1. @zibbyowens + @zibbypublishing
The queen of book recs and big ideas. Zibby Owens built Zibby Media, a publishing house, a podcast empire, retreats, and even a bookshop in Santa Monica—all while being a mom of four. She’s upbeat, inspiring, and makes us want to grab a stack of new reads ASAP.
We had the opportunity to ask her two questions:
✨ What’s the one moment with your kids you never compromise on?
“That last hug before they fall asleep.”
✨ What’s the biggest lesson your kids learn from watching you build your empire?
“That they can create something too! That rejections along the way are to be expected. And that books are everything.”

Co-founder of Baukunst, a VC fund backing cutting-edge tech + design startups. Kate breaks down the hows and whys of early-stage funding and even shares pitch decks that actually work. Bonus: she keeps it real about building her schedule around shared custody of her son (and yes, her outfits are the best).

Winemaker, entrepreneur, and Napa star-in-the-making. After working at Gallo and St. Supéry, Brenae launched Violets Paradise Wines. Her feed is filled with dreamy vineyard shots, delicious bottles, and the vibe of someone you’ll want to say “I knew her when…” about in a few years.
