She studied interior architecture and design in college and started her career as an interior designer before spending several years as a stay-at-home mom with her two daughters.

Había una vez una niña mexicana apasionada por la comunicación, que soñaba con contar historias a través del cine. Lo que nunca imaginó es que un día se convertiría en la voz latina de una de las startups educativas más innovadoras del mundo. Así comienza la historia de Rebeca Ricoy y su camino hacia Duolingo.Hoy, Rebeca es directora regional de marketing para Latinoamérica y Europa en Duolingo, una plataforma que nació en 2012 con una visión ambiciosa: democratizar el aprendizaje de idiomas y hacerlo divertido. Con más de 35 millones de usuarios activos, Duolingo no solo enseña idiomas, también educa en matemáticas y música, convirtiéndose en una referencia mundial en aprendizaje gamificado. Pero detrás de esa historia verde y viral, hay retos, decisiones arriesgadas y una pasión inquebrantable por educar.El salto que cambió su vidaUno de los momentos clave de la entrevista en el podcast Cuentos Corporativos es cuando Rebeca relata su cambio radical: dejar un cargo directivo en Estée Lauder para unirse a Duolingo, que en ese entonces era una startup pequeña, sin oficinas en México y con poca estructura. La decisión fue considerada por muchos como una locura. Sin embargo, fue el paso que cambió su vida.Ese salto al vacío, como ella lo describe, fue posible por su deseo de estar en una empresa que no tuviera que ser convencida de que lo digital era el camino. Buscaba estar a la vanguardia, experimentar, crear sin fricción. Duolingo le ofreció eso: libertad, velocidad, una cultura abierta y una misión con sentido.Gamificación, rachas y un búho intensoEl segundo punto clave que destaca Rebeca es el enfoque único de Duolingo en retención de usuarios. Aprender jugando no es un eslogan, es una estrategia basada en datos y en psicología del usuario. Rachas diarias, personajes como Duo el búho, ligas competitivas y experiencias personalizadas son algunos de los ingredientes que mantienen a millones de personas regresando a la app.La reciente campaña donde "mataron" a Duo generó revuelo en redes sociales. Según Rebeca, la idea surgió espontáneamente tras un cambio experimental en el ícono de la app. En 48 horas, el equipo de marketing construyó una narrativa que llevó a millones a hacer su lección para “revivir” al personaje. Así funciona Duolingo: estrategias ágiles, humor, cultura pop y datos en tiempo real. “Nuestro marketing es entretenimiento con propósito”, afirma Rebeca.Luis von Ahn: un CEO con alma latinaEl tercer gran punto que deja huella en la conversación es el testimonio sobre Luis von Ahn, cofundador de Duolingo. Lejos del estereotipo del CEO inalcanzable, Luis es cercano, recuerda los nombres y roles de gran parte del equipo, y mantiene una conexión auténtica con los valores de la empresa. Rebeca asegura que su liderazgo es tan esencial que, si él se fuera, probablemente ella también lo haría. “Luis es un genio, pero sobre todo, un humano con visión”, dice.El legado de Luis, creador de tecnologías como CAPTCHA y reCAPTCHA, no solo ha transformado el internet; ahora también impacta la forma en que millones acceden a la educación. Junto con su socio Severin Hacker, imaginó una herramienta que no solo enseñara, sino que retara, entretuviera y cambiara vidas.Una historia aún sin finalHoy, Rebeca sigue expandiendo la presencia de Duolingo en nuevos mercados, liderando un equipo pequeño pero poderoso, compuesto por una persona por país. Su meta: “conquistar el mundo”, como en el juego Catan, pero con educación.Esta historia, que comenzó con una niña que no quería ser académica, hoy inspira a miles de personas en el mundo corporativo a seguir su intuición, arriesgar por lo que aman y a creer que aprender puede ser tan adictivo como cualquier videojuego.Duolingo es prueba de que cuando se combinan datos, empatía y creatividad, la educación se convierte en una aventura diaria.Te invitamos a estar pendientes de nuestros canales y a suscribirte para que no te pierdes ningún episodio:* Canal Whatsapp Amigos de Cuentos Corporativos* Blog / Newsletter: www.cuentoscorporativos.substack.com* Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Cuentoscorporativos* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cuentos_corporativos/* X (Twitter): https://x.com/CuentosCorp* Email: adolfo@cuentoscorporativos.com This is a public episode.

Today on the Brett Winterble Show Brett celebrated Women's Month announcing A Symphony of Strength: Celebrating American Women From the quill-dipped hands of the Revolution to the keyboard clicks of Silicon Valley, American women have woven an indelible thread into the fabric of our nation. March, Women's History Month, isn't just a nod to the past; it's a vibrant celebration of the present and a bold stride toward the future, a symphony of strength played by generations of pioneering women. Even in the nation’s infancy, women were more than silent partners. Think of Abigail Adams, whose letters to her husband John were a masterclass in political philosophy, demanding, “Remember the ladies.” While not holding formal office, she shaped the discourse and demanded inclusion. As the frontier expanded, women like Sacagawea guided expeditions, their knowledge and resilience paving the way for westward expansion. As industry boomed, women like Madam C.J. Walker, a self-made millionaire, revolutionized the beauty industry, building an empire and empowering countless others. The 20th century roared with the voices of women refusing to be silenced. From Amelia Earhart, soaring across the Atlantic, defying gravity and societal expectations, to Katherine Johnson, whose calculations propelled astronauts into space, their contributions were astronomical. Women shattered glass ceilings in every field, from medicine and law to arts and sciences. In the business world, women have always been innovators. Estée Lauder, with her simple creams and unwavering vision, built a cosmetics empire that defined an era. Mary Kay Ash, with her "golden rule" philosophy, created a direct sales giant, empowering women to achieve financial independence. And today, women like Sara Blakely, with her revolutionary Spanx, demonstrate that entrepreneurial spirit knows no gender. Their words echo with timeless wisdom:"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any." - Alice Walker"You must do the things you think you cannot do." - Eleanor Roosevelt"The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me." - Ayn Rand“Don’t be intimidated by what you don’t know. That can be your greatest strength and ensure that you do things differently from everyone else.” - Sara Blakely "If you're offered a seat on a rocket ship, don't ask what seat! Just get on." - Sheryl SandbergTo the girls of today, the future architects of our nation, take these words to heart. Embrace your curiosity, cultivate your resilience, and never underestimate your potential. Dare to dream big, to challenge the status quo, and to forge your own path. Find mentors who inspire you, build a network of support, and never stop learning. Your voice matters, your ideas are valuable, and your contributions are essential.This Women's History Month, let us celebrate the legacy of those who came before us, and let us empower the women of today to create a future where every girl has the opportunity to shine. The symphony of strength continues, and its most beautiful melodies are yet to be written. Listen here for all of this and more on The Brett Winterble Show!

