In this episode, the discussion begins with Gwen's journey as the founder of The Laundress, a premium, eco-friendly laundry and home cleaning brand that she successfully sold to Unilever in 2019.

Gwen shares the story behind the launch of The Fill in June 2024, a private members-cleaning community and collection of sustainable solutions. She emphasizes the brand’s mission to combine luxury with minimal environmental impact, placing wellness at the heart of cleaning through the use of aromatherapy and its sensory benefits. Gwen's innovative approach ensures these products "work even harder for you," enhancing the cleaning experience.
The conversation also touches on Gwen's diverse background, including her early career at Ralph Lauren in home design, her focus on dry cleaning and other care products, and her unique skills in tailoring, hat making, and shoe making, developed during her studies abroad and how it has influenced her disciplined and dynamic approach to business.
