ABOUT THIS EPISODE

How do you scale from $1 million to $100 million in revenue without taking a single dollar of outside capital?.

In this episode, we are joined by Kevin Gould, the co-founder of Glamnetic. Kevin takes us through his career starting in the WME mailroom, his transition into influencer management, and the eventual creation of one of the fastest-growing brands in the beauty space.

We discuss the high-stakes decision to pivot the company from magnetic lashes to press-on nails, the tactical realities of managing cash flow in a bootstrapped business, and the recent launch of their mass-market brand into 2,700 Walmart doors.

This is an essential listen for anyone interested in finance, marketing, and the "real world" challenges of scaling a consumer brand.
