Before launching iNNBEAUTY Project, Alisa Metzger spent over a decade inside some of the world's biggest beauty companies—L'Oréal, Procter & Gamble, and Coty—learning exactly how the industry worked from the inside out. But after years of seeing the same patterns repeat—sky-high markups, confusing claims, and a lack of true transparency—she decided to build something different. Alongside her co-founder Jen Shane, Alisa created INNBeauty Project: a brand that delivers clinically effective, clean skincare without the luxury price tag.Vegan, cruelty-free, and fragrance-free, iNNBEAUTY was designed to be as inclusive as it is high-performance—bridging the gap between clean formulas and results-driven science. The brand's bright packaging and straightforward messaging cut through the noise, offering products that actually work and make you feel good using them. Today, iNNBEAUTY Project is one of the fastest-growing clean skincare brands in the U.S., with Alisa recently named to Inc.'s 2025 Female Founders 500 list. Under her leadership, INNBeauty continues to redefine what modern beauty looks like—smart, accessible, and radically transparent.In this episode, Alisa also discusses:How she's bridging the gap between efficacy and fun in skincareCreating formulas backed by clinical results, proven to perform at the highest levelWhy Extreme Cream rivals (and often beats) $300+ luxury moisturizersWhat it meant to be one of the first clean brands at Sephora to prioritize affordabilityHow they merge science-backed formulas with playful, dopamine-boosting packagingThe meticulous approach behind crafting products for all skin types, tones, and agesWhy building a brand takes time and why patience is keyWe hope you enjoy this episode and gain valuable insights into Alisa's journey and the growth of iNNBEAUTY Project.

Today on The Rock Fight, Colin digs into the question: what the hell is an “emerging brand” anyway?Joined by Emily Holland (Founded Outdoors) and Lloyd Vogel (Garage Grown Gear), the conversation talks about what life is really like for small outdoor businesses.Defining “Emerging”: Why the term is so fuzzy and whether it even matters.Founded Outdoors: How the organization is creating a free, vibrant community (and consulting arm) to support founders, minimize gatekeeping, and provide resources for early stage outdoor companies.Success & Failure: Why most small brands don't flame out dramatically, but quietly fade away and how expectations play a huge role.Product vs. Brand: The chicken-and-egg debate. Do you lead with killer gear, or build a story first?Why Small Brands Matter: Faster innovation, closer ties to real community needs, and local economic impact.They also debate whether the outdoor industry is too insular, how outside perspectives (Sephora anyone?) could add value, and why supporting small brands doesn't always mean paying a premium.Thanks for listening!

In this episode of Business Lunch, Roland Frasier and Ryan Deiss explain how the classic four-stage buying journey has collapsed into one moment—and why trust is the lid that keeps prospects “popping” in your pot. They unpack three forms of trust—Identity, Competence, and Proximity—with sharp wins and public flops (Nike, Sephora, Peloton, DSW, Starbucks, Apple, United). You'll get simple creative frameworks to turn short-form content into instant, in-channel conversions and a 14-day sprint to prove it on a small budget.Highlights“It's not a funnel anymore—it's a popcorn popper. Your audience are kernels heating at different speeds. Trust is the lid that keeps them popping for you.”“Competence trust means the brand ‘gets me'—often better than I can describe myself.”“Employees outperform celebrities for reach and credibility—because most buyers are employees.”“Frictionless is forgettable. Add desirable friction that helps buyers name their pain and act.”“If you can't pivot your model, bolt trust into your media: mirror-micro-media, why-what-where, people-place-proof.”Mentioned in This EpisodeThree Trust Types (MAP mnemonic):M – Identity trust: Mirror → Micro → MediaA – Competence trust: “Answer” with Why → What → WhereP – Proximity trust: People → Place → ProofCompetence wins & misses: Nike's “Why do it?” repositioning; Sephora tutorials lifting AOV; Peloton's 2019 holiday ad backlash.Proximity plays: DSW AR try-ons; Starbucks barista TikToks; Apple retail specialists; cautionary tale—United Airlines viral incidents.Localization tactics: regional currency/sites, geo-specific visuals (city skylines), and micro-influencers by market.KPI effects: higher AOV/retention/loyalty from competence; higher LTV from proximity; employee posts driving outsized reach.Timestamps00:00 – The collapsed customer journey: from funnel to popcorn popper (trust as the lid)04:00 – Recap: Identity trust (mirror, micro, media)—and why episodes stand alone but compound07:30 – Competence trust: the brand that “gets me” (Nike shift, Sephora demos) + Peloton misread14:20 – Framework for competence: Why → What → Where (myth-bust, demo, direct CTA)17:30 – Example: 30-sec tax advisory myth-buster → LinkedIn/Reels → consult link → track AOV20:10 – Proximity trust: employees, in-place context, show real proof (DSW AR, Starbucks, Apple)24:10 – Employee content > celebrity polish; make it authentic, even shot on phone26:00 – 14-day Trust Sprint and MAP recap; why proximity is overlooked yet most scalableTakeaways for OperatorsStop chasing linear funnels; engineer trust in-channel so action can happen immediately.Use Why → What → Where to collapse steps: name the pain, show the fix, drop the link.Turn staff into a media network: People → Place → Proof with incentives and simple tracking.Localize by currency, domains, visuals, accents, micro-influencers—it quietly multiplies conversion.Run a 14-day sprint: baseline CAC/AOV → recruit 3 customers + 3 insiders → record shorts →...

