When Ripley Rader was told to trust consultants and experts instead of her own instincts, she almost lost sight of what made her brand special. Instead, she doubled down on her vision—building her company from a $100 Shopify template into one of fashion’s fastest-growing names.

In this episode, Ripley shares how trusting herself over “the pros” became her biggest competitive edge. She talks about the myth of the expert, the power of failure, and why every woman deserves a little “delusional self-confidence.”
