Running two beauty businesses without outside funding is no small feat, but Maria Hatzistefanis, founder and CEO of Rodial and Nip+Fab, is making it work. And her businesses are thriving. Hatzistefanis launched the luxury skin-care and makeup brand Rodial in 1999, after being fired from her investment banking job in her early 20s. She went on to launch Nip+Fab in 2010. Now best known for its bestselling Glycolic Fix product range, Nip+Fab was originally meant to be Rodial's more accessible, mass-market little sister. "My idea [for both brands] was to come up with products that would give you instant and long-term results," Hatzistefanis told Glossy. "I had a passion for researching ingredients that no one else was using." Today, both Rodial and Nip+Fab are sold in over 10,000 stores across 35 countries. Rodial is distributed in luxury department stores, including Harrods, Selfridges and Blue Mercury, while Nip+Fab is available at Boots and JCPenney. "We have been growing double-digits year-over-year, for both brands," Hatzistefanis said. "Plus, profitability has been a driver of our business, and we've always been profitable." On this week's episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, Hatzistefanis discussed the ins and outs of running a business for over 25 years and the next stage of growth for Rodial Group.

Maria Hatzistefanis is one of the beauty industry's best known and most admired entrepreneurs. She began her career in corporate finance and realising quickly that wasn't for her, founded her ground-breaking beauty brand Rodial in 1999, having identified the need for products that focused on results and which tackled specific skin concerns. Maria started the brand from scratch, visiting trade shows to find formulators and packaging suppliers and even manning her own department, or rather shelf, in the first store to take her brand on in the early days, Fenwick of Bond Street. Unusually, Rodial is still an independent brand giving Maria the freedom to operate and expand the business in a manner that feels authentic to her as an entrepreneur. Maria talks to Lauretta Roberts, Editor in Chief, of TheIndustry.fashion about those early days, how the beauty market has evolved in the past 20 years, how she and Rodial fared during the pandemic and what her ambitions are for the future. 

Episode 39 - Busting The Overnight Success Myth with Maria Hatzistefanis Welcome to Building a Bigger Table The podcast for misfits, mavericks and magic makers who want to create a profitable, sustainable business that makes as much impact as it does income.    In This Episode:   Welcome to episode 39 of the Building a Bigger Table. I have a fantastic guest for you in the form of Maria Hatzistefanis a.k.a. Mrs Rodial. She is the owner/founder of Rodial and Nip+Fab, author of How to Be an Overnight Success, and has another book on the way titled How to Live Your Best Life.   I was first introduced to Maria over on Clubhouse and was drawn to her because of the many similarities in our stories, particularly to do with how hard we've worked to get to where we are today. I really believe that right now many people aren't sharing the reality of what it's like to run a business - and I think if more people were more honest, it would help others be inspired to keep going when the going gets tough.   In this episode, Maria tells us how her career got started and how being fired from her job in finance inspired her to start her own business. She lets us in on all of the obstacles she's experienced along the way - including almost having to declare bankruptcy 3 years ago. Today, that business has a turnover of £25m, stocked in 3000 stores worldwide, and has been endorsed by celebrities such as Kylie Jenner … so if anyone knows about the extreme ups and downs of being a business owner, it's Maria.   We also talk about when you should trust your gut over your team, when (and when not!) to take risks, the importance of creating positive connections with others, and why pursuing success at all costs is a recipe for failure. Maria is a big believer that things happen at the right time, and that a delay doesn't have to equal a denial. If you're looking for motivation to keep going in your entrepreneurial journey, you're in for a treat with this one! Key Takeaways: Don't wait for permission   People like to do business with people they like   Sanity metrics over vanity metrics   Don't let ego get in the way Quotes: “There wasn't a plan. I didn't know what I was doing, I was just cruising through life and jobs and seeing where one thing would take me, and you know just exploring everything that was available to me.” “It wasn't even about the money at the beginning [when we weren't] able to secure funding and I had to find a way to finance myself. It was also the fact I didn't get validation for my idea because getting that funding means that someone believes in you, to the point that. They're investing in your business.” “I have changed a lot as a business owner and as a leader. I used to micromanage everything at the beginning and get stressed about every single detail and that wasn't good for me or my team. And over the years I've mellowed down a lot and I'm more about leading the vision and letting everyone run their work, their department, their side of the business, and then we all get together.”     Meet Your Host: Hi, I'm Shaa. I've been called a serial entrepreneur … but I've never been one for labels! I've done SO many things in my career, including starting and scaling multiple 7 figure businesses, and am grateful for being recognised with some lovely awards - most proudly, an MBE from The Queen “for Services to Business and Entrepreneurship”. I've been featured in major publications for my efforts (named one of the UK's Top 20 Most Influential Entrepreneurs by The Sunday Times and one of the ‘Most Influential Women in the UK" by the Institute of Directors), and have written 4 straight-talking, bestselling books; Stop Talking, Start Doing; Stop Talking, Start Doing Action Book, Do Less, Get More; and most recently, How To Fix Your Sh*t.   Where To Find Shaa: Website - https://www.shaa.com/quizfunnel Facebook - https://en-gb.facebook.com/shaawasmund/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/shaawasmund/ Clubhouse - @Shaa   Where To Find Maria: Website - https://www.rodial.co.uk Facebook - https://en-gb.facebook.com/rodialbeauty/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mrsrodial Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/overnightsuccess.club Clubhouse - @mrsrodial See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to Episode #346: with Maria Hatzistefanis, Founder of the ground-breaking skincare group, Rodial. During this episode, we talk about expanding your business in international markets. Here's some highlights: Expanding your business to international market needs to have the right infrastructure and resources. When you want to market internationally, remember that different parts of the world has different preference. You have to cater to the different needs of your different markets. It's good to hire locally to understand the market more - how consumer shops, how the store operates, what the customers wants and ask and how they shop differently.

