This week, I'm sitting down with Jordan Harper, founder of Barefaced and one of the smartest voices in skincare. We talk about how a teenage struggle with acne led her from the ICU to building one of the fastest-growing skincare brands in the country, all while raising four kids and navigating over $500,000 in student debt.Jordan shares the skincare advice everyone should know, the products that actually matter, why most routines are far too complicated, and the surprising reason consistency beats every quick fix. We also get into motherhood, time management, building a business without investors, and the mindset shifts that helped her turn a garage startup into a thriving company.Whether you're looking for better skin, better habits, or inspiration to finally start the thing you've been dreaming about, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How far can we trust research that is generated without asking a single human being? In this episode, I sat down with Jordan Harper from Qualtrics to unpack one of the most talked-about developments at the Qualtrics X4 Summit, synthetic research. It is a topic that sparks curiosity, excitement, and a fair amount of skepticism in equal measure. And honestly, that tension is exactly why this conversation matters. Jordan brings a rare mix of scientific thinking and real-world technology experience, which makes him well placed to cut through the hype. We explored what synthetic panels actually are, and just as importantly, what they are not. While many assume this is simply about asking a large language model for answers, the reality is far more nuanced. The approach Jordan and his team are building is grounded in how humans respond to surveys, trained on vast datasets to reflect the inconsistencies, biases, and unpredictability that make human insight valuable in the first place. What stood out throughout our conversation was the idea that synthetic research should be seen as additive rather than a replacement. It offers speed, flexibility, and the ability to test ideas quickly, but it does not replace the depth and lived experience that only real people can provide. In fact, some of the most interesting insights come from comparing synthetic responses with human ones, revealing patterns, biases, and even blind spots in traditional research methods. We also got into the practical side of things. From controlling for issues like survey fatigue and social desirability bias, to experimenting with question design in ways that would be difficult with human respondents, synthetic research opens up new ways of working. At the same time, it raises important questions about validation, trust, and where to draw the line when decisions carry real-world consequences. For me, this episode is about perspective. In a world where AI is accelerating everything, it can be tempting to look for shortcuts. But as Jordan explains, the real value comes from using these tools thoughtfully, alongside human insight rather than in place of it. So as this technology continues to evolve, how should researchers and business leaders strike that balance? And where could synthetic research help you ask better questions before you make your next big decision?
What if the most honest and insightful feedback you could get about your customers didn't come from an actual customer at all?Agility requires not just the ability to pivot quickly, but the foresight to know *which way* to turn. That foresight is built on a foundation of deep, unbiased insights, which are becoming increasingly difficult to get through traditional means.We are in Seattle at the Qualtrics X4 Summit, and today, we're going to talk about a fundamental shift in how we gather customer insights. We'll explore the diminishing returns of traditional research and dive into the potential of synthetic panels—AI models trained to represent audiences without the fatigue, bias, or social desirability that can skew human responses.

Most people think better skin comes from more products and pricier treatments. But Jordan Harper knew better. With no safety net, she built Barefaced to simplify skincare down to what actually works.

Jordan Harper built an eight-figure skincare brand in its first year by maxing out five credit cards while already $500,000 in debt — and never raised a single dollar from investors. In this interview, the founder of Barefaced breaks down how years of treating patients as a nurse practitioner revealed a massive gap in the skincare market, why simplifying routines unlocked explosive demand, and how a password-protected pre-order generated over 1,000 sales in 48 hours with no email list. What you'll learn in this interview: • How Jordan funded her business using credit cards instead of investors • Why simplifying to four SKUs drove eight-figure revenue • The exact pre-order strategy that validated demand before launch • How to build trust and repeat purchases without paid marketing • Why destroying inventory protected long-term brand value • How Barefaced reached a 90% repeat customer rate • The real risks of manufacturing and supplier contracts • How to hire senior talent without giving up equity • Jordan's time-blocking system for running a business and family • Why serving customers beats selling at every stage of growth By the end of this episode, you'll understand how to validate a product, fund a launch creatively, and scale a physical ecommerce brand without venture capital — while protecting margins, reputation, and personal bandwidth.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Jordan Harper, board-certified nurse practitioner and founder of Barefaced, to explore the movement toward simplicity, integrity, and long-term skin health. With nearly a decade in aesthetic medicine, Harper brings a refreshing, clinically grounded perspective to a beauty landscape overwhelmed by trends, noise, and overcomplicated routines.Harper shares how her early career in the ICU shaped her detail-oriented, problem-solving mindset — and how she carried that discipline into aesthetics. What she noticed immediately was a disconnect: patients would invest heavily in treatments but neglect the daily routine that actually sustains results. That realization became the foundation of Barefaced's “less but better” philosophy, anchored by her Core Four essentials: exfoliant, vitamin C, retinoid, and SPF.Throughout the conversation, Harper reframes skincare as prevention, not correction — a longevity-based approach that prioritizes the barrier, cellular health, and consistency over quick fixes. She also dives into the meaning of true “medical grade”: thoughtful formulations, meaningful concentrations, and uncompromising standards. It's the reason she once pulled a product at a $200,000 loss — integrity outweighs profit.From the cult-favorite Toning Pads that sparked the brand's cult following to Barefaced's commitment to education and honest guidance, Harper emphasizes serving the consumer, not selling to them.Tune in to hear how Jordan Harper is redefining modern skincare through clinical rigor, simplicity, and unwavering authenticity — and why the future of skin health is built on foundations, not fads.SHOP BAREFACED and learn more on social media!CHAPTERS:(0:02) - Introduction & Guest Welcome(0:40) - From ICU to Aesthetics: The Turning Point(2:34) - The 80/20 Rule: At-Home vs In-Office Results(4:39) - Common Routine Mistakes & Barrier Damage(7:16) - “Less, But Better” and The Core Four(9:28) - Longevity vs Anti-Aging(12:12) - What “Medical Grade” Really Means(17:28) - Scaling with Integrity & Brand Discipline(20:35) - Cult Favorites, Toning Pads & Community-Centered CarePlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaboration Hosted on Acast.

