Cisco Systems & Urban Decay: Sandy Lerner (2018)

In the pre-Internet 1970's, Sandy Lerner was part of a loosely-knit group of programmers that was trying to get computers to talk to each other. Eventually, she and Len Bosack launched Cisco Systems, making the routing technology that helped forge the plumbing of the Internet. But when things turned sour at the company, she was forced to leave, giving her the chance to start something entirely new: an edgy line of cosmetics called Urban Decay.

One of my favorite How I Built This stories ever!

Loved listening to Sandy's story of determination & drive. I'd say it had nothing to do with Luck.
She is incredibly smart & hard-working.
Fascinating all the other areas of business she got into after Cisco.

She'd be the most interesting person to have lunch with. or milk a cow with! 😁

Thanks for sharing!
