About this episode
Ashley Graham discusses her new Lambrusco brand Lucci and her journey in entrepreneurship.
Today’s guest is Ashley Graham, the model, entrepreneur, advocate, and co-founder of Lucci, a Lambrusco brand inspired by her love of food, wine, and Italy. A trailblazer in fashion and a champion of body confidence and inclusion, Ashley is now bringing that same energy to the wine world. Ashley and host Kerry Diamond discuss the origin story of Lucci, from a dinner in Los Angeles to a DM to an Italian winemaker in Emilia-Romagna. Ashley shares what it’s been like building her first brand from the ground up, navigating distribution, raising money, and convincing people that Lambrusco deserves a comeback. They also talk about entrepreneurship, motherhood, Italian food, Broadway, body confidence, and why Ashley believes people aren’t necessarily drinking less—they’re drinking smarter.
