Which Coconut Water is best? The process of getting water from a coconut feels pretty straightforward considering nature does most of the work for us (unlike milking a coconut, but now is not the time to talk about that strangely arousing process). As an occasional coconut water drinker, it feels like every brand should be similar given the seemingly simple process. This has resulted in me grabbing the first reasonably priced coconut water I see. Today we are going to put my consumer indifference to the test to see if there is a difference between coconut water brands or if buying the cheapest version is good enough. This week's contenders C2O, Hyvee (Generic Brand), Vita Coco, Zico. Please like and subscribe and if you have any suggestions, let us know by tweeting us @tastetestdummies or email us at nickandjohnpodcast@gmail.com. SPOILER! Below is a list of which water corresponds to each numbered cup it was in: 1. Hyvee 2. Vita Coco 3. Zico 4. C2O

In this episode of Retention Chronicles, Mariah sits down with Kim Roxie — founder of LAMIK Beauty — for a deeply inspiring conversation on entrepreneurship, identity, and building a beauty brand that truly sees its customers.Kim shares her 21-year journey from launching a tiny makeup + brow studio in a Houston mall to building LAMIK into a national clean beauty brand distributed through JCPenney, Nordstrom, Hy-Vee, and more. She opens up about the bold decision to close her successful brick-and-mortar shop in 2018, betting everything on transitioning LAMIK into a digital-first DTC brand — a risk that positioned her perfectly for March 2020.Kim explains how she used early AI tools, quizzes, and virtual try-on to create a personalized online experience long before it became mainstream. And when the world shut down, she turned to Facebook Live — streaming every Friday night for four years with her daughter — building a fiercely loyal community that ultimately became the foundation of LAMIK's growth and even created their own “Ladies Who LAMIK” group.The episode digs into how Kim thinks about customer acquisition, what makes a product “sticky,” the importance of letting customers co-create your brand, and why sustainable retail expansion requires data, intentionality, and humility. She also shares an honest look at systemic challenges in beauty, the reality of scaling without massive funding, and the deep faith that continues to guide her through volatility in today's retail environment.This conversation is equal parts tactical, emotional, and empowering — a must-listen for any founder, beauty lover, or builder navigating the balance between vision, community, and resilience.
