This week on The Lazy CEO, Jane is joined by Gabrielle Requena, founder of Wrinkles Schminkles, the beauty brand behind the reusable medical-grade silicone wrinkle patches that pioneered an entirely new skincare category. Gabrielle launched the business in 2014 with one hero product, bootstrapped it from day one, grew it to $20 million in annual revenue, expanded into 22 countries, and after 12 years, successfully exited the business.

In this episode, we get into:
What it was really like to be on Shark Tank, and the rejection that followed.
The TikTok that generated $11M in sales!  
The actual cost of selling your business: the physical, mental and emotional toll.
What life is like post-exit.

She also chats through her new social strategy, what's changing about the way she's approaching content and why she's thinking differently about her personal brand.

And on the personal side, Jane gets into what's next for her, what growth looks like on the other side of 40 and the things she's thinking about as she heads into this next chapter.

This week on The Lazy CEO podcast, Jane is joined again by Grace Garrick, founder of Movement Agency. After years of advising founders on how to build brands and show up publicly, Grace is back to break down the difference between building in public and founder-led branding, and how to know which is right for your business.

In this episode, we get into:
The risks and rewards of becoming the face of your brand, and what happens when you eventually want to step away.
How to build a personal brand that cuts through without chasing virality.

Whether you're building your personal brand or figuring out how much of yourself should sit at the centre of your business, Grace breaks down how to make it work for you.
