Designer Keanan Duffty; Fashion meets Music, David Bowie, Sex Pistols; The University of FailureI'm thrilled to introduce Keanan Duffty—this isn't just an intro, it's your VIP pass into the mind of a true blend of fashion, music, and education.Keanan is a British-born creative powerhouse (b. 1964, Doncaster) who's been rocking stages and runways since the late '70s After cutting his teeth in punk and New Romantic bands like Sordid Details and Wonder Stories, he sharpened his artistic vision at Central Saint Martins before relocating to NYC in 1993 to pursue both fashion and music In fashion, he founded his own Soho-based label in 1999, leaning into rock‑inspired, subculture-driven style—selling to heavy hitters like Bergdorf Goodman, Harrods, and Bloomingdale's . He's styled legends like David Bowie and the Sex Pistols—and even co-created a David Bowie-inspired line for Target in 2007. Between designing for Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B., consulting with Ben Sherman, Reebok, Aveda, Dr. Martens, and launching a built‑in wardrobe show with DIY punk flair, his style ethos is nothing short of revolutionary On the music front, he's frontman and vocalist for Slinky Vagabond—a glam‑punk supergroup that featured Sex Pistols' Glen Matlock, Blondie's Clem Burke, and Bowie/Lennon guitarist Earl Slick—tossing his voice into iconic events and venues since the 2000s. Today Slinky Vagabond is Keanan and Fabio Fabbri. Around academia, Keanan's a true educator and mentor. He's held leadership roles at Parsons, Academy of Art San Francisco, Polimoda in Florence, and now at USC's Iovine & Young Academy—teaching fashion through the lens of innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurial storytelling He's also a proud CFDA board member and advocate for Ukrainian designers, having orchestrated their platform at NYFW .What ties it all together? His signature “practical sustainability” ethos—upcycling vintage Levi's and Lee jackets, launching eco-cotton collections in the '90s, and integrating tech like CLO‑3D to slash waste Get ready for an engaging, inspiring conversation—Keanan blends raw rock energy, design discipline, and an educator's insight like no other.

Jeremy Lowenstein, a global brand strategist and marketing visionary, has been instrumental in catapulting Milani to the forefront of the beauty industry as the leading multicultural brand.  His experience at beauty giants like Aveda and Sally Hansen has equipped him with a unique ability to craft compelling brand stories that resonate across diverse markets. In his conversation with Ryan, Jeremy talks about how his approach to inclusivity is inherent to Milani's DNA, allowing it to resonate effortlessly across 40 countries.  He also discusses how TikTok and strategic partnerships, like the one with Olympic athlete Jordan Chiles, have amplified Milani's message worldwide.  Jeremy also shares why makeup is not about changing who you are but embracing and enhancing your true self, offering valuable advice (to Ryan and others) on how to communicate this to the next generation.

A chemical engineer turned community development organizer, Anthony Taylor shares the career journey that led him to founding Melanin in Motion, a Community Wellness Center program that connects children of color—and their families – with active pursuits like skiing, cycling, kayaking. Melanin in Motion was a Twin Cities Business 2024 Community Impact Award winner. “I noticed my white friends, when they think about preparing their kids for law school, they're putting them in the woods. That's the secret for making more lawyers,” Taylor says. “I want all communities to realize the benefits of municipal, state, federal investment in natural places that can show up in children being resilient, confident, and collaborative.” Taylor talks about how working for successful Minnesota wellness companies, Life Time and Aveda, helped him become a well rounded leader, and what he learned from his own startups, Spa One and Simply Organic Beauty, that led him to shift course and work for the Loppet Foundation and as president of equity outdoors for the YMCA of the North. “Melanin in Motion really is the culmination of that idea, where we see culture as an asset,” Taylor says. He also gives us a preview of his next venture: RiverNorth Development Partners, a social impact development group that is working to create a business district in North Minneapolis that prioritizes “equity driven employers” that agree to create skilled jobs for area residents who have been marginalized. Ion Aerospace is first to sign on, with plans to open on West Broadway in 2025. Following our conversation with Taylor, we go Back to the Classroom with the University of St. Thomas Schulze School of Entrepreneurship where associate professor Alex Johnson teaches entrepreneurship. He talks about the pros and cons of starting a venture on your own versus within a larger organization, and explains the difference between an inventor and an innovator. “Inventors create things. Innovators identify the problem, the value, and build a solution.”

