theSkimm Founders Carly Zakin and Danielle Weisberg

Carly and Danielle quit their jobs at NBC News without a product and only two months worth of savings in their bank accounts.

And Oprah’s not alone -- theSkimm has grown to over one million subscribers, and the founders are well on their way to turning news into a lifestyle brand.
