The makeup artist and entrepreneur is known for creating makeup geared toward mature women. 

Kate met Laura through her friend QVC host Sandra Bennett. Laura Geller is the founder of Laura Geller Make-up Studios and Laura Geller Beauty. While working as a makeup artist in television, film, and theater in New York City in the 1990s, her clients encouraged her to open a makeup studio. She became known for her wearable looks and magnetic personality–two talents that made her a resounding success on air at QVC. For example, in 1997, the first product from her eponymous makeup line–a highlight and contour kit–sold out in minutes. A few years later, Laura Geller Beauty's award-winning Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer was born. Two decades later, it remains a cult favorite. Laura discusses how her parents influenced her career, the women in beauty who have inspired her most, and the best life lessons.

BURN PITS EXTENSION - Veterans with health problems from exposure to toxic burn pits now have more time to file for their benefits. Late last night, the VA announced it would extend the deadline for vets to apply for what's called PACT Act benefits and get those benefits backdated to the day the President signed the bill last year. That means former service members won't be leaving money they earned on the table. It comes as President Biden is set to speak in Utah today on the one-year anniversary of signing this bill into law. It was the largest expansion of benefits and services for toxic exposed veterans and survivors in over 30 years. The VA made the move after technical problems with the filing site and long wait times at VA call centers. We'll explain the details and what those who served need to know to get their money and healthcare.

BACK TO SCHOOL WARNING - Your kids are preparing to head back to school soon – you already have a lot of preparation to do. Now, the Better Business Bureau wants you to keep some safety messages in mind as you ready your family for the first day. The number one message surrounds online safety – this is a generation of kids who grew up on the Internet and don't think twice about it. The BBB says it is crucial to remind students about protecting themselves and their personal information online. That's up to parents and family members, as well – we've all seen those back to school photos with the chalkboard that lists “Buddy's first day in Miss. So and So's class” – it usually has your kid's name, their school, their teacher – and many other bits of personal information that could be used in ways you're not intending. Experts are also warning about cons involving “homework helpers,” where children have been extorted. We'll go over the scams and the tips to keep in mind.

The Better Business Bureau is putting out a new warning for anyone looking for a job. It has seen a huge uptick in the amount of money people are losing in employment search scams. In the first three months of the year, losses reported to the BBB hit almost a million dollars – the total is up over 250% compared to the same time period last year. It comes as many people are hoping to continue remote work – scammers are trying to take advantage. The median loss per person is $1,500 – which is a lot of money, especially if you're already out of a job. We'll explain what the scams are and some red flags people should be looking for.

Rich talks with Laura about the secret documents found at Biden's home and the ongoing investigation.

Veteran suicide numbers are dropping, but Veterans Affairs officials say it's still not good enough. The latest data from the VA shows about 17 veterans died by suicide every day in 2020. That is the lowest rate since 2016. Every service member's story is unique – why they joined, what they've seen – but if you talk to enough of them, there are parts that start to sound familiar. Many of them struggle with the mental and emotional toll of serving their country. We sat down with veterans and VA officials to talk about what can be done to save the lives of those who serve.

Laura looks at the negotiated hostage trade that returned Brittney Griner to the US. Critics argue that the trade should have included Paul Whalen as well, after 4 years in Russian custody.

This weekend starts what the Department of Veterans Affairs is calling the “PACT Act week of action.” It stems from legislation the President signed in August, which gives benefits to service members who are suffering after exposure to toxic burn pits. There are an estimated 3.5 million people impacted. VAs across the country will hold events to educate vets about the claims process. We sit down with VA officials to find out what they're doing to make sure those who served get the benefits they earned.

Laura reports on the latest challenges to President Biden's student loan forgiveness program. SCOTUS has agreed to hear the case during its winter session.

Laura reports on the latest developments between congress and the railroad unions. A legislative measure to prevent a rail strike has been approved by the House, including a significant wage increase and, in a separate vote, increased paid sick leave time for rail employees. Not all rail unions are satisfied, though, and certain Republican critics believe President Biden should have resolved this without congressional involvement. The bill still needs approval in the Senate. Experts fear a rail strike would have immediate and severe impact on food and materials delivery, in addition to its retail holiday consequences.

Congress is set to take action this morning to help the country avoid a devastating rail workers strike. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says her chamber could vote as early as 9:30am (ET) on the tentative agreement. A rail strike would impact people across the country – from food and gas prices, to holiday shopping and travel costs, shoppers and businesses are hoping the deal goes through. We break down the deal, Congressional action and what it means for you at home.

Laura reports that the Senate is expected to approve legislation protecting same sex and interracial marriages, with a surprising degree of bipartisan support.

You're going to be inspired when you hear why Laura chose her career and why she made helping women look and feel beautiful her life's work. Find out why, for Laura, makeup is about empowerment. The beauty and cosmetics industry has always used young models and celebrities in their brand images and promotions.

It was a great business decision, and the proof is the incredible growth of the Laura Geller brand. I love that the women on her website and marketing are beautiful and relatable. Laura and I both lost our moms last year and it was lovely to be able to talk about a few of our favorite memories.

