Episode Description from the Publisher

BONUS TMG! We’re back with two amazing moms who are building big things — and doing it their own way. First, Mallory Fitzsimmons, founder of viral fashion brand SSYS, joins us to share how she went from starting a business at home during COVID to building a full-scale fashion brand designed with moms like us in mind. We talk entrepreneurship, motherhood, taking risks and why Mallory was determined to build SSYS differently. Then… is that corny dogs we smell?! Karissa Condoianis, SVP of Public Relations for the State Fair of Texas, takes us behind the scenes of one of the biggest and most beloved events in Texas. We talk about what it takes to pull off the State Fair every year, the food we absolutely need to try, and the fair hacks every mom should know before heading to Fair Park. Fashion, food, motherhood and a whole lot of Texas — welcome to your bonus dose of The Mom Game!