Plastic and paper waste from product packaging remains an environmental crisis, with millions of tons of packaging ending up in landfills and the ocean every year. Despite growing consumer demand for sustainable alternatives, many companies still struggle to balance eco-responsible packaging with cost, performance, and branding needs. Discover the challenges and opportunities shaping sustainable packaging alternatives with Elizabeth Corbett, President of Enterprise Sales at AE Global, a leading packaging maker. Elizabeth helps brands in the cannabis, health & beauty, and consumer goods industries transition to packaging solutions that are both smarter and greener. With over 25 years of experience, she has developed growth strategies and designed sustainable packaging for some of the world's most iconic brands, including Estée Lauder, Starbucks' Teavana, and Tiffany & Co. Elizabeth argues that businesses don't have to choose between aesthetics, functionality, and environmental responsibility—they can have it all. She also works closely with the Ocean Recovery Group, a pioneering initiative dedicated to collecting, cleaning, and recycling ocean-bound plastics to turn waste into valuable materials in an increasingly closed loop that can eventually eliminate plastic pollution. We'll also discuss innovations in reusable, recyclable, and compostable packaging and how brands can achieve sustainability without sacrificing cost-effectiveness. Elizabeth suggests the best way to get sustainable packaging widely adopted is to establish rules that require post-consumer materials be used in new packaging. She points to New York's post-consumer recycled paper bag requirements that changed design decisions for brands across the country. New York, California, Florida, or Texas, four big markets from which no national brand can afford to be absent, could transform the national packaging scene. Join the conversation for a discussion about extended producer responsibility, America's fragmented, fractured recycling infrastructure, and the benefits brands can enjoy when they lead the way toward green packaging.

It's Thursday, March 13th, 2025. This is Nelson John, let's get started. 1. Saudi's Riyadh Air Eyes India for Expansion Riyadh Air, Saudi Arabia's new airline, sees India as a key market, with CEO Tony Douglas calling it “super important.” Set to begin operations this year, the airline is in early talks with Air India and IndiGo for potential partnerships. Riyadh Air plans to connect Saudi Arabia to over 100 destinations by 2030 and has already partnered with Singapore Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Virgin Atlantic, and Delta. With a fleet of Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners and Airbus A321 neos, the airline is tapping into India's booming aviation market, where Indians form the second-largest expat group in Saudi Arabia. Notably, 16% of Riyadh Air's staff are Indian. 2. Estée Lauder, DPIIT to Boost India's Beauty Startups India's beauty and personal care startups are set for a major push as the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) partners with US cosmetics giant Estée Lauder. Through its BEAUTY&YOU India initiative, the collaboration will offer funding, mentorship, and global industry access, with a special focus on women-led startups. India's beauty market is expected to grow from $7.43 billion in 2025 to $9.69 billion by 2034. “This is a first-of-its-kind initiative,” said Sanjiv, Joint Secretary, DPIIT. With India boasting the world's third-largest startup ecosystem, this partnership could drive innovation and scaling opportunities for beauty entrepreneurs. 3. India's IT Stocks Plunge Amid Growth Concerns India's top IT firms—TCS, Infosys, HCL Tech, Wipro, and Tech Mahindra—saw their stocks fall up to 4.28%, erasing ₹75,414 crore in market value. Brokerages Morgan Stanley, Kotak Institutional Equities, and Motilal Oswal flagged concerns over sluggish IT spending recovery in FY26-27. High interest rates, geopolitical tensions, and vendor consolidation are slowing discretionary tech spending. “We see a transition phase where IT spending is reprioritized, moderating growth,” noted Morgan Stanley analysts. Despite these headwinds, Nasscom projects the IT industry to cross $300 billion by March 2026, implying 6.2% annual growth, though analysts remain skeptical. 4. Gold's Surge Raises India's Sovereign Gold Bond Liabilities As gold prices soar and equities struggle, the Indian government faces rising liabilities on its Sovereign Gold Bond (SGB) scheme, which ties payouts to gold's market price. Gold has outperformed equities since 2015, rising 3.46 times its value, while Nifty 50 has declined. ₹2.39 trillion has already been paid under gold-related schemes since 2017, with another ₹1.4 trillion budgeted for 2024-26. With 132,000 kg of gold equivalent set for payout between 2025 and 2032, a prolonged gold rally could strain government finances, making this a key issue for policymakers and investors. 5. Wendy's, Rebel Foods to Open 500 Locations in India by 2028 Rebel Foods will invest ₹100-150 crore to expand Wendy's footprint in India, targeting 500 locations by 2028. The expansion leans heavily on cloud kitchens, which will account for 70% of new openings. Currently, Wendy's operates in 200 locations, with 185 cloud kitchens and 15 offline stores. India's quick-service restaurant (QSR) market is growing at a 23% CAGR, but profitability remains challenging due to inflation and competition. Rebel Foods CEO Ankush Grover expects the IPL season to boost sales. Rebel Foods, which runs over 450 cloud kitchens across India, the Middle East, and the UK, recently raised $210 million from Temasek to fuel expansion.
