Meghan Ritchie and Tiffany Zhong turned their passions into careers. The two young entrepreneurs join Cheddar to give advice and perspective on how to lead and grow as a female inventor and trailblazer.
Zhong became a venture capitalist at just 19-years-old. Now, she has taken her experience and expertise with Gen Z to her own consumer insight firm, Zebra Intelligence.
Ritchie loved baking baked goods and started selling Megpies as a fun side hustle. Once it started to take off, she completely dedicated herself to the idea. Now, Megpies sell in Starbucks across the United States.
Space tourism company World View plans to launch its first commercial flights in early 2024, with voyages to take off from iconic locations around the world like the Grand Canyon — but seemingly at a flexible price point. Dale Hipsh, president of tourism and exploration at World View, joined Cheddar to discuss what a trip to the stratosphere would look like with his company and its much less expensive take on space travel. "Our technology allows us to be more democratic, to offer more opportunities for people to experience near space, and that overview effect," he said. "So we're really thrilled to be bringing it to market."
