Young entrepreneur Quincy MacShane took her passion for reading Nancy Drew books and invented the Nancy Drew Board Game.Then she founded the company Sutherland Games LLC. This began when she was 14 years old. Very few Generation Z high school girls will persist to get approval to use graphics from a company like Scribner. The podcast comes from our video interview with Quincy. Check it out on the Girls C.E.O.Connection website (www.girlsceoconnection.com). To contact Quincy for more information and how to create a successful Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign: quincy.macshane@gmail.com. The Nancy Drew Board Game can be purchased on www.nancydrewboardgame.com

In July 2013, Alexandra Hoang and Kelly Trinh interviewed Catherine  Cook Connellly about her journey on creating MyYearbook. Alexandra and Kelly were Ambassadors for Girls' C.E.O. Connection and were recent high school graduates. The original video interview is still available to watch on the Girls' C.E.O. Connection YouTube channel.

Follow along with Alexandra and Kelly as they learn how Catherine and her brother Dave grew myYearbook from a small startup in 2005 to a major competitor of Facebook in just six years. In November 2011 MyYearbook merged with the Quepasa Corporation and in June 2012 rebranded to MeetMe, Inc. Imagine starting a business at the age of 15 in your bedroom and growing it to be a $33.6 million. Then selling it for $100 million!!! The best part for Catherine was to sell it while continuing to be an executive with the company.
