Summary
“When it comes to business, I have zero fear,” says Julia Haart, entrepreneur and star of Netflix's “My Unorthodox Life.” This week, Julia joins Lindsay Pinchuk to share her remarkable journey from an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community to becoming a self-made businesswoman.
Julia recounts the key moments that gave her the courage to leave her restrictive upbringing at the age of 42 and pursue a career in fashion. Despite having no formal education, she launched a groundbreaking shoe collection and became the creative director at La Perla, where her fresh perspective and creativity played a key role in shaping La Perla’s direction during her time as creative director.
In this episode, Julia dives into the power of self-belief, sharing how her personal struggles now fuel her desire to uplift others. What role does self-confidence play in changing your own path? For Julia, it was essential, and she’s dedicated to empowering women to achieve financial independence. Her latest venture, Body by Julia Haart, is a continuation of her mission to improve women’s lives by combining style and comfort.
Julia Haart’s resilience and the influence she’s had on both the fashion industry and beyond serve as a powerful reminder: with enough courage and determination, it's possible to break free from societal expectations and design a life that’s truly your own.
Quotes
- “I’m an extremely proud Jew and am fighting on behalf of the Jewish people, especially since anti-Semitism has exploded since October 7th. I’m not a fan of ultra-Orthodox religion of any kind or any form of extremist behavior.” (05:13 | Julia Haart)
- “Something that most women have tremendous difficulty with is acknowledging they’re not happy and giving themselves permission to choose a different life.” (14:18 | Julia Haart)
- “People always ask me, ‘Oh my God, how do you walk in those high heels?’ My answer has always been, ‘One step at a time.’ And that is really an answer for how to build a business—one step at a time.” (26:25 | Julia Haart)
- “I built a billion-dollar business in two years through COVID. Why? Because I took a modeling agency, transformed it into a media conglomerate, and started selling data and packaging media deals in a way that, for the first time in history, made your ad dollar quantifiable and trackable… I changed the way people market. So, it’s always about not just looking at what is but finding the spaces in between and identifying what isn’t. That’s how you build a business.” (33:37 | Julia Haart)
- “We have to tell our stories and we have to tell them truthfully. We have to show the bumps and the bruises. Otherwise, we just make women feel worse about themselves, not better.” (39:26 | Julia Haart)
