EP 140: Proceed as If, If Success, Is Inevitable

Mav’s Coffee Clarity with Denise DiGrigoli

In this inspiring episode of MAVs Coffee Clarity, I sit down with Felicia Rubinstein, (Founder of HAYVN) a trailblazer in her industry and a powerhouse entrepreneur. Felicia shares her journey to success, navigating the challenges of being a woman in engineering, pioneering her position at APPLE, to opening her own marketing agency and then on to spearing heading a CT B-corp that aims to create an inspiring and collaborative space for entrepreneurs to get stuff done! Wow! You do not want to miss this episode! ====== HAYVN Founder Felicia Rubinstein is a true trailblazer, starting her career as an engineer at GE and Apple before “Women in STEM” was a movement. She thrived at the Fortune 500 companies, working there for more than a decade. When Rubinstein wanted a flexible work schedule after her first son was born, she asked Apple for it—and got it—pioneering one of the company’s first-ever job share programs. Eventually she left to start her own business and forge a new path: engineering a better way to work. She created Maven Marketing and later 341 Studios, a Marketing and Branding Agency, one of the first virtual workspaces for independent contractors and freelancers in Fairfield County, and where she held regular educational roundtable breakfasts for clients and partners. The launch of 341 Studios became an unintentional pilot program for HAYVN, a women-centered coworking space in Darien, CT, and her latest venture. Rubinstein designed HAYVN to be just that—a “haven” for women to “connect, create and get stuff done.” ====== Key Beans: When you are passionate about something, you need to fight for it It’s important to Fail Obstacles create your path Quotes: “So just being mindful of how you do business and, you know, doing business as a force for good is really important.” - Felicia Rubinstein (26:17) Find her at: https://hayvn.com/ Thank you, FELICIA xo Denise aka MAV ====== If you just found me, welcome!
