Before the Launch with Brenna McGowan

Why I Started My Business at 40 (and What Botox Had to Do With It)


Listen Later

What’s your why

I ask this in nearly every pre-launch conversation, but today, I’m flipping the script and sharing my story.


From feeling stuck at 40 and wanting more out of life to starting my business because I wanted eyelashes, I walk you through the twists and turns that led me to where I am today — and why I care so much about pre-launching.


If you’ve ever struggled to articulate why you started your business — or if you're wondering whether anyone even cares — this episode will help you reflect, share, and connect more deeply through your story.


In this episode, you’ll learn:


  • The two wildly different reasons I started my business — both equally true


  • Why hating my first job in online business was actually a blessing


  • The surprising launch problem I kept seeing (and how I fixed it)


  • Why your “why” matters way more than you think — especially during a launch


🎧 Listen now and start weaving your why into your content.
