Fragrance aficionado Nicole Eckels launched Glasshouse Fragrances in 2006 with a spark of imagination and a belief in the power of fragrance to transform the everyday. Since it's launch nearly a decade ago, Glasshouse Fragrances has quickly grown to become a leading brand in the Australian fragrance market. Nicole was born and raised in New York and began her career as a makeup artist in SAKS Fifth Avenue. After a stint in San Francisco in corporate business and sales, Nicole decided she needed a more challenging outlet. She flew to the sunny shores of Australia with her son, looking for a sea change. It was in Australia that she found her 'true calling'. I really loved this conversation with Nicole as we discussed how she found her own brilliance. Some of the nuggets included discussion around: -Overnight success is actually a decade -Working hard to maintain a leadership position -Considering outcomes not just from a financial basis but also from the longer lasting effect it has on people and business -How luxury is beauty and how we cannot create excellence without beauty Listen in and enjoy
