Podcast appearances and mentions of amy liu

Amy Liu's journey to redefining clean beauty started in her own skin. As someone with eczema, she knew firsthand the struggle of finding beauty products that were both safe and effective. The industry was full of promises, but few products delivered results without irritation. After years of working behind the scenes at Smashbox, Kate Somerville, and Josie Maran Cosmetics, Amy found herself at a crossroads. She had built brands for others, but what about a brand built for people like her? People who wanted beauty without compromise? At 40, she took the leap and launched Tower 28, the first and only beauty brand 100% compliant with the National Eczema Association's ingredient guidelines. In this episode, Nancy and Amy unpack the highs and lows of entrepreneurship—overcoming the fear of failure, scaling a business while staying true to her mission, and bringing her husband on board as CFO. Recognized as Ernst & Young's Entrepreneur of the Year for Greater Los Angeles and one of Goldman Sachs' most exceptional entrepreneurs, Amy has proven that success doesn't have to come at the cost of integrity. This is a conversation about resilience, leadership, and the power of collaboration over competition. Above all, it's a story about turning a personal struggle into a movement that's changing the face of beauty.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[04:26] Struggling with eczema and the need for safe beauty products[05:52] Discovering the flaws in clean beauty[07:38] Why it took her so long to start her own business[08:54] Getting her first investment and launching Tower 28[10:42] Why launching at 40 was the right decision[11:58] The myth of overnight success and why experience matters[13:21] The role of a CEO and why she chose to stay in the position[14:47] Challenges of balancing leadership with business growth[16:32] Bringing her husband in as CFO and working with a spouse[18:15] Breaking through the crowded beauty market[19:44] The philosophy behind Tower 28's product development[21:18] Why sensitive skin testing sets Tower 28 apart[22:53] Expanding at Sephora and becoming a top-performing brand[24:36] When to raise money and how to choose the right investors[26:24] Private equity, beauty playbooks, and scaling successfully[28:10] The challenges of hiring and building the right team[30:28] Leadership lessons and learning from mistakes[32:42] Creating Clean Beauty Summer School and supporting founders[34:20] The importance of representation in the beauty industry[36:08] Why collaboration is more powerful than competition[38:35] Advice for struggling entrepreneurs in a competitive marketResources Mentioned:Tower 28 | WebsiteNational Eczema Association | WebsiteSephora Clean | WebsiteGoop Clean | WebsiteCredo Clean | WebsiteClean Beauty Summer School | WebsiteFollow Nancy Twine:Instagram: @nancytwinewww.nancytwine.comFollow Makers Mindset:Instagram: @makersmindsetspaceTikTok: @themakersmindset

In recent years, tensions around race and culture in the U.S. have intensified, revealing deep divides that often manifest through state preemption of local laws and regulations. The relationship between different levels of government is a hallmark of America's unique approach to governance. When functioning effectively, it can surpass the more centralized systems seen in Europe and elsewhere. However, the growing trend of states overriding local rules—particularly in ways that amplify political divides—remains a critically underexplored aspect of our national discourse on race and culture. Our guest today, Amy Liu of the Brookings Institution, is deeply familiar with these dynamics. She joins us to delve into the theory behind state preemption, providing concrete examples from recent history that highlight its detrimental effects on the economic vitality and social cohesion of our diverse nation. Liu also offers thoughtful strategies for addressing and mitigating the impact of state preemption, emphasizing the significant costs we bear as a society when these power struggles go unchecked. There are two reports we mention in this episode. They are: Remaking Economic Development, and Why State and Local Relationships Matter. This episode was edited by Adam Linder of Bespoken Podcasting.

