Cindy Eckert

Pretty Big Deal with Ashley Graham

Ashley Graham sits down with Cindy Eckert, self-made CEO and advocate for women. Cindy is the powerhouse behind Addyi aka The Little Pink Pill — or to some, Female Viagra. In the past 10 years, Cindy has sold two pharmaceutical companies. Her most recent sale, Sprout Pharmaceuticals, went for a whopping $1 BILLION. And if that wasn’t impressive enough, Cindy and her shareholders reacquired the company two years after selling — FOR FREE! Cindy is also the creator of The Pink Ceiling aka The Pinkubator — a fund that supports businesses made by or for women.

In this episode, we talk about entrepreneurship, the woman’s right to desire, the true reason behind Cindy’s signature hot pink wardrobe, and so much more.
