Tibi founder Amy Smilovic joins us to discuss “Almost Reckless: A Creative and Pragmatic Approach to Taking Risks,” in which she invites you to get comfortable with embracing smart risks in pursuit of your own vision. She’ll be joined in conversation by Riley Blanks Reed, Godmothers’ head of storytelling.

Tibi, a cult fashion brand, was a thriving $70 million business when she realized she was working toward someone else's idea of success. So she threw out the rulebook of how things should be done and went with her gut instead.

Today, Tibi is more successful than ever, and all on Smilovic's groundbreaking entrepreneurial terms.

In “Almost Reckless,” she invites you to get comfortable with embracing smart risks in pursuit of your own vision. Sharing her story and drawing on her years of helping others identify their values and principles, Smilovic teaches you to hone your gut, and your trust in it.

With humor and practicality, she coaches you in how to determine what success means to you, including:

• why you don’t have to listen to the data guys
• why you should be a Creative Pragmatist
• why sticking to your principles isn’t incompatible with success
• why work/life balance is bullshit
