Joining me on the show today is Melanie Masarin, Founder of the spirited booze free brand, Ghia.
A Glossier alum, Melanie launched her brand earlier this year during the pandemic and it’s been on the tip of everyone’s tongue ever since.
We talk about the lightbulb moment she decided she was going to launch an aperitif, what actually happens in the lead up to the launch, the steps to doing a friends and family round and how her special vision was brought to life through branding and language.
With a super cute background story that involves Italy, her grandmother and all the good things in life Ghia has quickly grown into a brand that’s needed in our social lives, now more than ever.

Today we’re learning some serious stuff about the beauty industry from Remi, the founder of Freck. Let me ask you something… Do you know what a blanket order is? I’ve done over 200 episodes and this has never come up!!!! So if you don’t know. Welcome to the club. Prepare to pick up some nifty tips to reducing your unit costs. We also cover negotiating your margins and some know-how around fill rates in the industry. This is also highlighting some of the epic fails that Remi persevered through to get the brand where it is today stocked on the shelves of Sephora, asos, revolve and the likes. Remi is the entrepreneur we all need to learn from. She is a solid 10 out of 10.
Freck Beauty is a clean beauty brand inspired by Remi's hunt for a perfect freckle. During her years of R&D on what ultimately became the world's first freckle cosmetic, FRECK OG, she found that there wasn’t a bold beauty brand that represented everything from “moisturizer-and-go” to “blue-flame-eyeliner-energy." After launching with FRECK OG in 2017, which quickly took the internet by storm, Remi connected with Des Wilson - now the company's COO. Together, Remi and Des have since expanded Freck Beauty into skincare with the Cactus Collection, and color cosmetics with the CHEEKSLIME range.

On today’s episode we’re learning from Allison Ellsworth, the founder of Poppi.
There’s some seriously cool insights in this episode... We talk through her approach to raising money in the early days and why you shouldn’t take stupid money. Her recent moment of partnering with jlo. Mind blowing stuff. And her explosive growth after going on shark tank plus everything in between. This is an episode that shows you the power of having a truly great product. I’ve come off this episode feeling so inspired and charged for my own journey. This is the kind of thing that really lights me on fire so I hope you love it too!
If you haven’t heard of it before Poppi it’s the leading prebiotic soda and the fastest growing non-alcoholic beverage brand in the U.S. After appearing on Shark Tank in 2018, Poppi launched nationwide in retail and quickly became an Amazon best-seller.
