Episode 203: Finding Overnight Success in 8 Years with Piera Gelardi
Piera Gelardi is a total creative visionary and #BossBabe. She is the Co-Founder and Executive Creative Director of Refinery29. Now a new mama to baby Viva, Piera’s rise to the top of the media landscape began when she was only 24 years old. In this episode of The LIVELY Podcast, we chat with Piera about what sparked her to move from a small town in Maine to NYC, her YOLO moment to quit and join her crew in starting Refinery29, and more. Piera also chats about what she calls “girlfriend consulting,” or giving your best gifts away, and how it took Refinery29 several years to become an “overnight success.” This episode is not to be missed! We’ll also hear from LIVELY ambassador MJ Livingston, who had her YOLO moment to leave a stable job and join a new team where she is thriving and doing good for others with her new role by volunteering with GLO Good Foundation to provide oral health care to people in need.
