The 10 Minute Personal Brand Kickstart (FREE): https://the505podcast.courses/personalbrandkickstart


What’s up, Rock Nation! Today we’re joined by Heidi Somers - YouTuber, entrepreneur, and founder of Buffbunny Collection. Over the past nine years, she’s scaled her creator-led activewear brand into a movement that women around the world connect with.


Heidi breaks down how storytelling became her unfair advantage - from early campaign videos that made women cry, to collections inspired by childhood nostalgia, to the inclusive sizing approach that fixed a broken industry standard. She shares why “pretty girl, pretty outfit” isn’t enough, and how Buffbunny built community by making every woman feel seen.


We also dive into the blueprint any brand can use in 2025: Nail your storytelling, lean into influencer marketing, and create innovative products people can’t buy on Amazon. If you want to learn how to turn a vision into an empire, this episode is packed with lessons from one of the most successful women in fitness and fashion.
