He worked 92-hour weeks in construction to fund his dream.

DM’d 1,000 strangers and raised €60k in 7 days.

Launched a beauty app with no tech background.

Lost it all. Rebuilt. And now?

He's raised again and GlamUare is live, funded, and shipping features every 2 weeks.

Sean MacAdams is not your typical tech founder and GlamUare is not your typical beauty platform.

In this episode, we go deep on Sean’s wild journey: from almost dropping out of high school to pitching investors in Saudi Arabia, managing a 30,000+ women’s community in Bondi, and building a beauty-tech platform that’s making real impact.

He didn’t come from money.

He didn’t have a cofounder.

He didn’t even code.

But what he did have was a relentless work ethic, a community-first vision, and the nerve to keep showing up.

What You’ll Learn:

• How Sean raised €60k in a week by DMing strangers with no pitch deck
• What happened when his first launch fell apart 24 hours before go-live
• The painful lessons from giving away equity too early and how he bought it back
• How he worked 92-hour weeks in construction to keep the dream alive
• Why he turned down Saudi investment (and what misaligned money almost cost him)
• What makes GlamUare different from every other booking app in beauty
• How he’s scaling now: fresh funding, bi-weekly feature drops, and go-to-market underway
• The community monetisation playbook behind Bondi Beach Babes, no ads, 30K+ members

This Episode Is For:

• Founders building from scratch with no fancy background
• Non-technical tech founders who’ve hit brick walls with dev teams
• Creators and coaches trying to monetise community the right way
• Anyone who's ready to hear what building really takes
