Sponsored by milk_shake X Hello Salon Pro https://thetease.shop/products/hello-salon-pro-subscription-box Interview with Andrew EdwardsonAndrew Edwardson is the Global Brand President of Matrix. Matrix is a leading professional brand whose mission is to elevate its users through a unique portfolio of products for all hair types and all humans. Since assuming this role two years ago, Andrew has refocused the vision of the brand itself – harnessing and expanding upon its pioneering 44-year legacy to connect with the next generation of consumers and stylists. Throughout his 15-year international career in the beauty industry, Andrew has been instrumental in unlocking the potential of and turning around brands and the categories within. His expertise in luxury brand management, product development, and communications reinvigorated Kérastase to become the #1 luxury hair brand in the industry with iconic products Blond Absolu, and Genesis. He has also worked on industry legend Maybelline, supporting pillars like Fit Me and reviving the complexion category in the post-pandemic decline with new star products like SuperStay 24H Skin Tint and the recently launched Sunkisser liquid blushes. With Matrix, Andrew has the same ambition: for this iconic institution to take its rightful place as the love brand for the next generation. And with that in mind, he is spearheading the modernization of founder Arnie Miller's vision, celebrating Matrix as a brand to elevate, inspire, and bring joy to both new and existing consumers and stylists. His renewed focus on haircare is highlighted by the launch of star range Food For Soft (already top 10 in hydration in the market), as well as the new Instacure Build-A-Bond repair range that delivers one billion bonds in every bottle to fight damage.Links:https://www.instagram.com/iamandrewedwardson/https://www.matrix.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewedwardson/https://www.instagram.com/matrix/ News from TheTease.com: https://www.thetease.com/dreamsgirls-hair-and-donnas-recipe-rally-to-provide-aid-to-those-affected-by-the-los-angeles-wildfires/https://www.thetease.com/fastfoils-brings-new-innovation-to-the-foil-category-with-launch-of-first-endothermic-pop-up-foil/Help Those Impacted By The California Fires: https://www.thetease.com/a-comprehensive-list-of-gofundme-pages-for-beauty-professionals-impacted-by-la-fires/

When Clinique's 52-year-old Black Honey lipstick went viral on TikTok in 2021, it represented a major shift for both the decades-old brand and the beauty industry. For the industry, it introduced the notion that viral TikTok moments could be a cash windfall for brands and worthy of their always-on marketing attention. For Clinique, it jumpstarted the need for the brand to act like a nimble startup and affirm its cultural currency. Since then, Clinique has been bullish on reaching younger consumers through college campus activations, building on its Black Honey fame with new products, and further developing its science-led background with new studies and liaisons with medical experts. At the helm of this growth is Michelle Freyre, global brand president of Clinique. She joined The Estée Lauder Companies in 2020 as svp and global general manager of Clinique. Previously, Freyre spent 20 years at Johnson & Johnson holding various leadership roles within its consumer health product division. Freyre joined the latest episode of the Glossy Beauty podcast to talk about post-Black Honey virality, the significance of Gen Z's love for skin care and the new needs states of today's beauty customers. 

Jennifer Sey spent over 20 years at iconic clothing brand Levi's, rising from Chief Marketing Officer to Brand President. But when she fought against school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic, she says the CEO told her “there's just not a path for you here.” She resigned and was reportedly offered a $1 million exit package – presumably to buy her silence with an NDA – but turned it down so she could continue fighting for children's education. Now, three years later, the New York Times has confirmed Jennifer Sey's fears: the “startling evidence on learning loss is in” and pandemic school closures were a disaster for American children. “More than 3 years too late, the New York Times has now given permission to acknowledge what was obvious from the beginning,” writes Jennifer Sey. “But if you dared to say so in 2020, or 2021, or even 2022, you were smeared with all sorts of career-ending ad hominem attacks.” Jennifer Sey is an author, filmmaker, business executive and retired artistic gymnast.

