Episode 66: From Corporate to Celebrity Management With Alice Hampton
On this episode of The Bets Life Podcast, I’m joined by CEO and founder of ACP Management, Alice Hampton. From running global communications strategies for major beauty brands to walking away to start her own business, Alice opens up about the burnout, IVF struggles, and life pivots that led her (fortuitously) to founding a thriving talent management company. With a powerful roster including Kat Stickler, Madison Humphrey, and Anine Bing, Alice supports “her girls” with a dash of loving “momager” energy.
We dive into the reality behind managing top creators, why mental health always comes first, and how Alice has built a business rooted in trust, boundaries, and long-term vision. This conversation is honest, empowering, and a reminder that sometimes when you stop trying to control the journey, life is able to unfold exactly as it should.
In this episode:
• Alice’s global career in beauty and what burnout really looked like
• Infertility, pregnancy loss, and navigating deep personal heartbreak
• Amicable divorce and staying friends with your ex-husband
• Building a boutique agency centered on relationships instead of transactions
• Understanding the importance of taking a step back and taking breaks
• The truth behind influencer careers and constant online pressure
• Why “overnight success” is a myth and what actually builds longevity
• Setting boundaries, protecting your energy, and choosing peace
• How gratitude, perspective, and philanthropy shape her life
