of how can how can we make Entrepreneurship something that feels more accessible and more real to more people. Because I think I look back and in my childhood, like nobody thought I would be an entrepreneur and encouraged me to be an entrepreneur. Like my mom is a public or she just retired actually, but she was a public school teacher. My dad is a doctor in the public university system.
