    Is Slowing Down the Secret to Success? with April Gargiulo

    This week on WorkParty, Jaclyn Johnson and Marina Middleton are joined by April Gargiulo, the founder and CEO of Vintner’s Daughter, a cult-favorite skincare brand rooted in craftsmanship, performance, and radical quality. April’s journey is a rare one: from growing up in a Napa Valley winemaking family to formulating one of the most iconic serums in the beauty world. But what sets her apart is how she’s built her business, not by chasing trends, but by staying committed to intentional growth and uncompromising standards. In this episode, April shares how she went from formulating a single product, to creating a luxury skincare line known for its slow, thoughtful process and cult-like customer devotion. She opens up about launching with one hero product, building trust through transparency, and why the “clean” beauty movement is still so misunderstood. From creating a three-to-five-week infusion process, to giving 2% of top-line revenue to charity, April is redefining what it means to build with integrity and why “less but better” is a powerful business strategy in a world that moves too fast.
