It’s the end of Season 1 of Skale Up (we can’t believe it either). In this special finale, your hosts, Sydney-based luxury business experts Julie Kim and Sophie Seymaux, put each other in the hot seat with a series of surprise questions about luxury, entrepreneurship, and what it takes to grow a business in Australia.

Expect candid reflections, a few confessions, and some unexpected answers as we cover:

* Misconceptions about the Australian luxury market

* Balancing exclusivity with accessibility in brand strategy

* Which international luxury brands get it right in Australia

* Redefining success and navigating self-doubt as entrepreneurs

* Balancing motherhood, ambition, and the juggle of modern life

* The power of partnership and what we’re most proud of this season

* Our biggest sources of inspiration (and industry “girl crushes”)

This episode is all about honesty, growth, and celebrating the journey so far. It’s been a season of insights, vulnerability, and building community in the luxury business space—and this finale brings it all together.

We’re taking a short 8-week break, but we’ll be back for Season 2 with even more stories, guests, and fresh perspectives on scaling in the luxury industry.

We can’t wait to show you what we have in store for the next season. In the meantime, connect with us to stay in the know!
