“Every email that goes out with a pitch to tell someone about the brand—they may not answer, they may not opt in for product, and we may not gift them, but I built one more touch point of brand awareness and maybe [they] read that email and discovered our brand.

At entry-level, mid-level, and senior leadership positions. We need to be everywhere so we can be surrounding every industry.” “We have to open doors and invite people in.” “I was so motivated and so inspired to work on my own, have my own career, to be self-sufficient, to be independent, to be able to own and buy and create things on my own terms. That is what motivated me.” “I am in the happiest place in my life that I have ever been in. It took me so many years to get here, so many mistakes and miss-steps. And it is ok. Everyone has a different journey.” “I want women to be empowered to make choices. We should be able to make choices about our bodies and what we want to do with them. We should be able to make choices about our careers and our family. We need to make these choices with partners who are supportive of our journies just the way we are supportive of theirs.” “I had children and it turned my life upside. It was an identity crisis. I thought, ‘how can I be good at work and be a good mom?' We have to learn interdependence.” “The world revolves around interdependence. You have to learn how to rely on others to do your job and fulfill your job. You also have to be there for people when they need help. Learn to be interdependent.” --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/nikki-spo/support

CEO and Co-Founder of Wander Beauty Divya Gugnani spent nearly 20 years searching for beauty essentials that could keep up with her on-the-go lifestyle. Divya began her career in investment banking at Goldman Sachs before moving on to private equity and venture capital at Investcorp International and FirstMark Capital. A self-proclaimed ‘accidental entrepreneur,' she later left the finance world after selling her first business, and, bitten by the startup bug, went on to become a serial entrepreneur. After co-founding multiple companies and having children, she found her former beauty rituals tossed to the wayside as she became more time-starved than ever. She needed products that saved time in her day, space in her beauty bag and that never sacrificed on performance. Thus, Wander Beauty was born. Launched in 2015 with Co-Founder Lindsay Ellingson, Wander Beauty brings effortless everyday essentials TM. Each multitasker is co-created with our community and enriched with clean, globally sourced ingredients that work with your skin, not against it.

Teri and Divya dive into how Divya's journey began in investment banking at Goldman Sachs, private equity and venture capital after completing her MBA at Harvard; to "getting bit" by the start up bug and becoming one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the beauty space. Centered around her wanderlust spirit, Divya launched Wander Beauty, a brand with a goal of minimal effort, maximum results, no fuss, fool proof skin care, make up and hair care for woman on the go! Mission accomplished and sprinkled with the focus of supporting and helping other female entrepreneurs along the way! Discover wanderbeauty.com

Many would say you'd be crazy to try and compete with the L'Oreal's and Estee Lauder's of the world to launch a beauty brand, especially with no experience in the beauty space. That didn't stop Divya Gugnani, a former Goldman Saks executive, to defy the odds, successfully launching what is now one of the most beloved all natural cosmetics brands in the world: Wander Beauty. She discusses how she broke through with stars like Heidi Klum, Emma Roberts, and Sarah Jessica Parker spreading the word for her. Add to that, the company has been featured in many notable media outlets, such as Vanity Fair, Allure, and Marie Claire, and has won over 30 beauty awards, including multiple Allure "Best of Beauty" awards. Neal and Amanda catch up with Divya to dig deep into how she did it, from launch to retention. This 20 minutes packs so much wisdom, you will want to grab a pen and paper to take notes!

[11:37]* Challenges that Divya experienced during her first entrepreneurial stint and why she now doesn’t mix her personal and business relationships.

[15:23]* Driving forces behind Divya’s second venture; intelligent shopping recommendation technology. [16:58]* The realization Divya had just after giving birth to her second child in the space of two years. [22:03]* Upsides and downsides of working from home while starting Wander Beauty. [23:07]* Personal experiences that inspired the creation of Wander Beauty, and what the brand provides to the people who use it. [23:38]* Divya’s relationship with her business partner, Lindsey, and how their skill sets complement one another. [24:43]* How Wander Beauty differentiates itself from other beauty brands.

Quite the opposite of many of my Power Done Differently guests, Divya Gugnani never had huge aspirations growing up. Instead, all she wanted was to be a mid-level lawyer living in suburban utopia; white picket fence and all. But 60+ investments and a talent for co-founding successful start-ups are proof of her ‘accidental’ entrepreneurial story, and she’s not building that picket fence anytime soon. Listen as Divya shares her journey from proudly working 80 hour weeks at Goldman Sachs to hosting a cooking show on NBC, selling her e-commerce business to QVC for millions and co-founding Wander Beauty, a cosmetic company that specialise in multi-purpose beauty products for women constantly on the go. Divya also opens up about the personal pain points behind launching Wander, why she’s slow to hire and quick to fire, and how taking investment can be like a marriage without divorce. Honest and down to earth, Divya’s episode is well worth a download for anyone who doubts their own risk-taking abilities. You too can achieve great things. Real, relatable, or downright wrong?

As a serial entrepreneur and mother of two, it's safe to say that Divya Gugnani leads a crazy hectic lifestyle— which is exactly why she needed a beauty routine that was crazy simple. As the co-founder of Wander Beauty, a brand built on the principle that “less is more,” Divya and her business partner, supermodel Lindsey Ellingson, bonded over their need for a beauty routine that was as on-the-go as they were, and set out to create fewer, better beauty essentials. We discuss not only what goes into building a thriving beauty brand, but the importance of understanding how one's business is a reflection of who they are. Divya shares how both motherhood and her personal health journey with autoimmune imbalances has made her a more conscious consumer and creator, from what she puts into her body to the products she puts on it, and all the lifestyle factors in between.Episode HYElights:Divya's story leading up to Wander Beauty, and how her life has changed sinceHow to apply the principle of “minimum effort for maximum results” when it comes to skincare and lifestyleHer personal health story and journey into going more plant-basedDivya's skincare essentials, and her surprising skincare secret weapon!The ingredients to look out for in your skincare productsDivya's “on/off” rule and why doing everything at once does not make you more efficientHow to create a routine that spices up your lifeHow your brand is a reflection of your beliefs, and vice versa… and more!>// Wander Beauty// Follow Divya @Dgugnani// Follow @Wander_Beauty// The Right and Wrong Stuff by Carter Cast// Forging an Iron-Clad Brand by Lindsey Pedersen// Follow me on IG @thehyelife// Email me at Meredith@feelthehye.com// Get my FREE StressLess Daily Checklist// Apply for 1-1 Wellness Coaching// Join The HYE Life Daily Facebook Group// To get HYE vibes in your inbox, join the HYElights Newsletter HERE! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/the-hye-life-podcast/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/the-hye-life-podcast/support

Hours after the birth of her daughter, Divya Gugnani, CEO and Founder of Wander Beauty, was already asking her husband if he'd be okay with one more. “One more baby?!” he asked, incredulous. Her response? “No, one more company!” Said like a true serial entrepreneur.Formerly an investment banker, she's successfully founded four companies in three widely different sectors. And like human babies, those businesses have had their special quirks and needs, shaping her leadership style along the way. In this episode, she tells us how time and experience evolved her CEO game, what keeps her going back for more of that #startuplife, and why she runs her beauty team not unlike a sports team.#wherebrainsmeetbeauty@wherebrainsmeetbeautypodcastwherebrainsmeetbeauty.com
