Famous Founder Failures (Before Success) | SUCCESS (opens the original)
Read excerpt

For 13 years, Kristin Carver Smith’s job was to make sure other people got noticed. As a publicist and founder of The New Fashioned Co., she spent her days at a laptop, shaping messaging and pitching journalists on behalf of thought leaders and brands. The work was relentless and, for a long time, thrilling. “I’ve never had a boring day before,” she says. Then the days turned dangerous.
