Show Notes
You probably know Chantel Jeffries as a DJ, creator, and fixture in pop culture. What you may not know is that she's also been quietly building a track record as an investor.
Chantel wrote an early check into Poppi before its roughly $2 billion acquisition by PepsiCo. She's an early investor in Oura, backed Lolli, launched her own fund, Vizn Ventures, and was talking about Bitcoin back in 2017.
So how did she learn to spot opportunities early—and trust herself enough to put real money behind them?
Chantel joins Mary Holland to talk about what she looks for before backing a company, the difference between following a trend and recognizing a real opportunity, and how she learned to trust her own judgment even when other people underestimated her.
They also get into managing money with an unpredictable income, the lessons Chantel has learned from investing, and how to start thinking differently about the brands you already know and love.
