A Sparkling Success Story with Kyla Kirkpatrick

A Sparkling Success Story with Kyla Kirkpatrick

Author: Piccolo Podcasts April 7, 2020 Duration: 36:20
Ever wanted to jump on a plane and completely reinvent your life somewhere else? That’s exactly what our guest for episode 9 of Influence Unlocked did. Kyla Kirkpatrick was on a fast track to a big career in finance when she quit her job and bought a one-way ticket to Paris to study her passion, champagne. Since then she has built a huge following as ‘The Champagne Dame’ and is recognised as one of the world’s leading champagne educators, and to add even more sparkle to an already glittering career, she will make her debut on the next series of The Real Housewives of Melbourne. After over a decade of hosting tastings, masterclasses and tours of the Champagne region of France, in 2017 Kyla launched Emperor Champagne, Australia’s online home of champagne. Emperor raised $1million in its first round of funding, and took nearly $200,000 in its first eight weeks of trade. Kyla is a shining example of what can happen when you follow your curiosity and desire and see where it leads. Tune in to hear about small business ‘near-death experiences’, why Kyla hates The 4-Hour Work Week, being most profitable while pregnant, and the unlikely industry she plans to shake up next.

Influence Unlocked, from Piccolo Podcasts, pulls back the curtain on the real work of building a name that matters. This isn't about quick hacks or surface-level success stories. Instead, each conversation ventures into the nuanced landscape of modern influence, examining the deliberate strategies and personal philosophies that shape Australia's most respected entrepreneurs and leaders. You'll hear the unvarnished details-the pivotal failures, the tough decisions behind the scenes, and the moments of clarity that defined a career. The podcast focuses on the intersection of public relations, personal branding, and authentic leadership, exploring how these elements combine to create a genuine and lasting impact. It’s for anyone curious about the substance behind the public image, offering a candid look at the craft of reputation and the weight of influence. Tune in for thoughtful, in-depth dialogues that move well past the press releases and into the heart of what drives meaningful success in business and beyond.