Most people hear "Estée Lauder" and think of cosmetics—lipstick, perfume, face cream. But the real story isn't just about makeup—it's about a woman being an unstoppable force. Estée Lauder didn't just build a beauty brand; she rewrote the rules of an industry. She turned rejection into fuel, defied industry gatekeepers, and transformed a homemade face cream into a multi-billion-dollar global powerhouse. When department stores refused to stock her products, she created a demand they couldn't ignore. When experts said women wouldn't spend $115 on face cream, she proved them wrong. When competitors copied her formulas, she didn't fight them—she outmaneuvered them. Her real genius wasn't in chemistry, but in understanding human psychology, persistence, and the power of storytelling. This is the story of Estée Lauder. Make sure to stick around at the end for my reflections and thoughts. This episode is for informational purposes only and is based on Estée Lauder's incredible 1985 autobiography Estée: A Success Story.

Denise Giosa: A Journey in Fashion and Events Denise Giosa's journey in the world of fashion and events began while she was still in high school, when she joined the Junior Fashion Board at D.H. Holmes in Baton Rouge. It was during this time that she met Beth Phillips, a wonderful mentor who played a significant role in shaping her career. Recognizing Denise's potential, Beth invited her to be the Youth Coordinator, marking the beginning of her involvement in fashion special events. After college, Denise moved to Lafayette and began traveling for Estée Lauder. It wasn't long before she received a call from the manager of the Lafayette D.H. Holmes store, offering her a job. She accepted and continued working with the company for five years, further establishing herself in the industry. Her career took another turn when Mark Falgout of Warehouse 535 reached out to her. Originally envisioned as a live music venue, Warehouse 535, located at 535 Garfield Street in the Freetown neighborhood near downtown, has evolved into a multi-purpose event space. Over time, it has expanded beyond live music to host a variety of events, and Denise has played a crucial role in that transformation. Guiding Clients in Event Planning Denise takes a structured approach to helping clients determine their event needs. Before a client even books a date, she ensures they go through a detailed planning process. She asks key questions such as the date, type of event, expected size, and any special requirements. She also helps them visualize how the space will be used, ensuring that all elements—such as a photo booth or seating arrangements—are carefully considered. Her meticulous attention to detail means that by the time an event day arrives, she has already coordinated all aspects. She knows every vendor, delivery time, and setup detail, ensuring that clients never have to scramble at the last minute. Her hands-on approach means that every table, chair, and decoration is in place before the event begins, allowing clients to enjoy their special day stress-free. Additional Services and Wedding Planning Warehouse 535 offers comprehensive event services as part of the venue rental. However, additional services, such as hiring a wedding planner, are to be handled by the client. Some clients choose to bring in a planner midway through the process or hire a "day-of" coordinator to handle last-minute details. Denise ensures that clients understand what each wedding planner offers, as different planners provide different levels of service. She also educates clients on the finer details of event planning. For instance, if a couple is handling their own décor, she ensures they have a plan for setup. She also helps them clarify their expectations with vendors, such as ensuring photographers are booked for the right amount of time so they capture key moments, including the end of the event. Catering, Beverages, and Entertainment Warehouse 535 has certain requirements for event vendors. Caterers must be licensed and insured, and all beverages are provided through the venue. Clients can choose from various beverage packages, ranging from domestic beer and wine to premium selections. Entertainment is another major consideration. Some couples prefer DJs over bands because they want to curate their own playlists, while others love the energy of live music. Denise emphasizes that entertainment is key to keeping an event's momentum going, and she ensures that DJs and bands are properly set up and integrated into the event timeline. The Evolution of Warehouse 535 Denise has witnessed the growth of Warehouse 535 firsthand. What started as a music venue has expanded to host diverse events, including weddings, corporate functions, and creative experiences like an Edgar Allan Poe-themed speakeasy. The venue has also served as a filming location for shows like Dateline, with production teams transforming rooms to suit their needs. ...

Episode Notes On this week's episode of Orange Juice Optional: Just realizing that they almost forgot to mention Valentine's Day, Michelle asks Suzanne some love related questions. Seemingly annoyed that Michelle remembered this day, Suzanne does her best to answer her. Of course, she'll answer these questions only as Suzanne can - direct and straightforward. Towards the end of this episode, the ladies talk about the aging process. This conversation was inspired by a Today Show interview with Paulina Porizkova. While both ladies have some important takeaways from the interview, Michelle realizes that she still has some self-accepting to do when it comes to aging gracefully. These two topics and some general chitchat will bring this episode to a close. However, before their final ‘cheers', Michelle will share this week's ‘Something to Sip on'. OJO's 'Something to Sip on' is always a featured quote intended to inspire reflection and continued contemplation. Until next week everyone stay authentic to who you are! Cheers!!

But what makes the brand stand out isn't just its product offerings—it's the magic woven into every store visit, online interaction, and shopping experience.

