Jenny Lei is the founder of Freja, the cult-favorite vegan handbag brand that you've probably seen on Hailey Bieber, Sarah Jessica Parker, and all over your feed.But here's what you might not know. Jenny started Freja with no fashion background, no design experience, and no investors. She funded it herself with money she made from a dropshipping business she built after Googling "how to make money fast online" because she had to pay for her life living in NYC. She launched a work bag brand out of her New Jersey apartment in February 2020, weeks before the entire world stopped going to the office. She signed up two thousand people to an email list, sent her launch email, and didn't get a single sale. And she was doing all of it on a visa, with a clock ticking on whether she'd even get to stay in the country. Today, Freja is a multi-million dollar brand and one of the most talked-about names in the space.In this episode, Jenny gets really honest about the slow years nobody talks about, why she believes growing too fast can actually be a curse, and the moment she broke down crying in an airport because she'd been holding the entire business together by herself, with no systems underneath her. We talk about the difference between selling products and creating a brand, how intuition is built through failure, and learning to separate who you are from the company you create. She also opens up about burnout, the systems and team she built behind Freja, and what it was like to step into the spotlight after years of hiding. If you're in one of those quiet, slow seasons right now — doing everything right, waiting for it to pay off — this is the conversation you need to hear.In this episode, we'll talk to Jenny about:* Why growth should be measured by learning, not just revenue. [02:37]* The downside of growing too fast without understanding why it worked. [03:58]* Growing up with curiosity and the freedom to explore new interests. [04:05]* Navigating identity after moving between China and the United States. [06:00]* How a vegan Instagram account became an early entrepreneurial venture. [06:58]* Separating personal identity from the business you build. [09:08]* Why the business should work for you—not the other way around. [10:00]* From Cornell graduate to Googling how to make money online. [13:55]* Learning the fundamentals of online selling through dropshipping. [15:22]* The difference between selling products and building a brand. [17:05]* Creating Freja after failing to find the perfect work bag. [19:25]* Using naive optimism to design a product without a fashion background. [20:25]* Launching just before the pandemic and facing an immediate setback. [24:25]* Why volume, consistency, and paid ads fueled early growth. [26:02]* The gradual rise of Freja and the success of the Chrystie collection. [27:58]* Reaching a turning point and finally viewing the company as a real business. [29:07]* Burnout, team growth, and learning how to build systems at scale. [31:17]* The marketing channels that mattered most from startup to scale. [35:23]* Stepping into the founder spotlight and sharing the story behind the brand. [37:48]* How journaling became the most impactful business tool. [42:33]* Using ChatGPT and the Socratic method for better decision-making. [44:12]* Moving to London, evolving as a designer, and reimagining the future of Freja.

