Ep. 78: Defining “Cool” Ft Recho Omondi
“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
