Few people’s careers have intersected with as many media legends as Susan Lyne. From Jane Fonda and Martha Stewart to Shonda Rhimes and Patty Hearst. These days, Lyne has a fund called BBG Ventures — which stands for “Built By Girls” — and is focused on funding female entrepreneurs. Walk the Lyne. In this interview, Susan shares everything she's learned about gender in business. From getting fired from ABC despite an epic run of programming and promises made to give her more power. One things for sure: "You can’t sit back and assume you’re going to succeed. Sometimes it takes a fight.” [Get inspired and read the rest of the interview.](W8QjvRs68kDW7W2Qxf7X1Qyzls0/*N18B6FJtMY8NW3gGxGY4dS4Zk0/5/f18dQhb0Sq5y8Y9-zHW5GYyXB5D47MtW243Lkl2SwwRDW2QltSP63WSgxW5q9cPw8yym7NW5yMlsh1kc3JFVQzLcr8tC16DW5Drlvf7dDYjtW1njGYf5DbjpRW7c-DRS4s9DfwW4s2Mvy96zXjpW69_m9V2JS8JVW6bnMQZ2ysmkHW61SSZm7dDxTNW7mWsnX7dzcsSW51vDDW1bwwwgW5rC5Q63lzN6vN2hYNX2HcPQ4W7xzZ0b2zqdGVVYSX-57m_B1RW5c8d-S3785g6W5XDMJw2TZW9mW1nK_663M3J66W3BlK-56R4N-NW4Mkt1x5k3_78W4Wlm5-6QGn6fVPrc1n6NnsrVW8ywgcB86jKVsW1Jf5Sd1K3Ty8W9js4pw8QKtnNW3znPww5vvQr8W7YkNFD8nH-zJW4TKxY23zy3YtW5D8mpW1JXm_4VXm_2g7fH1l7W8lGnlq2KHmQZN22TNxn9Mb77W49vXjj3JsByPW1nP07w8r48GpW8qvMk-5__4KxM42lrb215-pW1Jp4491C6N63N6sybJKKMxT5W7YZxm51Kd9ZgW2KND8399r0qSN1tj03zZHcRdS7w55lwJgk102) [bippity-boppity-boo-cinderella.gif](W8QjvRs68kDW7W2Qxf7X1Qyzls0/*W8nfZmB23WN1hW7hqzj39gcpPk0/5/f18dQhb0SbTN8XJbXvW2R-vbC7t5LzlW121TK265jJjFW1pHdXW2RwM2kW1m2Dkx99c0JBW8nPcvS50SF1hVcnXQ397dbGxW3M7jlq6vclz2W3CqM2P6v4MB4W30CJ3W3shGD7W41yh5W5PKx65W41_Wbv3SQgn2W3_CV3g3V_TcnW5bnx8R20Y98hW1Yf-_B34mfD7W2kGjZw6qQrmhW9cLQ-f5k8n-4W2z_scn6x2RKSW5-lMJc5tl55SW68ZpT-330YM0W51dHLX3gP_C5W5BnFYD6n4nYJW3xmrC760krc_W3zmGFr41JHn6W2xVV556np4hnW6QY7Wn4mmDc0W54V42p2MQpDrW6_Hcyn4yc4zyW3dTQd13JX7kfW6GFgLs6PcKk4W5WdzHc3dWV34W3M3GKq2MNgZLW2zDzDw47cq25N6Pc2PCJ-blBW6XNPb-72zrXTW712wFY1mL30WW3gk2KW5B5Q7bW5nHJSL3P2m5KVyvpkK1b0YGTW61lPZv25fVg0W6RRB1H4X1VGKV4fvD98JzHf6W76pVmZ7v-D1JW83myXz5V9WFRW3f5_rb87pLZDf3Lg7Rx04) How to take your idea from pumpkin to sparkly carriage.

An inconvenience is slowing people down, a situation is diminishing quality of life, and either no solution exists or the one that does exist is insufficient. So, creative people come up with a way to fix it. Where product development gets derailed. Creative people. We're all guilty of dreaming up new ideas to work into the product and functionality that is “cool,” and building the product the way we think users want it. If your end result is a product that misses the mark — then you probably-most-likely said “yes” to the wrong things... while neglecting some essential right things. Whoops!
