Building a Luxury Skincare Brand | Supriya Mody of FutureMe on Self-Belief, Entrepreneurship, and Giving Wings to Dreams

Loading player...
What does it actually take to build something meaningful from nothing, and how do you keep going when the odds are against you?

Kate sits down with Supriya Mody, founder of luxury skincare brand FutureMe, for an honest and deeply inspiring conversation about entrepreneurship, self-belief, and the philosophy that drives them both: giving wings to your dreams.
Supriya spent seven years building FutureMe from the ground up. No shortcuts, no compromises.
Supriya shares what that journey really looked like, including the self-doubt, the obstacles, and the mindset that kept her going. In this episode:

- Why your dream should scare you - and why it's a good sign if they do
- How being handed a failing business became Supriya's first lesson in entrepreneurship
- The difference between happiness as a destination vs a daily choice
- Why an abundant mindset is strategic, not idealistic
- How to stay committed to a long-term vision without burning out

"If you're not going to enjoy the journey, forget about the destination." - Supriya Mody