In today's business world, uncertainty is no longer the exception—it's the rule. The speed of technological advancements, shifting workforce dynamics, and ever-changing market conditions demand that organizations become more agile than ever before. But here's the challenge: Traditional workplace learning simply can't keep up. The way companies have trained employees for decades—through structured courses, one-size-fits-all programs, and annual training sessions—no longer matches the pace of real-world change. That's where AI-augmented learning comes in. In this episode, Dr. Bray dives deep into new research from MIT Sloan Management Review and Boston Consulting Group, which reveals that companies integrating AI into their learning processes—what the study calls Augmented Learners—are significantly better at navigating disruption. These organizations are 1.6 times more prepared to handle workforce, technological, and market shifts compared to companies that still rely on traditional learning models. But what does that mean in practice? It means companies that harness AI for learning can identify skill gaps before they become problems, provide employees with real-time knowledge on demand, and create adaptable teams that thrive in uncertainty. Imagine a workplace where learning happens in the moment—not after the fact. Instead of waiting for a scheduled training session, employees can access AI-driven coaching tailored to their roles, helping them solve challenges in real time. AI can analyze market trends and predict which skills will be needed in the future, giving companies a strategic advantage in workforce development. Even better, AI-powered tools ensure that when employees leave, their institutional knowledge doesn't walk out the door with them. In an era of high turnover and talent shortages, this capability is a game-changer for HR, leadership development, and long-term business strategy. This shift isn't just theoretical. Companies like Estée Lauder are already using AI to track real-time consumer trends, allowing them to pivot their strategies instantly and maintain a competitive edge. Leaders in change management and HR are leveraging AI to personalize learning pathways for employees, making professional development more effective and engaging. For executives and strategists, AI is breaking down knowledge silos and enabling better decision-making through smarter insights. The bottom line? AI-driven learning isn't just a nice-to-have—it's quickly becoming the deciding factor between companies that thrive and those that fall behind. If you're in HR, business strategy, innovation, or change management, this episode is a must-listen. AI is no longer just about automation—it's about enhancing human learning and decision-making at every level. Tune in now to discover how AI-powered learning is shaping the future of work—and what your organization needs to do to stay ahead. QUOTES BY DR. BRAY "The ability to learn faster and smarter, both as an individual and as an organization, is what separates businesses that thrive from those that struggle." "Speed equals survival.” "Adaptability and continuous learning are the new currency of success in a rapidly evolving world."

Katrina, a Northwestern alum, shares her career journey from consulting at BCG to various roles in the beauty industry, including a long tenure at Estée Lauder and her current role at Wella. She discusses her passion for problem-solving, her transition from consulting to corporate strategy, and her interest in the emotionally driven beauty industry. Transcript: Smera: Okay. Welcome to the Weinberg in the World Podcast, where we bring stories of interdisciplinary thinking in today's complex world. My name is Smera Dwivedi, and I'm your student host of this special episode of the podcast. I'm a second-year student studying chemistry on the pre-medical path, and today I'm excited to be speaking with Ms. Katrina Gentile who is the VP and head of global strategy at Wella Company. Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with me today. Katrina: Oh, it's my pleasure. Happy to be here. Smera: To start off with today, I would just like you to go ahead and introduce yourself. Katrina: So, hi. I'm Katrina Gentile. I am a proud Northwestern alum. I graduated class of 2008. I have spent my career in various business fields. I was an econ and math double major at Northwestern, and I started my career in consulting at BCG right out of undergrad. After that, I've spent the rest of my career in the beauty industry, so from consulting, went to Estée Lauder in a corporate strategy role for two years, and then after that, spent about eight years operating at Estée Lauder. In between, I got my MBA. And after Estée Lauder, spent a couple of years in startup land at a couple of indie brands in the beauty space before joining Wella at the beginning of this year as the head of strategy. So really thrilled to be a part of the Wella Company journey. It's a long history, a 140-year company, but only four years as an independent company so we're trying to figure out not just, we're grown up, but we're still trying to figure out what we want to be when we grow up, and that's a large part of my role. That's me personally. I have a mom, I have two little kids, six and three, and most of my free time is with them on whatever it is they want to do. Smera: That's adorable. So how did you end up picking Wella or end up being where you are now? Katrina: Well, where I am now is a bigger question than Wella. Maybe I'll start with the bigger question and then get to Wella. I ended up where I am now for two reasons. One, I've always loved solving problems. I remember doing word searches as a kid, math books, and it sounds corny, but it was always something like puzzles and games and crosswords and things like that was just always something that kept my mind busy. And that's actually what really led me to consulting because consulting is all about solving problems for companies. And I truly believe BCG is the best job, first job for any person. And not just BCG, but consulting in general. I had a really incredible formative experience there. I use those skills every day, not just in this role, but in every role I've had. And I ended up using that BCG platform to go to Estée Lauder and start in corporate strategy and then ultimately operate. Beauty has always been something I've been interested in personally as a consumer, but more because I find beauty to be a very emotionally driven category, and it's about making someone feel good, and I love that. I love that about what I do. And so when the opportunity arose to go to Estée Lauder, I jumped at it and I had a very long career at Estée Lauder that really brought me to Wella. And I think doing my detour in startup land, Wella is a happy medium, and that's why I joined the company. I'm excited about this role and continue to be excited about this role. We are a mid-sized, I would say, company. We're not as big as Estée Lauder, but we're not as small as a startup. We're somewhere in the middle and we're trying to establish what the future looks like for our company. Right now we're owned by a private equity firm called KKR. And KKR doesn't want to own us forever. No private equity wants to own any asset forever. So it's a really exciting journey to say, "Okay, what does our company look like in a post-KKR world? What do we want to be? How