Iris Smit on being your own hype girl + ...

ERIKA DE PELLEGRIN
About this episode

This week I am joined by Iris Smit, the innovative beauty queen behind game-changing brands Quick Flick and Beauty Fridge. Today we chat all things from doing a degree you don't end up working in, running a business before entrepreneurs were trendy, how innovation for quick flick came about during her uni days and what it meant for her to be successful on shark tank but turn down the offer.


She is also super raw & vulnerable with me *TRIGGER WARNING* about her rock bottom and personal struggles growing up, which all came to a head in the peak of her 'business success'. This conflict ended up catapulting her into the most resilient and learning phase of her life, which has so much to teach us all. Expect using work as a distraction, being your own hype girl, being flexible with your morning routine, tips for starting business and staying curious as a key ingredient to success.


I know you will LOVE not only this chat, but Iris too. Tag myself @thebalancetheory and Iris @irisjade and share what your biggest takeaway were.


Until next time,

Stay curious and balanced.