What happens when an ex-investment banker builds one of the most disruptive products in the beauty industry?Lewis Farsedakis, Founder & CEO of Blinc Inc., joins me to share the extraordinary journey of how he invented tubing mascara — a smudge-proof, flake-proof formula that changed the game for millions. But this story goes way beyond cosmetics. From privatizing telecoms in post-Soviet Eastern Europe to launching a clean skincare brand and shaping the future of ethical beauty, Lewis's path is full of lessons in vision, grit, and timeless innovation.In this episode, we explore how radical thinking, mentorship, and obsession with solving problems led Lewis to build one of Sephora's top-selling products — and how he's gearing up for an even bigger innovation.

On this week's episode of “The Glossy Beauty Podcast,” co-hosts Sara Spruch-Feiner and Lexy Lebsack dive into one of beauty's buzziest topics: Gen Alpha's rapid emergence as consumers in their own right.  They discuss Spruch-Feiner's reporting on Sephora tweens and teens, as well as Sephora's first two brands geared directly at Gen Alpha: Sincerely Yours, brought to market by father-daughter mega-influencer duo Jordan and Salish Matter, and Evereden, which will hit Sephora.com on October 14. They examine what will happen, on Sephora's shelves and beyond, as Gen Alpha grows into its purchasing power. The demographic, born between 2010-2024, is currently 15 years old and younger — and already showing a voracious appetite for consuming beauty products, while also starting brands they want to see hit the market. See: Sincerely Yours and Yes Day. But first, a look at some of this week's headlines, including Coperni's introduction of C+, a collection of athleisure clothes infused with pre- and probiotic properties, meant to help support the skin's microbiome. The brand claims that the benefits last through 40 washes.  They also discuss CeraVe becoming the NBA's official skin- and hair-care partner. The brand has previously dabbled in partnerships with basketball players, working with Anthony Davis and Paige Bueckers for its "Head of CeraVe" campaign to promote its anti-dandruff shampoo in February. It will promote the new partnership through digital and physical activations throughout the season. Finally, they talk about fitness trackers, specifically rings, which continue to gain traction — U.S. sales are up 88% year-over-year. More than 1.3 million fitness tracker devices were purchased during the first seven months of 2025, a 35% increase over last year. The same growth has not been seen for devices worn on the wrist, however — sales of these devices were down 6% year-over-year.

