Podcast appearances and mentions of Anna Ross

Rebienvenue sur le balado après trois mois d'hibernation dans ma grotte! Je suis tellement heureuse de recevoir aujourd'hui ma grande amie d'enfance et son premier bébé (premier bébé ever dans le studio Maman Lumière, pinch me someone). Quand Anna m'a contactée pour venir partager avec nous son récit d'accouchement, j'avais les larmes aux yeux. « J'aimerais que mon histoire puisse inspirer d'autres femmes », m'a-t-elle dit. SAY NO MORE. Elle qui s'imaginait avoir recours à l'épidurale a décidé, un mois avant la naissance de son garçon, de laisser derrière elle toutes ses peurs et de s'abandonner complètement à l'expérience. Nous parlons entre autres de la méthode d'Hypnonaissance, un livre qui aura eu un grand impact sur son mindset et sa première expérience d'enfantement.   Pour suivre Anna dans ses aventures: https://www.instagram.com/annaross/ Livre: Hypnonaissance: La méthode Mongan: accoucher en douceur avec l'autohypnose et la relaxation, par Marie F.

Hi everyone! Doone here - your host and hype girl. Thank you for tuning in to my solo episode this week.  Today, I want to dive into the blueprint of what it means to build a truly sustainable brand in 2022. To do this we're learning from 7 guests we've had on the show who are putting the planet first. These are the brands leading the charge into a future where sustainability will be the rule over the exception. It's super relevant for any biz builders out there, because if you're not incorporating the planet into your business model moving forward, you will be left behind. 66% of executives already believe a sustainability strategy to be a necessity in the market today, with 60% of consumers listing it as an important purchase criteria. I'm so sure that these numbers are only going to rise as we continue to feel to the harsh impact of climate change on our beautiful blue planet.  While this is so much more than a passing fashion trend, there is no denying that sustainability has become a bit of a buzz word in recent years. It's become so prolific it almost feels we're losing touch with both how serious we should be taking it, and just how difficult it is to properly achieve. I'm proud to have had these women on the show both open my eyes to the reality of the industry, and help us navigate how to go about this the right way. Let's jump straight into it. Here's are 7 key learnings from brands that are truly putting the planet first.  We learn from Kester Black founder Anna Ross about how you should incorporate sustainability in your business model from the get-go. From Charlotte Pienaar from Everyday Humans we're reminded about the importance of focusing on the nitty gritty of the supply chain. Renewal Mill's Caroline Cotto highlights the importance of finding your sustainability tribe along this journey. For Chippin' founder Haley Russel it's all about joining forces with your community to bring your product to life. In chatting to Isabel Aagaard from LastObject we're reminded of the importance of true passion in what you're building, whilst Blueland founder Sarah Paiji Yoo puts the greatest emphasis on the power of educating and empowering people to make better lifestyle choices. We round off the solo episode with a learnings from Repurpose founder Lauren Gropper on how to go the long-mile and not give up before you've reached your goals.  Let's get straight to it! This is me, for Female Startup Club.

In today’s episode I’m talking to the awesome Anna Ross – founder of Kester Black - Australasia’s most ethical beauty brand, making nail polish that’s kind on you and kind on the planet. Plenty of beauty brands claim to be ethical. But at Kester Black, sustainability and social justice aren’t just glossy marketing buzzwords. Anna is on a mission to redefine the industry standard – not only creating products that are vegan, sustainable, cruelty free and carbon neutral but by constantly striving to challenge the norm and initiate a new code of ethics for cosmetics that other brands can follow too. I’ve been aware of Kester Black for a while now and have used their nail polishes in the past however I always associated it as an Australian brand so you can imagine my delight when one day on an Instagram-deep-dive I discovered that not only was Anna, a kiwi – but she’d recently relocated back home and was now based in Wanaka. I reached out expecting that she would be way too important to talk to me but straight away she said yes which I obviously thought was so cool. Anna is a bona-fide cosmetics queen and has picked up loads of accolades along the way, including winning the Telstra Australian Young Business Women of the Year award in 2016. This is my longest conversation to date (sorry you guys they just seem to be getting longer and longer!!!) because it’s because Anna’s story is SO interesting – she is so wonderfully honest and candid about her business journey and I just hung off every word. I found her super inspiring and very funny, and I hope you love this conversation as much as I did.

