Retail Minded Joins TLC’s Girl Starter & Staples for TWEET CHAT on 4/27/17

Join Retail Minded’s Nicole Leinbach Reyhle and Audrey McClelland on Twitter tonight, April 27, 2017, as they discuss the premiere of TLC’s new reality show, Girl Starter, through a Twitter chat kicking off at 6 pm EDT.

Reyhle and McClelland will also be discussing the general state of women entrepreneurship – something both Reyhle and McClelland have experience with firsthand and are passionate about supporting others in their efforts to be female entrepreneurs.

As a female entrepreneur myself, I am excited to speak with others about the power and excitement of young women building their own businesses. It’s always been important to me to serve as a mentor to younger generations, and this is even more powerful for me as a mother to a young girl who aspires to be her own boss one day, as well,” shares Reyhle. Expanding on this, Reyhle explains that she looks forward to watching Girl Starter with her daughter and nieces, ranging in ages 8 to 15.

Girl Starter will document eight girls between the ages of 18-24 as they compete for seed-round funding. The series follows six steps of early-phase business building – from ideation through pitch – and features entertaining challenges, vibrant guest stars and a grand prize of up to $100,000 of investment and services. Additionally, viewers and fans can visit GirlStarter.com to gain inspirational, actionable content to help girls and young women build their own businesses. Supporting Girl Starter as a presenting sponsor will be Staples, who helps small business customers make more happen by providing a broad assortment of products, expanded business services and easy ways to shop. Additionally, Al Roker of Today Show fame will serve as an executive producer of the show.

One of the most inspiring things to watch is young people going after their dreams and creating viable business ideas at a young age,” shares Roker.

The show will premiere on Discovery Networks’ TLC on Friday, April 28 at 7 p.m. EST. Re-broadcasts will subsequently air on Discovery Family.
