Today’s guest is a beauty industry powerhouse - Amanda Baldwin, the CEO behind not one, but two of the most influential beauty brands of the last decade: Supergoop! and Olaplex.

She’s the woman who turned sunscreen into a skincare essential and is now leading one of the most recognisable names in haircare through a bold reinvention.

In this episode, Amanda takes us behind the scenes - from leaving a high-powered job in private equity to scaling a start-up that changed how we protect our skin, to navigating the complexities of taking over a billion-dollar brand in a competitive, ever-evolving market.

We talk career pivots, storytelling strategy, raising capital, building great teams and why your 8-year-old self might already know your dream career.

Whether you're a beauty founder, CEO-in-the-making, or just obsessed with brand building, this is a masterclass you don’t want to miss.

In this episode Rochelle sits down with entrepreneur and former TOWIE star, Sam Faiers, to talk about building Revive Collagen from the ground up - without outside investment.

Sam opens up about her early years, the moment she walked away from TV, and the unexpected acne battle that led to her breakthrough product. She shares how she sold her house to fund her startup, the pressure of launching as a public figure, and the powerful role manifesting, failure, and grit played in her journey.

We also get the real story behind TOWIE’s pilot, how Sam used every platform she had to launch successful businesses, and why people don’t even realise she owns her own brand.

Whether you're building a brand, facing burnout, or curious about the business of beauty, this conversation is packed with insights, honesty, and inspiration.
