Female Startup Club

This one’s different.

In this episode, Doone is in the hot seat. Interviewed by her husband, this is a fast, slightly chaotic, very honest conversation about why she barely posted last year, what was actually going on behind the scenes, and how she still manages to build, lead, and follow through on what she sets her mind to.

We talk ambition, energy, focus, pressure, and the parts of success that don’t show up online. No hype. No polished narrative. Just the real mechanics of how she thinks, decides, and moves.

Our guest today is a true icon in every sense of the word - not only in the world of fragrance and creativity but also in business and entrepreneurship. Jo founded and sold Jo Malone London, leaving the brand in 2006 and is no longer associated with the Jo Malone brand or its products. And now 20 years later - she's done it again - creating Jo Loves into another much-loved brand that reflects her passion for innovation and storytelling.

Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl.

We’re wrapping up our three-part bootstrapping mini-series with a total powerhouse—Ali Clarke, founder of Bondi Blades, Australia’s first at-home derma razor company.
Bondi Blades started as a pandemic baby with just a couple hundred bucks and quickly grew into so much more than a side hustle. Last year, Ali hit $1 million in revenue and landed her products in over 1,000 stores across Australia. How’s that for impressive?

In this episode, Ali takes us through her exact blueprint for launching Bondi Blades and shares actionable tips for every founder starting their journey today. She’s breaking down what worked for her in those scrappy early days, including her experience at Cosmoprof trade show—what it cost, what she learned, and how it impacted her business.

This is one of those episodes that will light a fire under you, no matter where you’re at in your entrepreneurial journey.

Alrighty, let’s dive into it. This is Ali for Female Startup Club.