do we want to establish ourselves? What capabilities do we need to build to get there?" And from a strategy perspective, for someone like me who likes solving problems, there's a lot of them to solve. So that's been the common thread in my career, and that's ultimately what brought me to Wella company. Smera: Got you. Okay, that makes sense solving problems. How did you end up deciding on Wella, or how did you find BCG or Estée Lauder as a position or a company that you could be a part of? Katrina: So look, it was very different in my day when I went to Northwestern. I understand now that people apply for summer internships a long time before the internship happened. When I was in college, that was not a thing. So I remember going through recruiting for my BCG summer internship through campus recruiting. I think I went through it in January and my summer started in June. It was not a long gap, and I found it just by knowing that consulting was of interest and going to the campus recruiting sessions and signing up for the campus interviews and then doing a campus interview. So it was a very straightforward path for me at BCG. And from BCG, again, I am going to date myself here, but finding my first job at Estée Lauder was just a, it was a very similar process. Lauder posted a job on BCG's job board. I applied for it, and I interviewed for it. But in a lot of ways, I think things are more difficult today. I mean, I watch people going through consulting interview processes, and I hear people talking about how much farther in advance it is and how fewer spots there are, or I guess more people applying for more spots so the take rate is lower. So I fully recognize that my journey is a little bit different, but that was my path, at least to BCG and Lauder. From Lauder, it's been much more about my network. And that's one piece of advice that I really give to everybody is this concept of a network seems so theoretical, I think, and it did to me too, until you have to use it. And when I left Estée Lauder and was looking for what I wanted to do next, I was senior enough in my career that it was no longer like a job gets posted, you apply for it and you get interview and you get it. A lot of these, especially in beauty and especially in some of these industries that are a little more tight-knit, a lot of positions aren't posted. A lot of positions are done through someone who knows someone who knows someone or private equity companies who have this network of executives that they place in roles. And what I found actually is that when I left Estée Lauder, both of the startups I worked for were people I'd worked for at Estée Lauder or worked with at Estée Lauder, worked alongside at Estée Lauder who were looking for someone, and neither of the jobs I had were posted publicly. They were both word of mouth through my network that I ended up working there. And Wella was similar. So my old boss at Lauder is now at KKR who owns Wella Company, and she introduced me to my now boss at Wella. So all of that to say, I think I can't stress enough how every person you interact with may come back somewhere. Just today I was talking to our new head of HR, and it turns out she's also a Northwestern alum and we overlapped when we were there. And it's really crazy how we didn't know each other at Northwestern, but it's really crazy how small the world is and so my best advice to people is it's never too soon to start making genuine connections. It's never too soon to start engaging with people and asking them what they're interested in and talking to them about what you're interested in because you never know when it'll come back and when you'll be looking for something or someone that they might have something or someone for. Smera: Right. Okay, this makes sense. So you said your advice is to expand your network, make sure you are networking. What's the best way you can ensure you're doing that because it's nice to say, but that putting it into- Katrina: You know what? I don't actually actively network. I don't go to networking events. Well, I guess sometimes I do, but always because I'm genuinely interested in the event, not because I want to broaden my network. My network has been built by genuinely engaging with people that I meet and I work with. So I didn't go to a networking event and meet people, though I know that that is a viable way. I'm a little bit of an introvert in some ways, and I'm not very good in those situations where I don't know anyone and I'm like, it's hard for me to find my way. I actually find I do best just by talking to people in confined settings that I know. So every job, every internship I've had, I've really stayed in touch with people, even if it's just quick emails or texts or following them on Instagram and DM-ing them sometimes. And to me, that feels much more authentic. It's something that I do because I choose to, not because I have any sort of motive. And what I realized when I was looking to leave Lauder and then when I was looking for this new role at Wella about a year ago, is that even people that I hadn't done that or spoken to or texted with in the last three or four years, because I had genuinely invested them in them at the time that I worked with them, when I reached back out of the blue, they were always willing to help, always willing to answer an email, always willing to answer a call. And a couple of those people ended up helping me find really meaningful opportunities. And I had an advisory role at a company that came to me through someone that I worked with at BCG who I haven't spoken to probably since 2012, 2013. But because I reached out to her with a question on something else, she was like, "Oh, hey, actually there's something that maybe you could be interested in," and she followed up. So it's about figuring out what works for you. Somebody who's really outgoing and has no social anxiety or anything might like going to networking events. For me personally, I prefer the one-on-one connections, and I just encourage people to do what feels genuine to them because other people can tell when it's not authentic, right? Smera: Got it, understood. It's good advice that I will have to take part of. So with all your roles and your career, what's something you wish you did differently or regret or wish you took a different approach in? Katrina: That's a great question. I think everybody needs to trust their gut and not what somebody else defines for you as you should do for your career or should be a path for your career. For me personally, I went and worked in a couple of startups, and I think I knew to be honest with you in my gut that startup life wasn't necessarily for me. I think I knew that I preferred the security and the safety of a big company, but everybody in my business school class was going to startups and so I was like, yeah, I should do that too. I learned a ton. I mean, it was probably the biggest two-year learning experience in my life, but it wasn't for me and I think I knew that at the beginning, but I felt like that's what an HBS grad should do so that's what I did. And at the end, it ended up being two years that it could have been better served somewhere else for me, if I'm honest. So I think trusting your gut is a big thing, knowing what works for you personally and not being swayed is a big thing. And I would say the other thing is, at least when I graduated, and I don't know how