To Danielle, you are someone who has redefined modern femininity in fashion. You went from $400 to a globally recognized brand.
Daniel Guzzio. Welcome to the burnouts.
When was a moment where or even do you feel like you made it where you were like, holy, this is actually working?
I mean definitely even from the time when I was in my childhood bedroom when I just saw all the sales come in, I was like, oh my God, this is crazy. Like I finally, yeah, literally, like I've only had, I remember the feeling of having a thousand dollars for the first time and it was the craziest feeling I've ever felt in my life. And I really felt confident and it really makes you realize, okay, I got this and I can do more and I can be better and create better product on top of it. There is another part of me that feels like I haven't made it. And that's really what drives me. I don't know when there will be a day when I feel like I've made it.
And of course the business is doing so well. But I just have a part of me where I see more for the business and I want more for the business and I think that's what really motivates me is being super self critical.
Honestly, same. That's what drives us. I think 100% is this like this need to like prove yourself or to create something. Every time I feel like I see like the word fiat in writing. I'm so excited.
So you started your brand with $400. I want you to walk us through, like how did you know what to do?
I was working retail at a store in Soho and always wanted to start a brand. It was always my dream. Even from when I was little, I just never knew how it was possible. Like, I didn't have any resources. I didn't have any family members that were even in fashion. And at the time, like, when I was younger, we didn't even have Instagram. So kind of growing up and only being able to, like, read about it in books of, like, how people succeeded was really challenging. And essentially, I had a health scare during that time, and I was immediately put into surgery. I had a tumor on my liver.
Oh, my God.
And, yeah, so they had to remove, like, a bunch of stuff. After I got out of that, I was just like, okay. Whoa. That was insane. I found out that I was cancer free. Thank God. The surgery was brutal, and the recovery was brutal. Like, I was in a wheelchair. So after that, I was like, if I can go through that, I can accomplish anything. And I was working for a jeweler at this time. And I was also in community college, just, like, taking some classes, like, some business classes there. And I was just like, I don't want to do this anymore. It was so grueling. I was just like, how am I gonna break free from this?
And how did you save up that first $400?
Was it a tax? Bounce back you got.
Yeah, so it was a tax refund.
Wow.
And I just stashed it away, literally in my underwear drawer. I had no money, so I was like, oh, my God, I'm rich. And, like, stash it away. And I essentially just built up the courage to start my brand. And my best friend Kelly, she's a creative genius. She's amazing. So we were just, like, cooped up, just kind of, like, ideating in her apartment uptown. And every single weekend, we were just, like, ordering food and just, like, creating both of our brands simultaneously. I had no design experience, but I. I knew that I wanted to start my brand starting with graphic tees. That was, like, a very big, like, trend at the. And for me, like, I feel like I'm, like, a copywriter at heart. Like, I can, like, spin off so many, like, ideas for what. What I would want the shirts to say. And we designed the graphics. We designed the entire website. We were shooting. Once we got the samples in, we were shooting the product just, like, on her floor. We were putting it up on the website, and we did absolutely everything ourselves. The photo shoots, videos, and I pretty much started doing cut and sew. I had zero experience. It was like, me and a tape measure. And in my factory at this time I had been researching online on Google to find a factory overseas and I had just like linked up with like a rep there and I just got really close with them and they were understanding that I didn't know what I was doing, but I was like essentially promising them, like, I promise this is going to be great. Like, bear with me.
You literally googled and called them. I love this.
Yeah, literally googled and found a factory.
How long were you working, like your full time job and then also starting your brand on the side?
While doing school?
Yeah, while doing. I guess it was. I guess it was like. Like six months. Yeah. And at the time I didn't have a car either on top. It was just all madness. It was chaos. So, yeah, I guess that was about like, like six months of when I was working there and it came to a point where we had like a pretty decent amount of volume going on.
Like how much?
