Ep. 183: For this Girl Chat, we’re joined by Hannah Chody—content creator, entrepreneur, and all-around style expert.

Hannah breaks down the secretive process of buying a Birkin, gives us an inside look at her Lake Como wedding—including what she’d do differently—and shares how she made the leap from Wall Street to entrepreneurship. Plus, we get into her family’s legacy with Garrett Popcorn and how she revived an Austin cult-favorite nut milk brand.
