Episode description

Gia Santos is a visionary entrepreneur and the co-founder of Bookspine. After a challenging journey through startup hell, she's back and ready to inspire. Gia’s story began at just 10 years old as a freelance writer and evolved through ventures in blogging, e-commerce, and health tech with her startup HeartSmart. In July 2020, during the height of the pandemic, Gia and her co-founder John Etchouse saw an opportunity to bridge the gap left by shuttered bookstores. They launched Bookspine, a platform designed to connect readers with their ideal books. Starting as a marketplace for secondhand books, Bookspine quickly gained momentum, onboarding sellers and captivating readers worldwide. Tune in as Gia opens up about her heartbreak and how she turned grief into growth.
