If you're a women business owner over 40, join the Dear FoundHer... Forum to find support, advice, resources and mentorship—JUST FOR YOU. It’s all inside, without the gatekeeping and without the overwhelm.
No amount of business success is worth sacrificing your integrity, and Rebecca Minkoff has the receipts to prove it.
Lindsay Pinchuk sits down with the iconic fashion designer to talk about what it takes to build a brand with staying power. From sewing her own bat mitzvah dress to creating a handbag that became a cultural moment, Rebecca traces the early hustle and the breakthrough wins that helped her build a fashion empire. She shares the story behind the unexpected challenges that came with scaling, and why she eventually sold her company, along with the rights to her own name.
They talk about the rise and fall of influencer marketing, how COVID nearly crushed her business, and why The Real Housewives of New York City ended up testing her values more than she ever expected.
This episode is a reminder that building a business isn’t about one big break, but about what you do next.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