Elana Drell- Szyfer, CEO of ReVive Skincare, and Algenist and This Works board member joined me on the Reboot Chronicles to dive into what's happening in the beauty industry. A Startup Journey ReVive Skincare was founded in 1997 by Dr. Gregory Brown, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon who crafted the luxury skincare company. Before its founding, Brown spent most of his time dedicated to researching how to accelerate the healing process of burns on people's skin. During the span of his research, he discovered restorative benefits to speed up healing damaged skin. Building on that research Brown built a solid foundation creating specially formulated products that rejuvenate customers changing skin behaviors. Elena calls it the “twenty-three-year-old startup” , because during its lifespan the company has been owned by Amway, while I was on their venture board, acquired by Shiseido and then acquired by private equity firm Tengram Capital Partners. Corporates To Startups With a long corporate career, Elena decided to make the switch to working with startups. Like me, she found that she really enjoys the challenge of working on startups. She worked with L'Oreal, Avon, Estee Lauder, and spent some time with Kenneth Cole. Before joining ReVive, she also worked with Laura Geller, where she learned the ropes. In 2017, Elena joined ReVive Skincare, taking on the role of CEO, where she rebooted the company instilling a strong sense of company culture, while keeping true to the company's roots. For those of weighing the pros and cons of corporates vs. startups, remember to look for what will keep you professionally sustained and stimulated—while you balance Fun-Money-Purpose. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rebootchronicles/message

Aging Well Takes Skill Wise retirement planning transcends your 401k. The transition to retirement is one of the most significant experiences you’ll encounter in your lifetime. And it’s increasingly being recognized as a new and distinct phase of life. One that’s rich with possibilities for personal development, spiritual growth, learning, and wisdom. While people retire at different ages, what we all have in common is that we are all growing older. And it turns out that aging well takes a new skillset. In this episode of our retirement podcast, our guest is Rabbi Laura Geller, Rabbi Emerita of Temple Emanuel in Beverly Hills, California, a founder of ChaiVillageLA and co-author of the new book, Getting Good at Getting Older. She was the third woman in the Reform Movement to become a rabbi and among the first to be selected to lead a major metropolitan synagogue. We talk with Rabbi Geller about: Why she and her late husband decided to write the new book Getting Good at Getting Older If wisdom comes with age How we can cultivate wisdom (and as she recommends – a heart of wisdom) in the second half of life Why creating the right mindset and attitude about retirement is so important Spirituality and inner life in the second half of life The benefits of embracing lifelong learning and aging well What people who thrive in retirement do differently from those who struggle with the transition to retirement Where to begin if you want to get good at getting older __________________________ Bio Rabbi Laura Geller, Emerita Rabbi of Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills, was the first woman to be selected through a national search to lead a major metropolitan synagogue as Senior Rabbi. She was twice named one of Newsweek’s 50 Most Influential Rabbis in America and was featured in the PBS documentary “Jewish Americans.” Author of numerous articles in books and journals, she was on the editorial board of The Torah: A Women’s Commentary. She is a Fellow of the Corporation of Brown University from where she graduated in 1971. Ordained by Hebrew Union College in 1976, she is the third woman in the Reform Movement to become a rabbi. She is a Rabbinic Fellow of the Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, a mentor in the Clergy Leadership Initiative, a facilitator in the Formation Project of On Being, and a member of the Board of The Jewish Women’s Archive. She is a founder of the first synagogue-based village, ChaiVillageLA, which is part of the national Village Movement. She is co-author with her late husband Richard Siegel, co-author of The Jewish Catalog(1973), of Getting Good at Getting Older. __________________________ Wise Quotes  On Wisdom “It’s very important to acknowledge that it’s hard to have a lot of wisdom when you’re young. But as you say, getting older doesn’t mean that you’re necessarily wise. So, the activity of acquiring wisdom is a practice many of us prepare when we’re younger for our retirement. We need also to prepare for our spiritual work of this second stage of our life. And part of it, I think is really paying attention to what it means to be wise. What does it mean to pay attention to the opportunities that exist that this stage of our life and what are the practices that can help us do that? So, in our book, we speak about meditation, we talk about journaling, we talk about pilgrimage as opposed to travel. It’s one thing to take a trip. It’s another thing to experience that trip as a pilgrimage, a journey that will help us discover not only our roots but also what’s really important to us. It takes a focus on lifelong learning. We continue to learn and gain wisdom through the notion that when you stop learning, you start dying.”   On Intergenerational Relationships “One of the things that we learned in working on our book is one of the secrets of getting good at getting older is cultivating friends across generation, younger friends, and actually older friends as well.”

Rabbi Laura Geller, Rabbi Emerita of Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills, presented her lecture "Wise Aging: Getting Good at Getting Older" at Valley Beit Midrash's opening event in Oct. 2018. ABOUT THIS LECTURE: Occasionally, we meet an older person we admire and think: “I want to be like her when I grow up. I want to be wise, joyful, grateful, compassionate, patient, funny, curious, optimistic!” As Estelle Reiner said in the classic deli scene from When Harry Met Sally: “I want what she’s having.” The question for us as we get older is: what do I need to do now to become the eighty-five-year-old I someday hope to be? What work do I have to do now to acquire a heart of wisdom? This Valley Beit Midrash lecture took place before an audience at Temple Chai (www.templechai.com/) in Phoenix, AZ.

On the 20th anniversary of her brand, I sat down with makeup icon and entrepreneur, Laura Geller. We discussed everything from her start in the business, to the philosophy behind her line, product creation and distribution, customer education, and even parenting. Though Laura got her start working as a theatrical makeup artist, she built her brand around teaching Upper East Side woman how to do their own makeup and find their own beauty. Her storefront transcended a beauty studio to become a local hangout. Laura took this love of educating her customer to QVC, and her business has been growing ever since. “My path wasn’t something that was plotted out, but more based on the demand of what people were asking for.” -Laura Geller Topics: Laura’s early experiences working in Film, TV, and Theater The philosophy of the Laura Geller makeup brand On creating your own products The big thing that changed her brand forever Different ways to reach/educate customers QVC Being a mother and a thriving beauty icon
