A Mid-Western girl living in New York City, Rachel is a tastemaker who lives and breathes all things beauty, fitness, wellness, fashion, and travel. She is the founder of Cuvée Beauty, a New York-based haircare brand that is a state-of-the-art Champagne and skin-care grade-infused product line designed for low-maintenance, high-style living. Rachel’s mission is to transform hair everywhere with the most efficacious ingredients—and empower women with the confidence that goes along with it. At just 27 years old, she is also the CEO of P.volve, a boutique fitness method based in NYC that she runs with her husband.

On this episode we get into her love for the hustle that is NYC, how Cuvée Beauty came to life, her health / wellness routine and more about the workout method P.volve.  When it comes to Cuvée, it came down to a unique idea and a drive to make it happen. Rachel’s health and wellness journey, however, cannot be ignored as she feels this was really the key to her success. Rachel is SUCH a boss, now juggling both brands - trust me, this is an episode NOT to be missed.

Sedge Beswick is the Founder and Managing Director of SEEN Connects, an award-winning, innovative, globally based influencer marketing agency. In 2019, she launched Connects Cast, an off-shoot podcast production company hailed as ‘the new wave of influential sound.’ Having previously worked at Red Bull and Three UK, Sedge moved to ASOS before setting up Connects, working as their Global Social Media manager taking them from a lesser known fashion hub, to the world’s most visited e-commerce clothing site. Her current client list includes:  Nike, Very.co.uk, Jo Malone London, Jack Daniel’s, Facebook and Instagram.

I love Sedge’s story - she actually got her start in the digital space from entering a competition on social media when she was a student at Uni. We talk about her time at ASOS and how she grew their online social presence globally, and her transition to then launching her own influencer marketing agency in London.  We chat on why she also launched Connects Cast, a podcast production company and why she feels podcasts are the new wave of media. Lastly, we get into what she feels is next when it comes to social media and the influencer marketing space, emerging platforms, IGTV, changes on the IG/FB front, and how Sedge sees the space ultimately evolving in the future.