Andrew speaks with author, filmmaker and former gymnast, Jennifer Sey, who tells her story of being forced out of her very prominent position at Levi Strauss & Co. for her outspoken advocacy of children during the Covid pandemic. We discuss the damage that society inflicted on children due to oppressive restrictions, and how those restrictions have led to mental health issues and unprecedented learning loss, and her upcoming documentary film on the subject, “Generation Covid.”Once a proud progressive, Sey talks about how the last few years have changed her politics and about her disillusionment with progressivism, and how progressive policies have helped destroy her longtime hometown of San Franciso. She also shares stories about her gymnastic career and reveals if she has any regrets about the physical and mental toll that world-class gymnastics took on her.Jennifer Sey is an American author, filmmaker, business executive and retired artistic gymnast.

My guest today is Jennifer Sey, an American author, filmmaker, business executive and a retired artistic gymnast, who was the 1986 USA National Champion. Jennifer began working at Levi's in 1999, rising to Chief Marketing Officer and then Global Brand President.  She was fired from Levi's last year after speaking out against the lockdowns and specifically the harms caused to children in San Francisco; Public schools were closed for 19 months during Covid in San Francisco for 50,000+ children: the longest closure in the world, while (privileged) private schools opened up in 2020. Most of the affected children are underprivileged, and for them Jennifer fought while exposing the hypocrisy of the "Liberal Democrats" who pretend to advocate for equality & equity, and exposing the woke culture, both of Levis and the public. Jennifer refused an exit grant of 1 million dollars (!!!) in exchange for her silence, because her story and her mission are more important than money. Her recent book, “Levi's Unbuttoned,” tells the inspirational story of her corporate career, search for authenticity, and ultimate refusal to bow to the woke mob. We talked about: Career path at Levis, their response to Jennifer's views Levis' $1m offer to self-censor California's Covid restrictions, public schools closures Democrats hypocrisy in the US Free speech, media manipulation Labeling & damaging one's reputation  “Viewpoint discrimination” Twitter's new CEO “Woke washing”: Diversity & Inclusion, ESG  Predictions for the US Corporate America workforce Bud Light & Target failed marketing campaigns I hope you enjoy the show; please share it forward, leave a review and make sure your voice is heard!

As Estée Lauder's first-ever Chief Data Officer, Jane Lauder is combining data science with creativity to fuel the growth of the company. Jane has worked at Estée Lauder for 26 years – 24 of which she spent working on the brand and marketing aspects of the business. While working as the Global Brand President of Clinique, Jane saw the power of data to drive all aspects of the business, motivating her to transition into her current role. Estée Lauder Companies is one of the world's leading manufacturers and marketers of luxury skincare, makeup, fragrance, and hair care products. 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.

     Jennifer Sey was on track to become the first woman CEO of Levi Strauss & Co. As the President of the Levi's brand, she was widely celebrated as a versatile and inspirational leader who had helped save the iconic brand from bankruptcy. Formerly a self-described "left of left of center" progressive, she was beloved as the embodiment of the company's "profits through principles" ethos.But everything changed when Sey publicly opposed the closure of San Francisco's public schools at the height of the pandemic. In response to her 'wrong-think,' management gave her a choice: shut up or leave. She decided that defending at-risk children was more important than the job that she loved, and so she resigned. After more than two decades at the company, she gave up her professional future to retain her voice.In Levi's Unbuttoned, Sey recounts her remarkable journey from U.S. National Gymnastics champion through her rise the corporate ladder at Levi's. As the highest profile executive to fall victim to the cancel culture engulfing America, her story is an inspiration for all those who, in these difficult times, feel pressured to remain silent on their most fundamental beliefs.The more Americans who stand up to "woke-ism," the better chance we have at creating a truly equitable and inclusive society. Principles and integrity matter. Ultimately, they matter more than anything else.Ms. Sey, author of Levi's Unbuttoned: The Woke Mob Took My Job But Gave Me My Voice, is an American author, filmmaker, business executive and retired artistic gymnast.

