My guest this week is Danielle Close - founder of My Skin Feels - a skincare brand using rescued food. Danielle discusses early lessons about hard work from her entrepreneurial father and teacher mother, struggling in an academic school as a dyslexic student, and finding her way into beauty through makeup training and an early role as Charlotte Tilbury's PA, where she learned “never take no for an answer.” After years in beauty and burnout, she moved toward natural and ethical wellness, ultimately founding My Skin Feels - initially inspired by her own anxiety and self-care journey and later defined by making skincare from rescued food byproducts. She explains reverse-engineering formulas to meet performance goals, customer education challenges, and the surprising benefits for skin conditions driven by her rescued food ingredients. We get into the detail of bootstrapping the business, building sales through relentless market stalls, turning down a Dragon's Den deal for a better investment deal and her parallel life as a trained fifth-generation psychic medium whose intuition influences her decisions. This is a fascinating whirlwind!

Heela Yang built Sol de Janeiro, one of the most beloved body care brands, from her dining room, but her path there looked nothing like a typical business plan. After twelve years in corporate beauty following stints at Goldman Sachs and a Harvard MBA, she left New York for Brazil for love, only to find herself pregnant, isolated, and unable to do the work that had always defined her. A single afternoon on a beach, surrounded by women of every shape in a very small bikini she'd been talked into, changed everything. In this episode, Heela shares how that moment became the emotional blueprint for Sol de Janeiro, the cult-favorite brand that launched a craze for mists and body care and built a business around embracing your body and skin as it is, no matter what size or shape.

Send us Fan MailA make-up technique isn't just a technique when it comes from a community that has watched its creativity get copied, commercialised, and stripped of its origin story. I'm speaking on the Painted by Esther and Patrick Ta situation because the reaction online is not only about beauty products, it's about power, credit, and what happens when money walks into the room and suddenly someone else gets to “own” what you built.I break down the ethics behind “repackaging” a creator's signature aesthetic, why people reach for words like extraction and modern-day colonisation, and the uncomfortable gap between what is legal and what is right. We talk about brand accountability in the beauty industry, why credit matters for Black creators, and why consistency is the only thing that makes backlash meaningful. If we really believe in consequences, we have to be honest about consumer boycott, spending power, and the ways communities can protest with their purses.Then I move to Jackie Aina and the question of influence and legacy. Nobody is obligated to speak on every issue online, but when your platform is built on advocacy and holding brands to account, audiences notice misalignment fast. I connect this to workplace politics many of us know too well: established voices becoming territorial, mentorship turning into competition, and ego shaping decisions in public.

EVEN MORE about this episode!What if the beauty industry has been teaching women to ignore the very signals their bodies are trying to send?In this episode, Julie Ryan and former international model Eva Hooft reveal the hidden links between trauma, chronic illness, gut health, and true healing.Eva shares the shocking reality behind the modeling industry—where perfection was demanded while her health quietly deteriorated. After years of severe gut issues, exhaustion, eating disorders, and feeling disconnected from herself, she realized her body wasn't failing her—it was desperately trying to communicate. What followed was a complete transformation that led her from the fashion world into holistic healing and somatic work.Together, Julie and Eva dive into the fascinating connections between trauma, parasites, inflammation, ancestral patterns, and the nervous system. They explore why many detox protocols can backfire, how emotional wounds may manifest physically, and why being told to “just live with it” can deeply impact healing.

Could the future of skincare be less about expensive creams and more about what happens beneath the skin’s surface? This Test It Out Thursday, fitness presenter and wellness correspondent Liezel van der Westhuizen joins us to unpack the science behind ingestible beauty and whether the latest generation of skin supplements may be changing how we think about aging, hydration, and skin health. As interest in oral skincare grows, Lamelle Pharmaceuticals has launched Matricoll ECM®, a next-generation peptide-based supplement designed to support collagen, elasticity, hydration, skin repair, and healthy aging from within. But with so many collagen products already on the market, what makes this one different and does the science actually stack up? From extracellular matrix regeneration and advanced peptide technology to wrinkle reduction, skin resilience, and long-term wellness, Liezel explores whether this new approach to skincare could represent the next evolution in anti-ageing and inside-out beauty.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sprzedaż B2B w branży beauty oparta tylko o handlowców coraz częściej przestaje się opłacać. Polski rynek beauty w 2024 roku był wart 25,2 mld zł i z roku na rok rośnie jeszcze bardziej.

