The dynamic Foster sisters on how to survive working with a siblingThe dynamic Foster sisters on how to survive working with a siblingErin and Sara Foster are Hollywood royalty. The sisters are close friends (partly through their parents various marriages) with some of your favorite people to read and gossip about including The Kardashians, Kate Hudson, The Jenners, Nicole Richie, and Courtney Cox to name a few. In other words, they are well connected.But if you think they have relied on their connections (their father is famous music producer David Foster) to build their careers which include writing and producing (the totally underrated VH1 series Barely Famous and the upcoming show Daddy Issues), fashion collaborations, and in 2017,they were appointed as Heads of Creative for Bumble.Though most people associate Bumble, started by Whitney Wolfe Herd, with dating, the business networking side, Bumble Bizz, has taken on quite a successful life of its own. Bumble Bizz lets women highl ight their professional skills, portfolios and accomplishments and network with worthy connections all from their phone. But just like the dating side of the app, women have to message first.Follow Ladders on FlipboardFollow Ladders magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and moraLast year, Bumble launched Bumble Fundto invest in women founders who are often largely ignored by the venture capital establishment. Withstartups led and founded by women receiving only2%of all venture capital belastung year, the women-first network saw a clear need to try to elevate these entrepreneurs.Bumble also held its second annualFemale Film Force competition this spring whichgives grants to five different female filmmakers in France, Germany, the UK, and Ireland to create short films. So, yeah, its not just a dating app.Ladders caught up with the sisters at an auffhrung celebrating the launch of a collaboration between Bumble andCointreau. The partne rship welches inspired by the drive for people to make more connections in unique and different ways. The upcoming Margarita Monday events, which will be held in cities all over the country on Monday nights feature a cocktail-making class where a Cointreau brand ambassador leads Bumble matches in making The Original Margarita together.It was inspired by a shared passion for creating extraordinary moments and bringing people together to build genuine connections. We wanted to create an opportunity for matches on the app to engage in real life not just to have drinks or dinner, but to bond over mixing up Margaritas, which we personally love to do the Fosters told Ladders.They shared more ontheir careers, working together, and all things Bumble.On their roles at BumbleWere so passionate about Bumbles mission. We love being creative and thinking of ways we can incorporate it into everything from dinners and panels to TV shows and partnerships with other women-led companies.On working w ith a sibling (the highs and lows)Erin Well get into an argument andSarawill slam the door and storm out. 20 minutes later, shell text me and say, Are you coming over for dinner with the kids? and Im like, Yes, Im on my way Similar to any other siblings, we definitely have our moments but at the end of the day, were each others best friends and biggest supporters.On the best advice, Whitney Wolfe has given them Whitney told us Anything can turn into something with passion and hard work. Whitney believed in her idea from the start, even when people told her that launching Bumble was too risky. Watching her makes us better. Shes so humble but shes also such a boss.On new Bumble initiativesBumble has so many things coming down the pipeline As you previously saw, we recently partnered with Cointreau to transform routine Mondays into extraordinary ones with Margarita Monday events. We just hosted the inaugural event in New York City, and Bumble is currently in the midst of planning simil ar events in Los Angeles, Austin, and Chicago throughout the month of June.In addition to the Margarita Monday events, we know that there will be a number of additional events that will be happening in cities around the world throughout the course of the summer, whether its having a presence at a Pride event or hosting a fun happy hour Bumble BFF bar tab. We understand the importance of taking relationships from the app into real life, and were constantly looking for ways to create engaging environments where our users can connect with someone theyve met on Bumble Date, BFF or Bizz.On staying motivatedThe feeling we get when we come up with an idea, develop it, and watch it in action. We never get tired of that feeling.On their morning routinesSara I always like to check my emails before my kids wake up.Erin I put my phone on silent and turn it over while I tackle work emails in the afternoon. Its very easy to be distracted and if youre responding to a text every few minutes youll n ever get through the work you need to get done.On strange jobs theyve hadErin I worked at a comfort shoe store when I was 15. Putting comfort shoes on old people lets just say I didnt peak in high school.Sara Playing a corpse on a TV show in a body bag.You might also enjoyNew neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happyStrangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds10 lessons from Benjamin Franklins daily schedule that will double your productivityThe worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs10 habits of mentally strong people