This episode gave me goosebumps — and you'll understand why soon.Today, I'm speaking with the identical twin sisters Cipriana Quann and TK Wonder, hosts of the Chew on Something podcast and founders of Urban Bush Babes, a lifestyle platform celebrating the multi-faceted lives of women of color.Cipriana is a former Vogue writer; TK Wonder is a rapper and singer who's opened for artists like Nas and Afrika Bambaataa. Together, they've starred in campaigns for Fendi, Valentino, Tiffany & Co., Sephora, and more.I first saw them years ago in New York City during my Condé Nast days — two striking women shaping culture and fashion. I never imagined that years later, they'd be sitting on The New Health Club podcast couch in Denver with Joe Moore from Psychedelics Today and me, sharing one of the most powerful healing stories I've ever heard.Cipriana and TK open up about surviving sexual, physical, and childhood abuse — and how, for years, they used sugar and comfort food to numb the pain. Their discovery of Ibogaine, a plant medicine known for its deep psychological healing, completely transformed their relationship with their bodies and their health.This is a story about sisterhood, resilience, and the power of psychedelics to help us finally face what we've been running from — and heal for good.In this episode:How trauma shapes our relationship with foodThe healing potential of IbogaineFrom fashion icons to wellness voicesWhat real transformation looks like after trauma✨ How we used food to numb our trauma — and how Ibogaine helped us heal from it.INSTAGRAM@CiprianaQuann@TK-Wonder FOLLOW US ON IG@TheNewHealhInstitute @TheNewHealthClub @philippianne LINKEDIN https://www.linkedin.com/in/annephilippi/ Hosted on Acast.

This special 5th anniversary episode of the Remarkable Retail podcast marks a milestone: five years of insights, disruption, and conversations with the world's most innovative retail thinkers. We reflect on the pod's origin story during the early COVID lockdowns, tracing its evolution from Steve's book Remarkable Retail: How to Win & Keep Customers in the Age of Disruption into an industry-leading show featuring CEOs, founders, and thought leaders shaping global commerce. They share highlights from an impressive guest roster, including Scott Galloway (whose episode remains the most downloaded in the show's history), Artemis Patrick of Sephora, Hal Lawton of Tractor Supply, Chris Nicholas of Sam's Club, Joe Kudla of Vuori, and Neil Blumenthal of Warby Parker. Each clip showcases the powerful themes of customer centricity, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of remarkability.The centerpiece of the episode is a deep and engaging conversation with Seth Godin, returning for his sixth visit. Seth—bestselling author of classics including Purple Cow—first inspired the very language of “remarkability” in Steve's book and the podcast itself. Here, Seth reflects on why being remarkable matters more than ever in an era where “average is dead.” He warns leaders that chasing efficiency or “suck less” strategies won't suffice; brands must create conditions where customers want to talk about them. He draws a sharp distinction between simply being “better” through incremental improvements and being truly remarkable in ways that spark conversation, loyalty, and cultural resonance.Seth also delves into the impact of AI as the biggest societal shift since electricity. Rather than reducing costs by outsourcing tasks, he urges retailers to harness AI to enable new projects and creative possibilities. He illustrates this with his latest Kickstarter project—AI-driven card decks designed to spark learning, decision-making, and storytelling. For Seth, experimentation and accessible tools are the gateway to innovation, and he emphasizes that risk-taking in the AI era costs little but delivers exponential learning.Together, Michael, Steve, and Seth explore enduring themes: knowing who it's for and what it's for, the value of continuous improvement, and why shunning non-believers is essential to staying authentic.  About UsSteve Dennis is a strategic advisor and keynote speaker focused on growth and innovation, who has also been named one of the world's top retail influencers. He is the bestselling authro of two books: Leaders Leap: Transforming Your Company at the Speed of Disruption and Remarkable Retail: How To Win & Keep Customers in the Age of Disruption.

LeBlanc & Company Inc, a senior retail advisor, keynote speaker and now, media entrepreneur. He has been on the front lines of retail industry change for his entire career.

The fear of “bothering” donors has nonprofits sending fewer emails than Sephora sends about mascara. And you know what that means? Fewer emails = fewer donations.In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on why silence in your donor's inbox is way more damaging than showing up with short, story-driven emails. I'll tell you why Patagonia, Old Navy, and Jimmy John's can email you daily without you hitting unsubscribe, and why nonprofits should stop hiding behind once-a-quarter newsletters that nobody reads (hello, donor amnesia).

