If you’ve been thinking I’m ready for my next thing, but I don’t know what it is… well, buckle your seatbelts and hang on tight. Brittany Driscoll is about to come in HOT with advice and guidance just for you!
If you haven’t heard of Brittany Driscoll, you’re in for a treat. She’s a friend of Lori Harder’s (my co-host for this episode) and spent years learning business and marketing as a key leader at Drybar. More recently, she co-founded Squeeze and in this episode she shares how she built it into the “Love Brand” it is today, despite having to shut down operations for an entire year during the COVID pandemic.
In this episode, we talk about how important it is for entrepreneurs to surround themselves with others who are willing to have raw conversations about the ups and downs of owning a business, and we then deep dive into the everyday life of entrepreneurship, discussing the journey from idea to execution, and the importance of choosing the right business partners.
Brit also spills the tea on what a “love brand” is (and the key ingredients for creating one), and how Squeeze navigated the challenges of the pandemic and maintained a sense of purpose for their employees and members.
