In this episode, I sit down with Nicola Gunby—entrepreneur, founder, and CMO of CLIQ, the social networking app bringing real connection back to social media. From launching one of the first beauty tech SaaS platforms (AMB Beauty, later acquired by Revolution Beauty who renamed AMB to MyRev) to now tackling the loneliness pandemic with CLIQ, Nicola has mastered the art of building engaged communities both online and offline.

We dive into:

  • The key moments that accelerated her growth as a founder
  • How she built and scaled multiple startups in different industries
  • Strategies for brand building, raising capital, and standing out in a crowded space
  • The challenges of entrepreneurship 
  • Tips for female founders
  • Finding balance in the chaos and maintaining wellness as a high performer

If you're a founder, aspiring entrepreneur, or just someone who loves stories of resilience and innovation, this episode is packed with insights.
