What's the one thing about your business that can't be copied? Jo Malone CBE built two global fragrance empires from a council estate upbringing and a tiny Chelsea kitchen, and in this episode she reveals the single strategy behind both. She coaches Adam live on stage, extracts a story and turns it into a fragrance in real time, and breaks down the framework she's used to build billion-dollar brands.

Jo Malone CBE is the founder of two global beauty brands, Jo Malone London and Jo Loves, a pioneer of scent storytelling who started out as a skincare therapist with "not a penny to rub together," and the creator of the world's first fragrance paintbrush.

· She explains: Why every great brand needs a "Five Eyes" compass: inspiration, innovation, ignition, integrity and instinct

· Why storytelling, not the product itself, is the thing competitors can never copy

· Why the second business is harder than the first, and how she turned a £2 million loss into a brand again
