Agnes Baddoo recounts her journey from an art major to a fashion stylist at Elle and French Vogue, eventually moving to Los Angeles where she built her career. Inspired by her mother's old bag, she launched her leather goods brand in 2013, starting with prototypes from a saddle maker and selling out at a crafts fair. She emphasizes the importance of phasing out one role while phasing into another and shares how her mother's death was a life-changing event that inspired her business. Agnes discusses her spiritual practices, including kundalini yoga and candle magic, and identifies her gift as being a connector. She addresses her shadow aspect of inconsistent follow-through and how she delegates detail-oriented tasks to compensate. The conversation also covers sustainable design, using leather waste, and the importance of starting a business from personal passion and testing products in real life.