When we wrapped last year's wonderful fan favorite Watch With Jen episode on Jean-Claude Van Damme, my guests Jordan Harper, Priscilla Page, Jed Ayres, & I knew that we needed to have another martial arts movie chat in Season 6. Although Jed bowed out of this conversation (but did recently appear on a cool installment devoted to Andy Garcia you need to check out), Jordan and Priscilla returned to discuss the filmography, history, skills, range, & persona of the once-in-a-generation talent Jackie Chan. Covering several of the superstar's films in our overview & referencing his smash American crossover success with RUMBLE IN THE BRONX as well, Jordan & I shared stories of trading bootleg videotapes in school of Chan's foreign work in the '90s midwest, & the brilliantly encyclopedic Priscilla Page offered key insights & analysis on so many movies that you'll want to listen with a pad & pen to add them to your watch list.

In remembrance of the legendary Robert Redford, we're resharing this conversation from 2024 on his extraordinary career and most overlooked performances. Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between. Today we talk about the movie star. The person who if you looked up “movie star” in the dictionary there would be a picture of him. Robert Redford! Today we talk the esteemed career of the quintessential movie star. Our B-Sides include: The Hot Rock, The Great Waldo Pepper, Havana, and The Last Castle. Our guest today is Blake Howard, podcast producer, host, and really good guy. Check out One Heat Minute Productions for everything new and relevant in Blake's world. We discuss a million things, from why The Hot Rock is so hard to find, to the airplane stunts in The Great Waldo Pepper, to why Havana doesn't work. There's an investigation into the politics of The Last Castle, a brief celebration of Lena Olin, and a quick rave for Jordan Harper's searing short story “My Savage Year.” Additional topics include that upcoming City of Hope release, why Peter Yates is “slow vibes central,” why great screenwriter William Goldman knew why The Great Waldo Pepper underwhelmed at the box office (from his book Adventures in the Screen Trade), and how exactly the A-Side The Natural literally looks like nostalgia. Finally, we mention why Raul Julia didn't take a credit on Havana, we reference that superb Scott Frank New Yorker profile, proclaim ourselves defenders of Hollywood Homicide, and discuss the end of Redford's career.

