“To me the coolest people, the people that I'm inspired by, are people who are just 100% themselves.” - my guest, friend, and designer Recho Omondi on trying to define the intangible quality of coolness. I could speak to Recho for hours and this live episode, all about expression, is no exception. Listen to hear us discuss:

• Developing a unique personal style
• How moving around growing up influenced her sense of self
• Finding your people on the internet (so important)
• Why there’s power in not needing validation
• Why Recho never cared if people liked what she liked
• Getting into beauty later in life
• Her hair story from bleach to braids
• The phenomenon of plastic surgery
• Tapping into self-confidence & trusting your intuition
