Geo Rutherford is a popular TikTok creator and author of the new book Spooky Lakes: 25 Strange and Mysterious Lakes That Dot Our Planet. Geo started her career as a high school art teacher in the Midwest, creating engaging and thoughtful art curricula for her students. She eventually decided to get her MFA at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Upon moving, she fell in love with the Great Lakes and their unique role in our ecosystem. (She even based her thesis art show on them.) When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, she started posting videos on TikTok, and one of her first-ever videos about her Great Lakesâinspired art went viral.

She began acting at age nine and continued to work steadily through adolescence and beyond, making films alongside industry legends like Robert Redford and taking on increasingly ambitious roles like the titular character in Girl With the Pearl Earring. Her career climbed to new heights in the last decade, as she was nominated for Academy Awards for the films Jojo Rabbit and Marriage Story, and played the lethal superhero Black Widow in the Marvel movie franchise.

Hughes originally trained as a nail technician and worked for several years in London as an in-demand nail tech for runway shows, editorials, and red carpet events.

Claire Mazur and Erica Cerulo are the founders of the modern romantic fiction entertainment company 831 Stories. The two met in college, and after graduating, Claire worked in the arts and Erica in editorial, but they stayed close and constantly shared ideas. In 2010, they partnered up and launched Of a Kind, an e-commerce company that sold limited-edition pieces and crafted meaningful editorial content about the designers behind them. Of a Kind grew a loyal following of customers who loved Claire and Ericaâs keen sense of style and humor. In 2015, they sold the business to Bed Bath & Beyond and stayed at the company for four more years doing marketing and strategy. In 2019, BB&B closed Of a Kind, which allowed Claire and Erica to slow down for the first time in years. They took a pause and thought about their next steps. Realizing the potential of the romance space (and how much they personally resonated with the content), they founded 831 Stories. The company now has a publishing imprint with Simon & Schuster, and their first book, Big Fan by Alexandra Romanoff, was published this past September.

In 2017, she created CultureCon, a conference that brought together Black and Brown voices to collaborate and celebrate each other. Over the next few years, she scaled CultureCon considerably by moving to larger venues; inviting guests such as Tracee Ellis Ross and Regina King; and working with brands like Target, Google, HBO, and Netflix.

But after a few years, she realized that sheâd built a self-sufficient business at the Marlins and started to think about other opportunities for growth. At the same time, sheâd started a family, and when her son got his first cold, she pulled out a Swedish nasal aspirator called a NasFrida that her neighbor had gifted her a few months prior. She used it and thought, âWhy isnât this product available in every corner of America?â As it turned out, the neighbor, who had a business importing and selling NasFridas, was looking to sell theirs and close up shop. Chelsea took a risk, bought the stock, and the NoseFrida was born. She quickly got the product into pediatricianâs offices and began sourcing and creating new ones. Today, her company, Frida, has over 150 products; is available in major retailers like Target, CVS, and Walmart; and is carried at more than 430,000 distribution points in 45 countries.

Emily Nagoski is a best-selling author, researcher, and sex educator. Emily studied psychology in college, and a fateful job as a peer health educator drew her immediately to the field of sex education and violence prevention. She went on to receive a masterâs degree in counseling psychology and a PhD in health behavior. After working as a researcher at the famed Kinsey Institute for Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction, she took a job at Smith College, where she lectured and was the director of wellness education.

The book was a huge hit, and eventually, Emily left her job to write and speak full-time.
