In today's episode I'm joined by Helen Reavey. Helen’s a woman that knows a thing or two about hair, and something we often don't think about - our scalp. After spending her career working on fashion week's around the world and editorial shoots with mega brands like Fendi, she started to see the negative effects of heat and products on our head, and set out to create a modern hair care business designed to keep your scalp and hair healthy.
We’re chatting about her journey and how she’s gone about creating a product that didn't exist in the market, the power of a striking brand, what challenges come along with committing to a 100% sustainable brand and the argument for Amazon vs Netaporter.

Lauren (Silvers) Warwick and Lisa Maree are the founders behind the on-demand beauty startup, Glamazon, that launched from Lauren’s bedroom floor more than 7 years ago. Together they built Australia’s first and leading tech platform that provides real-time bookings for freelance hair and makeup artists, and connects them to clients through an app.
From a merger in 2016 to raising capital, a successful appearance on Shark Tank, plenty of ups and downs, and their recent exit in January - this is the story of what a startup is really like.
And remember to keep listening to the 6 quick questions at the very end where Lauren shares how she wins the day and where she hangs out to get smarter.

Imagine having an idea so big that it changes the way we live and betters the world… Meet Blueland, a company that’s disrupting what’s under your kitchen sink and the way you clean your house.
Sarah Paiji Yoo went from Harvard Business School to investment banking, launching multiple startups to Blueland. A purpose driven company that’s reimagining cleaning products and the way we consume plastic. Sarah’s mission is to eliminate single use plastic and become a company that lives in every household.
We talk about her journey and how this idea came about (spoiler alert: there were multiple ideas before this one), the process of bringing something into the world that literally didn’t exist and the moment that Kim Kardashian tweeted about the company 3(!) times after seeing it on Sharktank.

It’s an online community for female founders and freelancers, where you subscribe to a monthly plan that suits your budget and gets you access to workshops, events, online resources and a highly engaged support network so you don’t have to do it alone.

Omg I never knew how fab soap bars could be. Kassi Emadi started her conscious brand a few short years ago with the vision to bring sparkle back into a tired industry, through a millennial focused brand. She moved back in with her parents and grew her UK made brand out of the garage, and it’s nuts how quickly she grew it and found her tribe. Nuddy is stocked in retailers around the globe like Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, Pretty Little Thing and Boohoo, and it’s all managed by Kassi herself.
The best part is where she tells us about a very special project she launched as we went into lockdown, spoiler alert: she’s given away more than 15,000 soap bars for people in need during the current pandemic. I love this episode SO much - if you could have seen my face and all the silent LOLs I was having you would be in a FIT.
We cover every step of the way to launch a purpose driven brand, what to do when things go wrong, prioritising stellar customer service, the most important revenue driver and why it's important to leverage your network: sliding into DMs is def a thing.
If you know someone who has an idea and wants to launch a brand, please share this with them.