Her story is a testament to resilience and the power of community in shaping successful ventures.SamreensVanity is a luxury cosmetic line dedicated to elevating South Asian representation within the beauty industry. Samreen identified a glaring white space: despite 2.1 billion South Asians worldwide, there wasn't a single cosmetic line aimed specifically at their inclusion. She saw this as an opportunity to create something transformative."Our brand is made for the community, and it's founded by the community," Samreen said. This philosophy guided her decision to launch a Wefunder campaign, choosing community-backed investment over traditional venture capital. She wanted her investors to feel a personal connection to the brand, ensuring that their contributions would lead to meaningful impact.Samreen's journey to founding SamreensVanity is as unique as it is inspiring. Despite facing postpartum depression and not having a background in makeup, she taught herself the craft at the age of 30. Her resilience shone through when she applied seven times for a job at a high-end retailer without success. This rejection fueled her determination to create a brand that represents minority women and immigrants like herself.With only nine SKUs, SamreensVanity has already made significant strides. Their innovative dual-ended lipsticks caught the attention of major retailers like QVC and Costco. Now, as part of the Tower 28 Incubator Program, Samreen is gearing up to pitch to top retailers and expand her brand's reach.Looking ahead, Samreen envisions SamreensVanity becoming an international brand, serving markets in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia, where there is a growing demand for products that reflect their cultural values and needs.I am continually inspired by entrepreneurs like Samreen, who not only identify opportunities but also create solutions that empower and uplift their communities. SamreensVanity is not just a beauty brand; it's a movement towards greater inclusivity in the industry.In our conversation, Samreen's passion and dedication were palpable. Her vision for the future of SamreensVanity is bright, and I have no doubt that she will continue to break barriers and set new standards in the beauty industry.tl;dr:1. Introduction and Business Overview: Samreen Arshad, the CEO and founder of SamreensVanity, discusses the inception of her luxury cosmetics line aimed at elevating South Asian representation in the beauty industry. She recognized a market gap and launched her brand during the pandemic with initial products like eyeliners and dual-ended lipsticks.2. Product Line and Strategy: Samreen explains that her brand currently offers nine SKUs, including innovative products like dual-ended lipsticks. Starting with eyeliners to test market needs, her strategy has been to grow slowly and steadily rather than flooding the market with products. This approach has led to partnerships with QVC and potential opportunities with Costco and Shark Tank.3. Incubator Program: Samreen is participating in the Tower 28 incubator program, which is a ten-week initiative founded by Amy Liu. The program includes classes led by industry leaders, and it concludes with the opportunity to pitch to major retailers like Sephora and Ulta.4. Vision and Growth Plans: Samreen envisions international expansion for SamreensVanity, citing interest from regions like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia. She emphasizes that her brand, which has a strong customer base and minimal returns, is poised for significant growth once it ramps up marketing efforts.5. Wefunder Campaign and Investor Relations: To support the community-driven ethos of her brand, Samreen opted for a crowdfunding campaign on Wefunder where individuals can invest. She highlights the backing of Backstage Capital, founded by Arlan Hamilton, and encourages potential investors to participate, emphasizing the collective potential for significant returns.How to Develop Connecting with People As a SuperpowerSamreen's superpower is her exceptional ability to connect with people. This natural talent allows her to build genuine relationships, fostering trust and collaboration that drive her success as an entrepreneur and influencer.Samreen exemplified her superpower when she connected with Arlan Hamilton, the founder of Backstage Capital. Without any immediate intention to seek investment, Samreen genuinely engaged with Arlan, showing interest in her work and attending her events. This authentic connection led to Arlan eventually offering to back Samreen's fundraising efforts, illustrating the profound impact of building sincere relationships.Actionable Tips for Developing this Superpower:* Be Genuinely Interested in Others: Focus on learning about people rather than trying to impress them. Show genuine curiosity about their stories and experiences.* Be Open and Vulnerable: Don't be afraid to share your own strengths and weaknesses. Openness and honesty foster deeper connections.* Voice Your Admiration: When you're impressed by someone, let them know. Acknowledging others' achievements builds rapport.* Start Building Relationships Early: Don't wait until you need something to start connecting. Build relationships well in advance of when you might need support.By following Samreen Arshad's example and advice, you can make connecting with people a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

In Ep. 96 of Earned, Conor sits down with Amy Liu, founder and CEO of fast-growing clean beauty brand Tower 28. We dive into Tower 28's success both online and off, and Amy shares the past investments she's made that are now paying off. We hear why she believes you have to earn your reputation, and how investing in people and products have fueled much of the beauty brand's success. Next, we take a step back and learn why Amy was grateful to get laid off from Accenture in her early 20s, because it forced her to evaluate what she wanted to do. Her path led her to USC business school, and then into the beauty industry. After running marketing teams at Smashbox, Kate Somerville, and Josie Maran (where she grew sales 5x in three years), we learn why Amy decided to take time away from her career to focus on family, before going all in on her own brand, Tower 28 Beauty. Amy reveals why she's happy she waited to found her brand, before explaining why she created the Clean Beauty Summer School, a professional development program designed to accelerate small, BIPOC-owned clean beauty businesses. As we wrap up the show, we discuss Tower 28's thoughtful, personalized approach to building relationships with relevant creators, and Amy gives her take on where the influencer marketing landscape is headed next.

