This is my story of FREE SCHOOL: how I burned out, burned it all down, and why the cult of online business pushed me to a mental breakdown. You want to know the true story — my story — of what really happened with FREE SCHOOL? And where I am a year later? Well, here it is. You might have heard about this from others or even from me and not known the whole story. And I'm finally ready to tell you. Last year I had a very public meltdown. I burned out badly within the cult of online business — and I shared it on Instagram in real time. I was on my stories each and every day, which was part of an experiment I was doing that I called FREE SCHOOL. Yes, I branded my own breakdown. You might have heard OTHER people brand me and my story. But I want to tell you myself. I also want to tell you about what this means about my work now, the book that I'm writing, and how I'm slowly pulling myself out from the darkness and rebuilding. I named a lot of names during FREE SCHOOL. But I didn't just name any old names. I didn't name small business owners. I named corporations masquerading as people to deflect responsibility. Because vague generalizations about “bro marketing” aren't helping people. Tony Robbins, Marie Forleo, Dean Graziosi, Russell Brunson, Jenna Kutcher, Rachel Hollis, Sophia Amoruso... All of these people literally sell their programs based on how they make tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. Here is text from GirlBoss Sophia Amoruso's sales page for her Business Class program: Named “One of the most inspiring entrepreneurs in America” by the Huffington Post, Sophia made her mark when she founded fashion retailer Nasty Gal, bootstrapping it to $12 million in annual revenue and eventually scaling the business to over $100 million. Their immense revenue is their #1 selling point. These are not the girl bosses and boy bosses next door. They are corporations with human faces. Yet, then they want to hide behind “just being people” — the problematic business models that made them millions aren't a reflection of systemic exploitation, it's just “people making mistakes.” Whoops! I named names because when we talk about the harms of this industry in generalities, it doesn't help people. I don't want people to spend tens of thousands of dollars before they find the truth. And this is ultimately what I'm writing my book about and I will share more about that with you soon. This book and the research I'm sharing with you in the Marketing Muckraking podcast honestly saved my life. It helped me un-gaslight myself. It helped me see my problems as part of a larger systemic issue. It helped me see that my branded self was something engineered by consumer capitalism. I'm writing this book because I don't want someone else thinking they're CRAZY because of the emotional toll brand culture takes on their lives. Ultimately, "my" work is really a contribution to OUR work. It's not just about me. It's about US. I can't do this alone. The world needs more muckrakers. Will you join me?

This week we look at the #girlboss to end them all, Sophia Amoruso, the founder of NastyGal clothing and then Girlboss Media. We look at the strange phenomenon of her rise to fame and how quickly her businesses have failed in the years after it. We also get distracted by the monopoly of fast fashion and how the girlboss seems to be on the way out of popularity. Pop culture moments of the week include Jeff Bezos flying in a rocket, Gabbie Hanna still isn't sorry, Brittok drama and Britney throwing shade at Jamie Lynn via instagram!

I think the most accurate word to describe the past year in our industry has been: unpredictable. With the global pandemic rocking Hair & Beauty Salons across the globe, and most closing their doors at one point or another, it’s important to remember that we always need to be prepared for anything. And a huge aspect of that, which I saw many Salon Owners struggle with in lockdown especially, was keeping their clients engaged. Hair & beauty professionals strive in that 1:1, client-facing environments, so when we were stripped of this ability… it was scary, to say the least! That’s why today, I’m chatting with Dani Everson. Dani is a Salon Owner & Skin Entrepreneur who specializes in super creative & popular ways of engaging her clients; during the Pandemic, but also in everyday life. Tune in today to hear Dani’s best advice on engaging clients and how to keep clients loyal to your Salon business.

This week we are talking about Depression, the 2020 kind. We have been noticing on ALL social platforms how much everyone is talking about how hard it is right now. We have regular depression, hanging out with seasonal, pandemic, election, and add a dash of anxiety and it's just been A LOT.Admittedly, we squirrel about TikTok, but Kristy still can't let go of her moment going viral and it being taken away, but we have to have some laughs now and again.We have been reading some books lately, to try and pull us out of this rough patch. Athena is reading "Untamed" by Glennon Doyle, "Girl Boss" by Sophia Amoruso, among others in her stack. Kristy started with "The Book You Wish Your Parents Had Read' by Philippa Perry but quirky realized it was a bit to much for the time and moved over to "Carry On Warrior" by Glennon Doyle and also has a stack to get through.Kristy has a playlist on Apple Music 'Wish You Pain' that she is adding to as she finds music that speaks to her during this journey. We also just want to remind everyone that Kendall, our guest from last episode, has a very supportive Facebook for anyone that just needs someone to talk to.2020 has been rough and we just want you to know that you are not alone.

Are there ways in which you can better support yourself, your family, and your spouse when it comes to discussing money matters? In this episode, Emily Nowlan, a Health, Fitness, & Lifestyle Coach shares very openly about helping more people in YES! Emily shares her hesitation and insights on growing herself when it comes to money. Many women feel helpless, clueless, naive when it comes to money matters. Women do not want to think about money, yet yearn to make more money. Many women are earning great incomes, yet do not know how to be good stewards of money or not knowing what to do with the money they are earning. Women express feeling not interested in money and finance, because money and finance feels overly complicated, cumbersome, and overwhelming. When in reality, money and finance are based in basic and succinct principles.

