Summary
On today’s solo episode, I’m back with Part Three of my 2026 Glow Up Series, breaking down the real business playbook for building a scalable brand. We talk about self-funding vs. raising capital, different funding rounds, how to get clear on what you actually need to start, and why staying scrappy early can be a major advantage. I also cover brand growth—how to build your Instagram as a founder, create content that resonates, network smarter, and move through imposter syndrome—plus key lessons from brands like Rhode, Good Girl Snacks, TYB, and Jacquemus. If you’re building a brand in 2026 and want to do it intentionally, this episode is for you. Enjoy!

| 0:17.3 | Actually having the resources to make those big dreams happen. |
| 0:22.7 | And hey, dreams can sometimes be private jets, but other times, they can look a little something like having the best |

| 1:19.5 | that I got asked about most from the question box that I put out ahead of this episode and just |
| 1:25.9 | typically the conversations that I have |
| 1:28.0 | over DMs with you guys. Then of course if you are interested in hearing array specific advice, |
