Welcome back to Fashion and Founders The Podcast. My name is Victoria Smith, and this week I'm joined with Jade Beguelin the co-founder of 4AM SKIN. You may have seen Jade from one of her TikToks about what hot girls in New York City are gatekeeping or wearing her viral under eye masks for her brand 4AM SKIN. She is how I found out about Pickle and the big silly trivia game, and she shares her best tips for growing on TikTok and some rumblings of what the hot girls are currently doing. 4am is not your regular skincare brand. Their launch party was at a club, they've partnered with 818, and their inspiration comes from the downtown girls that are up all night but still look great in the morning. Focusing on minimalism, they've created skincare that's easy enough to do at 4AM and actually works. You can find them on REVOLVE and urban outfitters and they just became part of Sephora's 2025 accelerate class. Jade and her cofounder Sabrina were also named Forbes 30 under 30 class of 2025.Jade and her co-founder met at Georgetown and as a fellow alum it was very fun to connect with someone else in the beauty fashion space. She shares some really great knowledge on starting a business in your 20s and more so let's get into it.

The Global Phenomenon Podcast | for Online Coaches, Consultants and Solopreneurs
Have you tried posting on TikTok yet? Whether you have or you haven't, I need to tell you about my experience posting there for the past 45 days, because it has been INSANE. I knew that before I got on TikTok I needed to get myself some serious help, so I recruited the help of Jaya Rose, who grew her business exponentially since starting her TikTok journey. Jaya was actually a guest on this podcast! Go back and listen to episode 109 for the full scoop. But what I learned over the past 45 days was so much more than academic. And if I was going to recommend TikTok, it had to come with a few warning labels. Which brings us to this episode, where I aim to share with you 3 things I learned on TikTok that NOBODY ELSE is talking about. And on this episode our focus will be on: 3 TikTok tips that nobody is talking about.