We have a gift for all our besties who aren't based in LA and missed our recent Female Founder World Networking Pop-Up in partnership with Shopify LA: a live recording from the panel! Make sure you're on our email list to get notified about the next event in your city: www.femalefounderworld.beehiiv.com Panelists: Amy Liu, the founder of Tower28, a clean, vegan, cruelty-free cosmetics known for beautiful products that are really safe for sensitive skin and stocked in Sephora and Credo Natalie Holloway, the founder of Bala. Natalie basically reinvented the retro ‘80s ankle and wrist weight into something modern and chic and has built an entire fitness brand around that concept. Julissa Prado, the founder of Rizos Curls, a haircare brand celebrating the beauty of curls, coils and waves stocked in Target and Ulta. Moderator: Creator of Female Founder World, Jasmine Garnsworthy. 

Today we're learning from Amy Liu of Tower 28. We're covering how to make your pitch count when it comes to getting stocked into retailers like Sephora + how to be a best seller at Sephora, and how she stands out in a saturated market.   Tower 28 is an Insta-favorite clean beauty brand designed for sensitive skin and made for all. Created with a hint of nostalgia (hello Juicy Tubes!), Tower 28's products are bold, playful, and accessible (with all price points under $28!). With the message that #ItsOkayToBeSensitive, Tower 28 is the first and only beauty brand to follow the National Eczema Association's Ingredient Guidelines. That means 0% irritating ingredients and 100% safe for sensitive skin. It's also clean, vegan, rigorously dermatologist-tested, and made in the USA. We can all learn a lot from Amy's out-the-box approach to pitching. Without giving too much away, she dives into why you need to make buyers feel the brand. Really animate it. Really stand out in a way. It's like any relationship, the first thing you want is for them to say yes. But you don't just want them to say yes. You want them to be SO excited to be doing this. The whole thing is: you want them to be your advocate internally, so that when it does come to launching they're your cheerleader. And all the details on just how to do that are packed inside the episode. So, let's get straight into it!

Amy Liu is the founder and CEO of Tower 28, a beauty company inclusive of all skin tones, skin types, budgets, and beauty philosophies. For over 15 years, Amy Liu worked as a beauty executive at some of the fastest-growing prestige companies, including Smashbox, Kate Somerville and Josie Maran Cosmetics. But as a longtime eczema sufferer, she couldn't even enjoy the best part of working in the beauty industry: trying out all the products! Even the clean alternatives were super expensive or too clinical, like they were coming straight from the doctor's office. Amy saw this white space as an opportunity, and set out to create Tower 28. Tower 28 is the first beauty brand that's 100 percent clean, vegan, and free of every known skin irritant. We talk to Amy about how she thought about the risk she was talking in starting her career with a successful corporate career under her belt, three kids and a mortgage. Amy also shares her perspective on why there's never a “right time” to get started, why we should never fall into the trap of comparison, the power of fostering real relationships in life and in business, and so much more.In this episode, we'll talk to Amy about:* Where Amy's aversion to risk originated. [3:11]* Why Amy chose to become an entrepreneur in the beauty space. [7:44]* An overview of Amy's career prior to founding Tower 28. [8:35]* The danger of comparing ourselves to others. [9:53]* How working for other companies before starting her own has benefitted Amy. [15:53]* Amy explains what motivated her decision to quit her full-time job and shares advice for other mothers who may have the same worries about this move as she did. [18:18]* The conversation that changed the course of Amy's life. [22:35]* Value that lies in talking openly about what you want to achieve. [25:21]* The importance of reputation. [28:47]* How Amy's approach to founding Tower 28 was different from the three businesses she founded before it. [29:46]* What differentiates Tower 28 from other brands. [32:41]* Amy's thoughts on overcoming fears around entering a saturated market. [33:47]* The ultimate goal that Amy had when she founded Tower 28. [37:14]* How Amy incorporates her values into her brand. [38:21]* A story which highlights the value of being open minded. [40:04]* Amy explains the approach that she took to growing Tower 28. [46:25]* How her experience of building Tower 28 has changed the way Amy looks at life. [49:48]* Delving into the (very) challenging side of building a business, and the things that make it worth it.

