    This is an amazing video. I'm a beauty brand founder and I understand exactly what they're talking about, and appreciate the honest so much, about all their mistakes or regrets. I get it, beauty brands have special and unique hardships of their own. Love this podcast!

    Learn everything from A-Z when starting the business then hire is 100% right. That way when you hire eg fb ads agency, you know they are doing it right, not just doing it.

    It's difficult to build a perfume brand. There's much more to it than just creating packaging. There's a lot to think about as far as creating the perfumes and all the chemical structures and ingredients (you have to know your stuff), being able to ship them, the complexity of shipping regulations for perfumes and on and on.

    I am just over halfway into the video. I'm in the beginnong of starting my own business and I am running into the experience of having or might having to do filling bottles by myself, and fulfilling by myself. I do not know why but I just felt like doing things myself means a bad job automatically. But seeing these guys being where they are today showed me that in the beginning, doing some of the process by yourself is okay and you can scale just as well. (I am starting a body wash brand with very limited budget lol). Anyways this is an amazing video and I feel extremely inspired. For real 💖

      So true their first scent stolen from an old Indian man who has probably been trying to sell the fragrance for 30 years for $5 an oil bottle. Then pretty W privilege walks in and immediately gets a deal to sell the perfume in a major dept store in 5 days..... ridiculous. i know how that poor Indian guy must feel I have been robbed of my ideas for years and have not made any money off of them no matter how many doors I knock on, phone calls I make, emails I send, or conferences I attend. This world sucks...... next please.
