On today’s episode, I’m joined by Susan Yara, beauty entrepreneur and founder of Naturium and Playa, to discuss building standout beauty brands, creating products that truly work, and finding success by focusing on the business—not the exit. We dive into how Susan built Naturium from the ground up, the importance of product quality and innovation, what it takes to create a brand people genuinely want, and why the market doesn’t necessarily need more brands—it needs better ones. Plus, she shares what inspired her to launch Playa, how she approaches product development and retail partnerships, the lessons she learned from building Naturium, and what it’s like to start again with a new brand. We also talk about personal branding, embracing every side of yourself, balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, building wealth, and why women don’t have to choose between being fun, feminine, intelligent, and successful. Whether you’re interested in beauty, entrepreneurship, personal branding, or what it really takes to build a lasting company, this episode is packed with fascinating insights and practical advice.