The beauty industry is facing a major shift and most people are not fully understanding what is happening. Federal changes to student loan accountability are putting pressure on beauty schools to prove their graduates can actually earn enough to justify the cost of education. At the same time, apprenticeship programs are being pushed forward as an alternative, especially in Illinois. But what does that really mean? In this episode, I break down the facts behind the new federal regulations, how they impact cosmetology programs, and what could happen if schools begin losing access to federal funding. I also walk through the Illinois apprenticeship bill, including the legal requirements around pay, supervision, training hours, and the often misunderstood 180 hours of supplemental instruction. Most importantly, we are having the conversation no one is having: Are apprenticeships actually solving the problem, or are they shifting the cost and responsibility from the student to the salon owner? If you are a salon owner, stylist, or someone considering entering the industry, this episode will give you the clarity you need to understand where beauty education is headed and what it means for your future. https://www.tiktok.com/@beyondthechairco?_r=1&_t=ZT-96M1yqWuebt
Fashion used to be built behind the scenes. Before influencers, before front row became content, there were editors pulling all-nighters, sleeping under desks, forecasting trends, and shaping culture long before social media existed.This week, I'm joined by Tiffany Reid — fashion executive, stylist, former SVP of Fashion at Bustle Digital Group, and one of the most respected voices in fashion media. We talk about what it was really like coming up in the magazine era as Black women, the hazing culture of fashion, how the industry has changed since the rise of influencers, why editors were originally the tastemakers, and what gets lost when everything becomes fast content.We also discuss ambition, leadership, survival, motherhood, identity, and the kind of work ethic that builds lasting careers.And somehow through all of it… we laugh a lot too.

What happens when the product that made you famous starts holding you back? Kevin Gould co-founded Glamnetic in 2019 with Ann McFerran, launching a magnetic eyelash brand that exploded from $1 million to $50 million in revenue in just one year — fueled by a great product, smart growth marketing, and the COVID-era boom in DIY beauty. But when the tailwinds reversed — iOS 14 updates sent acquisition costs soaring, the lash category contracted, and revenue dipped 25% — Kevin faced a make-or-break decision. Rather than doubling down on what was declining, he pivoted the entire business into press-on nails, a category still in its infancy. Today, Glamnetic is one of the largest press-on nail brands in the world, doing over $100 million a year. In this episode, Kevin gets real about the unglamorous side of hypergrowth: the cash flow crunches that come with scaling too fast, the inventory mistakes that haunt you, and the emotional toll of watching revenue fall when you expected it to double. He shares how he and his team navigated the pivot, why community and brand affinity will always outlast paid acquisition, and why the best advice he can give founders is: don't grow too fast. You'll learn: Why going from $1M to $50M overnight nearly broke the business How to manage cash flow and inventory when you're self-funded The marketing mix that built a real brand — not just an ad machine Why TikTok Shop is the biggest arbitrage opportunity right now How a 40,000-member Facebook community doubles as a product development engine The one hire every founder should prioritize early on What it really takes — personally and professionally — to turn a pivot into a $100M business Subscribe and watch Shopify Masters on YouTube!Sign up for your FREE Shopify Trial here.

Is the undeniable return of the Y2K aesthetic dangerous? On this episode of The Double Cleanse, James and Robert are tackling the return of nostalgic beauty trends – the good, the bad and the dangerously problematic. Starting with a discussion about the recent America's Next Top Model Netflix documentary – and the return of “heroic chic” (we're NOT here for it) – James and Robert get brutally honest about the worrying resurgence of extreme thinness being glorified, the rise of "lunchtime procedures" and how Y2K nostalgia is bringing back some seriously toxic beauty standards. They also discuss their own relationships with cosmetic procedures and why they think their generation has become somewhat immune to the "you should look like this" messaging. The twins are hoping we can keep the fun nostalgia of Y2K – the Hilary Duff movies, the pop music, the glittery makeup – without sliding back into the damaging beauty standards that came with it.

If you subscribe to my Substack (I love you!) then you would have seen my column about how wellness messaging on products has, in my opinion, gone too far. We are all entitled to create a spa-like experience in our own home but it's my belief that brands latching the benefits of their products onto you taking a moment to yourself is really quite disingenuous. In this episode, I explain why it got me so riled and why we should expect better of brands.If you've been here a while then you'll know I am often vague when making a point about something contentious. I don't name names and I'm not interested in starting a fight with anyone. However, I break my own rule in this episode when it comes to the lack of reciprocity in podcasting. I was talking to a fellow OG podcaster (someone who also has 10 plus years of podcasts to their name) and we were saying how disappointing it is when you share your platform with someone and they seem indifferent and don't support you back...Plus. there's a short but sweet update on my fitness and nutrition strategy. Short and sweet because I'm wondering whether too much focus on it is as helpful as I think it is...Speaking of, this is the episode of Ready To Talk I mentioned in the show.Please do chat with me and your fellow listeners over on Substack.