Today's episode is Part 2 which follows on from last week's episode with Tracey Woodward. In today's episode we delve into Tracey's career journey, starting from her transition into the hairdressing industry, her impactful time at Aveda and Urban Retreat, and the various roles she undertook.  Tracey opens up about overcoming personal challenges, imposter syndrome, and the transformative journey of taking control of her health.  The discussion touches on the importance of community, spirituality and resilience. In today's show amongst other things we discuss… ●      The importance of authenticity and determination in personal and professional growth.●      Taking control of your health●      Giving backAnd lots moreFor full show notes, links and resources mentioned visit: https://growmysalonbusiness.com/podcast/254 Thanks so much for joining me this week.

Our lives are a journey, and like every journey, where you start out and where you end up is what makes life so interesting.  My guest on this episode is Tracey Woodward, who, like many people, didn't have the easiest start in life. However, unlike many people, she didn't let her past define her future.  Tracey shares her life story, starting with being born prematurely to a teenage mother in the 1960s to her struggle with illiteracy and surviving in an environment marked by crime and neglect.  Despite these challenges, Tracey's perseverance and determination saw her rise to senior positions in renowned beauty companies such as Aveda, Urban Retreat, and Donna Karan.  Tracey's story is a story of resilience and the power of transformation. It's a story of grit, street smarts, personal reinvention and a living example of "Your past does not equal your future."  So, on today's podcast, we discuss: ●      The importance of looking like you belong.●      Why you shouldn't be afraid of asking for help …and…●      Not being afraid of getting it wrong.   And lots more! In this Episode: 01:24 Introducing Tracey Woodward03:24 Tracy's early life and struggles 09:12 Stories of survival and street smarts16:19 Learning to read and write22:25 Choosing a different path in life27:37 Discovering support and an introduction to the beauty world37:52 Career milestones and mentorship41:37 Overcoming challenges and achieving success45:30 Reflecting on personal growth  Thanks so much for joining me this week.

He is 33 and had a career in Corporate America (worked with students and been in HR) prior to joining the Beauty Industry. -- Victor sees a gap between exiting school directly and being the stylist you want to be. -- There are a number of different things cosmetology schools can do to increase the awareness of the students and help prepare them for longevity in the Beauty Career -- Bringing in people like Industry Aligned to discuss body mechanics and how it can impact your career or exposing students to L'Oréal's Head-Up mental health training program -- Having an undergrad degree, he recognizes that many life skills aren't taught in college, so it's not just the Beauty Industry-- As Victor prepares for graduation by shadowing and interviewing at different salons, coming from an HR background, he feels there are places where we can add more structure, rigor, and process, especially so people have the information they need to make informed decisions to set themselves on a path to success -- How do we know what you say is what you'll do if it's not written down? How can I assess integrity and growth plans if it's communicated casually as opposed to a place to access/as a resource? -- Think about providing various touchpoints of opportunity to learn more about people on a behavioral level -- Understand what the Rising Stylist does well and how they want to grow from a technical level -- Goal alignment: Where do you want to be, and how can we both push each other to grow and learn together?-- There needs to be more intentional conversations (less open-ended) but also honesty about the vision for the salon/space, how you are looking for folks to grow, and what might be coming that is on the road map. This will help Rising Stylists make informed decisions and Owners be more comfortable about talent coming into their space.-- This is not an individual profession; being a business owner is not an individual task (you're leading & managing people and shepherding a vision. You can't effectively shepherd without being able to share a clear vision, get feedback, and share expectations.-- At school, people have varying experiences because they don't know what they should experience. -- Do the educators stay with you for the whole haircut or walk away and come back? How do we work together?-- Victor predicts that we will return to caring more about the fundamentals (WE all need to define what that means), but it will be led by the guests' needs/wants. -- Guests will notice you gave them the exact cut they wanted, but if they say it doesn't look the best on them and a stylist doesn't have the fundamentals, they won't be able to satisfy the client....

