I am honored to be great friends with Bridget Levine and share her amazing, courageous, and unique story with you.
Armed with a passion for fashion and a fiery love for dogs, Bridget Levine is the founder behind the renowned pet accessory brand, Frenchie, and was a Forbes 30 Under 30 finalist.
With just a $5,000 loan and a dream to bring functional and fashionable apparel to the French Bulldog market, she invented the first reversible harness specifically designed for Frenchies and small-to-medium-sized dogs.
What started as one design, has since expanded into more than 75 unique fashions and accessories resulting in a multi-million dollar business. Leveraging social media, she has managed to grow her Instagram account following to over 450,000+, with her @frenchie_bulldog business account now crossing 300K+ loyal followers and a strong community who eagerly follow and support her.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