Welcome to the Busi-ness Podcast!In this week's episode, I speak with Amy Liu, founder and CEO of clean beauty brand, Tower 28 Beauty. Whilst growing up, Amy had suffered with severe eczema and struggled to find products that worked for her. After several years working in the beauty industry, Amy set out to create products that worked for her and launched Tower 28 Beauty.We spoke about entering a highly saturated marketplace and the issues surrounding regulations in the beauty industry. We discussed building a brand around inclusivity and whether her founder journey had been influenced by stereotypes and the glorification of entrepreneurship. Amy also spoke candidly about creating a product for everyone and the fear of becoming a fad. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey and welcome back to the show! It's Doone here, your host and hype girl.Thanks for tuning in to the solo episode for this week, where we'll be taking a deep dive into the beauty space, going over the biggest learnings our multi-millionaire beauty-founder-guests have gained from founding and building the brands absolutely killing it in their space right now. So Let's get straight into it. Learning number 1 stems from the dreaming phase. When you're n the very early days of imagining your beauty brand - and you're dreaming about the vision you have. And you're asking yourself what am I actually actually going to create? The luxury of being in this position is that nothing exists yet, because you haven't made it. You can literally create ANYTHING. So why not create your product in a way that will make your life a little easier down the road? When we look at successful beauty brands today, there are a couple of things that founders seem to have gotten right straight off the bat. My first learning is that you should create something valuable, you should create something beautiful and (nowadays) you should create something memorable or memeable. My second learning is that you absolutely want to be making that pre-launch effort, and you absolutely want to kick off with a bang. Start as you mean to go on. The truth of the matter is, beauty is SUCH a saturated space, and you need to give someone a reason to pay attention.The third learning, is to really think outside the box when it comes around to pitching your product to retail. Buyers in the beauty world are getting hit by constant blasts. There's so much out there, there's so much being created. Give yourself a chance by really making an impression. Ok. but I can hear you asking already. How to go about that? Amy Liu's story for getting Tower28 stocked in Sephora is a real cracker, and we'll talk through that in the episode.Lesson number four is all around not getting complacent when you do land your dream retailer. Don't get me wrong, it's definitely a win worth celebrating. Give yourself a huge pat on the back, and celebrate with your team. But it's by no means the finishing line. Getting in is the easy part, what's hard is getting the sale through.Which bring us to another area you can absolutely not get complacent in as a founder. It might not have always been the case, but today I can confidently say you would struggle to do well with your business if you're not leveraging this platform. If you listen to this show you know what I'm about to tell you. TikTok, obviously! In beauty, you're in such a fab position to do well on TikTok. So, that brings me to learning number 6, and one that lies particularly close to my heart. As a woman, if you're planning to be an entrepreneur, a pitfall i've encountered time and time again is this idea of perfectionism. So much of our paralysis comes from spinning in circles around certain things, when what we should be doing is just putting it out, seeing how people react, and then changing it. Get it out and iterate along the way. We are smart enough that we can always pivot, no matter what comes our way.And my last but not least learning from chatting to all these amazing women in the beauty space, is that all good things simply take time. We've heard time and time again, that it takes 0 years to reach overnight success. And it's okay it takes time. Let's get straight into it!

Following the 2014 coup in Thailand, in which the Thai military overthrew the caretaker government after 6 months of political crisis, major media outlets suggested that the coup could lead to ethnic tensions—and potentially civil war—between the Isan people of northeastern Thailand and the central Thai government. While this civil war never eventuated, there were genuine tensions between the Isan people and the Thai state. In this episode, Dr Natali Pearson is joined by Associate Professor Jacob Ricks, to discuss why these tensions never escalated into full blown conflict as predicted. Is this a sign that Thailand's centuries-long effort to integrate diverse ethnic identities has been a success, and what cautionary tales might apply? About Jacob Ricks: Jacob Ricks is Associate Professor of Political Science in the School of Social Sciences at Singapore Management University. He researches development topics as well as nationalism and ethnicity in Southeast Asia, with a focus on Thailand and Indonesia. Recently he has been studying the identity of the Isan people of Northeastern Thailand. He is co-author of the book Ethnicity and Politics in Southeast Asia with Amy Liu. His research has also been published in journals like World Development, Political Behavior, Pacific Affairs, and Journal of Contemporary Asia, among others.