Well, we were, we were selling out of, of our garments. Like as soon as we would put them up, I was just like to my dad, like, please, please can I leave school? I can't focus on both. It's just getting really challenging for me. And especially that I had to be like, driven to work back and forth. I didn't have my car. Like, if I was just at home, I'd be able to lock in and do what I had to do. It got to the point where. Cause I didn't have a car. I had like a garbage bag of our orders and I would walk on the highway and to the post office, to usps and literally with a trash bag of our orders because I didn't have a car. Wow. Yeah, it was, it was so wild. But I never forgot those times, you know, they're all so important.
Can we talk about the dupes? Because on Black Friday you were getting duped like crazy. And I feel like I always see Guzio dupes all over TikTok Shop. Does it piss you off? Be honest.
You're nice, but does it piss you off? I feel like I've grown so accustomed to it. My, my theory is when you have one great idea, you have so many more ideas. And I always, like, even tell my friends who get really down on themselves about the dupes. It's just going to happen. It's always going to happen. We have to just figure out how to navigate it. But we were getting duped so much on our Pietska, which was one of our top sellers. I only get mad when they start using our E Comm imagery because then I'm like, okay, like, me and my team work so hard for that. Yeah.
Like, I actually planted that entire shoe.
Yeah.
Like, even the model. Like, it's not fair to anyone involved. But I essentially had enough. Like, after the Taylor Swift eras tour, when the entire arena is in paellette skirts and probably a fraction of them Argusio, I was like, I've had enough of this. So with our Micro Mini, it was Amazon Prime Day, and I was laying in bed and I was like, I missed Amazon Prime Day. I was kind of like in my sleep. I was like, what if we took our best seller and we gave it its own day? So I came up with Micro Mini Day and we designated for Black Friday the Micro Mini at a price point where I was just like, okay, if we can't beat them, join them. Let's make the retail price the same price point as all of our dupes and really kind of like, get into the playing field and also be able to offer this product that I believe in so much to a bigger audience who can afford that price point. And we went live with Micro Mini Day for Black Friday, and we made almost $2 million in 48 hours.
Geez.
Wow.
And, like, what was the rationale behind keeping the price point low?
It was working.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I love that it was working. And we were able to, because of all the volume that we were selling from Black Friday, we were able to go back to our factories and renegotiate with them, which was so vital because we were able to get a better margin on the garment because we're buying such higher volume of this item. I think we. We bought like, 300,000 units, like, the day of Black Friday.
300,000. Oh, my God.
Yeah.
And is that what you meant by, like, being financially smart? Of, like, you start with like, a smaller batch and then see if it does well and you buy a larger one.
1000%. Even if we still to this day have the opportunity to only order a minimum order of like 100 units of something, like, maybe it's a new sweater or, like.
Garment that we're testing, I still will only buy 100 units of something if we have the opportunity with our factories just to test it and.
See, that's so smart. Oh, my God. 300,000 is crazy. Did you think that was going to happen?
I had a feeling it was going to do really well. And I was telling my team prior to that because I had thought of this Micro Mini day, like, two months prior to Black Friday and I was telling my team maybe three months prior and I was like, guys, I really think we should buy heavier into the units. Like, I feel like this is going to be huge. Like this is going to blow up. And with the help of my social media team, we made a video that went like extremely viral. Let's make it fun. Let's make it funny. Like, it doesn't have to be so serious all the time.
I love this thorough line of you negotiating deals constantly. It's like, okay, we got these hot graphic tees. Boom. Now I'm arguing with the factory man. I'm like, let's get these prices lower. Micro mini day. You miss Amazon prime day, you're like, boom, let's negotiate a deal with the factory. Like, I love this thorough line of you constantly, like, getting deals done.
Thank you.
I think that's a huge lesson too for our audience. And something I frankly struggled with is like actually being like strong in a negotiation and knowing your value that you're bringing to the table. Like when you're arguing with, you know, a large provider about what the costs are going to be or when we're thinking about, you know, different SaaS products we're going to use for the company, figuring out, negotiating those deals. And so I think that's a huge takeaway for me and I hope for like our audience too, of like, you can negotiate and you can get stuff done.
Yeah.

Insurance may all seem the same on the surface, but having insurance isn't the same as having State Farm. It's like getting a granola bar with a candle in it. When you wanted a three layer birthday cake, you wouldn't settle for just any Dessert on your birthday. So don't settle for just any insurance. When it comes to getting the help you need, State farm is the real deal. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.