Lauren and Josh explore the incredible turnaround of Dancing With the Stars (which is seeing a huge ratings spike thanks to TikTok). Related: TikTok continues its will-they, won't-they journey into US spinoff territory. We have to ask: will the rest of the world follow? Then, a turn to creator commerce as Sephora, Condé Nast, and Best Buy are all launching their own "creator storefronts," giving creators a direct way to curate and sell products. Is this the next evolution of affiliate marketing or just a passing trend? Finally: a discourse on the staggering growth of NFL viewership and how the league is dominating not just TV screens, but second screens too. We discuss why more fans than ever are shopping, betting, and scrolling while watching the game.Creator Upload is your creator economy podcast, hosted by Lauren Schnipper and Joshua Cohen.00:00 Introduction00:27 How TikTok Made Dancing With the Stars Cool Again05:29 The Charli D'Amelio Effect09:22 Why the DWTS and TikTok Partnership is So Organic14:15 The Inevitable TikTok Sale16:14 Will the World Adopt a US-Only TikTok?22:18 Creator Storefronts Come to Sephora & Condé Nast25:57 Is the Creator Storefront Trend Here to Stay?31:00 UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD: NFL Viewership is Dominating33:25 The Rise of the Second Screen Fan36:56 UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD: The Summer I Turned Pretty38:48 OutroFollow Lauren: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schnipper/Follow Josh: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshuajcohen/Original music by London Bridge: https://www.instagram.com/londonbridgemusic/Edited and produced by Adam Conner: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamonbrand

Executive coach Angela Bennett knows a thing or two about the unique needs of beauty and wellness industry leaders. She spent more than two decades working across L'Oréal and Estee Lauder brands like La Roche-Posay, Maybelline and Clinique in roles like vice president, general manager and svp of talent acquisition. "The subjective nature of [the beauty industry] requires an art of balancing data points, intuition and conviction [while] becoming your own leader to navigate the decisions that need to be made on a daily basis," Bennett said. But today, Bennett is part of a growing number of certified professional executive coaches who help individuals and organizations to build stronger teams. She also works one-on-one with executives who need help getting to the next level in their careers.  This often entails a rigorous strategy that includes reflection, learning and planning in an effort to become a better leader with more long-term career direction. Much of this process starts with developing communication skills to suit the workplace environment and culture. “Communication coaching is really going to be about developing the skills to be clear, concise, convincing and motivating, and to really master the art of what we call ‘influencing for results',” she said. “[That means] influencing others, influencing management toward making decisions on specific strategies that, as a leader, you are recommending and wanting to push through.”  In today's episode of the Glossy Beauty Podcast, Bennett introduces us to the world of executive coaching and shares her top three universal tips for executives.  But first, hosts Lexy Lebsack and Emily Jensen discuss the biggest beauty news of the week.  First up is wellness investment news from Oura Health Oy, the makers of Oura, the wearable health tracking ring that launched in 2015. The Finnish company is reportedly closing in on a $875 million Series E investment round that will undoubtedly impact the industry. The company could soon be valued at around $11 billion.  The hosts also break down the latest influx of celebrity endorsement deals including Kris Jenner for Estée Lauder-owned MAC, Leighton Meester for indie darling skin-care brand Bubble, singer Ciara as the new face of Thorne's Creatine products, Miley Cyrus for Maybelline, and Dua Lipa's new deal with pilates reformer company Frame Fitness.  Lebsack and Jensen also unpack Hailey Bieber's splashy Rhode launch with Sephora, which brought in $10 million in sales in just two days, according to Yipit, an alternative data provider and analytics firm that utilizes web and in-store receipt data.  Finally, the duo discuss the closure of Kim Kardashian's 3-year-old skincare line, SKKN by Kim, including Coty's $71.1 milliones loss from its 2021 investment in the now-shuttered brand. 

On today's Spendy Savey episode, Leigh's diving deep into the science with Niod's latest enzyme mist that's so new you can only order it online until November, while Kelly's found a cooling aloe vera gel that's perfect for everything from post-treatment skin to razor burn relief. Leigh's loving cream eyeshadows that feel like butter and blend like a dream, French skincare masks that cost nearly $300 but deliver results worth every penny, and discovering why Paula's Choice's new peptide eye serum is causing both excitement and controversy with its cooling metal applicator.

Jordan walks us through the entire journey, from the initial idea to their "Sephora or Bust" retail strategy.

We cover the major updates, including dynamic ad insertion. We dig into how this could turn every creator's back catalog into a gold mine by allowing sponsored segments to be swapped out over time.

