KU Hustle presents an episode recorded in front of a live audience that brings a Kansas farm girl back to her first home on the hill.
A conversation about the intersection of entrepreneurship, motherhood, and life. The ups, the downs, and everything in between. What started right here at KU eventually launched the well-known brand Kate Spade.
Elyce discusses how her education and Kansas work ethic prepared her for life as an entrepreneur. How success requires risk. How reinvention and tenacity make entrepreneurs great. How relationships inspire her and drive the success of her newest company, Frances Valentine.
Megh Knappenberger is one of the only artists ever licensed by the University of Kansas and has been commissioned for major corporate clients, including American Century Investments, and was trusted to create art with more than 30 carats of real diamonds. But before that, a significant event changed her perspective … and her career.
