Reinvention and reincarnation with Rescu founder and editor Bahar Etminan #103
“Once you’ve been through the worst thing that could happen to you and you don’t die, it gives you an enormous amount of self-respect and confidence.” Today my guest is yet another fellow Australian, Bahar Etminan, who is founder and editor of Rescu, a digital magazine for women featuring curated content and advice on how to live a life more fabulous. The online collection of daily articles on style, substance and success, have been written and curated by experts in a variety of sectors from technology, personal finance and property to fashion, beauty and mindfulness. Bahar was a relatively early adopter of digital publishing technology in Australia and had to work incredibly hard to prove Rescu’s place alongside Australia’s once thriving print-dominated magazine market. Since then her business has had to continue to adapt to meet the ever-changing landscape as marketeers have shifted their advertising budgets from print to digital to social media and back again. Bahra talks about all the highs and lows of being a businesswoman, including how she lost everything in the Global Financial Crisis, and how she has managed to pivot her business post-pandemic by launching Rescu.Me Academy online courses. “The Global Financial Crisis was the most traumatic experience of my life,” she says. “The trauma of that business stress stayed with me a good 5/10 years…but it gave me new strategies for how to read the signs earlier.”We also talk about: The effects of the pandemic on the publishing industryThe journey of agelessness and non-invasive aestheticsWhat treatments you should be having perimenopausal How online learning has become a trend of the pandemic that is here to stayBahar’s top book recommendation – Lifespan by Dr David Sinclair Read Bahar and her team’s excellent range of lifestyle content for women at rescu.com.au and watch their videos on YouTube.
