Christofilis records a live podcast interview at Boston Startup Week. Her first interviews were mainly clients she met through her mom’s luxury consignment store. Photo courtesy Nina Christofilis Nina Christofilis, a Northeastern second-year business administration major, is taking on women in the business sphere through her podcast: The Ladyboss Podcast.  Ladyboss was launched in 2020 and tells the story of successful women who have different paths to achievement in various business fields. Christofilis started her podcast at 17 years old when she was stressed and applying to colleges after realizing that “every single person has a completely different story” to achieving success.   “The heart of Ladyboss is to not only amplify and provide a platform for women’s stories that are out there because women in business don’t tend to get opportunities to talk about their lives and how they got into their work,” Chrisofilis said. “But, to also share my network with people who want to learn more about different professions.”  Nina Christofilis poses for a headshot.
