Business Remixed: Ep. 31: Fuerte and Fearless w/ Jeanette Guardiola-Woods

Ep. 31: Fuerte and Fearless w/ Jeanette Guardiola-Woods

Jun 15, 2021

Y’all, when I came across the Fuerte and Fearless clothing line, I fell in love with the brand, the message, AND the shirts! I HAD to know more about who was behind it all—and with a little investigating I connected with Fuerte and Fearless founder Jeanette Guardiola-Woods. She’s joining me this week to share about her passion—empowering people of color through fashion. Jeanette’s created a values-driven biz with a message that speaks for itself, embodying the authenticity of Latinx culture with shirt designs that transcend the expected.

In this episode, Jeanette shares why she started Fuerte and Fearless, the importance of building her brand (and not just a t-shirt company), and her choice to let the brand speak for itself as she finds a balance between behind-the-scenes and front-and-center entrepreneurship.