If someone was in your position and was starting from scratch or if you were doing it all over again today, like, what do you think are the most important things to focus on?
For me, I was very certain about what I wanted. Like, we pretty much like laid out all of the styles and I went to a local print shop and I negotiated with the guys and I was just like, hey, like, can we please like work out a deal? Like, this is like all I have, etc. I learned negotiating at a really young age. Like, my dad would take me downtown to Chinatown when I was very young, like probably like 13, and he'd be like, okay, go negotiate for yourself, literally at 13. And he would kind of give me tips of like, what to do, what to say, and like, how to kind of get what you want. Like the power of persuasion at a very young age. And that honestly taught me so much and it made me the person I am today. I was literally haggling with like 40 year old men.
I love this.
Yeah, it was so funny. Another thing that was super important, and I always urge my friends, even my friends who have successful brands, is that as soon as our product sold out and I was lucky enough to have a business at the time where it was a really fast turnaround that would probably take like a week for them to get printed. If I like begged and pleaded. He's like on my hands and knees. Yeah, like literally. But I would say that when we would sell out immediately, I would restock because losing that momentum could absolutely kill your business. Not only the momentum in sales, but also the attention span of your consumer. And your consumer is so fresh, they don't know who you are. Like, no one understands your brand yet as much as you do in your head. I think that that helped us grow in a really big way. Just always staying in stock as much as we could.
That's really good advice. And how did you know when you wanted to continue to expand? Expand? Like, you started with the graphic tees. What was like your next step? And also how did you approach marketing? I mean, now it's like the Hadids, the Kardashians, like, everyone is wearing your brand. But how did it first start?
I essentially. Not that I got bored of making graphic tees, but I just felt like there was more. I was at like a stage where I was like, there's more for me. And I want to create a world around Guzio, you know, And I essentially was shopping in the mall at this time. I still had like a little bit of money from starting my brand, but I was really putting everything into the business. I was still shopping at Zara. I was shopping at forever 21 at the time, and nothing fit. There was really a void in the market, and I was just looking, going into stores with a vision in my head. I visualized something that I wanted to wear. Not that I saw something, I would just visualize it and then I would go to the mall and look for it. So to me, I was just like, if I have these ideas and I'm trying to look for something that's not there, let's just make it.
When me and Sophia first raised, we felt like, this kind of undue pressure. And I don't know, I don't want to say it's because we're female founders or because we're young, but we felt like we needed to hire, like, almost like an adult in the room. We needed to bring in someone who we thought would know more than us or could help us with that. And we realized really quickly that those people weren't willing to work past 10:00pm, which, you know, you need to do if you have a startup. I'm curious, did you have any, like, big learnings like that as you're building the business?
Yeah. So when we took on our first investment about like a year and a half ago, I really thought the business was doing really well, completely profitable, zero debt. And I thought, okay, the next step is taking on an investment, hiring people that are older and more experienced, which is true and false. You know, there are a lot of experienced people that have absolutely changed my business that work for me now. But at the time, I hired an entire. I hired an entire team that just wasn't working for what I needed. I don't want to hire an army of people when that's not needed.
So rather than hiring people that were older, I think I was like, really, like, yearning for kind of mentors and like, people that I look up to. Whereas now I really focus on hiring super talented people, even if they are young, you know, people that I truly believe in, that I see myself in. And I learned so much from them. And I'm able to really, like, be myself and kind of like break down those walls. Because I did go through, like, a lot of trauma of hiring. I think I always say, like, that was actually the hardest part about my job and, and dealing with A lot of different personalities in the workplace. You really have to cater to each person differently and be really gentle and also understand yourself more to be the best leader that you can be.
That's such good advice. And I feel like not enough people talk about how hard it is in the beginning, especially as, like, a female founder, to get people to believe in your business. Was there any moments early on where people doubte you or, like, how did you deal with any criticism or pushback?
Yeah, I had family members, like, best friends that were when I first started. They were like, I don't think this is a good idea. And I was just very, like, rambunctious. And at the time, like, I was a little nervous to start my brand, but I almost wasn't fearful. And when someone would give me that criticism, it was just, like, done.
