Hayley Paige: What I Wish I Knew Before My Name Became The Brand (it almost cost me everything)
May 2701:25:39Tap to summarizeWedding dress designer Hayley Paige sits down with Maggie Sellers Reum to talk about contributing to a $220M bridal brand, that challenged her identity, and her fight to win back the right to use her own name! Before Hayley became one of bridal fashion’s most recognisable names, she was a young designer signing what looked like her dream contract. Years later, that same opportunity turned into a legal battle that left her unable to use her own name commercially, forced her to hand over her social media passwords, and stripped her of the identity she had spent years building. Hayley opens up about the contract mistake she wishes more women understood, why she paid $263,000 to buy back her name and IP, and how money gave her the freedom to escape one of the hardest chapters of her life! They also get into modern wedding trends, Gen Z brides, Vogue weddings, coloured dresses, Taylor Swift’s dream dress, and the Bad Bunny Super Bowl bride moment.

Tezza Barton: I Built A $2.5M App That Every Girl Needed... With No Tech Experience Or Investors!
May 2001:22:52Tap to summarizeTezza Barton joins Maggie Sellers Reum on Hot Smart Rich to talk about building the TEZZA app, Instagram photo editing, creator culture, and turning a launch she nearly deleted into a $2.5M first year win! Before Tezza became the app every cool girl, creator and brand had on their phone, she was selling Lightroom presets, building failed businesses with her husband, and trying to move out of their 250-square-foot apartment… Tezza tells Maggie about the brutal app launch, the reviews that made her want to delete it all, and the pivot that turned the backlash into a real business. They also get into Tezza’s rules for the perfect Instagram photo, what makes a photo dump actually work, and how her obsession with taste turned the TEZZA app into something bigger than her personal brand. Plus, working with Rare Beauty, 818, Bumble and Summer Fridays, Selena Gomez approving her work, and why the future of tech needs more feeling, not less.

Pia Mance: Buying The Right Outfit Made Me a Millionaire Before 30 (The Blueprint For Building Your Dream Life)
May 1301:18:53Tap to summarizeFounder of Heaven Mayhem, Pia Mance, joins Maggie Sellers Reum on Hot Smart Rich to talk about what it takes to go from stay at home wife to power couple after building a $10M accessories brand. They get into the unspoken financial rules of marriage, pregnancy planning, viral products, personal stylists and refusing to be known as “just an influencer”. Pia started Heaven Mayhem with just $900 (from a transfer she set up from her husband’s account) , sold 11 necklaces on her first drop & turned it into one of the internet’s most wanted accessories brands! No business plan, just taste and ‘I can do it’ attitude! She shares how one faceless creator’s reel drove a $38K sales day, why dressing better changed her business, how she uses AI, and why people pleasers need to start saying no! Maggie also gets all the tea on Pia manifesting her pregnancy in Canva, preparing for motherhood as a founder, Kelly bags, credit cards, and building a life on her own terms!
