Show Notes

The Exact Hot Seat Podcast | Episode 14

Featuring: Giovanna Minenna, Founder of Brows by G

 

In Episode 3 of our RRC Polytech Alumni Series, Amanda Buhse and Lisa Thompson sit down with Giovanna Minenna — the original Brows by G. Brow queen. Beauty mogul. And now, for the first time ever, unfiltered truth-teller.

CANCEL CULTURE. DRAGONS’ DEN. ANONYMOUS ACCOUNTS.

You’ve heard the whispers. You’ve seen the headlines. Now, you’ll hear her side.

From building a seven-figure beauty brand and landing on Dragon’s Den, to becoming the target of the viral NotMyBrowsByG account — Giovanna opens up about what really happened, how it broke her down, and how she rose again with a new mission rooted in strategy, spirituality, and soul.

This isn’t business as usual. It’s raw. Honest. Messy. Powerful. And it’s a conversation you won’t want to miss.

 

🔑 Key Takeaways:

• The rise of Brows by G: from a local brow bar to a national beauty powerhouse.
• The reality of cancel culture: what happens when an anonymous account takes aim — and how Giovanna survived it.
• Life beyond the brand: selling her businesses to focus on family, mentoring, and leading transformative retreats.
• Rebuilding with purpose: why her next chapter blends entrepreneurship with healing, growth, and truth.
