Kate Morris: Adore Beauty
09/30/19 • 34 min
Welcome to Lady Startup the podcast where we find out how to build a business from women who’ve done it.
Rachel Corbett’s guest today is Kate Morris, founder of the online beauty store, Adore Beauty.
In an age where online shopping has become such a huge part of our everyday life, it’s amazing to think there was ever a time when people did all of their shopping in stores.
But that’s exactly what Kate did.
After working at the beauty counter and noticing how intimidating it was for women to shop for beauty products, Kate decided wanted to help them do it at home. And so, Adore Beauty was born.
So how did she go from borrowing $12K from her boyfriend’s parents to running one of Australia’s most successful online retailers?

Stephanie Reuss and Victoria Stuart: Beam Australia
Welcome to Lady Startup the podcast where we find out how to build a business from women who’ve done it.
Rachel Corbett’s guests today are Stephanie Reuss & Victoria Stuart, founders of Beam Australia.
Being a new mum comes with many different challenges including finding sustainable part-time work. Vic and Steph had noticed it with their own kids, that they were finding it impossible to spend enough time with family and work a full time job, but that part-time work at the executive level wasn't available. So they decided to create a platform to connect part-time professionals with great employees.
Since it's creation, Beam Australia has contributed $13 million in incremental salaries to the economy (through new jobs that couldn’t have been created without part-time work) and over $800k to women’s superannuation, decreasing future reliance on social welfare.
So how did two mates from corporate executive backgrounds manage to forge a new direction for part-time work in Aus?