Sophia Amoruso, aka THE GIRL BOSS, is a New York Times bestselling author and serial entrepreneur. In her latest venture, she’s going wheels up with a new program called Business Class, an in-depth online entrepreneurship course that covers the fundamentals of starting and scaling your own business. Registration started yesterday at takebusinessclass.com. It’s a course Sophia says she’s prepared to teach like no one else, thanks to her successes and failures running high-profile businesses. You may know Sophia as the author of the NYT bestseller GirlBoss, which chronicles her personal journey of dumpster diving, shoplifting…starting an eBay account and turning it into a clothing empire called Nasty Gal. Since then it’s been a rollercoaster of a timeline. Shortly after appearing on the cover of Forbes in 2016 as one the country’s richest self-made women, Sophia’s business NastyGal, the primary source of her wealth, filed for bankruptcy. Sophia moved on quickly, raising money to start her next business Girl BossMedia…That company acquired by Attention Capital and earlier this year Sophia stepped away from the CEO position. And in recent months the GirlBoss movement, which she became the poster woman for, has been criticized for its lack of inclusivity and diversity. Sophia here gives a bold interview, talking openly about her ups and downs, what she makes of the “cancel culture” around GirlBoss…and why she’s actually glad she never became too too rich.
In her early 20’s Sophia Amoruso launched an eBay store selling vintage clothing. A few years later, Nasty Gal skyrocketed to $100 million in revenue and Sophia found herself (for better or worse) as an icon of female entrepreneurship. In this episode, Jeff and Sophia discuss the triumphs and travails of rising in the business world and how to avoid many of the pitfalls new business owners stumble into.

Charelle and Verity recently read an article called “Being a boss has nothing to do with having a vagina” and in particular it’s attack on the term #girlboss A millennial term, it has gone from empowering to degrading and we discuss if it still has a place in 2019. As two marketeers we discuss its place as a niche, and the identity it has carried since its birth (hello rose gold!). #girlboss now has a cult following but many female business owners are questioning it for two reasons. One, because it refers to girl, not woman. Two, because there is not an alternative for men - they are just a boss! Does girl make you feel more youthful? Is it right to have women only business events? Do we need to change the spelling of femxle and wimmin to own our language again? We chat about the difference between women and men when it comes to business and where are all the career men (aka that phrase is not needed!)? Generation Z aren’t big on gender but are we becoming too neutral and losing community spirit? Trending #boybabe Enjoy! ** This episode is sponsored by PropelHer's Book Club.

In this episode, Rachel is joined by an unbelievably inspiring entrepreneur known for being a leader in business (and named the richest self made woman of all time!); founder of Nasty Gal and GirlBoss - Sophia Amoruso. With these titles and successes behind her, Sophia jumps right in to speaking from the heart by sharing the depressive funk she has been in lately. Starting from nothing and growing a company worth 100 million+ that ended up bankrupt - Sophia shares her definition of failure, the mistakes she made in her first business, and what resiliency actually looks like. So often, it is people telling it like it is that is the most inspiring. Tune in for an uplifting episode that will get you through any of those crappy days we often have. After all, life will always have ups and downs we can’t control, but we can embrace the uncertainty and keep showing up.
Thanks for joining us! In this episode we're speaking to Apple Zappa. She runs her own clothing line (Bone Idol), is building momentum as a DJ and also makes her own music. She tells us about how she's changed her mindset recently - where she sets mini goals for herself that allows her to keep making progress in her passions while juggling it all with her day job. We also go into detail on how exactly she goes about marketing and selling her clothes. We love this episode because there's a really nice contrast to last week - Joe & Jordan have managed to build their company to the point where they're travelling the world to keep growing. Whereas Apple is still at an early stage where she's working out where she actually wants to take things and how she's going to do it. Plus, like everyone we speak to, she's just enjoying the process and we got the impression that it is all about the journey and not the destination for her. Apple mentioned the book #Girlboss by Sophia Amarouso - it's all about how Sophia went from being a high-school droupout to CEO of the fastest growing retail company in the world: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Girlboss-Sophia-Amoruso/dp/0241217938 Also check Apple out on: Insta: applezappa Twitter: @applezappa APPLEZAPPA.COM Also check her clothing line out at: http://www.boneidolclothing.co.uk/ Insta: boneidolofficial Hope you enjoy this - let us know what you think!

Sophia Amoruso was a community college dropout, working a variety of odd jobs to support herself, when she set up a humble eBay store called Nasty Gal Vintage. The rapid growth that followed has become the stuff of startup legend, and in this episode of the podcast, Amoruso shares what she learned from the roller-coaster ride of Nasty Gal, and tells us about her new endeavor, Girlboss Media. Over the course of a decade, Amoruso had a meteoric rise, during which she became the head of a retail empire, and was named one of the richest self-made women by Forbes in 2016. She also became a symbol of brash millennial entrepreneurs and a trailblazing icon for female entrepreneurs especially, following the release of her New York Times bestseller #GirlBoss. Then, the same year Netflix developed a scripted comedy loosely based on the book, Nasty Gal found itself filing for bankruptcy. In those 10 years, Amoruso had bigger highs and lows than many entrepreneurs experience in a lifetime, but the story isn't over yet. Today, Amoruso has moved on and is working on continuing the momentum of her book and the devoted following she built around her story.
