In Part 2 of Chalene Johnson's origin story, things get heavier, messier, and way more revealing. This episode dives into the moment money stopped being abstract and became emotional, personal, and tied to identity at a very young age. From carrying financial responsibility as a kid, to learning how praise, hustle, and ego quietly fused together, this episode explains how independence can become both a superpower and a trap. What starts as resourcefulness turns into pressure, risk, betrayal, and a series of decisions that shaped how Chalene viewed work, worth, and safety long before fame or fitness. And just when everything finally seems to be clicking into place, the story cuts off right as Bret enters the picture and the real complications begin. This is Part 2 of Chalene's origin story. Make sure you're subscribed and watch for Part 3, because the cliffhanger is very real.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Michele Henry, founder and CEO of FACE FOUNDRIÉ, to explore how the facial industry is being quietly—but fundamentally—rewritten. What began as a personal frustration became a scalable solution: professional skincare that's consistent, accessible, and designed for real life, not just special occasions.After her third child, Michele found herself stuck between facials that were either overly luxurious, prohibitively expensive, or wildly inconsistent. She wanted results, education, and efficiency—without the intimidation. When that middle ground didn't exist, she built it. FACE FOUNDRIÉ's facial-bar model challenged long-standing spa norms by focusing exclusively on high-quality facial services delivered quickly, clearly, and consistently.A central theme of the conversation is accessibility. Michele rejects the idea that skincare should feel exclusive or confusing. Transparent pricing and monthly memberships make frequency possible—and frequency, she explains, is what actually drives results. Prestige may impress, but approachability scales.Behind the scenes, FACE FOUNDRIÉ's real innovation is operational. Standardized protocols ensure clients receive the same experience across locations, while personalization comes through targeted enhancements layered on top—not improvisation. Technology tracks treatments and progress, reinforcing consistency as a clinical standard.The episode also tackles a common misconception: that advanced at-home products can replace professional care. Michele makes the case that treatments and products work best together—services like dermaplaning, peels, and extractions create the conditions for skincare to truly perform.At its core, FACE FOUNDRIÉ is about emotional safety as much as skin health. Clients choose how they want to experience their facial—quiet or educational—in spaces designed to feel welcoming, not intimidating.Listen to the full episode to hear how Michele Henry is redefining professional skincare—making results-driven facials scalable, sustainable, and built for everyday life.Learn more about Face Foundarié on their website and social media!CHAPTERS:(0:02) - Introduction & Face Foundrie Overview(0:59) - Michele's Personal Journey & The Origin Story(2:16) - Reimagining the Facial Bar Model(3:23) - Early Trial, Error & Rapid Pivot(5:26) - Accessibility, Memberships & Breaking Prestige Barriers(7:16) - Results-Driven Protocols vs Luxury Spa Experiences(8:23) - Consistency, Personalization & Scalable Systems(10:26) - Franchising Face Foundrie & National Growth(13:35) - Technology, AI & The Future of Skin Care ExperiencesPlease 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.

