“Ignorance, people, is good! Jump in. Enjoy it. Ask the questions. Study. Learn. Be an eternal student. That's how you succeed.”
In this episode of Entreprenista, we sat down with Julia Haart, the founder of +Body by Julia Haart, a body-positive, technologically advanced shapewear brand that aims to empower women to unapologetically express themselves and feel confident in their own skin. Julia is a serial Entreprenista whose inspiring journey began when she left her orthodox community at the age of 42. Now, she stars in the hit Netflix series "My Unorthodox Life," a show that documents her extraordinary departure from her Haredi Jewish community and her journey to becoming a prominent figure in fashion and business. Since starting her entrepreneurial journey, Julia has created a successful shoe brand, served as Creative Director of La Perla, and now her latest venture, +Body by Julia Haart. Tune in and hear about Julia’s journey escaping her former ultra-orthodox community, the story of how she pitched her Netflix TV show, and a behind-the-scenes look at how she developed her new shapewear brand with feedback from her audience.