And I think that I just went over your head.
I love that you're like, Sophia in that. Sophia is the exact same way me. Like, I internalize it. Sophia's like, rub that off. Rub it off.
Honestly, what helped the most for me is, like, I'm actively choosing to listen to this and to let it affect me, which means I can also choose to not listen to it and not affect me. Unless there's, like, something you need to learn from or something that's, like, really valid feedback. I want to better understand, like, how did you use social media in the early days and how did it contribute to your success? Success.
I really use social media exactly how we use it now. I always tell my team, I'm like, social media. Like, our Instagram is essentially like a magazine, and we have to have the consumer want to keep flipping through the magazine. Like, we want to keep their attention as long as possible and give them creative content that isn't always the same thing over and over again. It doesn't have to be so specific. You know, it could really be, like, anything. We just have to kind of think outside the box. Something that, like, evokes emotion and inspiration.
What are you really excited for, like, in the next year with the brand?
I'm really excited for opening up new categories. We're launching shoes this week, which we're so excited about. And it's like, it's such a dream of mine because I've created sneakers and shoes for other brands. I guess collaboration. So finally to have something of our own is so freeing and rewarding. And we're launching fragrance.
I smelled it on you today. It smells amazing. So I'm excited about that. And can you walk me through? Because, like, we're babies. I don't understand this at all. Like, okay, so you decide you have a Sumatian brand. You're like, okay, now we're going to expand into shoes. What does that process look like? Are you calling factories? How much are you leaning into influencer marketing versus pure advertising? Like, walk me through kind of that process. And how long does it take for like a brand to open up a new category?
So honestly, it really, we have a formula. If people see the product and it's good product, the product will sell itself. So that's another reason why we don't go nuts right now, in particular on investing in like huge, elaborate photo shoots. Because we're able to create content that's meaningful, that the consumer is also grasping. More people react more to our iPhone content than they do our editorial content that we spend like thousands and thousands of dollars on. So I think that just goes to show, like, you don't have to have this huge production in order for people to be listening and watching. And in return purchasing. Like, for me, I'm just like, oh, yeah, let's like seed it to 40 girls. And sometimes for certain drops, I'm like, let's seed it to like only 10 girls. Sometimes for certain jobs, like, let's not see it at all because the customer is reacting so well. Like, we dropped a tank top and it's a classic tank and we only seeded it to like five girls. But that was after the fact. It had already sold out the next day. The customer loved it. All we did was shoot on iPhone and it sold out immediately. And we ordered I think 30,000 units the next day. Because we're like, okay, that was crazy. And it's a long lasting product.
And I want to better understand, like your influencer seating strategy in the beginning. Like, how did you cold DM and pitch people to get them to wear your product?
I would just straight up DM anyone. And at the time, I feel like people were more in their DMs.
And it typically always worked. Honestly, like, what did you say to people? Always show a visual when you're about to DM someone. Like, make everything as easy as possible for the person on the other end. Because even myself, like, I'll get like a link and I have to fill it out. What's going on too much for me, you know, like, what's gonna hook me? And I still do that today with I'll DM stylists, I'll DM celebrities. We'll go as far as I really want Sabrina Carpenter to Wear something. And I'm like, to my team, like, okay, let's sketch it. Like, let's really give her a visual, what she's going to look like in it.
So when you're reaching out to people, do you. If you really want, like, a certain celebrity, do you do, like, a custom or something like that?
Yeah, usually offer custom, like, depending who it is. But if there's, like, specific styles that I already want them to wear, like, I'll show them exactly what that is, or we'll send them a lookbook fave.
Custom piece you've done.
We just did custom for Sza.
Wow, Huge. Congratulations.
We've done custom for Dua Lipa. We've done a lot of custom and, like, a few tour wardrobes. We have another artist that we did custom board that I'm really excited about. I guess I can't say it, but it's so nice to team up with artists and even their team and kind of ideate and create something for them. It just for me, is really fulfilling.
