Listen "08: Eliza Blank // Let’s Talk About #PlantParenthood"
Episode Synopsis
Eliza Blank founded The Sill because she understood that urbanites needed an easier way to find, acquire and care for their houseplants. Since quitting her job and launching her Kickstarter in 2012, Eliza has grown The Sill into an Instagram and eCommerce phenomenon raising over $13 million in funding, and expanding into multiple retail locations across the U.S. In honoring her personal ambitions as an entrepreneur, Eliza was also able to honor her mother, and the Filipino side of her heritage as a young girl growing up in a house full of green. Just like Eliza’s favorite plant, the resilient and fast growing Philodendron, The Sill has taken the world by storm, and I'm excited to share her, and its story with you! Tune in to hear about why Eliza feels like we should lean into our differences, and how she was able to use that as fuel for her fire. Eliza gives me a quick masterclass on fundraising, and asks all of us to embrace the idea of making mistakes. Head over to https://www.thesill.com/ and check out the amazing selection of houseplants that you can ship straight to your home!
