EP 89: Eleanor Pendleton | Gritty Pretty's Founder On The Art Of Delegating, The Importance Of Trust And Her Innate Tenacity
Today’s guest is our very own founder and editor-in-chief, Eleanor Pendleton! A beauty veteran with over 10 years of experience, Eleanor is one tenacious woman that had her heart set on magazines from very early on. Her grit and determination saw her land her first internship at Cosmopolitan (under the guise of beauty mogul, Zoe Foster Blake) and soon after the beauty editor role at none other than InStyle Magazine. At the time she was only 21! Fast forward, Eleanor continues to manage an ever-expanding digital team and is an inspiration to many beauty aficionados. In this episode Danielle Gay (beauty director & executive editor) and Rose Garnett (beauty editor) speak about Eleanor’s foray into what she calls accidental entrepreneurship, how she scaled her business thoughtfully and the greatest piece of business advice she’s ever received. It was a pleasure to catch up with our very own El!
