Beauty can be frivolous, intimate, commercial and deeply tied to dignity.
Simon and Julie sit down with Assyrian-Australian writer, creator and founder Minnie Isaac, the force behind White Rabbit Social and personalised skincare platform dewwie.com, for episode 81.
Minnie traces a path from debilitating endometriosis and adult acne to building an online community grounded in honesty, accessibility and practical support. She explains why self-neutrality can be more useful than forced self-love, how asking one knowledgeable friend turned a $50 content quote into $450, and how “walkaway power” helps founders negotiate without shrinking themselves.
Minnie, on the recent performers at Startup Standup, also shares the candid lessons from setting out to do the right thing at White Rabbit Social by paying contributors generously before the business model could sustain it, and offers a useful operating philosophy: keep stumbling upwards, falling a little further forward each time.
