Are you tired of thinking about your business idea and never doing anything about it?
Would you like to be part of a supportive and inspiring group of smart women?
15 Women are embarking upon a 6 month program to become Fearless! With Wells Fargo as our program sponsor, we congratulate 3 Fearless Ladies as Scholarship Awardees!

Meet: Melissa Bicheler
Melissa's idea and passion for advocating for survivors of rape is inspiring. Her can-do, creative attitude provides room for her to succeed. The kickoff projects for Educating Innovators include "Swimming Upstream", a documentary on secondary vicitimization of survivors of sexual assault from medical examination, an online continuing education class for medical professionals teaching them how to treat patients who were just sexually assaulted. and an e-Guide for college students taking them through the maze of aftermath treatment and service options, and "Not Starving Artists", a book based on interviews with artists of all kinds who make at least a living wage with their art.
Meet: Kim Daly
She left her job with Corporate American 2 years ago to start her own business.
