Welcome back to The Final Edit—the podcast for high-level founders rewriting what success, legacy, and leadership actually look like.

In this raw and real episode, Maritza Tobon and Hannah Nieves (aka the masterminds behind Maison) take us behind the velvet rope of how Maison actually came to be and what it’s becoming.

Spoiler: it wasn’t funded by VC bros or powered by flashy webinars. It was built from heartbreak, intuition, and hella intention.

This isn’t about building another community. It’s about changing the damn culture.

Press play if you’re craving something deeper and want to see what a founder-led revolution really looks like.

Welcome back to The Final Edit—the podcast for high-level founders rewriting what success, legacy, and leadership actually look like.

In this bold and heartfelt episode, we sat down with Samreen Arshad—founder, immigrant, and beauty industry disruptor—for a conversation that’s part masterclass, part movement.

From teaching herself makeup on YouTube during postpartum depression to landing on QVC, Costco, and Harper’s Bazaar, Samreen’s story is anything but linear. She’s built a multi-six-figure cosmetics brand from scratch, turned down Shark Tank, and paused it all to build something deeper: a brand rooted in culture, confidence, and community.

We talked rejection, reinvention, and raising capital when nobody in the room looks like you. But more than that? We talked about what it means to belong—and why creating space for your story might just be the most powerful thing you do.

This episode is for the underdogs, the visionaries, and the women building empires the world’s not ready for (yet). 🌍💋
