Summary

This is the first time I officially met Rechelle Balanzat, which is rare for my podcast guests. But prior to our interview, I did my homework and was completely FASCINATED by what she does and how she’s reinventing and reviving a somewhat tried-and-true experience (laundry and dry cleaning) with technology. Rechelle founded JULIETTE, a full-service laundry company that picks up, cleans and delivers clothes with a click of a button in the heart of New York City. JULIETTE clearly sits at ...

0:00.0	Welcome back to the Jasmine Star Show. My guest today is Rachel Valenzat. I actually had
0:17.8	to ask her to make sure that I get the pronunciation. I can't even say pronunciation. Right. Here
0:23.7	I am the O the irony is I'm trying to verify if I had to say somebody's last name and I don't
0:27.5	even know how to spoke English. Here's the reason why I am so fascinated with Rochelle. I had
0:31.8	explained that we often get pitched white often to be a guest on the Jasmine Star Show. And so when
0:37.6	we are going through applications, I came across her bio as a serial entrepreneur, an immigrant,
0:42.2	a CEO, and a tech founder, and I'm like, huh, interesting. But here's the thing that I think is
0:47.3	the direct value to you as a listener. So Rochelle's latest venture is Juliet. It is a tech first,
0:53.6	premium, laundry, and dry cleaning company based in New York City. Now you're probably thinking,
0:59.1	wait, what does tech and dry cleaning have to do with my business? Well, let's take a very
1:05.0	pullback idea of what's happening here. Traditional industry, ready to be disrupted. Somebody who has
1:12.6	like the guts and the hutspot and just the desire to say, can I look at a traditional situation and
1:17.8	make it different? And that is where Rochelle has decided to jump in. And I want to have a conversation

1:28.4	would think would be traditional. Is there a new or different way for you to look at your
1:33.0	business? Well, Rochelle is here to break it down for us today. I am so excited. Rochelle,
1:37.5	welcome to the show. Thank you so much. I'm so excited to be here and I can't wait to share
1:44.1	what I've learned with everyone. Okay, so I have to say this is the first
1:48.2	week met and that's a little bit rare because the vast majority of people I bring on the podcast,
1:52.6	I know in some personal or professional capacity. So I did my homework before bringing you on the show
1:58.2	because we were fascinated with everything you're doing and the way that you're showing up to help
2:02.2	other people in traditional markets do very, in traditional markets to do very untraditional things.
