Be The Girl Podcast

Hi and welcome back to Be the Girl Podcast. Today my guest is Katie Apicella, founder of Nine Nine Bespoke - a lifestyle management company based in New York. Born and raised in Manhattan, Katie then studied film in LA and went on to receive her BA in Social Sciences with a concentration in Media Studies from NYU. Katie’s background in entertainment and luxury hospitality on both coasts is elemental to her expertise.  With a keen sense for emerging trends as well as her passion for cultivating exclusive relationships, Katie has been recognized as a tastemaker. Working on both the client and business side, as well as curating a vast yet relevant Rolodex in the hospitality and luxury lifestyle vertical, Katie is sought out for her valuable insight into developing innovative and creative approaches to drive business growth and client retention through perk and incentive marketing strategies. Katie believes wholeheartedly in living in the moment and embracing each and every day. She found her new passion when she realized that she could use all her skills and experience to help fill the void between work and life. We are chatting about Katie's journey from acting to being named one of New York’s most promising female founders, developing a CEO Mindset When You’re Just Getting Started, turning your greatest challenge into your greatest opportunity and so much more! We also chat about coaching services for anyone who feels that they need some advice, guidance and knowledge to help them level up and push through barriers!

Let's get into the conversation.

Welcome to a brand new episode of Be the Girl Podcast! Today's episode is a special one, I am chatting to Madison Rapa, founder and CEO of Tanzee, for her very first podcast interview. Madi started Tanzee 6 years ago at age 23, from a frustration with her sheets being ruined from her weekly self tanning ritual. After realising there was a huge gap in the market and thinking others may also be experiencing this on a weekly basis, Madi,  with the help of her mum researched and created her own self-tan bed sheet protector, that was a huge industry game changer and remains the hero product for Tanzee. We chat all about Madi's entrepreneurial drive that started when she was just 12 years old selling her handmade jewelry on consignment, starting out in business,  learning as you go and following your passion, product innovation and development and pushing the boundaries of the beauty industry. We also chat about health, lifestyle and running a business. Madi has had Lyme Disease since starting Tanzee in 2015 and today we would like to raise awareness and I am so honoured to talk about this and for Madi to share her experience for the first time to inspire and empower others which is a huge step and extremely brave. This really is a must listen with something for everyone, let's get started!

Hi guys and welcome back to Be The Girl Podcast. Today I’m jumping on the pod to chat about Personal Development. We are into the February already which is kind of crazy! So it really is the time to get serious about the next steps we want to take in 2021 and actually start putting some things into action. For me personally, this year I am making Personal Development a priority. It is something that I have always done and been interested in throughout my career and through starting The Daily Pretty and this podcast but I really didn’t do that much last year – and I definitely felt the effects of this and the difference in my motivation and also having the confidence to push out of my comfort zone and go after new things both personally and professionally. SO, the universe was listening and The Bundle Co. reached out and asked TDP to collaborate on their latest bundle which is all about self improvement and development – I knew it felt right and was meant to be. In this episode I chat all about The Bundle Co, more on Personal Development and why you should invest in yourself right now more than ever, my top highlights for the bundle and how I personally complete bundles (this will be my third!) and how they have been critical to my career and growing The Daily Pretty and this podcast? Ready to invest in yourself and realise your true capabilities right now GF? Get you bundle here! Available until 14 Feb 2021 only!

Welcome back to Be The Girl podcast.  My guest today is Chi Mai, founder of Melbourne based ethical jewelry label S-kin Studio Jewelry. A truly inspiring female founder, Chi, has an amazing story to share, plus some wonderful business insights and learnings experienced along the way. Chi was born in Vietnam and moved to Australia for love! Growing up, and in her early twenties, she felt a lot of pressure from her parents to be a high achiever and to be successful in the corporate world, but after spending time here in Australia she realised that 'corporate life' wasn't what made her heart sing so she let go of what she thought she had to be and followed her creative dreams instead. We chat all about Chi's move from a Management Consulting to business owner, letting go of what we think we 'have' to do or 'should' do in our careers to follow our true passion and Chi's personal experience with this, the path to creating her business, why a commitment to sustainability and ethical manufacturing to reduce the effects of 'fast fashion' are an integral part of S-kin and Chi's mantra coming into a new year. Let's get started!
