Lessons from the “Book of Failures‪”‬ Business of the Beat Podcast

On this episode of @businessofthebeat Kendra talks to Angel Cornelius, Founder & CEO of Maison 276, about her collection designed to inspire women to celebrate their own version of beauty.  Since her childhood, Angel has been a product DIYer. Later, friends and family asked to buy her product overflow leading her to her first platform on Etsy. The combination of her passion for experimentation coupled with her work ethic and business-savvy outlook led to the expansion of Maison 276– her naturally luxurious skincare and haircare product line especially famous for its efficiency in brightening silver and blonde hair without the use of harsh purple dyes.

Angel tells the story of a call from Essence that pushed her into a career pivot, the journey to winning QVC’s The Big Find, and continuing to be an expansive best-selling brand as the next defining chapter of her life. Tune in to hear about Angel’s childhood in New Orleans, her beauty-preneur title, tips for marketing to a wider market, her ‘Book of Failures’, and the glows and grows of building a brand while working full-time.