Fluent Fiction - Danish: A Serendipitous Swap at Copenhagen's Busy Airport Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/da/episode/2026-06-16-07-38-19-da Story Transcript:Da: Midt i sommerens travlhed ved Københavns Internationale Lufthavn skete der altid noget uventet.En: In the midst of the summer hustle and bustle at Københavns Internationale Lufthavn, something unexpected always happened.Da: Flugttavler skiftede konstant, og rejsende hastede gennem terminalerne med blikke faste mod deres destination.En: The flight boards constantly changed, and travelers rushed through the terminals with their eyes fixed on their destinations.Da: Mellem disse mennesker gik Mikkel, en mand i jakkesæt, altid ordnet med skinnende sko, sin rene mappe og det sundeste danske rugbrød i sin taske.En: Among these people was Mikkel, a man in a suit, always tidy with shiny shoes, his clean folder, and the healthiest Danish rye bread in his bag.Da: Han havde en vigtig forretningsrejse til Berlin på programmet.En: He had an important business trip to Berlin on the agenda.Da: Ikke langt fra ham var Freja, en ung kvinde med afslappet tøj og en lystig rygsæk fyldt med drømme og lidt praktisk rejsegejl til hendes kommende eventyr i Sydøstasien.En: Not far from him was Freja, a young woman in casual clothes with a cheerful backpack filled with dreams and a bit of practical travel gear for her upcoming adventure in Southeast Asia.Da: Idet de begge nåede sikkerhedskontrollen, forsøgte Mikkel at holde fokus.En: As they both reached the security checkpoint, Mikkel tried to stay focused.Da: Men i strømmen af mennesker, der skubbede og skyndte sig med livlig kækhed gennem sikkerhedstjekket, tog han uforvarende Frejas rygsæk i stedet for sin egen.En: But in the stream of people pushing and rushing with lively zest through the security check, he inadvertently took Freja's backpack instead of his own.Da: Det gik ikke op for ham, før han sad i venteområdet, langt væk fra lydløse beskedtoner og knas af småkager.En: He didn't realize until he was sitting in the waiting area, far away from silent message tones and the crunch of cookies.Da: Han skulle bruge sine dokumenter til forretningsmødet, da han fremdrog en guidebog til Thailand og en farvestrålende sarong.En: He needed his documents for the business meeting when he drew out a guidebook to Thailand and a colorful sarong.Da: Samtidig sad Freja ved nærmeste kaffebar, klar til at tage sin rejsebibel frem.En: Meanwhile, Freja sat at the nearest coffee bar, ready to take out her travel bible.Da: I stedet mødte hun et hav af papirer og kontorartikler, der stank af formalitet.En: Instead, she was met with a sea of papers and office supplies that reeked of formality.Da: Hun grinede, lidt rystet, men ikke overrasket over Lufthavnens magi.En: She laughed, a bit shaken, but not surprised by the airport's magic.Da: Med et skævt smil besluttede hun at blive siddende i håb om, at ejeren af den byttede taske ville komme forbi.En: With a crooked smile, she decided to stay put in the hope that the owner of the swapped bag would come by.Da: Mikkel kiggede febrilsk rundt og så sig nødsaget til at finde Freja.En: Mikkel looked around frantically and knew he needed to find Freja.Da: Han spurgte sig vej blandt travle rejsende og nåede frem til Freja, sidst da han var tæt på at gå om bord.En: He asked his way among busy travelers and reached Freja, just as he was about to board.Da: "Er du Freja?"En: "Are you Freja?"Da: spurgte han lettere åndeløst, idet han kunne se sin egen rygsæk ved hendes fødder.En: he asked, slightly breathless, as he could see his own backpack at her feet.Da: "Jeg tror, vi har byttet tasker," sagde Freja leende, og de to udvekslede taskeindhold og latter.En: "I think we switched bags," said Freja, laughing, and the two exchanged bag contents and laughter.Da: Med deres tasker tilbage i de rette hænder skilles deres veje hurtigt.En: With their bags back in the right hands, their paths quickly diverged.Da: Idet de gik mod hver deres gate, kiggede Mikkel en sidste gang mod Freja og overvejede, hvordan hendes frie ånd kunne give et pust til hans lidt for skematiske liv.En: As they walked toward their respective gates, Mikkel glanced one last time at Freja and considered how her free spirit could bring a breath of fresh air to his somewhat too schematic life.Da: Freja på sin side tænkte, at nogle gange krævede selv eventyr lidt planlægning – nok til, at man fik sine ting med sig.En: Freja, on her part, thought that sometimes even adventures required a bit of planning—enough to ensure you took your belongings with you.Da: Mikkel boardede flyet med en ny tanke om, at eventyr, som Frejas, måske ikke var så langt fra hans rækkevidde, mens Freja gik mod sin gate med en ny respekt for planlægningens kunst.En: Mikkel boarded the plane with a new thought that adventures like Freja's might not be so far out of his reach, while Freja headed toward her gate with a newfound respect for the art of planning.Da: Og et sted imellem lufthavnens travlhed fandt de en fælles forståelse for livet på farten.En: And somewhere amidst the airport's hustle and bustle, they found a mutual understanding for life on the move.

spot in her dream program.Da: Hun ønskede så inderligt at klare det godt, men følte også en stigende uro i maven.En: She so dearly wished to do well, but also felt a growing unease in her stomach.Da:

really nervous," she said honestly.Da: "Jeg har brug for at klare mig godt, men jeg ved ikke, hvordan jeg kan slappe af uden at føle dårlig samvittighed."En: "I need to do well, but I don't know how

found a way to take back control.Da: "Tak, Emil," sagde hun, mens de gik ud i den stadigt lysende sommeraften.En: "Thank you, Emil," she said as they stepped out into the still-bright summer evening.Da: "Altid, Freja.En: "Always, Freja.Da: Du klarer det fantastisk," svarede han med et glimt.En: You're doing great," he replied with a glint.Da: Freja følte sig bedre rustet til den kommende dag, og ikke bare til at tackle sin eksamen, men til at finde balance i det, hun elskede at gøre.En: Freja felt better prepared for the coming day, not just to tackle her exam, but to find balance in