it is today, there was a lot of pressure to have a very linear path. Like you did two years in consulting, then you went to HBS, then you did this, then you did that, then you did this, and I had that mindset for myself to be a CEO someday that this is what I had to do and it was very linear. And I realized, somebody said to me a couple years ago when I was not super happy in startups that if you look at people with linear career paths, they're usually pretty boring careers, and that has stuck with me since someone that advice was given to me because at the end of the day, I want to do work that I feel happy doing and that has meaning. Smera: Right. Katrina: And yeah, I don't think that doing something linearly always gets you there. Smera: Understood. I think in undergrad especially, it's easier to think of your future career as being pretty linear, but it's usually not going to be like that, so that's great to hear. That's very reassuring. Okay, so you said you started BCG with a career fair of some sort at Northwestern? Katrina: Yeah, they did a campus recruiting event. Smera: Okay, okay. Did you ever look into anything else other than BCG? Katrina: Well, I applied to all the consulting firms. Smera: [inaudible 00:13:07]. Katrina: BCG, Bain, McKinsey, there were some others I applied to at the time. But I had done a summer in investment banking my sophomore year summer, and then I applied to BCG in consulting for my junior year summer. Smera: Okay. Katrina: I was super fortunate that I hadn't offered to go back to Citigroup my junior year summer, so I worked there as a sophomore. They had a sophomore program at that time, and they made me an offer to come back as an IB intern my junior summer. So I was very lucky in the sense that I had a fallback that was very, very good, and I didn't do a lot of summer recruiting, but I was very lucky to get an internship at BCG. And then I came back to BCG full-time after I graduated. Smera: Got you. And so then when you started college, did you know you wanted to go into consulting or investment banking of some sort? Katrina: Yes and no. I knew I was interested in business, so I knew that I wanted to study economics. I tested that hypothesis a little bit, but I thought that's what I wanted to study. I didn't know what that would mean. And I think a lot of eighteen-year-olds don't, quite honestly. Other than people who say with confidence that they want to be pre-med or that they want to be a very specialized field, I think a lot of people, at least in my experience, were exploring at that time. So I think that there was, I sort of knew, but not really. I didn't know what it would look like. That really was crystallized for me when I did my summer in banking, which I took it as I have this cool opportunity, let me just try it out. And the summer prior, I had worked in city government in Boston where I'm from in the Economic Development Council Office. And so I knew a little bit about what public service could look like or government could look like, and then I figured I'd go the extreme other direction in banking and consulting actually was somewhere in the middle. Smera: Understood. Actually just speaking of your time in undergrad, do you remember what was probably the hardest thing to understand as an undergrad or hardest class or something social that was just difficult to overcome or to deal with? Katrina: Say it one more time. I'm not sure I followed the question. Smera: Well, when you were in undergrad, what would be the hardest thing you faced that was aside from just academics? Katrina: Oh, in undergrad, that's a great question. I think, and look, I acknowledge that this is a very privileged thing to be able to say, but I don't think I struggled with too much in undergrad only in the sense that I found my group at Northwestern, my people really early, and I think that that is something that I don't undervalue. I was very fortunate. I lived in Allison Hall and my freshman year roommate is still my best friend to this day. My kids call her Auntie Janelle. She is fantastic. And I lived down the hall from a group of individuals, four or five guys, and Janelle and I just became super close, and they're still, all of them are still in my life today. And that group really got me through Northwestern. So no matter what I was struggling with, no matter what I faced, I had this close group of six or seven people that I leaned on. And it wasn't to say that I had a easy-breezy ride. There were definitely drama moments and things that I didn't do as well as I wanted to do, but if I really take a step back and look at it, I don't feel like there was something where I would say, "Yeah, I really had a tough time with that particular thing," right? Smera: Right. Katrina: It was more just there was the initial adjustment to college and then making sure I stayed on top of my grades and stayed on top of the extracurriculars and all of those sorts of things. But truly for me, the people that came out of Northwestern really helped me through a lot of it. So, yeah. Smera: That's good to know. And it's good to know that you're still friends with her. That's- Katrina: Oh yeah, and not just her. I mean, all of them are still in my life. One of my friends has three children, two of them are about the same age as two of my kids, and they come once a year and spend a weekend with us in New York. We go and see them in Massachusetts a lot. These are lifelong people for me, and I can't stress enough how grateful I am to Northwestern for giving me that community. Smera: That makes sense. Then speaking of your friends, how often do you, you just mentioned you ran into a Northwestern alum in your company and you guys actually overlapped. How often does that happen? Katrina: Somewhat frequently, I would say. As much as you'd think. I think the community of Northwestern and New York community is maybe a little bit less concentrated, and then Northwestern and New York and beauty community is maybe a little less concentrated. There were definitely a couple of us in my class at business school and every so often there's so-and-so who knows so-and-so who knows so-and-so. But I think that the people that I've stayed in touch with from Northwestern are the ones, and that are in my life from Northwestern, are the ones that I knew in college. There have been a couple new ones, but maybe not as often as you'd think, at least in my particular city industry combo. Smera: That's wonderful to know. You said not very much in New York. Would you ever consider going back to Boston? Katrina: That's a loaded question. If my parents are watching this, absolutely because they still live there. No, honestly, the answer is probably no, unless there was some real reason for it. I love New York City. I live in Brooklyn and Park Slope. I love Park Slope. My kids love it here. My husband's very happy here. I don't see any world that we leave before our kids go to college, and then when I leave, I'm not going somewhere cold. Smera: Makes sense. That makes a lot of sense. Do you think the alumni community is bigger in Boston or in New York? Katrina: Probably in New York, but I think in Chicago is where it's probably most prominent. Smera: Right, it's going to be the most concentrated. Katrina: The other thing I would say is just for me also because I did go to graduate school, I have two alumni communities. And the HBS community is very, very