Gossiping About Hailey Bieber’s Haters, Ami Colé’s Diarrha Failing Fast & Forward into Skims, & How To Win With An Unfair Advantage (Maggie Sellers Reum & Katie Sellers) Nov 05, 2025

Show notes

Back by popular demand, Maggie Sellers Reum and Katie Sellers are back in the studio to gossip about business, sisterhood, and the new rules of being a woman in work, and in life.

From speaking at Duke’s Women’s Leadership Lab to breaking down the rhode $200M P&L, to the SKIMS hire that no one saw coming, this conversation blends strategy, gossip, and sister energy in the most Hot Smart Rich way possible.

In this candid, unfiltered conversation, Maggie and Katie gossip about:

Cycle-syncing and optimizing your life around your menstrual cycle
Why being “not for everyone” is actually your biggest advantage — and how polarization builds loyalty, not hate.
The Sephora Sale playbook, how luxury brands train customers not to wait for discounts, and what early decisions set you apart.
The rhode x e.l.f. P&L: $200M in revenue, 33% margins, and why Hailey Bieber’s brand is rewriting the rules of beauty
What every founder can steal from Rhode — the “unfair advantage” framework and how to out-execute competitors even without a celebrity name.
Failing fast and publicly. How Diarrha’s Skims comeback proves a career pivot can be your power move.
The real lessons from rejection. Why sales is the ultimate training ground and why they’d never push their kids into investment banking.
Creators as the new Disney. How Steven Bartlett’s $425M raise proves that distribution is the modern superpower.
Becoming your own mood board. The art of self-belief, reinvention, and writing the story you actually want to live.

No matter where you are in your career, this episode helps navigate tricky conversations about redefining success, learning when to lead and when to let go, and trusting your own version of ambition — no matter how loud the noise gets — to truly be able to lean into your own superpowers.

Shameless’s Emma Kenney on Hollywood Fame, Pay Gaps & Finding Purpose as a Non-Profit Entrepreneur Oct 22, 2025

Show notes

Emma Kenney (@emmakenney) grew up on screen - cast at just nine years old, she spent over a decade playing Debbie Gallagher on Shameless and Harris on The Conners. But behind the fame, Emma faced child stardom’s toughest challenges: battling misconceptions about her identity, navigating Hollywood’s pay gap, and fighting the constant pressure to stay relevant

Now 26, she’s carving a new path - launching Yogi’s House, a dog rescue that has already saved nearly 400 animals. In this episode, Emma opens up about the cost of fame, the realities of money and contracts in Hollywood, and why she chose passion over profit.

We cover:

The misconceptions about Emma vs. Debbie Gallagher
Hollywood’s child star system and pay gap realities
The emotional toll of relevance, rejection, and reinvention
Starting Yogi’s House and saving 400 dogs
Social media, brand deals, and the pressure to perform
Rumors, fan encounters, and the double life of fame
Why Emma believes “what’s meant to be will be”

This isn’t just a story about fame - it’s about resilience, reinvention, and finding purpose outside the spotlight.