After starting as a brick-and-mortar nail salon in Los Angeles in 2013, Olive & June closed up shop in 2020, with founder and CEO Sarah Gibson Tuttle pivoting her focus to DIY manis. By November 2024, Helen of Troy had acquired the brand for $225 million in cash and a $15 million earnout subject to performance over three years. Helen of Troy's beauty portfolio also includes Drybar, Curlsmith and Hot Tools, among others. But Gibson Tuttle was intent on remaining involved in her brand's operations — operating essentially as it did prior to the acquisition, but with greater support. Now, nearly a year post-acquisition, Gibson Tuttle joins the Glossy Beauty Podcast to discuss life after selling her brand, why an obsession with the customer can almost guarantee product success and how the nail category differs from other beauty categories. But first, co-hosts Sara Spruch-Feiner and Emily Jensen discuss industry news, including Sephora's announcement that it will launch its own affiliate platform, the recent acquisitions of Nudestix, Byoma and Cos Bar, and Gap's increased investment and new hires as it looks to grow its beauty offerings.

Send us a textSephora has long been recognized as a leader in prestige beauty retail. Founded in France in the late 1960s, the brand introduced its now-famous open-selling concept that allowed shoppers to browse freely and test products across brands. Something unheard of in department store beauty counters of the time. When Sephora opened its first U.S. store in New York's Soho district in 1998, the concept was still relatively unknown. “Back then, few people knew who we were, and many brands didn't want to work with us as a newcomer,” recalls Emmy Brown Berlind, Senior Vice President, General Manager of Loyalty at Sephora. “So, we really built our business on creativity, differentiation, and the belief that beauty should be fun and inclusive, and that commitment continues to shape how Sephora connects with its clients.” That philosophy of inclusivity and discovery has powered Sephora's rise into the leading prestige beauty retailer in North America, with more than 700 stores and a vibrant digital ecosystem. A critical part of that growth has been the Beauty Insider loyalty program, launched in 2007. “The launch of our Beauty Insider program was part of a key differentiation that we were able to introduce to the market which led to a lot of loyalty with our clients and continues to support the growth of the business,” Berlind explains. 

Elise wonders at the efficacy of programs like denim buybacks and Sephora's empties trade-ins, and Doree has some strong opinions!

Meanwhile, Collina Strada, a low-key darling of the fashion underground, has quietly weathered over a decade in business.