In this episode, I interview Anna Ross, the Founder, and CEO of Kester Black, an Australian-made, cruelty-free and vegan lipstick, and nail polish brand. She is also the Co-Founder and Creative Director of Arné Skincare. Anna started out with a small jewelry business in Melbourne in 2009 when she was just 19 years old. To increase her product range, she added nail polish which soon tripled revenue, so she dropped the jewelry to focus on starting a leading ethical beauty brand. Now with lipstick added to the range, and warehouses in Melbourne, Wanaka, New Zealand, and the Netherlands, they also sell through distributors in Germany and Malaysia. Four years ago, sales were 10% online and 90% wholesale which has now been flipped to 89% online. The business tripled its revenues in the last three years, and in 2020 is growing 3% to 5% every week. She started with 1 full-time employee, peaked at 9 in 2017, and is now down to 2.5. She won the Telstra Business Woman of the Year and that went to her head so much that she added expensive overheads with an office and more team members before meditation woke her up. Anna testifies that she has had great Facebook ad success and is currently investing $50,000 a month, and shares a key contact to use at a Facebook agency. She describes a recession phenomenon called “The Lipstick Effect” which affects businesses in her industry. She funded her business solely from profits though she recently walked away from a $500,000 investment, turning it into a short term loan instead. Anna felt she has succeeded when this year cash flow improved and she says that the hardest thing about growing a small business is staff. She shares that the one thing she would tell herself on day one of starting out in business is, “Just do it. If I knew what I know now, I would never have done it” Stay tuned for more on Anna Ross’ amazing small business ownership journey. This Cast Covers: Being an Australian business located in the very beautiful Wanaka, New Zealand. A leading ethical beauty brand that sells polish and lipstick globally. Diversifying from wholesale brick and mortar to increase their online sales to about 89% of total sales. The Lipstick Effect: How the sales of lipstick and nail polish skyrocket during an economic recession. How they warehouse their products themselves and distribute them to retailers. Their presence in 300 stores in Australia, Germany, and Switzerland with strong partnerships with great wholesalers. Why she’s been careful all along in making sure that they own their intellectual properties themselves. From working in retail to starting Kester Black as a jewelry business and diversifying into other products. Growing exponentially by increasing its revenues by up to 915%. How she got a big head from winning the Telstra Business Woman of the Year award. The mistake she made by hiring more staff than she needed. Tripling their revenues in the last three years and growing by about 3% to 5% every week. Using Fulfill By Amazon and the numerous complexities that come with it. Working towards hiring someone to run the day to day activities of the business or exiting. How she has leveraged the power of Instagram and Facebook to sell more. Starting the business with $50 and growing it purely from cash flow. The lessons she learned from trying to get investor/Equity funding. Doing their R&D cost-free through their manufacturers. The stressful experience she went through when she found out that nail polish is classified as “Dangerous goods”, and cannot be shipped by post. Keeping a close eye on the financials of the business to ensure long term growth. The importance of being more of a manager to your team than the business owner. Looking for people who actually wanna work in your business and can share in your vision. How understanding herself and how people perceive her helped her grow personally and in business. Using Shopify and Asana to help streamline their daily operations. Additional Resources: KesterBlack Crystal Knows Harvey The E-Myth By Michael E.

In our fifth weekly episode of the first series of The Horse & Hound Podcast, we kick off with an exclusive interview featuring British dressage rider, trainer and H&H columnist Anna Ross. Our dressage editor Polly Bryan chats to Anna about how she got into the sport, the best advice she's ever been given, which of her horses she spent more time running after than riding when he was young and the horses she's excited about for the future. Our podcast host H&H's magazine editor Pippa Roome chats to our news editor Eleanor Jones and senior news writer Lucy Elder about this week's top stories including the possible reinstatement of the European showjumping championships and what's happening in equestrian sport closer to home. We also hear from vet Ricky Farr MRCVS, who this week is talking about gastric ulcers and when vets can use treatment options that are not licenced for horses. We hope you will enjoy it.

*Warning* There is a lot of potty-mouth speak in this issue. We speak with Shannon Kelly White about healthy eating, how she inadvertently started a body positive movement, and what the term "wellness" means to her. Anna Ross, founder of Kester Black, tells us what she does to fuel yourself and her business. We break down the term "mula bandha" for you. The voice you hear is that of our friend, Chelsey O'Connor. Music from NARCH.

Legalise drugs? Sounds crazy, right? Think again. Drug policy isn't shaped by medical, sociological, or psychological data. It's shaped by tabloid scare stories and politicians' fears of losing the conservative vote. This week we speak to researchers and activists Anna Ross and Rosalind Roux to dig behind the headlines and into the actual data (as well as some truly surprising insights into what politicians really say behind closed doors). Anna brings a sociological and legal perspective to drugs and makes it clear that there's no real moral or philosophical basis for current legislation. Rosalind focuses on the psychological and mental health aspects, as well as sharing her involvement with the growing movement of Students for Sensible Drug Policy network. We ask why drug policy advisors are routinely ignored by politicians; where addiction actually comes from (it's not from the drugs); and how governments fiddle the figures, avoid the facts, and ignore the realities... at least in public. There's still some cause for hope, though. It turns out there's a little-known moral crusade underway in Durham by the Police Commissioner, who's using his local power and funding to quietly decriminalising many substances. Is this the beginning of a revolution? We also share our personal stories of how to come out of the psychedelic closet to your friends and family and begin your own quiet revolution at home.

In this episode of the Power to the People, Kentuckians for the Commonwealth explores the who, what, when, where and why of voting in Kentucky. As we dive into our pre-election voter empowerment work at KFTC this fall, we take a look at underrepresented populations in Kentucky, and think about how me might lift up those voices to build a just economy. In the first half of the show, we’ll hear from University of Kentucky Law professor Joshua Douglas, an electoral law scholar and author of the new book Election Law Stories. We’ll also see what KFTC is doing to get more Kentuckians registered and to the polls this election season. In the second half, we’ll hear from Lexingtonian Jimmy Cheatham on why voting is important to him after not being able to vote for several years. And finally, we’ll talk with staff member Erik Hungerbuhler on how to get registered and volunteer with us before Election Day.