Walk me through an average day in your life. What time are you waking up? Are you mostly on calls? Are you focusing mainly on marketing or product? What does that look like?
We start work at 10, but I'll probably get there like, 10:30, walk to Dunkin'.
Delago coffee run. As soon as I walk in the door, I'll, like, have my bag on. And we're already. We're already going nuts. Like, it's like, I'm like, oh. Like, it was like, tell me all these, like, crazy ideas. I'm like, let's do it. Like, we're just ideating. Like, the energy in the office, especially with my marketing team and socials team, is so incredible because we're all just feeling off. It's literally like a writer's room. Like improv. No one says, no, that's a bad idea. Like, okay, like, what More about your idea. Like, tell me more about it. Like, how can we kind of build off of that? And then after that, I'll start working with my design team, my designer, which is like my right hand, and our assistant designer. I love them so much. After that, I'll probably have, like, a fitting. There's really not a garment that Guzio puts out that I don't fit myself just because I really want to make sure. And I'm a standard size, small sample size, which. Which helps too. And then typically, I'll work on E Comic. Everything is simultaneous, and that's probably very untraditional, but I really don't Mind it. Like, I feel like I have the stamina and I enjoy what I do so much. And I never want to, like, shoe someone out of the room, especially if someone's like, oh, dear, like, I need to tell you something. I need to talk to you, or I have an idea. I'm always like, no matter what I'm doing, I'll drop, whatever.
How late are you in the office.
Till, like, sometimes until, like, 10pm and then I go home. And if I go home, even at, like, 6, I'm still working at home. So sometimes, like, we're just vibing out. And like.
And how has it been, like, for you? Obviously, you named your brand, like, after yourself. Like, how has it been kind of building your own personal brand alongside the brand? Like, do you ever draw boundaries? Or, like, how do you view that?
I never wanted my brand to be about me, per se. I only started wearing it and promoting it because it was just easiest. Like, if I just throw it on. I try to grow the brand in a way where if I'm no longer the face, like, in years and years to come, you know, obviously I'm going to get older. Our customer will most likely get younger. I never want to be the main focus of the brand, even when I work at the store. Now I work at the store almost every Saturday just to get insight and intel from the consumer, which is so, so incredibly helpful. It's really changed my life having our first retail store. But a lot of the girls in the store have no idea who I am. You know, they'll, like, ask me for sizes, and I enjoy that. People don't recognize me or people don't know who I am. To me, that shows growth and that shows that the business is bigger than me. But I will always have a hand in the brand, no matter what. It'll always be my voice that's so beautiful and.
And that's, like, so smart of you to be, like, if I step away or if I'm not the face, like, this brand needs to continue. But something else that I wanted to touch on is I thought it was so cool that you were so excited about selling, like, 50, 100 units in the beginning. And so now, for people who aren't familiar, like, what does the volume look like? Like, have you been shocked and surprised by how big this has grown?
Our bestseller is our micro minis.
I was gonna say definitely. I have one of those. Definitely that.
Yep. Thank you. Which is so crazy because I released that garment, like, five years ago, maybe. Yeah, four years ago. And it's just now taking off.
Wow.
Yeah. So it's like, when I launched it, I believed in it and I loved it, and I really felt like everyone should have this in their closet, like, genuinely. But it took a long time to get there. And I also feel like if you have product that you believe in, that not necessarily has even become your bestseller yet you still have to keep pushing it. If you have an idea that you know is great, you can still keep kind of watering that and planting it. And I think the Micro Mini is a perfect example of that. Literally four years later now, it's finally taken off. But it's interesting now where TikTok. When something gets a hold of something and it's a great product, it becomes its own animal. So I'm really thankful that that became a whole marketing aspect that we don't have to touch. And almost it becomes its. It's working on its own, and it's working for us.
Is there something like, what do you define as success when you think about the business? Like, is there a certain revenue milestone.
You want to hit?
Like, what does that look like for you when you think about the future of the brand?
