Aspire with Emma Grede · From a Basement to a Billion Dollar Brand: The Greatest Founder Story You Never Heard · 26 Mar 2026 podcast

Has that been a steep learning curve?

So it has been a steep learning curve because what I've realized even with the acquisition is that, you know, not a lot of people are okay with change.

But I think that's the one thing that's inevitable is change.

Things are always going to change.

And for me, being a leader has become more about clarity and consistency, even under pressure and being able to show up for my team and still make decisions when things are uncertain or when things look uncertain for my team and still being able to empower them to operate in their gifts and encourage them.

Also being okay as a leader that I may have

encouraged you, empowered you, and have taught you different skill sets and talents from working with Maiel, and you may take those talents and gifts to another company, and that may be a competitor, and also being okay with that people may leave when they don't get it.

And you being OK and not cracking under pressure or not allowing your emotions to distract you, because when you build your company and you have people like it's like a family.

So you do have some type of emotional connection with these people.

And unfortunately, like you can't manage and take ownership of those people.

So I just try to empower them while they're under my leadership with the notion of like.

I'm giving you the skills and tools that you need to thrive in any other environment that you go in and not being led by emotions, but being led by facts and being able to make sound decisions, you know, when my mind is clear.

Yeah, so the future of Miel is to be not just a hair care company, but tapping into all aspects of beauty.

So from skincare to body care, being like an overall wellness brand that focuses on a holistic approach to beauty.

So more, more exciting.

Like we have some really exciting like skincare, body care products that I'm super excited about that we've been working on for the past like two years now.

Yeah, so I'm like all things marketing and like creative.

So I'm still very excited over like innovation.

And, you know, I love that P&G has allowed me to still continue to lead that aspect of the business.

Do you feel like you have to keep saying to everyone, nothing has changed?
