Pursuit 365: Brains & Beauty - 111 Bosses in Lipstick

By Shelly Lynn Hughes

In founding pursuit:365, I set out to build something beyond a business - a movement, a platform, and a legacy that celebrates people. The 'brains' behind this venture are not just in strategy and innovation, but in the resilience, adaptability, and creativity that women bring to the table. It's about harnessing our collective intelligence, our problem-solving abilities, and our capacity to see opportunity where others see obstacles.

When I look at the word 'brains, ' I see it as a badge of honor - a recognition of our determination to challenge norms and redefine industries. We are not just participants in the business world; we are trailblazers, disruptors, and visionaries. In pursuit:365, I have had the privilege to connect with women ( and men) who have rewritten the rules and reshaped industries, proving time and time again that when women unite, extraordinary things happen.

But let's talk about beauty - a concept often misunderstood and narrowly defined. In Brains & Beauty, the 'beauty' we celebrate is not the kind seen in the mirror; it is the beauty of authenticity, kindness, and impact. It's the glow of a woman who lifts others as she rises, the grace in our vulnerability, and the light we bring to our communities through acts of generosity and support. It's the beauty of knowing who we are and embracing our journey - flaws and all.

At pursuit:365, I've witnessed the power of this inner beauty in every story we tell and every person we feature. It's the beauty that radiates from women who have faced adversity head-on and emerged stronger, the beauty of a shared smile in moments of triumph, and the beauty of raw, unfiltered courage.

Together, the brains and beauty we showcase in this book are not separate traits but two sides of the same coin. They are the essence of what it means to be a woman in business today - smart, strategic, soulful, and deeply impactful. This book is a celebration of that union, a tribute to the women who embody both, and a reminder that true beauty is found in the strength, spirit, and stories we share.