Historically, the industry has propagated a perception of beauty reflective of unrealistic perfection, and a lack of diversity driving women into a perpetual and elusive search for the solution. However, there's a new type of beauty emerging, where we use these powers for good. Amy Liu, Founder and CEO of Tower 28 discusses with Kelly Kovack how she spent years learning the ropes at other companies, and meeting some amazing mentors along the way. She talks about how that has prepared her to throw her hat into the entrepreneurial ring and find answers to her own sensitive skin issues. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Amy Liu is the founder of Tower 28 Beauty - named after the Tower 28 lifeguard tower at the crossroads of the Santa Monica pier and Venice Beach. Based on its rad aesthetic – sunset-esque cream blushes, bronzers and lip glosses tucked into clear acrylic packaging – you'd never guess that it's the only make-up brand to follow the U.S National Eczema Association's guidelines, which means their makeup contains zero potentially irritating ingredients for sensitive skin.

Amy Liu, founder and CEO of Tower 28, had dreams of being a beauty founder, in large part because she watched her father live out his own entrepreneurial dreams. But instead, she chose to work for some of the biggest founder-led brands before starting her own clean makeup company in 2019. "I sought out founder-based brands here in Los Angeles, and prestige ones, color, skin care. I worked at Kate Somerville, Smashbox Cosmetics, Josie Maran. And really, with all the companies -- I went to went from bigger company to smaller company -- my role kept getting bigger. The hope there was that I just wanted to see what it was like to have a seat at the table," she said on the most recent episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast. Because of Liu's own chronic eczema, Tower 28 was created to go beyond the proposition of clean. "I tried to make the switch to clean beauty, but a lot of clean beauty felt like it was actually pretty hard on my sensitive skin because there are essential oils and plant botanicals in it." Moreover, there were few clean color cosmetics options when Liu was conceiving of her brand. Layering a youthful and accessible positioning has been a boon for the new brand --- products are all under $28. It's ranked No. 7 at Sephora, and it's penetrating 1% of Sephora sales worldwide. "One percent of all Sephora customers are buying Tower 28, which is actually a feat that a lot of big brands never get to; that is partly because of the fact that our price point is low, so then a lot of people can have the ability to try our products."

This fifth episode of the Hublic Sphere, hosted by Dr Lilith Acadia, brings together five remarkable scholars, lawyers, and activists to discuss how the concept of ‘citizenship' creates power. The January 6th insurrection in Washington DC inspired this episode, yet it has much broader relevance in the US (such as Trump's family separation policy and the ongoing deportation of children under the Biden administration), Europe (from post-Brexit questions about the border between the Republic and Northern Ireland to the frequent tragedies in the Mediterranean), and globally, as the world grapples with an influx of climate and political refugees. The topic is also rooted in Dr Acadia's research, which asks how concepts like ‘religion' or ‘citizenship' that we take for granted are actually modern (or European Enlightenment) constructions that enjoy epistemic privilege, which means that knowledge related to those concepts have more power. Acadia is particularly interested in how those concepts are used as pretexts, excuses for imperialism, and injustice. From global migration to voting rights, we can see in our world today how governments or even certain fringe groups are imbuing a naturalized concept of citizenship with special power, which they then use to justify denying some people rights, or even as a pretext for violence. Speakers include Amy Liu; Evelyn Tsao; Jeremy Bierbach; Michael Bellesiles; and Sahar Ahmed. To find out more, visit: bit.ly/hublicsphere

“The American education system is not preparing all children to thrive,” say the guests on this episode, adding that many schools continue to operate according to an early 20th century “factory model” that aimed to mold students for the industrial economy. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek and Helen Hadani are co-authors of a new Big Ideas paper in the Brookings Policy 2020 series titled, “A new path to education reform: Playful learning promotes 21st-century skills in schools and beyond” In this interview, Hirsh-Pasek and Hadani explain what playful learning is and what it isn’t, what 21st-century skills are and why they are essential for our times, and how educators and school administrators can bring the playful learning approach to classrooms. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek is a senior fellow in Global Economy and Development at Brookings and in the Center for Universal Education; and also Stanley and Debra Lefkowitz Faculty Fellow in the Department of Psychology at Temple University. Helen Hadani is a fellow also in Global Economy and Development and the Center for Universal Education; as well as a fellow in the Metropolitan Policy Program's Anne T. and Robert M.
