    Finding Your Product Audience ft. Ann Ragan Kearns of Medalist Skin | EYB

    Hours and hours in the pool did a number on Ann Ragan Kearns’ hair and skin. As an NCAA Division 1 swimmer, she struggled with acne and hair loss, and while she could purchase beauty products for her issues, she never encountered a brand that designed products specifically for her as a female athlete. Fast forward and Kearns has learned a ton about the beauty market as founder of Odyssey Public Relations, a firm that’s worked with beauty companies including that the gap in it she encountered over a decade ago for a beauty brand aimed at female athletes hadn’t closed. And it became pressing to her to fill it with female athletes rising in prominence and inspiring girls around the world.

    Brandie Miller brings a wealth of food industry experience, blending expertise in startups, retail buying, and e-commerce with a passion for food accessibility. She began her career launching a small ice cream brand, driving it from food service into retail through strategic sales and marketing. She then transitioned to the buying side as a category manager for Grocery Outlet, a 400-store chain, where she championed Natural & Organic (NOSH) products, growing it into the company’s largest category. Her efforts contributed to Grocery Outlet’s 2019 IPO. Her dedication to making healthy, high-quality food more accessible deepened at Misfits Market, where she served as Senior Director of Grocery. There, she and her team expanded affordable grocery options nationwide, launched an upcycled food initiative, and introduced thousands of new SKUs in just three years—all while scaling operations across four warehouses. Brandie’s impact has been widely recognized, earning her industry accolades such as: • Supermarket News’ 2016 Disruptor • Progressive Grocer’s 2019 Top Women in Grocery – Rising Star • Natural Foods Merchandiser’s May/June 2019 Cover Feature • NEXTY Judge at Expo East 2022 In 2024, Brandie and Will Miller combined their vastly different experiences to create something completely new—Mochi Love.