Transcript:Da: Forårssolen skinnede ind gennem de store vinduer i det lokale supermarked.En: The spring sun shone in through the large windows of the local supermarket.Da: Indenfor gik Mikkel, Freja og Lars ned ad gangen med kølebokse fyldt med sprøde grøntsager og nyskårne blomster.En: Inside, Mikkel, Freja, and Lars walked down the aisle with coolers filled with crisp vegetables and freshly cut flowers.Da: Mikkel, en midaldrende mand med venlig øjenkontakt, gik imellem sin søster Freja og sin bror Lars.En: Mikkel, a middle-aged man with friendly eye contact, walked between his sister Freja and his brother Lars.Da: Han tænkte på den kommende familiebålfest, som han ønskede skulle blive en fredelig begivenhed uden de sædvanlige skænderier.En: He thought about the upcoming family bonfire party, which he hoped would be a peaceful event without the usual arguments.Da: Men han vidste, at hans familie havde en uheldig tendens til at flamme op over de mindste ting.En: But he knew that his family had an unfortunate tendency to flare up over the smallest things.Da: De gik forbi hylderne med grilltilbehør, og Mikkel standsede op ved forskellige valgmuligheder for ketchup, sennep og marinader.En: They walked past the shelves with grilling accessories, and Mikkel stopped at the various options for ketchup, mustard, and marinades.Da: "Okay, Freja og Lars, vi har brug for jeres mening her," sagde han med et forsigtigt smil.En: "Okay, Freja and Lars, we need your opinion here," he said with a cautious smile.Da: Freja, med sit skarpe intellekt, pegede hurtigt på en krukke med sennep.En: Freja, with her sharp intellect, quickly pointed to a jar of mustard.Da: “Denne er perfekt,” sagde hun bestemt.En: "This one is perfect," she said decisively.Da: Lars kiggede på krukken med sennep, rystede på hovedet og forsøgte at holde sin stemme rolig.En: Lars looked at the jar of mustard, shook his head, and tried to keep his voice calm.Da: "Jeg synes, vi skal tage denne," sagde han og pegede på en anden krukke.En: "I think we should take this one," he said, pointing to another jar.Da: Mikkel kunne føle spændingen stige imellem dem, som en tynd elektrisk strøm i luften.En: Mikkel could feel the tension rising between them, like a thin electric current in the air.Da: Mikkel tog en dyb indånding og forsøgte at gribe ind, før diskussionen brød ud i et fuldgyldigt skænderi.En: Mikkel took a deep breath and tried to intervene before the discussion broke out into a full-fledged argument.Da: "Hvordan ville det være, hvis vi tog begge mærker?En: "How about we take both brands?Da: Så kan vi se, hvilken der smager bedst på dagen," foreslog han i et forsøg på at være diplomatisk.En: Then we can see which one tastes best on the day," he suggested in an attempt to be diplomatic.Da: Freja og Lars udvekslede et blik og lod til at overveje hans forslag.En: Freja and Lars exchanged a glance and seemed to consider his suggestion.Da: Endelig nikkede Freja med et skævt smil, og Lars trak på skuldrene.En: Finally, Freja nodded with a crooked smile, and Lars shrugged.Da: "God idé, Mikkel," sagde Freja til sidst, lidt modstræbende.En: "Good idea, Mikkel," Freja eventually said, a bit reluctantly.Da: Med få håndbevægelser var skænderiet afværget, og de tre fortsatte deres indkøbstur i en mere rolig stemning.En: With a few hand gestures, the argument was averted, and the three continued their shopping trip in a more relaxed mood.Da: Mikkel lod sig fylde med en stille selvsikkerhed.En: Mikkel let himself be filled with a quiet confidence.Da: Han begyndte at forstå, at han kunne skabe en stemning af harmoni og samarbejde med tålmodighed og diplomati.En: He began to understand that he could create an atmosphere of harmony and cooperation with patience and diplomacy.Da: Da de til sidst forlod supermarkedet, skinnede solen stadig, og Mikkel kiggede ud over parkeringspladsen med en følelse af håb i hjertet.En: As they finally left the supermarket, the sun was still shining, and Mikkel looked out over the parking lot with a feeling of hope in his heart.Da: Måske ville den kommende bålfest blive præcis sådan, som han havde ønsket det, med latter og fællesskab i stedet for strid.En: Perhaps the upcoming bonfire party would be exactly as he had wished, with laughter and togetherness instead of conflict.Da: Mikkel følte sig klar til udfordringen og besluttede, at uanset hvad skulle denne forårsfest blive startskuddet til en ny tradition i deres familie: én hvor de kunne samle sig uden at fare op, omfavne forskelligheder og huske vigtigheden af varme relationer.En: Mikkel felt ready for the challenge and decided that no matter what, this spring party should be the starting point for a new tradition in their family: one where they could gather without flaring up, embrace differences, and remember the importance of warm relationships.

vej.En: Soren watched them leave, knowing that his doubts diminished each time he helped someone find their path.Da: Dermed havde de alle tre fundet en ny begyndelse på Bornholm.En: Thus, all three of them found a new beginning on Bornholm.Da: Ganske sjældent er lyden af bølgende blade og fjernt hav nok til at ændre et liv fuldstændigt.En: Quite rarely is the sound of rustling leaves and distant
