    It’s Never Too Late to Reinvent Yourself and Step Into Your Own Power with Julie Chung, Co-Founder of T3

    Dr. Julie Chung is the co-founder of T3, a premium hair tool brand known for its sleek, innovative designs that deliver professional-grade styling results. Growing up, Julie always knew she wanted to pursue medicine but had a passion for fashion and beauty as well. It wasn’t until she met her then-boyfriend Kent that her love for beauty was reignited. Their journey began in 2003 when they both realized that Julie would apply skincare and makeup—using only premium products that made her skin glow—only to finish with an inexpensive hair dryer that would ruin her hair. Kent saw her frustration and created their first product: the T3 Featherweight hair dryer. The brand quickly became a hit, selling out multiple times and eventually winning over retailers who were initially hesitant to stock it. Today, the company remains 100% privately owned by both Julie and Kent and is ranked as the #3 hair tools brand in the United States. In this week's episode, we chat with Julie Chung about her journey from medicine to entrepreneurship and how she manages to balance both worlds. Julie shares how embracing uncertainty has been key to thriving as both a physician and co-founder of T3. She opens up about taking a year off from medical school, her parents' concerns, and how that decision ultimately steered her into entrepreneurship. She also reflects on the pivotal moments that led her and her now-husband Kent to launch T3, how they pushed past skeptics who didn’t understand their vision for hair tools, and the challenges of balancing her medical career with building a successful business. Julie discusses her personal journey with infertility, motherhood, and the importance of community among women. She also shares valuable lessons from hiring a CEO, letting go of control, and navigating the ups and downs of running T3 for two decades. In this episode, we’ll talk to Julie about: * Life isn’t always black and white. [03:42] * Julie’s passion for medicine and creativity. [08:13] * Taking a gap year in med school and moving to New York. [10:44] * The unconventional journey to entrepreneurship. [11:53] * How the idea for T3 was born. [13:35] * The early stages of T3. [22:06] * Getting into Sephora in 2016 and other retail stores. [24:18] * The power of word-of-mouth when building a brand. [26:59] * Being fully self-funded since 2004. [29:03] * Learning to let go of control. [36:57] * Julie's relationship with comparison. [41:59] * Taking a year off and moving to London in 2020. [47:54] * Misconceptions about starting a business.

  8. How This Founder Defied All Odds & Turned $5K Into a $50M Brand in Just 1 Year – Ann McFerran, Founder of Glamnetic

    9月30日

    How This Founder Defied All Odds & Turned $5K Into a $50M Brand in Just 1 Year – Ann McFerran, Founder of Glamnetic

    Ann McFerran is the founder and CEO of Glamnetic, a Los Angeles-based beauty brand that specializes in magnetic lashes, press-on nails, and eyeliners. Ann immigrated from Thailand to the U.S. when she was 7, joining her mom in a small California town where she was one of the only Asian kids in the area. Although she felt different and self-conscious, she found comfort and a sense of control in wearing false lashes, which helped her feel like she belonged. In 2019, Ann identified a gap in the beauty market for magnetic eyelashes, and with no business experience, she taught herself everything from product development to marketing, and founded Glamnetic from her small LA apartment with just a few thousand dollars. To get her business off the ground, she bootstrapped it, even offering free pizza to anyone willing to help pack and ship products. In July 2019, Glamnetic launched, and by 2021, Ann had sold over 1.5 million sets of nails, generated $50 million in sales, and achieved all of this while remaining completely self-funded. In this week’s episode, Ann opens up about her tough childhood in Thailand, the challenges of moving to the U.S., and the lessons she learned about stress and resilience. She shares how she went against her family’s expectations and made the bold decision to leave pre-med in college to pursue her passion for art and entrepreneurship. Ann discusses the early days of building her business from her Koreatown apartment, how creativity and visualization helped her manifest her goals, and the exact steps she took to create her first product – from finding suppliers to marketing the product with no money. She also shares how the business grew exponentially since its launch, and the challenges that come with that, how she navigated imposter syndrome along the way, how her definition of success is ever-changing, and so much more. In this episode, we’ll talk to Ann about: * Ann’s childhood and upbringing [03:17] * Moving to America and witnessing a new life for herself. [09:33] * Life as a Thai immigrant and family expectations. [10:46] * Pursuing a career as an artist. [12:35] * The inspiration behind Glamnetic. [17:11]  * Funding the first order and launching with 100 units. [22:39] * Early launch strategy & hitting over $1M monthly. [25:30] * Hiring the right people is crucial for growth. [33:06] * Approach in handling business challenges. [39:11] * How Ann met her business partner. [42:42] * Challenges in scaling the business. [45:59] * The evolving definition of success. [52:32] * Visualizing to manifest goals.
