Description
<p>My guest today is Holly Brooke, a founder who spent years building a career at the sharp end of the beauty and wellness industry - from the Hut Group to talent management in Australia, from Gleam Futures to running operations at Caroline Hirons' Skin Rocks from its earliest days. She had a front row seat to what it takes to build a founder-led brand that people genuinely trust, and she learned lessons that most people only read about in business books.</p><p>But the business Holly eventually started wasn't born in a boardroom. It was born from twenty years of chronic constipation, a drawer full of unhelpful medical advice, a pill box containing thirty different supplements, and one colonic that changed everything.</p><p>We Are Regular is Holly's answer to a problem that affects twice as many women as men and that almost nobody talks about openly. In this conversation, we get into all of it - the career journey, the burnout, the moment she realised she needed to stop searching for a solution and start building one, the nine-month search for the right manufacturer, and what she's learned about building a brand in a category people are embarrassed to discuss.</p><p>This one is honest, funny, and full of the kind of practical insight that only comes from someone who has done the thing rather than just thought about it.</p><p>Find Holly <a href="https://www.instagram.com/hollyvictoriabrooke/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">here </a></p><p>Find We Are Regular <a href="https://www.weareregular.com/?srsltid=AfmBOorhTj67nxA7H8906sUDn4Zpquv6uKvkNsS_uRYtvwE4HCXxjA2j" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">here </a></p><p>Don't forget to join the conversation with me on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/nickydensonelliott/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">here </a></p>
