Customer Reviews
Great Podcast
Founded Beauty is a great podcast that brings founders and entrepreneurs to share their beauty brands’ journey and missions. It’s amazing to see how far these brands have come. I would recommend this podcast to anyone interested in beauty or business!
No audio
I really wanted to listen to the Beekman boys podcast, but there was no audio on the guests side. I tried on multiple devices.
So informative and interesting!
I love this podcast so much. It’s so interesting to listen to the journey of these founders and how they gathered the courage and confidence to dive in to a new venture.
Specifically listening to the episode with Dr. Raj, founder of TULA, was lovely.
I love supporting SA founders to begin with, but to hear her talk about the importance of starting something new while still keeping your day job was a different take than most. Most people quit and give it everything and she did the opposite and held onto her career and also started something new. I appreciate that perspective because it can be scary going head first into something without a fall back so I like that she emphasized the importance of believing in yourself to succeed in a new venture while still making sure you’re protected and secure.
Overall a great episode in a long line of great episodes on this podcast!
