On this episode of the Dream Teams podcast, we welcome Julia Cove-Smith, founder of Eleven as One - a brand dedicated to empowering female players and teams on and off the pitch.
Julia was first introduced to us by the wonderful Kelly Newton of NIXI Body, and we've been excited to have her on ever since!
Julia has extensive hands-on experience in sport and has also led some pretty major UK retail brands, including being the CEO of Emma Bridgewater (yes, THAT Emma Bridgewater.
We chat about Julia's incredible Dream Team, including Alex Scott, marathon pioneer Kathrine Switzer, and Lionesses manager Sarina Wiegman.
Plus, we dive into the journey of launching Eleven as One, from trying (and failing) to find proper football shorts for women, to opening in Style of Our Own on Regent Street.
This episode is packed with inspiration, insight, and a reminder to always just send the DM!
