Other Mothers: Lisa Sugar, Founder of PopSugar and Partner at Sugar Capital.

It's OK to make your family visible in your business, include your kids in work opportunities where you can, your calendar is the key to showing up, and parenting tweens and teens is awesome.

I can’t imagine there’s a single one of you out there who isn’t familiar with PopSugar, the media company founded by Lisa Sugar as a pop culture blog back in 2006. Lisa is a powerhouse author, media personality, and venture capitalist who is also mom to three tween- and teenage daughters. Lisa has managed to achieve tremendous success as an entrepreneur and founder while also showing up for her girls— and indeed, has found ways to consistently integrate her daughters into her professional life and accomplishments. I loved hearing Lisa’s story about launching and growing PopSugar as a full-family affair— and I loved the way in which she used her own experience of motherhood to shape the work culture of her team. Plus, Lisa shares insights on scheduling and prioritization, gets vulnerable about challenges she confronted as a founder and the support team it really took to make things work, and spills on her experiences parenting tweens and teens (spoiler alert, it’s great!).

Take a look at some of my favorite snippets from my interview with Lisa, below— then scroll down for audio and video of our full conversation!
