Today we’d like to introduce you to Cole Giovanni.
Hi Cole, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
Thank you, The Pink Collar Club started in Texas, and Houston was the second city we stepped into — and very early on, it became clear that it would play a significant role in our story.
After launching our first Pink Hour in Dallas, Houston was a natural next step. From the beginning, the response there was strong — the energy, the engagement, and the way women showed up for one another stood out immediately. It wasn’t just attendance, it was participation. Women came ready to connect, collaborate, and be part of something intentional.
That first Houston event set the tone, and when we returned for a second Pink Hour, it expanded in every way. We saw our largest group of partners come together in Houston, with an incredible level of support from beauty, wellness, and lifestyle brands who contributed to the overall experience. It became one of our most layered evenings — from the table details to the curated gifting moments — all reflecting the kind of community that’s forming there.
What’s been most meaningful is that Houston didn’t just respond to the concept — it helped elevate it. The city brought a level of warmth, style, and presence that naturally aligned with what The Pink Collar Club represents.
While we’re continuing to grow nationally, Texas remains our foundation. Both Dallas and Houston are core to the brand, and we’re intentional about continuing to build in both cities — not just as tour stops, but as communities we return to and invest in.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It hasn’t always been a completely smooth road, especially in the early stages of bringing the concept to life. One of the initial challenges was securing partnerships with five-star hotels and luxury venues. When you’re introducing something new, there’s naturally a level of hesitation — especially at that standard.
A big part of the process was being able to clearly communicate the vision, the audience, and the experience we were creating, while also proving that the concept could be executed at a level that aligns with those spaces.
As we’ve continued to grow and refine the experience, that’s shifted. Being welcomed into places like The Post Oak in Houston and Bloom & Bee has been a reflection of that progress. It shows that the concept resonates not just with the women in the room, but also with the venues and partners we collaborate with.
Like anything, it’s been a process of building trust, refining the details, and allowing the work to speak for itself over time.
As you know, we’re big fans of The Pink Collar Club. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
The Pink Collar Club is a multi-city women’s community and experiential platform currently on a nationwide tour, but at its core, it’s deeply rooted in Texas. Dallas is where we began, and Houston quickly became one of our strongest and most aligned cities.
What we do is create curated, in-person experiences — most notably our Pink Hour — where women across industries come together in elevated, intentional environments. In Texas, that looks like bringing together women in business, beauty, hospitality, media, and creative spaces who value connection, presence, and being in rooms that actually lead to opportunity.
What sets us apart is our approach to curation. We’re not focused on scale for the sake of it — we’re focused on who’s in the room, how the experience feels, and what continues after the event ends. In cities like Houston, that’s been especially important. The level of engagement, the partnerships, and the way women show up for each other has allowed the experience to grow in a very organic and meaningful way.
While we’re continuing to expand nationally, Texas remains a priority. We’re intentional about building in both Dallas and Houston — not just hosting events, but cultivating real communities that we return to and invest in over time.
Brand-wise, what I’m most proud of is that The Pink Collar Club has become recognizable not just as an event, but as a standard — a certain type of room, a certain type of woman, and a certain way of connecting.
For the Houston audience specifically, I want people to know that this is a space designed with them in mind — and that we’re committed to continuing to grow here in a way that reflects the energy and culture of the city.
What does success mean to you?
For me, success is defined by alignment — the right people, the right timing, and the right environments coming together in a way that feels natural, not forced.
In Texas, especially between Dallas and Houston, I’ve seen that play out in a very real way. The women who show up, the partners who reach out, and the overall response to The Pink Collar Club has been incredibly organic. Nothing about it has felt overly manufactured — it’s been built through genuine interest, shared values, and a clear sense of connection.
Success, to me, is when something resonates without having to be over-explained. It’s seeing a room come together effortlessly, watching relationships form, and knowing that what’s being created will continue beyond that moment.
More than anything, it’s the authenticity of the community. When people choose to be part of something, contribute to it, and bring others into it — that’s when you know it’s working.