Today's guest, Nadine Artemis, is simply an amazing, vibrant being with an extraordinary, voracious curiosity and a brilliant mind for authentic health and wellness. Ultimately, these wonderful attributes coalesced and led to Nadine creating her very own luxury health & beauty company, Living Libations. She is described by Alanis Morissette as “a true-sense visionary," while Aveda founder, Horst Rechelbacher, calls Nadine “a pure flower of creativity.” I can corroborate both of these testimonials after the illuminating conversation I had with Nadine, where we cover an array of fascinating topics from sunlight to essential oils to holistic dentistry to debunking beauty and health product myths and much more! ​​Living Libations is a luxury line of organic wild-crafted non-GMO serums, elixirs, and essential oils for those seeking the purest of the pure botanical natural health/wellness and beauty products on the planet. We discuss many of these products and why Nadine feels so impassioned to create them and the "why" behind what makes them unique and highly sought after.​​For example, sunscreen theoretically "protects" you from the sun while it is instead laced with toxic chemicals and blocks you from receiving the beneficial, nutritional light from the sun; this is a double whammy with negative health benefits. Nadine would rather advocate for utilizing a product that has zero toxins and, instead, integrates natural elements and well-being substances (i.e. essential oils) that promotes healthy sun exposure while also providing nourishing health advantages; in this case, a double whammy with positive health benefits! She carries this principal forward with face and hair beauty products, arm pit solutions and oral health creations.​​Nadine is also the author of two books, Renegade Beauty and Holistic Dental Care (links to these books below), as well as a frequent commentator on health and beauty for media outlets and her products have received rave reviews in the New York Times, Goop, New York Magazine, Vogue, InStyle, the Hollywood Reporter and many more. She is a beauty philosopher, aromacologist, and botanical muse. Nadine believes in simplicity and a natural, rhythmic approach -she is a disruptor to the mainstream idea of "wellness" “beauty” and “beauty products.”  Needless to say, Nadine is a brilliant mind with a whole-hearted, vibrant soul. She is simply a joy to learn from.    As always, learn lots and light up your health! - Key points: Introduction (00:00:00 - 00:01:32:23): Dr. Mike welcomes Nadine Artemis, creator of Living Libations, to discuss her journey and holistic approach to beauty and wellness. Background (00:01:33:00 - 00:03:08:19): Nadine's childhood fascination with nature led to her aromatherapy store. Recognizing flaws in mainstream body care, she created Living Libations. Projects and Books (00:03:08:19 - 00:08:04:00): Nadine's books, "Holistic Dental Care" and "Renegade Beauty," are well-received. Living Libations focuses on organic, wildcrafted products. Collaboration and Challenges (00:08:04:02 - 00:10:21:24): Dr. Mike explores Living Libations' resilience, challenges, and collaboration with Nadine. Popular Products and Innovation (00:10:21:24 - 00:13:34:13): Living Libations' innovations include dental serums and oil-based facial cleansers, emphasizing botanical biotics. Beauty Myths and Ancestral Practices (00:14:01:11 - 00:18:24:20): Nadine dispels beauty myths, emphasizes ancestral practices, and explores the benefits of essential oils. Sun Exposure and Vitamin D (00:24:11:09 - 00:33:28:09): Discussion on balanced sun exposure, debunking sunscreen myths, and Nadine's personal practices. Essential Oils and Quality (00:40:20:26 - 00:43:27:15): Nadine stresses the importance of quality essential oils, addressing common issues and bioactivity. Engaging with Elements (00:44:01:05 - 00:46:34:41): Transition to engaging with natural elements, holistic well-being, and the positive effects of sun exposure. Holistic Dental Care (00:51:51:05 - 01:04:36): Overview of holistic dental care, emphasizing the living nature of teeth, and Nadine's book insights. Tooth Care Practices and Red Light Therapy (01:04:35 - 01:08:12): Discussion on dental care practices, anecdotes, and the importance of red light therapy for health. Closing Thoughts (01:09:40 - Closing): Dr. Mike expresses gratitude, emphasizing small health steps, and Nadine encourages embracing the sun and making simple switches for oral care. - Watch this episode on YouTube - Learn more about & from Nadine Artemis:   Website: https://LivingLibations.com/  Twitter/X: @LivingLibations   Instagram:  @nadineartemisofficial & @livinglibationsofficial   YouTube: @livinglibationsofficial   Facebook: @livinglibations & @nadineartemis - Books By Nadine Artemis: Renegade Beauty Holistic Dental Care - Learn more about methylene blue & BioBlue: Methylene blue​ ​BioBlue - Dr. Mike's #1 recommendations: Grounding products: Earthing.com EMF-mitigating products: Somavedic Blue light blocking glasses: Ra Optics - To learn more about red light therapy, methylene blue, and shop for the highest-quality red light therapy products, visit https://www.biolight.shop - Stay up-to-date on social media: Dr. Mike Belkowski: Instagram LinkedIn   BioLight: Instagram YouTube Facebook