“You're not trading your customer in for a commission,” says Eric Tuttle of Intermedia Cloud Communications. “With our C.O.R.E. model, you own the customer relationship, the billing, and the long-term value of recurring revenue.” In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Publisher Doug Green speaks with Eric Tuttle of Intermedia Cloud Communications about why ownership and recurring income are more important than ever for MSPs navigating economic uncertainty. Intermedia's C.O.R.E. (Customer Ownership Reseller Model) gives partners control of billing, pricing, and first-tier support—creating “stickier” customer relationships, predictable monthly revenue, and stronger long-term business valuations. Tuttle also highlights the importance of Intermedia's partnership with ScanSource, where partners benefit from consolidated billing, financing options, and dedicated support. With ScanSource's loyal partner base and reach into adjacent markets such as security and point-of-sale, Intermedia is seeing new opportunities beyond traditional UCaaS resellers. From powering major retail brands like Sephora to enabling MSPs and VARs to diversify revenue, Intermedia positions itself as the solid choice for channel partners who want both flexibility and ownership in today's competitive UCaaS space.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has made headlines yet again with the surprise release of his new album SWAG II, which dropped at midnight on September 5, 2025. This release comes just two months after his seventh studio album SWAG arrived in July, marking his most prolific period since his 2021 project Justice. SWAG II is not a typical sequel; it's a sprawling, 44-track reissue packed with 23 bonus songs, instantly capturing attention both for its size and its blend of styles from trap to R&B and even spiritual reflection. Major outlets like Good Morning America and Elle have spotlighted the album's midnight release, while music sites note that Bieber teased its arrival with a series of Instagram posts and dramatic billboards lighting up places like Times Square and even Iceland, where much of the album was reportedly recorded.Critically, SWAG and SWAG II have reasserted Bieber's pop dominance after his brief hiatus and the blockbuster sale of his music catalog in 2023. SWAG debuted at number two on the Billboard 200, hitting nearly 200 million streams out of the gate. The lead single Daisies also arrived strong at number two on the Hot 100 and became his 27th top ten single in the US, tying him with legends like Janet Jackson. Notably, the new tracks make direct references to his family life, with Mother in You being his first song to explicitly mention his son Jack, born in August 2024. Lines about Jack and wife Hailey in songs like this have drawn fan and media attention, especially as divorce rumors have circled the couple. Bieber seems to tackle these tabloid narratives head-on with heartfelt lyrics that emphasize stability and devotion.On the public appearance front, both Justin and Hailey Bieber skipped the high-profile MTV VMAs this week, despite his Best Pop Artist nomination, instead opting to celebrate the album's release privately in New York with family. Paparazzi last spotted them together with baby Jack shortly after SWAG II's debut, and Elle reports they shared new family photos on social media, fueling the wholesome narrative.Beyond music, Bieber is publicly supporting Hailey's business as Rhode, her skincare and makeup line, launches in Sephora stores across North America. He posted about Rhode's expansion using lyrics from his new music, underscoring the crossover between his family, business, and creative life. Hailey meanwhile continues to speak openly about motherhood's impact, recently telling Vogue that Jack is her priority.No interviews have been given yet about the new albums, and speculation swirls online about a possible accompanying tour, but so far, all Bieber's statements remain strictly about music and family, as reflected in his social media and recent public outings. In short, Bieber's SWAG II era is as much about creative output as it is about family—an unmistakable shift for the pop superstar as he moves into a new chapter under a brighter, more personal spotlight.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber's name has been front and center these past few days, grabbing major headlines and fueling fan speculation. The biggest news is his surprise release of “SWAG II,” a mammoth new album unveiled just after midnight on Friday—though not without drama. According to ABC News and Good Morning America, Bieber stoked anticipation with a blitz of Instagram posts, billboards in Times Square and Atlanta, and viral teasers from Iceland, where much of this record was laid down. The album itself is a staggering effort, ranging anywhere from 23 to 44 new tracks depending on streaming platform interpretations, and features collaborations with Tems, Lil B, Bakar, Hurricane Chris, Eddie Benjamin, and even Marvin Winans and Sexyy Red. Media outlets like stupidDOPE and Y101 have been quick to point out that *SWAG II* is less about radio singles and more a streaming ecosystem, aiming squarely at today's playlist culture.The drop did not go completely smoothly. Virgin Radio hosts recounted how Bieber's own social media posts frantically documented his frustration as the album failed to show up at the promised time, with Bieber posting, refreshing, and even blaming upload delays on his own team rather than the streaming services. Ultimately, fans got the album—just hours late.The response online has been pure Bieber: huge streaming numbers, heated discussions about his evolving style, and a fresh wave of attention on his personal life. People magazine and Economic Times have highlighted Bieber's social media support for his wife, Hailey Bieber, whose Rhode skincare launch at Sephora brought the couple into joint spotlight. Bieber not only shared Rhode news with playful references to his song “Go Baby” but also dedicated tracks and heartfelt captions in support of Hailey's brand, underlining that his home life is as public as his musical career right now.Outside the studio and social feeds, public appearances around New York have sparked speculation and concern among fans. According to The Hollywood Gossip and IMDb, some fans have voiced worries about Bieber's physical appearance, and photos from these outings have launched a wave of commentary online—though there's no verified medical news or official statements to back up the chatter. Sites like SuperFriend acknowledge the rumor mills but confirm nothing substantial, leaving the conversation squarely in the realm of fan gossip for now.All of this is unfolding amidst Bieber's ongoing business ventures. Forbes and The Star Worths have reported that his real estate portfolio—luxury estates in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills—remains steady, and NetEase Cloud Music ranks him as its most-streamed Western artist, reflecting his sustained commercial clout. For now, the combination of album release spectacle, candid Instagram moments, viral family support, and public scrutiny make this one of the more biographically significant periods in Bieber's recent history. The headlines say it all: Bieber is pushing boundaries, keeping fans guessing, and staying firmly in the center of pop culture conversation.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta
