  • Kat Colling’s voice…NO

    I actually think this is a wonderful podcast overall but every time they let Kat Collings speak, it’s time to switch off. This woman sounds like she has peanut butter stick in the back of her mouth. Sorry for the low rating but please no more.

  • Inspiring!

    Thank you for sharing so many inspiring stories! It’s expanded my perception of what could be and how even the most successful women have felt imposter syndrome. They chose to brave and bold anyways, betting on themselves!

    Can we please have an episode on Hillary’s story?!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Monica Padman Returns! The Cocreator, Cohost, and Producer of Armchair Expert Is Back
Q: How did the idea unfold?
Padman says she reunited with Elizabeth Lame and Andy Rosen, longtime podcasting friends, and heard the personal story behind their abrupt podcasting hiatus. She proposed making a show about it, which grew into an investigative documentary as they contacted people connected to the story.
Monica Padman Returns! The Cocreator, Cohost, and Producer of Armchair Expert Is Back
Q: Why do you think Armchair still resonates like that all of these years later with so much competition?
Padman says the show entered podcasting at a time when audiences knew the format but the market was less crowded, and credits its longevity to a loyal audience. She also points to the depth and intimacy of its conversations.
The Who What Wear Podcast: WWW20 Presents: Celebrity Hairstylist and Beauty Founder Jen Atkin on Building Her Hair Empire
Q: How did you build Ouai while still having such a busy, wild career?
Atkin began developing the idea in 2014 and sought investors while continuing to style clients. She relied on her assistants as the company grew, and says the customer insights she gained during years in salons helped shape the brand.
The Who What Wear Podcast: WWW20 Presents: Celebrity Hairstylist and Beauty Founder Jen Atkin on Building Her Hair Empire
Q: Talk to me about how you first fell in love with hair and makeup.
Atkin grew up captivated by music and movie makeovers but did not know hairstyling could be a career. She moved to Los Angeles with $300, asked salons for receptionist work, assisted for years, and later moved into fashion-show styling.
Kristina Blahnik: CEO of Manolo Blahnik
Q: As someone who has made a large pivot in her career, what advice would you give someone who's thinking about making a move but just hasn't done it quite yet?
Blahnik advises people not to stay somewhere they are unhappy, to seek work that gives them joy, and to accept that uncertainty and fear can lead to unexpected opportunities.
