Mistakes are inevitable when starting your own business, but what really counts is how you learn from them. When you are convinced that your business has more than enough potential for success, it's easy to push through these hardships and come out better.

Sali Christeson, founder and CEO of Argent, has done just this to take her company from an emerging to an established brand! Argent is a women's workwear brand that designs a variety of pieces appropriate for the workplace. Not only are they designing trendy work wear, but they focus on functional details like hidden pockets, bands to hold rolled-up sleeves, and more.

In her excitement to make Argent successful, Sali made some missteps during the interviewing and hiring process. Still, she shares how she implemented changes to create a better system for the future. She also talks about how Argent is highlighting the women who wear their clothes and building a community around their goals of gender equality and women empowerment.
