  • Obsessed

    The only thing that makes me look forward to the ironing. I love the open conversation and people truly sharing information we want to know, no gate keeping here.

    I’d love to know more info like how long videos take to film, or do these people have stylists all the time. Or for the Space NK trip, how did the guests plan their outfits i.e do brands reach out before they go etc?

  • Favourite Podcast!!

    This has quickly become one of my favourite podcasts (along with Grace Beverly’s)! Truly grateful to hear from so many amazing female founders - The vast majority or entrepreneur podcasts have such a masculine energy and I don’t find that very relatable as a young female entrepreneur. Thank you!!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Astrid & Miyu: From a £500 Website to a £50M Jewellery Brand
Q: How did you approach international expansion, particularly the US?
We did pop-ups first to build a following, then opened a store which faced challenges during COVID, teaching us to adapt leadership and local market strategies for different regions.
Steven Bartlett Gave Me £100K, Then We Grew 600%: Hello Klean | Ladies Who Launch
Q: What did your first step to let consumers know what Hello Klean does look like?
The initial focus was on raising awareness about what is in the water and how hard water interacts with skin and hair, then presenting a cohesive narrative that ties filtration with topical products so education leads to trust and purchase.
"Caroline Hirons Was The Biggest Risk I Ever Took": Colette Laxton | Ladies Who Launch
Q: How did you approach funding the initial launch and scale?
She describes a bootstrap phase with minimal funds, then securing a pivotal investment after rapid early growth from Boots connections, culminating in meaningful investment and strategic partnerships to support US expansion.
"Caroline Hirons Was The Biggest Risk I Ever Took": Colette Laxton | Ladies Who Launch
Q: What were the non-negotiables for running a business as you started out?
Unique value proposition, securing finite capital, and maintaining relentless resilience; without these, the journey would be unsustainable. The guest emphasizes needing a real, differentiated idea, sufficient funding, and the stamina to persist through daily challenges.
"Imposter Syndrome" Isn't Real: Dior Bediako | Ladies Who Launch
Q: How would you coach us through the dilemma of choosing between two equally important actions with limited time?
Default to your own capability and belief: decide with the mindset that you will handle whatever outcome arises and improve from it, then identify the true bottleneck to prioritize the action that will remove the largest obstacle and keep momentum going.