strong here in New York so that might be a part of it too for me is just having those two different elements. Smera: That makes sense. That makes a lot of sense. So what kind of skills or habits did you pick up on, or talents did you pick up on that have helped you in your career? Like stuff you learned at whether it was BCG that's helped you now, at Wella or even other types of skills or talents or abilities? Katrina: I would say that the biggest capability build I had was at BCG. And I'll tell you that the couple of things that I still carry with me from my BCG days because I believe that they are the reason I've been able to make it this far. Number one is a really robust analytical toolkit, so being able to work quickly in Excel. Some of that is just I am a mathematical person by nature, I was a math major, but I can build models, I can use Excel. I'm not the best, but I can do well enough to get me through, and that I think if number one. Number two is the ability to learn quickly. It's something that when you're a consultant is really important because you're not on a client project for two years. You're on a client project sometimes as short as six weeks, and you need to be able to learn that client's business and speak about it with confidence really, really fast. So the first week of any client engagement, you are really learning that client's business. And if on week two you're expected to know at least the industry and the category and the dynamics. And so the ability to learn and digest information quickly is something that in every job I've had since BCG has been called out as one of my strengths, and I really attribute that to BCG. The third thing is the ability to see both big and small. And it's another thing that when I look at folks, especially in beauty who have grown up in beauty, a lot of times it's really hard for them to step back and see the bigger picture. And that's something that consulting really teaches you from a very, very junior age or a junior tenure that I think has helped me tremendously. The ability to take a step back and say, okay, what is the actual story here? What is actually going on? Distill a complex problem, make it seem simple, and then really walk through the action items that could get us to where we need to be. I would say the last thing is the confidence to work with senior people, even when you're junior, to speak up to express your mind in a way that is not arrogant, that's not seen as overstepping, but that's additive and that shows it really is inquisitive and adds value. So those are the things I would say I learned at BCG. Smera: Okay, and then similarly, I'm not as familiar with the field of consulting. I've always been in the medical path. What's a big misconception people have about the field or the people or the work? Katrina: I mean, I think all those consulting movies are actually a misconception. There is some element of you come in, you tell people what to do and you leave. That is sort of true. You don't actually do it yourself. There is a little bit of truth to it, but I think that consultants really can be thought partners if business leaders let them be. And I do believe that people who have a couple of years of consulting experience can go and do, not everything, we can't go be a doctor, but learning how to tackle a problem and learning how to learn quickly can allow you to be successful in a range of jobs beyond being a consultant. Smera: Right. And so similarly, it feels like you have a lot of skills and abilities that you were able to pick up through this career, but how does that help you balance between your personal interests? Like you said, you're a mother, you have two kids. How are you balancing that with your lifestyle? Katrina: There is no balance. There is no balance. There's only trying, right? Smera: Okay. Katrina: And I think that I tell myself all the time that there will be a day that my kids don't want to sit down and have dinner with me, but right now they do and I need to take advantage of that. And I think 80% of balance is mental. 80% of it is acknowledging that you won't be able to do something for work because you're going to do something for your kids and making that choice and being okay with making that choice and letting it go. And that's taken me a long time to figure that out. My daughter is almost seven, and I think I'm just now figuring it out. And I'll probably keep figuring it out as she gets older, my older one. But I think if we strive for balance, we'll never get there. We just have to strive for doing our best and acknowledge that our best will never be good enough on everything and that's okay, as long as it's good enough on some things at the right times. Smera: Exactly. And then when it's not good enough, how do you stay motivated? How do you [inaudible 00:24:15]? Katrina: I had a boss once who whenever she would see someone starting a spiral, she'd start singing, "Let it Go" from Frozen, just break out in song and just start singing it. And I hear her singing in my head sometimes when I start to get myself down a path like that and I just let it go. I have to force myself to let it go. You have to because otherwise the anxiety will drive you crazy. No one person can do it all. This concept of having it all, you can have it all at the right times and different times, but I have yet, at least anyway, to meet anyone who has it all in that very traditional excels in all areas at all times in all ways concept. You can excel in some areas. I can excel at work this year, and maybe next year I'll excel at my family life and do okay at work, but it's hard to keep every ball equally high in the air at all times. I personally haven't found the solution. If you do, you let me know. Smera: Oh, no. Especially I feel like going to Northwestern, it seems like everybody's at there all at all times and that's just not true, so it's definitely good advice. And then speaking up, how do you determine whether you take a risk or you play it safe in something like your career? Katrina: I don't think you can determine each. You got to trust your gut. Smera: Right, okay. Katrina: You got to trust your gut. You got to know. I always ask myself what's the worst thing that can happen? I get fired and I find another job. What's the worst thing that happen if the company goes under? I find another job. What's the worst thing that can happen? I've been sharing a lot of past boss anecdotes. Another one, I had a past boss who used to say, "It's just lipstick. We just sell lipstick. We don't cure cancer." And I think the perspective is important. What is truly the worst thing that could happen? If this decision that I'm making fails, we sell a little less lipstick, we'll probably still be okay. So I think that it's just about, it's not easy. I'm making light of what is a very difficult thing because I too can second guess every decision I make all the time, but I think over time I've just had to force myself to just make a call and trust my gut. Smera: Well, that's really good advice. And then speaking of what's a time where you might've not done as well as you'd liked or you failed at something and how did you grow from it if it was something like that? Katrina: I mean, look, there are tons of times I can point to where I haven't done as well as I'd hoped, and I said it, nobody's perfect. Nobody excels all the time. I think one that comes to mind is