She Turned Her Passion into $10M in Raised Capital (And Put Money in the Pockets of Fashionistas)

For a long time, I held limiting beliefs about fashion. I used to think spending money on clothes was frivolous, that it wasn’t a “smart” investment compared to other things. But as I broke through these limiting beliefs, I realized that fashion wasn’t just about pretty clothes, it’s about self-expression and confidence. It’s a lesson that my guest today, Maggie Adhami Boynton, embodies perfectly. Maggie is the co-founder and CEO of ShopThing, a live shopping platform that merges fashion with cutting-edge technology. Her journey from the corporate tech world to running her own business is proof of the power of following your passion, even in the face of a male-dominated industry. In today’s episode, Maggie shares how she combined her love for fashion with her expertise in tech to raise $10 million in funding to build something truly groundbreaking for women who love fashion too.