Sponsored by OLAPLEX®https://pro.olaplex.com/ Interview with John MoroneyWith over 35 years in hairdressing, John Moroney has had the unique opportunity to work at virtually every level of the industry. On a break from university studies, he enrolled in beauty school at the suggestion of a friend, not realizing at the time that he would spend his entire adult life in this exciting and creative field. Working behind the chair for many years, John fell in love with helping other stylists through education. As a part-time educator for brands such as Sebastian and Aveda, he began to look for an opportunity to work full-time in brand education. Starting with Aveda Corporation in the early days of the brand, he eventually became Global Director of Education, reporting to founder Horst Rechelbacher. The next phase of his career led him to Los Angeles where he spent the next fourteen years leading Global Education for Sebastian and then with Wella / P&G Salon Professional. Joining Kao Salon Division in 2011, John headed the company's global education & communication efforts, as well as serving as Global Creative Director for Goldwell, KMS, Varis and Kerasilk. He now is the VP of Global Education & Customer Experience for OLAPLEX.Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jtmoroney https://www.instagram.com/jtmoroney/https://www.instagram.com/olaplex/?hl=en https://pro.olaplex.com/News from TheTease.comhttps://www.thetease.com/strands-for-trans-co-founders-xavier-cruz-and-jp-gomez-on-the-importance-of-creating-salon-spaces-where-everyone-feels-safe-and-welcome/ https://www.thetease.com/gentle-styling-a-new-way-to-love-your-natural-hair/ https://www.thetease.com/how-to-recreate-one-of-dulce-marias-most-iconic-roberta-pardo-hairstyles/ More from TheTease:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/readthetease/ (readthetease)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyehlers/ / (KellyEhlers)Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eljeffreycraig/ (eljeffreycraig)Web: https://www.thetease.com (TheTease.com)Email: VolumeUp@TheTease.comCredits: Volume Up is a Tease Media production.

It encompasses a house of about 30 brands including their flagship brand Estée Lauder, as well as other brands such as Clinique, Crème de la Mer, MAC, Jo Malone, Aveda, Le Labo, Bobbi Brown, Origins, Dr.Jart+, Too Faced cosmetics, and more. The beauty giant was founded by Jane's grandmother, Estée Lauder, over 75 years ago. Before there were data and analytics to pull from, Estée Lauder would gather information about potential consumers by analyzing women's bathrooms, paying close attention to details such as décor and the colors of their tiles. She then used this information to design aspirational product packaging that would elevate its surroundings. “In the beginning, we were a one-woman research company, and that one woman was Estée Lauder.”Today the company has a wealth of digital and in-store data. Jane and her team use this data to understand consumers' aspirations better, gain insight into how different consumers use their products, and spot emerging trends in the cosmetic industry. This information helps them to respond to trends and tailor their products and messaging to meet consumers' unique needs and aspirations. As Estée Lauder's Chief Data Officer, Jane's biggest obstacle resides in deciding how to best utilize the ample data she has access to. Another obstacle lies in determining how to strike a balance between satisfying consumer needs today and investing in the future of the company. “You want to be able to use the data you have to create incredible opportunities, but also think about how to unlock the data for the future, and how to set up the foundational data sets, and data containers, if you will, to be able to create this quick analysis of the future.” Jane believes the future is promising for those seeking roles as data scientists within the cosmetics industry. The cosmetics industry is teeming with opportunities to connect with consumers and make a difference.

One wouldn't think that being an introvert would actually help a hairdresser become a celebrity stylist. But that's just what happened to Ryan Richman (@ryanrichman), who was recently named an @aveda ambassador.

In this episode, you'll learn how he broke into this area of our industry, how he developed the necessary skills and how being naturally introverted has helped him succeed.
