An EHAP First! We set up a mobile studio in Accessory & Lifestyle brand JENNY BIRD’s offices this week. Aptly named the nest. I sat down to talk to the Founder, CEO and Creative Director, Jenny Bird about her eponymous line and “long grind” to major success. I also managed to rope-in VP of Brand Marketing, Laura Carinci to share a little bit of the formula to their noticeable jump from Canadian hero brand to international force.

We cover:

• Priorities in leadership
• Bootstrap vs investors 
• E-comm vs wholesale 
• The power of a “surrender” mindset and the energy of others in alignment 
• Are celebrities paid to wear their products?
• Importance of brand story telling 

.. and so much more.

 The dynamic synergy between them is  uplifting and inspiring. 

Listen in and enjoy!

Co-Founders, sisters, and best friends Amanda & Laura Santino take us through the lightbulb moment of their business journey and share candid insights about running a retail business - a predictably unpredictable space.

We’re talking about the sisters’ key learnings so far and how they’re striving to re-shape the consumer experience for women to “find their freedom and own their Permission.”

It’s deeper than activewear, babe.

JJ Walsh has had a fascinating career.  From the glamour of fashion editorial at Conde Nast, to running a luxury retail consulting company...  her life took a major turn when she moved from London England to the west coast of Canada. We chat about her career journey, uncomfortable change, crying in parks, and the inner fire that reignited to create  a (very buzzy and successful!) bricks-and-mortar experiential skincare business, Formula Fig.

An EHAP First!  We sat down in studio with some of TikTok's rising stars to chat about the platform and how they use it to make money, honey. Whether you are a small (or large) business owner, a marketer, brand consultant or in any way tapped with building awareness, this is a conversation to listen to.

We hear from Liz Kapran, Ethan Glenn,  and Zhanna Redneva on...

• How they built their own following(s)
• Instagram vs. TikTok? 
•  Mistakes that brands make when trying to enter the space
• Do's, dont's and their own lists of wont's

Bonus! We even get into...

• Evolution of the platform 
• The "anti-influencer" movement? 
• Gen Z Entitlement? 

And so much more. 

I absolutely loved talking to these creators and was blown away at how unfiltered they were.

Special thanks to Nelson Thall, HVR and Cast of Creators for letting us invade their studio!

It took some doing, but we managed to chase down two of the busiest culinary creators and restauranteurs in North America,   Mandy & Rebecca Wolfe. We discuss the evolution of their Montreal-born brand, Mandy's Gourmet Salads, which now includes a growing number of dine-in and take-out restaurants, 2 best selling cook books and only 1 regrettable TikTok dance.

The business savvy sisters take us through growing pains, big learnings,  favourite things about their ever-expanding company and what's next for the Mandy's domination tour.

Plus, she unintentionally gives us some great advice of how to pursue a passion successfully.
