The truth about money, marriage, and building a brand nobody asked for. The MJ Freitas Story
from The Dressing Gown CEO · host The Dressing Gown CEO
MJ Freitas built Floractive into one of the most recognised names in the Oceania hair industry, introduced an entire technology category to a market that had no word for it, trained over 3,000 hair artists through her online university, and did all of it beside her husband, Sam, while raising two kids. On paper it reads like a dream. In reality it was 9,000 salons to convince, a product nobody had heard of, and a version of her business she genuinely wasn't sure would survive.In this episode we get into the fights between co-founders that most people are too polite to bring up. The copycats who arrived after she did and combatting imposter syndrome, especially when somebody said to her ‘Who are you? You’re a nobody.’MJ is one of the rare ones who will tell you the real numbers, the real panic, and the real price. If you've ever wondered what it actually takes to create something where nothing existed before, this is the conversation.Hit play and settle in.