It all started when she got fired.   A young girl growing up in a safe environment on a small Greek island, where her parents praised doing things safely and only chasing a job that was guaranteed to secure her future, Maria Hatzistefanis knew she wanted to impact others in a unique way.   Her childhood was never extravagant or luxurious. Her parents were teachers, and they all lived a very low-key and quiet lifestyle.   Then one day (in her 20s), something happened that took Maria off the “expected” path and thrust her into the entrepreneurial world unexpectedly…   She got fired from her first big job.   And she says it was the best thing that ever happened to her.   Maria decided to start her own business, Rodial, a potent and unique skincare brand (she even has a vegan line + uses a shocking special ingredient that mimics Botox)!   She is now a London-based entrepreneur, best-selling author, TV personality, and podcaster!   I was so thrilled when she agreed to be on the podcast. She talks about her life before she made it big, how she actually almost went bankrupt a few years ago, and she spills her dirty little skincare secrets (you will totally love these)!   She also gives the most epic advice for aspiring entrepreneurs that I LOVE.   You're going to flip over this interview! Don't forget to check out her amazing skincare line, linked below (I'm even buying some myself!)   Happy listening!

Markus Hippi and Fernando Augusto Pacheco present a selection of highlights from the past seven days on Monocle 24. This week: Sweden’s first state architect, Helena Bjarnegård; founder and CEO of skincare brand Rodial, Maria Hatzistefanis; and we take a culinary tour of one of south India’s most populous cities, Bangalore.

Maria Hatzistefanis is founder and CEO of Rodial, the skincare brand she launched in 1999 with a small investment. While raising a family and writing two books, Maria has managed the company’s expansion into 35 countries. Maria started as a beauty writer for ‘Seventeen’ magazine in her native Athens before studying business at Columbia in New York. But after a short career in finance, she saw a niche for targeted skincare products and created Rodial.

Today, I’m chatting with Maria Hatzistefanis, Founder & CEO of not one, but TWO incredibly successful beauty brands, Rodial and Nip + Fab. Both brands are celebrity faves and are sold at 20,000 sold across 35 countries. Celebs who have raved about her products include Kylie Jenner, Jessica Alba, and Sofia Richie, to name a few. On top of being the boss of a massive beauty empire, Maria’s extracurricular activities include being a Vogue/BFC Mentor, running her own social media accounts with over a million dedicated followers, and being a bestselling author. Her first book, How To Be An Overnight Success was a very real look into what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur, and stuffed with tips for people just starting out. And now, Maria’s releasing her second book, How To Make It Happen. Our conversation is a deep dive into what it’s like starting a beauty brand. Maria dishes the dirt on everything from having the idea, to finding the right manufacturer, to getting noticed by celebrities, to the tipping point. Maria also talks about her new book (which I am dying to read), her social media strategy, her beauty favourites and so much more. This episode is absolutely packed with advice and will surely be a source of inspiration to any and all entrepreneurs.

