Joining me on today’s show is Polly Rodriguez, the founder behind the sexual wellness company Unbound.
Since its start, Unbound has gone from being a labor of love operating out of a tiny NYC apartment to a leader in changing how people explore and enjoy their sex lives. Their mission is to make sexual wellness products that are body safe, affordable and elevated in design.
Polly shares the harsh realities of building this business for the first few years and the kind of sacrifice and commitment that comes with launching a startup. Her advice on marketing regulated products and what they’ve done to stand out, dealing with the bias that exists between men and women’s sexual health companies, and why it’s important to be weird.

Everyone hates it when the dentist tells you to floss. It’s like that thing that you know you need to do - that will prevent most of the issues with your teeth and gums yet you don’t do it. And you certainly don’t meet many people who say they LOVE flossing. Right? Well, Chrystle and Catherine are changing that and the way we think about flossing.
Founded by a dentist and her self confessed lazy flosser sister, Cocofloss is on a mission to make flossing a fun and rewarding part of everyone’s self-care routine. They set out to make it a ritual to love instead of something that was a total pain in the butt. By tapping into human behaviour and taking note from brands who create stunning packaging and products that women actually want to highlight on their bathroom shelfie, Cocofloss set out to create a beautifully packaged piece that you’d be proud to display at the front and centre of your bathroom cabinet to keep it front of mind.
They also took other pain points like how it felt between your teeth, the colour of floss, the smell of the floss and even what its made from to flip the current experience upside down and make this something a ritual you actually enjoy doing every single day.
This episode got me wanting to floss immediately and I hope it does the same for you!

Joining me on today’s show is Sophie Baron, the woman behind London’s cutest meal delivery startup for babies, Mamamade.
In March 2019, Mamamade came to life when Sophie struggled to find healthy and fresh options for her baby. She set out to develop a product that would provide some support for other parents going through the same struggle. Mamamade delivers unprocessed, unrefined combinations of real ingredients cut perfectly for little fingers that’s flash frozen to seal in the nutrition and flavour.
This is her journey of becoming an entrepreneur whilst holding down a full time job and the lessons she’s learned along the way.

Joining me on the show today are two total boss women in business, Rebecca Minkoff and Ali Wyatt.
Rebecca and Ali teamed up a few years ago to create the Female Founder Collective. It’s a network of businesses led by women, supporting women with a mission to enable and empower female-owned and led businesses to positively impact communities, both socially and economically.
We’re talking about the challenges that women face in the corporate world and in entrepreneurship at the moment and what we need to do to tackle these big issues and their recent virtual summit with incredible female founders like Jessica Alba and Bea Dixon teaching hard skills and soft skills for all women in business - which side note you should totally check out asap as it’s available to access until the end of this month and I’ve linked it below in the show notes.
I’ve long admired both of these women and was especially excited to speak with them given we have similar synergies in our missions to empower the female entrepreneurs who are solving global issues right now so I hope you love this episode as much as I did recording it!

Joining me on the show today are two of the co-founders behind the luxury pet accessories brand Wild One. Wild One is a one stop shop for everything you need for your cute pooch and they’ve got the kind of job we all dream about - well, I dream about - puppies in the office, puppy photoshoots and hanging out at dog parks seeing what owners are into and talking about.
These two women and their third co-founder Bill brought their unique skill sets together to build a brand and carved out a space for pets that didn’t exist in the market before. They develop products based on what they know their customer truly wants, in cute colours and works to build a community of pet lovers by hosting huge events that bring people together.
