Great Company with Jamie Laing

Georgie Coleridge Cole is the founder of SheerLuxe, one of the UK’s leading digital lifestyle brands.

Over twenty years, Georgie built SheerLuxe from a weekly newsletter into the go-to destination for fashion, beauty, travel and interiors.

Then she sold it for £40 million.

Georgie’s story is proof that a simple idea can become something extraordinary. So, I couldn't wait to sit down with her for this week's episode of Founders Friday.

In our conversation, Georgie shares:
- The purpose behind the SheerLuxe empire
- Why she thinks the creator economy is booming
- The big business idea she never followed through with
- The difference between a good idea and a good business

Georgie is proof that an idea, done well and done consistently, can become an empire.

Georgie Coleridge Cole is Great Company.
