Highly recommend!

Lola and Frankie ask insightful questions that get to the core of what’s behind each brand- as someone who is soon starting their own brand, this podcast has been invaluable to my knowledge base going into it. Definitely would recommend to anyone from a young designer just getting started to people in the fashion industry who are over the lack of transparency. This provides a refreshing source of information and an intimate introduction to some great brands!

Intentional & well informed conversations!

Perhaps a bit biased as my brand was featured on season one but just love how The Majority Group has curated and highlighted these brands for us to learn from and how intentional the conversations are, diving into topics not typically explored by podcast hosts. I know firsthand the amount of research that goes into every episode! Kudos to Lola and Frankie! 💜💞🧡

Smart + Interesting

Lola and Frankie are smart, interesting, and provide a unique perspective on fashion. They offer space that allows their speakers to tell their stories while asking thought-provoking questions that lead to deeper discussion. I appreciate the platform Lola and Frankie give to the industry's thought leaders. The dialogue they are having is important and helps highlight the people who are working hard to be more inclusive and intentional.
