Jenn Aubert.jpg

"When you’re looking for support or inspiration look to the iconic figures for inspiration, but don’t forget the women just a few steps ahead of you on this journey. They have so much to offer. Also look to different people for different needs. It’s nearly impossible to learn everything from just one or two people."

- Jenn Aubert is author of the book 'Women Entrepreneur Revolution: Ready! Set! Launch!' She is a licensed acupuncturist with a thriving practice in San Francisco. She lives with her two favourite guys, her husband and son. Always in search of her next challenge, she is launching a company focused on educating, empowering, inspiring and connecting women entrepreneurs so they can thrive in business and in life.
