Wonder Podcast: Empowering Women Entrepreneurs to Change the World

Brett Winn is the founder of Rave Collective, an LA-based entertainment marketing agency creating trailers and campaigns for major movie studios. After starting his career as a PA at FX, Brett spent 16 years building his business before taking an "epic shift" into his current venture. He shares his "Yes Lives in a World of No" mantra, a strategy he used to protect his team and spark new growth during a crisis. He and Kalika talk about choosing abundance over scarcity and why the biggest risks usually lead to the best results.

Benjamin Diedering is the founder and CEO of BDX Media, a content and video agency with offices in Leipzig, Los Angeles, and New York, and the creator of The New Trend Society, a global community for founders, creators, and marketers. He studied math and was headed for a teaching career in Germany before photography turned into something else entirely. In this episode, Benjamin and Kalika discuss what gives a brand feeling, why he walked away from an established agency to start over in Los Angeles, and what the city taught him in his first year there. They also get into building community through real-world experiences, running a creative team across a nine-hour time difference, and what he tells entrepreneurs who are thinking about taking that first step.
