The She Leads Podcast: Real Conversations with Women Entrepreneurs

Confidence is crucial in both business and life. 
Vicky and Charisse are the founders of Dapper Boi, a clothing company that helps people feel comfortable in their own skin. Having confidence in yourself and your brand is essential for growing your customer base and funding. If you truly believe in yourself and your mission, you don't need to be a million-dollar brand to land investors and loyal customers. When you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin, you can show up as your authentic self in all facets of life and business. Dedicate yourself to your mission and values and take your entrepreneurial journey with confident strides!

👕 It all started when Vicky chopped off her hair and decided to come out and find her authentic self: she loved shopping in the men's department, but none of the clothes fit her. 02:05
👪 It's so beautiful to see parents supporting their children in their fashion expression. 05:38
❤️ Before entrepreneurship, Vicky was in casino marketing for a long time & Charisse was heavy in sales: they partnered with everything - family, home, and business. 09:06
🏡 Be confident that you are of value and align with investors who truly believe in you and your mission: Vicky & Charisse had weekly product launches in 2021, but it all stopped during the pandemic. 14:22
👖 A story of how Dapper Boi, and the values they represent, saved a life. 20:51
❤️  The right investor was the easiest to communicate with: customers regained faith - transparency saved the customer base. 26:41
✅ The brand is not lesbian, it’s mainstream: it's about fit and feeling competence in yourself. 28:57
📺  Vicky & Charisse shared their experience on Shark Tank: it aired on April 14th - go check it out!
