SHE-TALKS with Lisa Jones

How SHE Went From Broke to Building a Multi-Million Dollar Business with Briony Kennedy from Adorn Cosmetics


Listen Later

What if one decision nearly cost you everything you’d spent a decade building?

In this raw and powerful episode, Lisa sits down with Briony Kennedy, founder of Adorn Cosmetics - a clean beauty brand with a cult following and a founder story like no other. 

From launching with nine-month-old twins while battling postnatal depression to surviving a half-a-million-dollar tech disaster, Briony proves that you don’t need a trust fund or a Vogue cover to build a million-dollar brand. You just need relentless belief, purpose-led products, and a hell of a lot of hustle.

Briony gets honest about what it really takes to scale in a cutthroat industry, why she didn’t pay herself for nearly a decade, and how she finally unlocked growth by getting in front of the camera. This is an unfiltered look at resilience, leadership, and building a beauty business that puts sustainability - and the customer - first.

What You’ll Learn:

✨ Why Briony didn’t pay herself for 9 years and what kept her going

✨ The massive mistake that cost her over $500K…and what she learned from it

✨ How getting on camera saved her business and skyrocketed growth

✨ Why sustainability isn’t a buzzword at Adorn - it’s a non-negotiable

✨ The unglamorous truth about being in business for 17 years - and why she’s still obsessed with it
