How to Build What You Wish Existed with TheSkimm’s Carly Zakin & Danielle Weisberg

When Carly Zakin and Danielle Weisberg hit send on the first Daily Skimm email from their couch, they had no funding and no business background—just a clear vision and the courage to build what didn’t exist. That one email grew into TheSkimm, a trusted digital media brand that now reaches over 16 million women and was recently acquired by Everyday Health Group. In this episode, we talk about what it really takes to build something from the ground up: the late nights, the doubt, and the mindset to keep going when no one else sees the vision. They share the leadership lessons they learned the hard way, the power of partnership, and why betting on themselves was the smartest risk they ever took.