We then dive into Amika's standout success on social in recent years, and hear how building a more sophisticated influencer marketing engine—and a dedicated “A-team” creator community—helped propel this growth. Next, Chelsea explains why the sales team is so important to a beauty brand, as they are the “eyes and ears to the customer,” before sharing how Amika leverages its community of professional hair stylists for product feedback. Finally, we learn why Amika, which earned Sephora's “Clean at Sephora” seal last year, has evolved its product line to include clean, responsibly sourced ingredients—plus, Chelsea reveals that the brand is on its way to receiving a B Corp certification.

Jennifer Sey (@jennifersey) said she was on track to be the first female CEO of Levi Strauss & Co. until she resigned after over two decades at the jeans maker after facing pressure to stay quiet about her opposition to San Francisco's public school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout the pandemic, Sey was vocal about the policies impacting children, including the closure of schools and playgrounds, the masking of toddlers, learning loss, the increased educational gap, and the mental health crisis among teens that resulted from these closures. In February 2022, Sey, then-Brand President of Levi Strauss & Co., resigned and published an op-ed in Bari Weiss's Common Sense (now The Free Press) where she revealed that she was offered $1 million in severance if she signed a non-disclosure agreement. She chose to forfeit the money and tell her story in the new book, “Levi's Unbuttoned: The Woke Mob Took My Job But Gave Me My Voice.” In this episode, Sey discusses her time at Levis, joining as a marketing assistant in 1999, rising to Chief Marketing Officer, a role she held for several years, and her promotion to Global Brand President in October 2020. In January 2022, she was asked to resign because of her social media posts that were critical of COVID mandates. Topics featured in the episode include woke capitalism infiltrating corporate America, cancel culture, policy failures during the pandemic, free speech, the political divide, why there shouldn't be pandemic amnesty, and more. Sey, the 1986 USA Gymnastics National Champion and a 7-time member of the U.S. Women's National Team, also revisited her time as an elite gymnast and why she walked away from the sport ahead of the 1988 Olympics. She is the author of the book “Chalked Up,” which detailed the coaching cruelty in the sport, and the producer of the Emmy award-winning documentary “Athlete A.” 0:00 Intro 1:06 An ‘unusual childhood' as an elite gymnast 2:00 Gymnastics rife with abuse 3:30 Too broken to continue 5:00 Said the thing you're not supposed to say out loud 6:23 Thoughts on quitting 9:26 Imposter syndrome 12:21 Early career after Stanford 15:50 Overcoming the doubters 18:38 CMO is a very slippery seat 20:00 Live In Levi's campaign 22:22 No raise, no equity 26:05 No stock payout at the IPO 26:41 ‘Use your voice' 28:00 Speaking out during COVID 30:56 The ‘controversial' tweets 32:12 An ‘unacceptable' ‘problematic' view 33:58 The Fox News appearance 35:00 The viral Twitter thread 35:36 The email before the ‘apology tour' 37:29 A dark time, treated as a ‘toxic employee' 39:00 ‘It's really cult-like' 39:44 Promoted to brand president in October 2020 40:53 Told she was a candidate for CEO 41:28 Submitted to a background check 43:00 Offered $1M severance to walk away quietly 45:30 Vaccine mandate 46:30 Wrote book to encourage folks to speak up 47:19 Why are people quiet? 48:50 Views on political binary 51:50 A return to corporate America? 53:25 Should there be COVID amnesty? 56:29 Lessons for children

In Ep. 61 of Earned, we sit down with beauty industry veteran Catherine Gore, Global Brand President of sustainable skin and hair brands Biossance and JVN Hair (yes, as in Jonathan Van Ness, professional hairstylist and star of Queer Eye). We start the episode by unpacking the key areas of focus that help Catherine scale a brand, before learning why she prioritizes building a positive, supportive team culture. We then explore the interplay between a brand's DTC and retail footprints, and Catherine reveals why there's “no replacement” for either. Next, we take a step back and hear why Catherine decided to pivot away from the LVMH corporation and enter the indie beauty world, before discussing best practices for launching celebrity-founded brands. Finally, Catherine emphasizes why “connection is key” when it comes to successful influencer marketing, and closes the show with advice to young professionals looking to achieve a similar path to success.

