    How To Build a Seven-Figure Activewear Brand : Jordan Lansdown, Founder of JLuxe

    Welcome back to another episode of Business Class with your host, Vicky Owens. In this week’s episode, Vicky is joined by the inspiring Jordan, founder of the activewear brand JLuxe - a brand built on inclusivity, confidence, and designing flattering pieces for all body types. Jordan created JLuxe after struggling to find activewear that truly fit her as a curvaceous woman whose weight fluctuated over time. She noticed that even when brands offered sizes beyond an XL, the designs often lacked style, confidence, and representation. Feeling unseen by the industry, Jordan decided to create the kind of activewear she wished existed - pieces that feel comfortable, supportive, and genuinely flattering. In this conversation, Jordan opens up about balancing the realities of building a business alongside life as a new mum, and how she’s grown JLuxe through community-led and influencer marketing. She explains why it’s so important to her that anyone promoting the brand is a genuine fan of the products, not just a paid partnership. Jordan also shares the personal challenges of becoming the face of her brand. Stepping outside her comfort zone and showing up on social media wasn’t easy, but she reveals why it became a necessary step in scaling JLuxe and building trust with her audience. This episode is packed with real-life business lessons, honest conversations, and practical insight from a founder who is still actively growing her brand -making it a must-listen for entrepreneurs, brand builders, and anyone navigating the early stages of business growth.

What began as a passion project quickly turned into a thriving business as their videos went viral and their audience exploded. In this episode, they reveal the tips, tricks, and wisdom millionaires have shared with them, the mindset shifts they’ve learned, and the bold moves they’ve made along the way - including the hilarious story of how they secured an interview with Steven Bartlett by pretending to be part of a camera crew just to ask him a question. Khareem and Jamaal also open up about how they met, how they built their partnership, and how they transitioned The Venture Room from a creative side project into a fast-growing business with a powerful mission. If you’re interested in entrepreneurship, storytelling, or learning directly from people at the top, this episode is packed with insight, humour, and the kind of motivation that only comes from bold risk-takers.
