    NastyGal Founder: I Was A Stripper! A Shoplifter! Then Built A $400m Business! Sophia Amoruso | E239

    Sophia Amoruso, Emma Russo

    Entrepreneur Sophia Amoruso transformed a 2006 vintage eBay store into the million-dollar Nasty Gal empire before its 2016 bankruptcy collapsed the company and triggered a personal crisis. Drawing from her early struggles with instability, addiction, and financial naivety, she now channels her experience into the Business Class education program and the Trust Fund venture capital firm. Amoruso advises founders to prioritize sustainable bootstrapping and realistic valuations, leveraging her own failure as a critical lesson on the dangers of overvaluation and misaligned investor interests.