Jennifer Sey spent more than twenty years at Levis Strauss and Company, rising through the ranks to Chief Marketing Office and then Global Brand President. In 2020, she was in line to become CEO of the company when the Covid pandemic hit and she found herself working from home with four kids out out school. Soon, she became frustrated by school closures and puzzled about lockdown polices for kids in general. And she started speaking up about it. This did not sit well Levis and Jennifer was eventually forced out of the company — and offered a million dollar severance package in exchange for singing a non-disclosure agreement. But Jennifer was so committed to speaking out that she turned down the deal. In this interview, Jennifer and Meghan talk about how social media has blurred the lines between professional comportment and personal beliefs. They ask what it means when corporations take public political stances, how to tell a genuine expression of company values from virtue signaling, and whether corporate wokeness actually helps sell products. They also discuss Jennifer's career as an an elite gymnast and how her decision to come forward about abuses in USA gymnastics paved the way for her current activism around kids and covid policy.     Guest Bio: Jennifer Sey spent close to 23 years at Levi Strauss & Company, holding a variety of leadership positions, including Global Brand President. She was first woman to hold that post. She is also a former elite gymnast and was the U.S. National all-around champion in 1986. In 2008, she released a memoir, Chalked Up, about her life in gymnastics and she is also the producer of the Emmy award-winning documentary Athlete A, about abuses within competitive gymnastics, including the sexual abuses of hundreds of young gymnasts committed by team doctor Larry Nassar.

Ever since California shuttered schools during the pandemic, Levi's President Jennifer Sey was outspoken, advocating for schools to reopen to get students back in classrooms.  As a result of her public questioning of school closures, she claims she was warned to stop this speech by Levi's legal department, HR department, and even Levi Strauss CEO Chip Bergh.  The pressure, she says, eventually forced her to quit.  On the FOX News Rundown this week, former Global Brand President of Levi's and author Jennifer Sey joined host Lisa Brady to share why she felt she had no choice but to speak up about California schools' closures and how that led to her eventual resignation. Sey also discussed 'cancel culture' in the corporate world and how much of it is being driven by not just outside 'outrage' on social media but also from within companies themselves by a younger generation of woke employees.