This week on BEHIND THE LENS, we're looking at two films that, at their hearts, are about fathers and daughters/a father and son – the wonderful family film SKETCH and the fugitive thriller SHE RIDES SHOT GUN. Besides being solidly entertaining films, each delivers incredible performances by the young stars. And joining me to talk about these films are two amazing filmmakers, NICK ROWLAND, director and co-writer of SHE RIDES SHOTGUN, and SETH WORLEY, who makes his feature directorial debut as the writer, director, and editor of SKETCH. First, let's take a look at SHE RIDES SHOTGUN. Based on the 2017 Edgar Award-winning novel of the same name by Jordan Harper, SHE RIDES SHOTGUN is an intimate two-hander and fast-paced fugitive thriller that turns heartrending and pulse-pounding. This is the story of "Nate" McClusky and his daughter, Polly, who are on an emotional, thrilling, terrifying road trip across New Mexico as Nate tries to escape his own past — or at least to protect his 11-year-old child from paying for his mistakes. Along the way, they take shocking risks, survive daunting threats, and become profoundly close. Polly musters courage and insight well beyond her years, and Nate displays vulnerability and fortitude he didn't know he had. Switching gears to another father-daughter/father-son film, this one is for the whole family to enjoy – SKETCH. I love this film!!! It is fabulously fantastic. Creative, imaginative, vibrant, colorful, and filled with heart. Making his feature directorial debut with SKETCH is SETH WORLEY, who not only directs the film, but is writer and editor, as well as working on some of the CG compositing. SKETCH is the story of the Wyatt family – dad Taylor, daughter Amber, and son Jack – along with Tony's sister Liz. Grieving the loss of their wife and mother, Amber is having a particularly difficult time coming to terms with her mom being gone.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie stars, movie directors, and sometimes––sometimes––movie writers! Today, we speak with author and screenwriter Jordan Harper, whose novel She Rides Shotgun got made into a movie of the same name, directed by Nick Rowland and starring Taron Egerton and Ana Sophia Heger. The film is in theaters this Friday, August 1, 2025. We spoke with Harper about adapting his novel for the big screen, his reaction to watching the final cut of the film, and those superb lead performances from Egerton and Heger. There's mention of his other books The Last King of California and Everybody Knows, as well as B-Sides that reminded us of She Rides Shotgun, which include One False Move, Flesh & Bone, A Perfect World, and Lone Star. Harper mentions Freeway as well, which is a great call. Harper brings up his new novel due out next year: A Violent Masterpiece. There's also appreciation for Shogun Assassin (a direct inspiration for She Rides Shotgun) and a discussion of genre and genre tropes and why they are so effective when used well.

To celebrate the release of SHE RIDES SHOTGUN, a new crime thriller, I talked with the author and co-screenwriter Jordan Harper about the joy of watching his work remixed by director Nick Rowland, co-screenwriters Ben Collins & Luke Piotrowski and stars Taron Egerton and Ana Sophia Heger.Synopsis: In the gritty, explosive action-thriller She Rides Shotgun, Taron Egerton stars as newly released ex-con Nate. Marked for death by unrelenting enemies, Nate must now protect his estranged 11-year-old daughter, Polly (Ana Sophia Heger) at all costs. Shy, precocious, and wary of her father, Polly is swept up in Nate's dangerous plight as they flee to evade the corrupt sheriff and brutal leader of a gang who will stop at nothing to protect his criminal interests. With scant resources and no one to trust, Nate and Polly form a bond forged under fire as he shows her how to fight and survive — and she teaches him what unconditional love truly means in this intense, moving story about loyalty, strength, and redemption.SHE RIDES SHOTGUN will be released in American cinemas on August 1, 2025.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/one-heat-minute-productions/exclusive-contentAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this lively episode of “And Now We Drink,” host Matt Slayer sits down with acclaimed author (and occasional TV Writer) Jordan Harper for an engrossing conversation that runs the gamut from the surreal nature of self-perception to the vagaries of the modern entertainment industry. As they explore the oddities of seeing oneself in mirrors versus cameras, Matt and Jordan delve deep into the philosophical musings about reality and perception, inevitably segueing into discussions about the pains and aches that come with getting older. The duo doesn't shy away from critiquing the current state of capitalism and how it informs societal elements like the postal service and road systems, offering an insightful take on the responsibilities and ethics of communal ownership. The conversation then shifts to Hollywood and the entertainment world, where Harper, a seasoned veteran of TV writing and authorship, shares stories from his years in the business, the challenges of staying authentic in an industry driven by profit, and the personal journey of embracing his identity as primarily an author. Matt and Jordan also touch upon deeper cultural matters, such as the implications of the commodification of art and the impact of platforms like Netflix on television's golden age. They reflect on the cultural shifts in reading habits, the true value of hard-earned achievements versus inherited wealth, and the lasting impact of novels and shows like “Heat.” Filled with anecdotes, intellectual tangents, and candid reflections, this episode serves as both an exploration of Harper's fascinating career and a broader critique of societal norms, making it a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersections of art, culture, and commerce.

Jordan Harper is a board-certified nurse practitioner and the founder and CEO of Barefaced, a skincare brand that cuts through the noise with simple, science-backed routines. After years of treating patients frustrated by complicated regimens, Jordan launched Barefaced from her garage—while pregnant and caring for a toddler.

We also chat about the realities of burnout, how she manages her time, and why feedback and flexibility have been key to her success. Jordan keeps it real about what it takes to grow a business, how to bounce back from setbacks, and why taking action before you feel “ready” can be the key to success.In this episode, we'll talk to Jordan about:* How childhood resilience shaped her entrepreneurial drive.