Show Notes: Isa D'Elia, co-founder of GoalBridge, an AI startup in stealth mode opens the conversation with a brief overview of her background, mentioning she was at Amazon for five years and her co-founder, Vedant, was a software engineer at a financial institution in India. The Origin Story of GoalBridge Isa met her business partner in Berkeley Haas Business school. Through many discussions, they identified a problem in the consulting industry where consultants spent too much time on admin and manual work. They saw an opportunity to use AI to automate these tasks, leading to the creation of GoalBridge. Isa describes how they started working on GoalBridge, entering accelerators, and doing pivots. GoalBridge Iterations They found a design partner who needed a solution to discover their work within SharePoint, Google Drive, CRM, and email. GoalBridge's first iteration was a search AI agent that taps into various platforms to understand the context of engagements. The tool is called "building the brain of a firm" and has been tested with clients, leading to the development of additional agents. Isa introduces the first agent they built, a proposal building agent, which focuses on storyboarding proposals. Dealing with Non-billable Work Streams Consultants often complain about the tediousness of writing proposals, which are non-billable work streams. The agent helps create cohesive stories for proposals by using information from various sources and allowing iterations. They have a roadmap of additional agents to help consultants focus on strategy work rather than manual tasks. GoalBridge's Ideal Customer Profile When asked about the ideal customer profile for GoalBridge, Isa confirms they are targeting SMBs and tier two consulting firms, as larger firms have the resources to build their own tools. Currently, they have signed letters of intent with larger firms, indicating interest in their solution. The tool is designed to help consultants tap into strategy more effectively by automating manual tasks. Goalbridge's Access to Data The conversation turns to the limitations of GoalBridge in terms of access to data. Isa explains that the tool only accesses data that the user has access to, such as their email and specific folders in Google Drive or SharePoint. The tool acts as an AI agent that can quickly scan and understand the context of the data the user has access to. She talks about the challenges of accessing data that is not organized in SharePoint or Google Drive, such as emails. AI Agent that Writes Case Studies and Compendiums Isa introduces the project closeout agent, which helps partners extract and share information, write case studies and compendiums for projects. The agent anonymizes data and creates a cohesive story from various sources, including emails. This agent addresses the issue of knowledge management being left to good intentions and helps capture project context. The closeout agent can also be used for older projects. Demonstrating GoalBridge Isa shows the tool's interface, which includes a project creation feature, a chat dialog box for queries, and a files tab for uploading documents.   The tool can tap into various platforms like SharePoint, Google Drive, and CRM systems, with current integrations for HubSpot and Salesforce. They talk about the tool's ability to find examples of old projects and provide feedback on proposals. Isa explains the limitations of GoalBridge in terms of access to data. The tool only accesses data that the user has access to, such as their email and specific folders in Google Drive or SharePoint. The tool acts as an AI agent that can quickly scan and understand the context of the data the user has access to. She also talks about the challenges of accessing data that is not organized in SharePoint or Google Drive, such as emails. Primary Use Cases for GoalBridge Isa outlines the primary use cases for GoalBridge, including partners finding examples of old projects, engagement managers leveraging formatting, and associates copying slides. They discuss the potential for the tool to create PowerPoint presentations and provide feedback on them. Isa mentions future agents in the roadmap, such as a case study writing agent and a pricing strategy agent. The tool is designed to help consultants at all levels by automating manual tasks and improving the quality of their work. Security Concerns and Data Privacy On the issue of security and data privacy when giving external firms access to sensitive data, Isa explains that they have a separate server hosting client data, ensuring it is secure and not accessible by other clients. They are working on SOC 2 certification to further assure clients of their security measures. The tool does not train on client data, ensuring IP is protected and not used for other purposes. When it comes to pricing, Isa mentions their willingness to discuss pricing on a case-by-case basis.

I was staring out the window and it was a foggy evening. And I wondered, we’re all asleep at night. And I was wondering, what happens at night? The coyotes are howling and no one is walking about. What really is going on? So I imagined in my own mind a short story evolving… I had something. Maybe four or five pages. And I showed it to Michelle. And she said, Jeez, Dad, it’s kind of an interesting story. Have you ever considered writing it into a novel? And I thought, well, I never gave it any thought. But now that you mention it, it might be a good idea.” – Neil On Intergenerational Collaboration “So this isn’t the first time we had worked together. We did work together professionally in commercial real estate, but this was the first time we had worked together on a creative project, more of a passion project. And what really struck me was how much we both loved writing and creativity. My dad had written things, as I mentioned, I have written things, but we’d never worked on something collaboratively together. So this to me was really surprising because it was so much fun.  And had I known it would be this much fun, I would have suggested something sooner. The work in this case is the fun. And another point in a professional setting, especially in real estate, my dad was the mentor and I was the mentee. Whereas this was new, this is new for both of us. The editing process, the literary world is a new discovery, which is fun equally on both sides. No one is the expert in this case. We’re learning together, which I found was really refreshing.” – Michelle On Transferable Skills “I found the process of writing a novel to be very similar to what I did for a living for about 50 years. Earlier on, as we were getting ready to build something, we would hire an architect, we would hire designers and planners and tradesmen. And I found myself ironically finding the same in script writers and editors and influencers that came to the party as well. And I found that writing a novel and building a building were very, very similar. And one of the characteristics in real estate development is the attitude of patience.” – Neil

Because that's where the magic happens: at the intersection of the story, the listener, and the teller's voice with its cadence, tone, inflection, repetition, pacing, and energy.So much gets lost in translation to the printed page. What we yearn for without even knowing it is human connection. My clients learn how to connect with their stories and with themselves to be in better service to their purpose.Question: What would you like to learn about the power of story?

In this episode, we sit down with the brilliant Anouska Bhattacharya, VP of Programs at YW Boston, for a conversation that somehow ties together the imperialist history of the gin and tonic, the absolute barbarism of mammograms, and the future of equity work in a post-DEI world.Anouska shares her origin story as a "recovering academic" who traded the ivory tower for community organizing, and explains how her neurobiology background helps her understand why systems can, and must, be unlearned. We get into how DEI work is evolving (spoiler: call it civility, call it employee engagement, the work continues), what it means to find joy as fuel for sustainability, and why she's currently tap dancing in her Watertown basement while performing in a burlesque reimagining of the Nutcracker.Plus: ice shipped from Massachusetts to India, dense breasts, and a love story between Pluto and its moon. You know, the usual.
