Really love the brand idea and positioning and I gathered a lot of value from this interview but what really annoys me is their ignorance towards few specific things. At 29:24 she was conveying a point about "Conventional brands" operations and says "Mostly white men in suits" which is absolutely wrong to say (I am not white btw) what there brand really do is empower women and kill the stereotype around them of being weak and instead give them a place and community to make them feel better and know their worth which is amazing but they are using "White Men" stereotype to kill another stereotype which goes completely against their idea. I mean it's kind of dumb to just say that because not all men are like that and this is the side of toxic feminism that I personally cannot ever resonate with because they are just blaming one thing to kill another where in fact they should deal with both situations and call out the people specifically instead of categorising every men into one Box.
