The Business of Creativity with Sophia Sunwoo

Today we are sitting down with founder of Ascent Strategy - Sophia Sunwoo. Sophia believes it’s possible to live a life where your work gives you purpose while creating a world that you want to live in — a kinder, more inclusive world that puts people over profit. Sophia is a 3x startup founder (she founded her first company when she was 22!) and has been recognized by Forbes, African Business Review, and ELLE Magazine. From artisans to health coaches, Sophia is on a mission to help women-led startups off the ground. 

In this episode Sophia explains how she thinks of failure as “guardrails,” and how she has learned to let go of the expectations others have placed on her. I ask Sophia about the importance of mentorship and why personal growth is so essential for success. This conversation is all about embracing your gifts to unlock your greatest potential.