Jen Sey is the global brand president at Levi Strauss & Co.,  where she is responsible for marketing, design, merchandising, and brand experience. Jen has been with Levi Strauss & Co. for more than 20 years, holding a variety of leadership positions within the Marketing, Strategy, and Ecommerce teams. In 2013, Jen became the global chief marketing officer for the Levi's brand and, in 2018, was appointed senior vice president and chief marketing officer, overseeing marketing for the company's portfolio of brands. Jen has been named one of AdAge's "Top 40 Marketers Under 40" one of Brand Innovators' "Top 50 Women in Marketing," Billboard Magazine's "Top 25 Most Powerful People in Music and Fashion," receiver of the CMO Social Responsibility Award and she was featured on Forbes CMO Next List: 50 Chief Marketers Who Are Redefining the CMO role. As a child, Jen led an intense life of dedication, challenge, and competition. She won the U.S. National Gymnastics Championship title in 1986, less than one year after having suffered a devastating injury at the 1985 World Championships. As a result, the U.S. Olympic Committee named her Gymnastics' Athlete of the Year. Jen retired after eight years on the national team and went on to study at Stanford University. In 2008, Jen released a memoir, “Chalked Up,” a New York Times E-Book Best Seller detailing her triumphs and struggles within the world of competitive gymnastics. Jen's book led to her producing a Netflix documentary on the investigation and ultimate conviction of Larry Nassar and the decades-long abusive culture of USA Gymnastics. This was a pretty wide-ranging conversation and Jen really over delivered on the leadership advice here, focusing a lot on how climbing the corporate ladder is not always a recipe for success in corporate America, as well as details on how Levi's weathered the storm of COVID-19 and keys to establishing an authentic company culture.  Here are some key takeaways from this conversation with Jen. Focus on expansion over upward progression. This is a great piece of career advice. In addition to her executive position at a Fortune 500 brand, Jen is a former elite athlete, published author, and successful documentary producer. She has had accomplishments in many disparate arenas, and each experience seems to have compounded to develop her professionally in ways that serve just about everything she does. This may run counter to the 'Jack of all trades' debate, but Jen makes it work beautifully. When Jen found herself overly focused on climbing the corporate ladder, she frequently felt stuck. What Jen found to be a much more effective and enjoyable strategy for her career progression was to focus on experiences and projects that would expand her skill sets and knowledge base. Doing so made her a much more well-rounded professional with the ability to pivot, adapt, and learn new skills, all of which served her tremendously as a leader. Bring a unified version of yourself to everything you do. When publishing her first book, Jen's initial instinct was to be silent about it out of concern it could make her seem less dedicated to her corporate work. As her book's popularity blew up and she began doing a robust amount of media interviews, ultimately, she could no longer hide it. What ended up happening when people found out, though, was the opposite of what she had feared; her new accomplishment was extremely impressive to many people and made her more synonymous with being outspoken, creative, and downright more interesting, all of which ultimately helped her career. So if you're accomplishing a lot with your side hustles, don't hide them because they may just help boost your corporate persona. Creating an environment for true selves is the key to authenticity, and it starts at the top.  Leaders who are forthright about their own feelings give others permission to do the same. This has never been more...

This has never been more important than now, where a lot of managers and executives are relinquishing the notion of a flawless and unfeeling leader as an outdated archetype.  Instead, today's leaders are feeling free to be honest and vulnerable around their staff, which gives those who report to them the license to do the same. This level of transparency is what truly allows corporate atmospheres to blossom into authentic communities.

Formed in 2019 and signed by JYP Entertainment, ITZY burst onto the scene by smashing records with ” Dalla Dalla ,” the quintet's debut single that peaked at #2 on Billboard's YouTube chart and #1 on iTunes' song chart in twelve regions. With four albums, a successful reality series, an 11-city showcase tour, and countless accolades (including 11 Rookie of the Year/Best New Artist awards) under their belts in just two years, ITZY continues to rise in popularity around the world. Their upcoming album set to drop on April 30 , “Guess Who,” promises to further cement the girl group as a global force. Their fans are drawn not only to their statement-making style, smooth dance moves, and catchy tunes, but the inspiring messages of empowerment that encourage listeners to be unapologetically themselves. ITZY's slogan, “All in us,” is a reflection of the group's core values, which include self-confidence and unconditional self-love. These beliefs come through in their music. Each song carries a message for the world and their fans and aims to inspire people daily. ITZY's spirit and positive platform sync up with Maybelline's brand values of confidence, empowerment, and inclusivity. “I have been watching ITZY's inspiring rise and was drawn to how dynamic they are both as a group and individuals,” says Trisha Ayyagari , Global Brand President, Maybelline New York. “ITZY champions self-love, individuality, and self-expression to their fans and global community. Their energy is powerful and I am so excited to bring these voices to Maybelline!” As a group that exudes confidence, Yeji, Lia, Ryujin, Chaeryeong, and Yuna credit makeup experimentation as a way to express themselves in their own unique way while simultaneously showcasing the personality and power of ITZY. “We have always admired the Maybelline brand and are so excited to be able to contribute our creativity, positivity, and energy to their global community,” said ITZY. “It's a huge opportunity to bring new sides of ourselves to our fans and to remind the world that being confident and bold is in all of us.” ITZY will first appear in Maybelline's Hypersharp Liner, Ultimatte Lipstick, and SuperStay Foundations campaigns in Asia this spring.
