How Jennifer Jones Left Corporate And Created Her “Dream Life”

At twenty-nine, Jennifer Jones was on top of the world. She was the managing director of Diesel and spent her days overseeing a $40 million dollar brand account. But one week before her thirtieth birthday, she quit.  Flash forward a decade or two and she's the creative mind behind Bondi cult-favourite ceramics and homewares brand Jones & Co. This week, Jennifer (JJ) sits down with Elfy to lift the lid on her biggest career wins and mistakes as well as why quitting her day job was the best thing she ever did.  This episode of Lady Startup Stories is made in partnership with Airbnb.
