Synopsis

Ann McFerran was a broke artist in a Koreatown backhouse, driving a PT Cruiser, with a few thousand dollars and an idea for magnetic lashes nobody had made yet. No investors. No business degree. No safety net. By year two, Glamnetic hit $40 million in revenue. This week on Superwomen, Ann breaks down exactly how she got there through cold DMs with 30% conversion rates, hand-labeling products with friends at midnight, maxing out credit cards, and becoming her own influencer before TikTok even existed. We also get into why she's never taken outside funding, what she's building next with DIGI Beauty, and the mindset shift that separates founders who quit from founders who scale. If you're in the early, unglamorous stage of building something… this one's for you.
