0Chris Do explores the intersection of art and engineering with Lovepop co-founder and CEO Wombi Rose, the show's first guest to successfully secure Shark Tank funding. They discuss the grit required to pivot from a failing retail model to a $400 million e-commerce powerhouse and how high-level naval architecture training informs their intricate paper designs. Listeners will learn why failing spectacularly is often better than moderate success and how to use customer data to build a defensible creative brand.