Launching a new beauty serum, Maria Hatzistefanis tried to work out how to make it exciting and stand out in a crowded market.  Studying the list of ingredients she discovered something which changed the direction of Rodial, the beauty business she had founded.

She did everything herself in the early days.  Since then the business has grown organically each year, with Rodial now sold in high-end department stores across the world.  Maria told me what prompted her to start the business, she gives advice to those considering launching a beauty business and explains why Estée Lauder is her business inspiration.  Behind The Balance Sheet is a business podcast, presented by Julie-Anna Needham.

Want to know the J-Lo- approved face mask? Listen on...Hello! I’m Brittany Stewart, beauty journalist and you are listening to another bonus Beauty Island episode of Five Favs.In the main episodes, as you might know by now, I sit down with an interesting guest to find out the eight beauty products they’d take with to a desert island, ones that aren’t necessarily practical but have special memories or meaning for them.I love hearing those picks for the nostalgic, personal and often very relatable stories behind them. But, I’ve had a few comments from you saying you’d also love to know the products that Beauty Island castaways are using on their faces now. So Five Favs was born, a bitesize episode where in a quickfire round I ask my guests about their five favourite beauty products from a specific category, like foundation or eye product. So yes, I really do read all your reviews and feedback!This time, it’s the best travel beauty tips and product recommendations from Maria Hatzistefanis, the founder of Rodial and Nip + Fab, the beauty brands beloved by everyone from Cameron Diaz and Ellie Goulding to Kylie Jenner. She’s also the author and podcast host of How To Be An Overnight Success.She talks the budget purple shampoo that gives her just-come-from the hairdresser worthy hair, and the Jennifer Lopez-approved mask she uses to rescue dull, jet-lagged skin.You can find me on Instagram @beautyislandpodcast and if you enjoyed this episode, I would love you to rate and review on Apple Podcasts.

What does it really take to be an overnight success? My guest today knows all too well.Welcome to Beauty Island, the beauty podcast that celebrates life and lipstick.I’m your host, beauty journalist, Brittany Stewart, and each episode I sit down with a guest to ask them about the 8 beauty products that have a special memory or meaning for them, that they’d take to a desert island, or Beauty Island, that I am sending them off too. Now this doesn’t necessarily mean practical products. Rather it’s the beauty products they’ve come across throughout their lives that carry significant stories or memories for them. Think the product that reminds them of their mum, the beauty product that defined their teens or the perfume that instantly sparks a memory of a special place or person.Along the way we find out more about their life, career and the people and events that have shaped them into who they are today.Today my guest is Maria Hatzistefanis. She’s the founder of Rodial and Nip + Fab, bestselling author of How To Be An Overnight Success, host of the fantastic podcast, Overnight Success, and her personal Instagram account has over one million followers. Her own overnight success has taken, well, many years. Being fired from her job in banking and financing turned out to be a blessing in disguise - it was the catalyst for founding high-end beauty brand Rodial, which counts Cameron Diaz, Emma Stone and Jennifer Lopez amongst it’s celebrity fans, and is now sold in 20,000 stores in 35 countries. But it took self-funding after she couldn’t get investment, five years of hustle, one big risk, and a bottle of snake serum to really take off. Nip + Fab gave Kylie Jenner her first beauty campaign - and the next year she went on to launch Kylie Cosmetics. Coincidence? You decide...We talk about her beginnings growing up on a remote Greek Island, the reality of being an overnight success, her incredibly honest advice on balancing being a parent and running a successful business that every parent needs to hear, the power of eyebrows and the $35 exfoliating face pads that will change your life - I can personally vouch for them too!I hope you enjoy.Follow Maria:Instagram: @mrsrodialBuy her bestselling book 'How To Be An Overnight Success'Listen to her podcast 'Overnight Success'.Shop Rodial: http://bit.ly/2XDXPoIShop Nip + Fab: http://bit.ly/2VCv0rgFollow host Brittany Stewart:Instagram: @brittanybeautybts @beautyislandpodcastEmail: beautyislandpodcast@gmail.comSubscribe to It's A Beauty!

