What did Nasty Gal founder Sophia Amoruso learn from failure?

Sophia Amoruso, the founder and CEO of Girlboss, talks with Kara Swisher and Lauren Goode about launching a new company "in the afterlife": In 2015, she stepped down as CEO of her first company, Nasty Gal, and two years later, it filed for bankruptcy. Amoruso says Nasty Gal's ambitions were right but that she made several "naive" mistakes about fundraising, hiring and her own interests and strengths as a leader. She also shares advice for other female entrepreneurs and talks about the #MeToo movement, as well as the Netflix show about her past exploits, "Girlboss," which was executive produced by Charlize Theron.
