## Resource

What does it take to build a travel brand for the way people actually live, move, pack, and go today? On today’s episode, we welcome Adeela Hussain Johnson, CEO of BÉIS — the travel and lifestyle brand reimagining luggage, bags, and accessories for life on the go. Adeela has helped scale BÉIS into a $250M+ global business by staying focused on thoughtful design, functionality, accessibility, and disciplined growth. As the company has expanded across categories, channels, and markets, she has helped navigate the shift from startup momentum to building a business designed to last. In this episode, we talk about growth, leadership, and the hard decisions that come when a company gets big enough that saying "no" becomes more important than saying "yes." Adeela shares a candid look at what it really takes to scale a modern consumer brand—and why the challenges only get more interesting as the business gets bigger. If you're building a company, leading a team, or navigating growth at any stage, you'll want to hear this conversation. Don't miss this conversation!