I can't, obviously confidentiality I can't go into too many details, but the startups I worked at, neither one of them flew off the shelves. There were times where we had launches that didn't work. There were times where the business was struggling. There were times, and I think that's part of being a startup. That's part of working at a small company that doesn't do billions of dollars or even hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue. There are things that you do that don't work. I think what I have to remind myself in those moments is this is how companies are built. This is how people are built. This is how people learn. This is how people grow. No company, no person, no project hits it out of the park every time. And it's about what you do with the learning rather than being perfect at all times. Because if you're perfect at all times, you never learn. You just keep doing the same thing. So I think that's the mindset you have to have. To me it's all mental and it's all what you make of it, and it's all how you take that learning and don't do it again and use it to do something else that's even better that's important. Smera: For sure. So to close us off because I don't want the Zoom to cut me off, but just to close us off, what is the best piece of general advice you could give to somebody in your position? Katrina: In my position or at Northwestern? Smera: I mean, both. Let's say both. Katrina: Okay. So if I were talking to current students, my best advice is don't do the thing that you think you're supposed to do. Do the thing that you think you'll be good at. Smera: Okay. Katrina: And I think I see too many people saying, "Well, I'm supposed to do X. I should do Y. My parents think I should do Z. I always wanted to do X, so I'm going to do it." That's a recipe in my opinion, for being unhappy in whatever it is you choose to do. You spend more time at work than you do with your family. You spend more years working than you do in school. Pick the thing that's really you're going to enjoy and that makes you happy and do it. And if you don't want to do X, Y, and Z, don't do it just because your parents think you should, or your friends or your career counselor or your teacher or your brother or whomever. It's not just parents. It's any number of people. So that's my best advice to students. I would say to people in my position or who are looking to do what I do or who are mid to later in their careers, the advice I give is the advice I gave earlier, which is don't underestimate the power of talking to people and building genuine relationships with people because you never know when someone's going to need someone like you. And if they don't think of you or they think of you in a negative light, that won't be you. So that's the advice that I would give to people. Smera: Definitely heavy on the first one. My parents pushed me towards a medical path. I wasn't sure if I wanted to so we'll see how that ends up being. Katrina: Look, it's a long life. It's a long life. Whatever you choose, you're going to keep doing it and you got to love it, especially medicine. My sister and brother-in-law are both doctors, and I see it firsthand. You've really got to love it. Smera: You have to love it, for sure. And the second one, for sure. Just don't burn bridges, I guess. Katrina: It's not just that. It's not just don't burn bridges. It's really truly invest in people because you want to. Smera: That makes sense. Okay, thank you so much for speaking with us. Katrina: My pleasure. It was lovely getting to know you. Smera: It was wonderful getting to know you too. Thank you for listening to this special episode of Weinberg in the World Podcast. We hope you have a great day, and go Cats.

Send us a textThis week, a journey through the bonkers world of financial markets, absurd cultural phenomena, and personal reflections from the splendid shores of St. Barts.A Brief Memoir MomentI share a childhood anecdote about an imaginary kangaroo in my parents' wardrobe, a metaphor for life's absurdities and the early seeds of my contrarian mindset. From tales of youthful rebellion to the consequences of throwing stones at buses, I paint a vivid picture of life lessons learned the hard way and before the internet..The Week in MarketsI dive into the paradox of December markets:- Winners Ride High: Stocks like Nvidia continue their wild run, even as tech giants like Apple remain geopolitical pawns in the US-China game, the market cocks-a-snoop: Warren Who?- The Madness of MicroStrategy: Michael Saylor's strategy of leveraging meme stock madness to buy Bitcoin? Genius or depravity? I call it capitalism at its most unhinged.- Retail Phenomena: Ulta Beauty's rise as the "crown jewel of vanity" and Estée Lauder's fall from grace become metaphors for the insecurity-driven consumer economy and a stock market seeking unattainable perfection.Macro MusingsI connect the dots between today's financial euphoria and the late 1920s:- Foreign capital is flooding into US markets, fueling asset inflation and American exceptionalism.- AI dominance, bolstered by the US tech ecosystem, is likened to the golden age of the 1920s.- I critique the global disarray, from Europe's leaderless states to China's economic skids, and I hail America's continued structural advantage.Cultural HighlightsFrom Charles Aznavour's La Bohème to Nekfeu's Plume, I try weave some French musical genius into my narrative, underscoring the importance of art and reflection amidst financial madness.Closing ThoughtsSo keep tuning in for more acid insights, market musings, and the occasional existential riff. Because, together, unified, we've got the power.Hugh⬇️ Subscribe on Patreon or Substack for full episodes ⬇️https://www.patreon.com/HughHendryhttps://hughhendry.substack.comhttps://www.instagram.com/hughhendryofficialhttps://blancbleustbarts.comhttps://www.instagram.com/blancbleuofficial⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Leave a five star review and comment on Apple Podcasts!

In this epiosde, Scott Becker dives into a challenging day in the markets, with significant declines across major stocks like Uber, Estée Lauder, Roku, and Microsoft. From tech to consumer giants, it's a difficult day for investors as drops span multiple sectors.
Katie Jane Hughes is a world-renowned makeup artist, content creator, and founder of the beauty brand KJH Brand. Hughes originally trained as a nail technician and worked for several years in London as an in-demand nail tech for runway shows, editorials, and red carpet events. But she knew that her true passion was makeup, so she eventually quit doing nails and moved to New York City, throwing herself into the makeup world. During this time, she also started posting tutorials and looks on Instagram and, eventually, TikTok—a decision that's paid off, as she now has over one million followers between the two platforms. Fans were drawn to her sense of humor, her impeccable technique, and her down-to-earth, no-BS approach to makeup. Last year, after years of working with brands like Glossier and Estée Lauder, Hughes launched her own makeup line, KJH Brand, which focuses on multiuse, flexible products that anyone can use. The brand followed up its first smash-hit release, the Hyper Shine High Lite Kit, with its newest product, the Soft Smudge Lip and Cheek Stick, released this October.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