This week's guest is Maria Hatzistefanis, beauty entrepreneur and founder of Rodial. Building up her business from nothing, after being fired from a job in finance, 19 years later, her skincare companies, Rodial, Nip and Fab and Nip and Man are worldwide brands, backed by the likes of Kylie Jenner. Basically, if you've got your own business - or are considering taking the plunge - you could do a lot worse than turn to Maria for advice. She gives advice on everything from 'having it all' to taking risks - and if, after listening, you want more advice, she has a book out, called How To Be an Overnight Success.

Are you thinking about starting your own business? What is the formula for success? How do you even start? Tune in as Maria Hatzistefanis, founder, and CEO, of skincare companies Rodial and Nip+Fab, shares her success story and lessons learned throughout her business journey. “Everyone is unique, and what you have, no one else has.” When Rodial launched their cult product, Snake Serum, the press quickly called the business an "overnight success." However, Maria had been toiling for 18 years, building the company from scratch in her bedroom. “You need to take risks in business and in life.” Born and raised in Greece, Maria was passionate about beauty from a very early age and worked as a beauty writer for Seventeen Magazine while she was in university. She knew early on that working in the beauty industry was something that she wanted to do in the future. Now, the beauty boss sets out to demonstrate how her success stemmed from sheer hard work, tireless efforts and a lot of patience. “In this business, you have good days and you have bad days.” Maria Hatzistefanis worked hard, surrounded herself with the best, created buzz, and built her own personal brand, and is now a favorite with high-profile models and media personalities including Poppy Delevingne, Daisy Lowe, Erin O'Connor, Jade Jagger, and Kylie Jenner. She believes anyone can do this and her new book, How to Be an Overnight Success, shows how. “There is not one person in this world who can do everything.” Check out the show notes.   Download your FREE guide: 6 Tools YouTubers Use to Get Thousands of Video Views   Don't forget to join the Beauty and the Vlog Facebook group for collaborations, YouTube advice, support and more!   You can also follow me on Instagram!

Ironically, it was getting fired from her previous job that pushed Maria Hatzistefanis into creating her own brand. Fast forward nearly two decades and the entrepreneur owns three beauty businesses – Nip + Fab, Nip + Man, and the bestselling Rodial – is an inspirational speaker, a bestselling author, and a Patron of the British Fashion Council. An Instagram star in her own right, Maria has won a legion of celebrity endorsers – including the oh-so influential Kardashian/Jenner clan.Maria has created some of the most blogged-about cult beauty products of the last decade, from her bestselling ‘Dragon’s Blood’ to ‘Snake Serum’ Rodial ranges, all the while still overseeing her three brands, which now have a presence in over 35 countries worldwide. Maria shares:Why getting fired can be a good thingThe importance of a business backgroundGetting your product into the hands of the right peopleHow social media can transform a brandExpanding your brand and team at the right paceFollow Maria: https://www.instagram.com/mrsrodial/?hl=enJoin SheerLuxe VIP: https://sheerluxevip.com/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Maria Hatzistefanis is such a beauty boss that she's created not one, but two, blockbuster beauty brands in less than 20 years. Also known as the street style-leaning Instagrammer @MrsRodial, her luxury line, Rodial, is known for its headline-grabbing ingredients like "snake serum." A unit of the brand's Dragon's Blood Sculpting Gel sells every minute around the globe; even Kate Moss is a super fan of the skincare and Kim Kardashian's makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic, @MakeupByMario is a fan of their makeup. Meanwhile,  Nip + Fab is like Rodial's kid sister brand—POW ingredients at drugstore prices (pssst... Kylie Jenner can't get enough). And in this episode, you'll hear the bombshell that's coming from Nip + Fab next. Plus, listen in on Maria's highs (landing said Jenner as the first face of Nip + Fab, a mentor spot on the Project Runway spinoff Fashion Startup) and lows (getting fired sucks, just ask Carlene, who overshares again in this episode) and how it takes both ups-and-downs to make for the damn good stories she's written about in her new book, How to Become an Overnight Success, available now on Kindle and Kobo.