I really feel like opening new categories to me is a measure of success, because there are categories I've always dreamed of, like, releasing fragrance, like, releasing shoes. Like, my dream is to. To have her in Guzio from morning until night and also head to toe. And I'm really grateful for financially our growth right now. And I will say on the finance side, we're extremely, extremely strategic. And that's what helps us be able to kind of like, climb these mountains and get to these. These really incredible milestones and for growth.
Like, how did you feel when, like, Bella Hadid or like Kendall Jenner? Like, how did those moments happen when they wore your brand?
Essentially, I had sent a few garments to Kylie and her best friend, and I was just like, right when my brand started, and I was just kind of, like, praying that they would wear it, like, actually. And one day I saw my phone was just blowing up and I saw that they had worn it, that Kylie had worn it, and then she became a huge supporter of the brand, which absolutely changed my business. And I'm sorry. So thankful for that. I'm thankful for her for that. And really, just having the support of stylists and becoming closer with them really helped my business.
One thing that we always hear, you know, is as we get requests for you to come on the show is about, you know, what should our audience be doing on their resumes? If you guys are hiring, what do you look for on resumes that you want to see or so someone can stand out as a candidate?
This is going to throw everyone through a loop. Yes, I'm ready.
So I will look at a resume, like, before someone comes in, before I interview them, just to understand, like, where they worked, and so we can also talk about it if they worked for another fashion company. But I essentially put the resume completely to the side. I don't look at really, like, what school they went to. I kind of put the resume to the side, and I'm just focused on them and who they are, how they communicate with me, eye contact, body language, respect.
And I really base it off of who they are as a person. And I can see them working here because I'm going to be spending every day with them. I spend more time with my employees than I do my family. I'm with them every single day. I remember even Mark Cuban says, anyone you hire should be smarter than you. Anyone you hire should have so much to offer you. And that's the beauty of bringing in an incredible team. They're able to give you what you need. You're able to give them what they need.
What are you most excited about? What does the future of the brand look like?
I'm really excited about the future of Guzio. We're expanding our retail stores. We're opening in Los Angeles and Miami and Dallas, and we plan to open new stores every year, which is really exciting because I had never even imagined that I would have my own retail store. My partner, when we were opening up our New York location, I was like, I'm scared.
And he's like, no, just do it. I promise it will change the brand. It'll change the business. And then we did it. And honestly, even the operation and everything that goes into it is honestly easier than it is for all of the E. Comm. But feels so great being able to even. We have our own fragrance in the stores. We have our. Our playlist. You know, everything. All the furniture is custom. It's. It's made by myself and my friend Brandy. So being able to have them really step into my brain and step into my world has been so cool. Other than the stores, the future of the brand, building out fragrance and cosmetics and skin care is definitely down the line at home. So really just creating this whole universe of Guzio.
I can't wait till you guys do home stuff. That's gonna be incredible.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
And for a young girl who's Listening. Who maybe is working at a jeweler and she hates her job. Like, what is one piece of advice that you would give to her?
I feel like whatever you do, whether you're starting a business, starting a fashion brand, you really have to be so passionate about it because it's a lot of hard work and it's very time consuming. You know, there are so many instances where I'm missing. I missed my dad's birthday the other day, you know, because we had a store event. There's so much sacrifice that you're putting into the business and so much of yourself. You know, as much as the noise that happens around starting a brand, you have to kind of drown it out. And you're your own cheerleader. You're going to be up until you're at the top. Not at the top yet all the way there.
From when you're at the top, you are still your own cheerleader, your biggest supporter and really kind of coming to terms with loving yourself. And you'll always have something inside of you that's telling you what's true. And just like, listen to that.
Danielle, thank you so, so much for coming on the Burnouts. I learned so much from you today, just about the power of self belief and working as hard as you can for what you want. So thank you so much for this conversation.
Thank you guys. Oh, also, I wore blue for you guys today.
Oh yeah.
Oh my God.
I literally.
We should be tapped in.
Sophia, we're behind.

Insurance may all seem the same on the surface, but having insurance isn't the same as having State Farm. It's like getting a granola bar with a candle in it. When you wanted a three layer birthday cake, you wouldn't settle for just any dessert on your birthday. So don't settle for just any insurance. When it comes to getting the help you need, State Farm is the real deal. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.
