From Supermodel To Super-Entrepreneur: Caprice's Take On Money, Business And Investing

Summary: Caprice Bourret is a mother, Supermodel, Motivational Speaker, Philanthropist, CEO and Founder of ‘By Caprice’. Caprice joins Unbiased Founder Karen Barrett and Nick McGrath for the first episode of Season 1 of The Unbiased Podcast to discuss what it was like to make the switch from model to successful entrepreneur. 

They discuss how she got investors to take her seriously in those early days, how to deal with challenges when you get knocked back and how to find solutions in the face of problems that arise. 

Caprice and Karen share their insights on how to use the opportunities that being a woman presents, and the key takeaway from this episode is to be resilient, keep going and learn how to take calculated risks.
