    From Highschool Dropout to Beauty Legend, Doubling Down on a Growth Mindset, Overcoming Self-Sabotage & Taking the Road Less Traveled with Jeanine Lobell, Founder of Stila Cosmetics & Neen

    In this week’s episode, we’re re-airing one of our top episodes with Jeanine Lobell, founder of Stila Cosmetics & Neen. After dropping out of high school and trying to forge her own path in the world, serial entrepreneur and world-renowned celebrity makeup artist Jeanine Lobell fell in love with cosmetics. Thanks to her try-anything attitude and strong work ethic, she quickly moved up the ranks to work on famous faces like Nicole Kidman and Natalie Portman for the covers of Vogue and Vanity Fair. When Jeanine founded Stila in 1994, with its professional-grade colors and ultra-wearable formulas in recyclable packaging, it took the makeup world by storm and earned a cult following almost overnight. She saw unprecedented growth in the first five years and had numerous investors scrambling to buy the company, which she ultimately sold to Estee Lauder in 1999. Now, she is disrupting the beauty industry all over again with her direct-to-consumer brand, Neen, the first-ever subscription-based card that offers new ways to play with makeup and experience tutorials. In this episode, Jeanine speaks to us about how she discovered her purpose as a high-school dropout and someone who was regularly fired from jobs early in her career. We discuss how Jeanine finally realized her worth, what her superpowers were as a first-time founder when she launched Stila, and the advice she has for women who are looking to make a similar leap in their careers. We also take a look at the importance of having an abundance mindset, owning who you authentically are, finding your own voice, and so much more!  In this episode, we’ll talk to Jeanine about: * Breaking free from the “prisons” of others’ opinions. [03:24] * Why Jeanine went to mime school in Paris. [07:47] * Lessons in entrepreneurship from a hot dog stand. [11:39] * Why none of the stops on your journey are a mistake. [13:20] * Rising through the beauty industry ranks. [15:31] * Self-compassion as a first-time founder. [17:14] * The origin story of Stila. [22:12] * Thoughts on competition, comparison, and abundance. [27:01] * Being a first-time mom and a first-time founder. [30:02] * Why we're all works in progress. [39:37] * Selling her first company to Estee Lauder. [41:02] * Overcoming hardship as a serial entrepreneur. [44:19] * Neen’s subscription cards. [48:06] * Success expectations versus reality.

    Tapping into Your Intuition to Scale Your Business with April Gargiulo, Founder of Vintner's Daughter

    In this week’s episode, we’re re-airing one of our top episodes with April Gargiulo, the Founder and CEO of Vintner's Daughter, a cult favorite nutrient-powered skincare brand.  Vintner’s Daughter was founded on the principles of unparalleled quality and efficacy, inspired by April’s background in the world of fine winemaking and its uncompromising standards. Admittedly, she knew very little about the skincare industry when she first founded the brand in 2013, but one thing she knew well was how to extract the finest ingredients from plants. After suffering from cystic acne and hyperpigmentation her whole life, April discovered the products she was using were actually made from cheap synthetics, and it was then that she decided to create her own all-natural, multi-beneficial skincare. She launched the Vitner’s Daughter brand with just one product: the Active Botanical Serum, which famously attracted the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow, Naomi Watts, Hailey Bieber, and others who swear by its skin-clearing benefits. In our conversation, April offers some insight into the process of starting her business from her living room with absolutely no knowledge of the beauty industry and she explains how throwing out the rulebook allowed her to stand out in a highly saturated market. We also discuss how she grew into a multimillion-dollar business with only one product and zero investors, the power of meditation and staying true to yourself, and so much more!  In this episode, we'll talk to April about: * Why April calls herself risk-averse and how she overcame it. [03:18] * How two entrepreneurial parents shaped April. [04:50] * Life before Vintner's Daughter: from design to winemaking. [05:56] * The story of the sabbatical April took, the apothecary she visited, and how it inspired her first product, the Active Botanical Serum. [12:37] * Other ideas April explored before launching Vintner's Daughter. [15:23] * The early days of product development and launch. [16:58] * Moments of doubt and the motivation to keep going. [19:58] * Growing brand awareness with minimal marketing funds. [23:33] * Scaling, running a business from her living room, working mom hours, and more! [25:20] * Committing to a single SKU over trends. [27:13] * Staying vision-aligned and impact-focused. [29:54] * Her approach to funding and building without investors. [32:02] * The value of a supportive advisory community. [35:50] * The transformative power of meditation and authenticity.
