TheSkimm Cofounders on Partnership and a Media Empire | Pretty Big Deal

Ashley Graham sits down with the amazing co-founders and co-CEOs behind theSkimm, Carly Zakin and Danielle Weisberg! Carly and Danielle are two journalists turned media mavens that show no signs of slowing down. There’s a good chance you’ve heard of their newsletter — The Daily Skimm.  You may even be one of their 7 million subscribers. At The Skimm, their mission is to “make it easier for millennial women to live smarter,” and they’ve accomplished that and then some. Between their newsletter, subscription services, and book “How To Skimm Your Life,” these ladies are certainly building an empire to watch.
