I just interviewed one of my dream guests, Jo Malone!
Our guest today is a true icon in every sense of the word - not only in the world of fragrance and creativity but also in business and entrepreneurship. Jo founded and sold Jo Malone London, leaving the brand in 2006 and is no longer associated with the Jo Malone brand or its products. And now 20 years later - she's done it again - creating Jo Loves into another much-loved brand that reflects her passion for innovation and storytelling.
