Starr Blackshere is a powerhouse in the beauty industry, a visionary artist whose journey from childhood fascination to professional mastery is nothing short of inspiring. With an innate eye for detail and an unwavering commitment to excellence, Starr has transformed her passion for beauty into a thriving career that spans hair, makeup, and the intricate art of brow design. Born and raised in San Diego, California, Starr's journey into beauty began at an early age, influenced by the dazzling world of pageantry. Her curiosity and natural talent led her to refine her skills in hair styling and makeup artistry long before she stepped into the professional space. By her teenage years, she was already styling hair for friends and adult clients alike, demonstrating an unparalleled dedication to her craft. Her career took a transformative turn when she joined MAC Cosmetics - a brand that not only shaped her technical expertise but also introduced her to the world of high fashion, editorial artistry, and corporate professionalism. She became a key figure in the industry, opening MAC's first Harlem store and later working in the elite Flatiron District showroom, where she collaborated with some of the most influential names in beauty and fashion. Working alongside legends such as Charlotte Tilbury and Pat McGrath at New York Fashion Week refined her artistry and deepened her passion for creating beauty that transcends trends. While her expertise spans multiple disciplines, Starr found her true calling in brow artistry. Her innovative approach to eyebrows goes beyond shaping - she sees brows as an expression of identity, confidence, and self-assurance. Through years of refining her technique, she has mastered nano artistry, a cutting-edge approach to permanent makeup that enhances natural beauty with precision and elegance. Her philosophy is simple yet profound: beauty should complement, not overpower. Her work is celebrated for its ability to bring out the best in each individual, seamlessly blending artistry with authenticity. In 2021, Starr took a bold step in her journey and founded Blackshere Beauty, a premier beauty studio dedicated to offering top-tier services in makeup, lashes, and brows.   She believes that creativity thrives in an environment of passion and fulfillment, and she instills this philosophy into every aspect of her work. For Starr, success isn't measured solely by accolades or financial milestones - it's found in the joy of creating, the confidence of her clients, and the lasting impact of her artistry. Through her journey, she has proven that with dedication, adaptability, and a fearless pursuit of passion, the possibilities are limitless.    Key Takeaways 1. Find Your Niche and Own It – Starr explored multiple areas of beauty before discovering her true passion for brow artistry. Your journey may take different paths, but once you find your calling, commit to mastering it. 2. Stay Open to Learning and Evolving – From hair to makeup to brows, Starr constantly refined her skills by seeking new knowledge. Growth comes from embracing change and staying curious about your craft. 3. Step Outside Your Comfort Zone – Moving from San Diego to New York City and stepping into high-profile roles wasn't easy, but Star took the leap. If you want to elevate your career, be willing to take bold steps. 4. Persistence Opens Doors – Starr's journey to MAC wasn't guaranteed, but she prepared, strategized, and positioned herself for success. Keep showing up, refining your skills, and opportunities will follow. 5. Attention to Detail Sets You Apart – Whether it's shaping brows or enhancing a face with makeup, Starr's precision and artistry have made her stand out. The little details can make a big impact in your work. 6. Confidence and Professionalism Are Key – Breaking into new spaces requires more than just talent. Starr's ability to present herself professionally and articulate her expertise helped her grow in the industry. 7. Protect Your Joy and Passion – Success isn't just about money or accolades; it's about finding joy in your work. Starr believes that happiness fuels creativity, and staying passionate is the ultimate key to long-term success.    Quotes 1. “Success as a creative isn't about how much money you make or how many jobs you have - it's about protecting your joy. When you find joy in your craft, creativity flows effortlessly.” 2. “Your journey will have twists and turns, but every experience, good or bad, teaches you something valuable. Stay open, stay learning, and keep evolving.” 3. “Confidence comes from preparation. If you want an opportunity, do the work, sharpen your skills, and show up ready. When the door opens, you'll be prepared to walk through it.” 4. “Excellence is in the details. Whether it's brows, makeup, or business. Refining the small things sets you apart and turns good work into great work.” Connect with Starr Website -  www.Blacksherebeauty.com Instagram -  Instagram.com/Blacksherebeauty Facebook -   Facebook.Com/Blacksherebeautyllc Email - Starr.blackshere@gmail.Com

As we've discussed a lot on this show, a story is many things at once. But a story does not exist without a storyteller. Today's episode is about the stories we tell ourselves, about ourselves, that in turn, define who we are.   How we show up in the world has a big influence on whether the world hears us. And if they can't hear us, how could we possibly make them care? Put differently, the stories we tell ourselves have a direct influence on the ideas that live in the world. Each of us, every day, in our own way, tell the world if we matter, and together, we shape a collective narrative of what matters. What would happen if we did that more consciously?    Samara Bay believes that how we share our vision matters as much as what it is. She's actively redefining what power and authority sound like, teaching people how to use their voice to move their audience & change the world. In addition to coaching television & film actors, she's prepped clients for Broadway & LA theater, UN speeches, televised award show presentations, academic talks, tech pitches, and political ads. She also runs trainings and delivers keynotes across industries including for Women @Google, MAC Cosmetics, SXSW, Telemundo, Warner Brothers Discovery, Princeton University, Compass, and Emerge America. She's a professor of practice at USC's Annenberg School of Communication and Journalism.   Samara is also the author of a fantastic book and podcast by the same name, Permission to Speak: How to Change What Power Sounds Like, Starting With You. It's a #1 bestseller in Women & Business and Public Speaking and the perfect holiday gift!    In this episode, our host, Maya Guice, sits down with Samara Bay to explore how traditional perceptions of authoritative voices influence our communication, the ways our voice stories shape the narratives we share, her personal journey writing Permission to Speak, and practical tools we can all use to cultivate a voice that feels both authentic and powerful.   Ultimately, this episode is meant to be a holiday gift to you—an audience of amazing, creative, intelligent people. If the sound of your voice is the only thing holding you back, we hope this episode causes you to share your story in 2025.    For more information about Samara, connect with her: https://bit.ly/3OT3zHf    To purchase Permission to Speak: How to Change What Power Sounds Like, Starting With You, visit: https://bit.ly/4g8SIES    For more information about BRC Imagination Arts, visit: www.brcweb.com

Since its inception in 1998, they have represented hundreds of clients in a wide range of varying industries in all 50 states.Anthony started his career painting houses during college, he unexpectedly caught the attention of a Project Manager at a Discovery Zone, where his exceptional efficiency and craftsmanship as a painter stood out. This led to a remarkable opportunities. Anthony and his team revolutionized the construction timeline for Discovery Zone playgrounds, reducing it to an impressive duration of just under seven days. He leveraged his expertise to excel at Boston Chicken (now known as Boston Market), Einstein Bagels, Au Bon Pain, and Panera Bread. In each case, his outstanding performance resulted in him essentially working himself out of a job. This inspired the conception of an outsourced construction management group, which gave birth to CDO Group. With a prestigious client roster including Hampton Inn & Suites, McDonald's, Starbucks, TGI Friday's, Kate Spade, Gap, Mac Cosmetics, Ann Taylor, and Dunkin' Brands, it's evident why CDO Group became a highly sought-after company. Anthony's authentic enthusiasm for construction, innovative concepts, empowering individuals, and the constant pursuit of personal growth has captivated me, and I believe it will have the same effect on you. If you aspire to break through the glass ceiling that's hindering your progress, this episode is for you.Support the showFollow me on Facebook ⬇️https://www.facebook.com/manuj.aggarwal❤️ ID - Manuj Aggarwal■ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/manujaggarwal/ ■ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/realmanuj■ Instagram: ...
