Olamide Olowe is a born entrepreneur. The Topicals skin-care founder grew up in an entrepreneurial household and pursued track running, which enabled her to earn a scholarship to UCLA, where she initially studied pre-med to become a dermatologist. Topicals was born after Olowe's college roommate revealed a family connection to SheaMoisture. On the latest episode of the Glossy Beauty podcast, Olowe said she learned that skin care, dermatology and beauty could be made accessible over the counter. The name Topicals serves a dual function because it means both something applied on the skin and something that is culturally relevant or topical. Topicals is dedicated to helping chronic skin issues like eczema and psoriasis for all types of consumers and is sold through Sephora and its DTC e-commerce. Topicals has received wide praise since its launch in 2020, including being honored by Allure's Best of Beauty in 2023 and Women's Health 2023 Skincare Awards, among others. But the journey to get there was not easy. Just like many other female and BIPOC-founded brands, Topicals had a difficult fundraising experience, at first. But the brand went on to raise $15 million in outside funding. On the latest Glossy Podcast, Olowe spoke with Emma Sandler, beauty and wellness editor at Glossy, about her entrepreneurial vision for the beauty industry, Topicals' early entry into Sephora and streetwear culture's influence on her business.

This week, Olamide Olowe—founder & CEO of Topicals—highlights her tenacity to constantly learn, the importance of mentorship and the journey that led her to earn her most recent title of “the youngest Black woman to raise $10MM in funding”.  She shares that her “strategy in life is to learn as much as [she] can about a particular topic”.  She also discusses how she has been forging a path for entrepreneurial young, Black women through her new platform: The Cost of Doing Business, and how the importance of the community is a core pillar for the brand. She expresses appreciation for the lessons she learned through being a student-athlete and for gaining her “MBA in the real world” through co-founding the beauty brand SheaGIRL, in partnership with SheaMoisture. All of these experiences prepared her to take advantage of what she calls “business rocket fuel.”   Olamide leaves us with several key lessons: About Her Perspective on Building a Brand/Business “Building your community starts with understanding what your brand's mission is, what your brand stands for. Once you have that, you'll understand how to draw the right customers to you.” “Any business I start will have a component of doing social good.” About Her Perspective on Fundraising “Funding is rocket fuel, and you can't put rocket fuel into a rocket that hasn't even been built yet.” “I am a reflection of what could happen when we invest in young Black women.” “Everyone needs to be on this track and on this path to create equity in communities of color.” About Her Perspective on Life “I've always had the intention of doing things that were hard, things that would help others.” “To whom much is given, much is expected.” “The first thing is making sure you're constantly consuming things that are teaching you something. Get into the habit of learning.” Bio: Olamide Olowe, Founder and CEO  (Pronounced Oh-LAH-mi-day Oh-LOW-way) She/Her Olamide Olowe is a recent graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles where she was a pre-Med student and received a B.A. in Political Science with a concentration in Race, Ethnicity, and Politics and a minor in Entrepreneurship.

Leaders fail when they don't prioritize customer service. Leaders often believe that customer service is the last step of any process, but it should come first because it can make or break your team and your business. Every leader needs a plan to provide customer service no matter where your team falls in the organization. I host Aneto Okonkwo, CEO of Chatdesk, where he shares a simple strategy every leader can use to increase customer service.  Chatdesk is a software and machine learning company in the customer service industry.   They help brands scale their customer support efficiently and drive conversions particularly on social media channels.  The mission of the company is to solve customer service and create jobs. Thousands of freelance Chatdesk Experts across the US and around the world use the Chatdesk platform to earn income on demand by providing support for brands that they love. Their typical clients are e-commerce and retail brands like OLAPLEX, Shea Moisture, Thinx, SSENSE and more.  Chatdesk helps them provide fast and personalized responses to customer questions to help drive conversions. Clients are able to get up and running in 2-3 days and they typically see 10-15% of customer conversations converting to sales while achieving 90%+ customer satisfaction. Prior to Chatdesk, Aneto worked as a leader at Google working on products like Voice Search and the Google Assistant.  Earlier in his career he held roles at McKinsey & Company, Microsoft, Goldman Sachs and Silicon Valley startups. Aneto holds a BS and MA from Stanford University where he was a Mayfield Fellow.  What You'll Discover in this Episode: The one question that helps you determine what business to create. Family dinner-time conversation as a leadership advantage. The incredible story of why Chatdesk was founded. What it's like having a tennis superstar, Serena Williams, as an investor. Three strategies to quickly boost your team's customer service. Rise of the fractional executive. The cornerstones of customer service. The product failure at Google that accelerated his career.

The leap from Richard Branson to crypto isn't that big, as it turns out. For venture capitalist Mags Kala, all it required was quitting her day job. Kala used to work at Bain Capital, helping out big brand names like Shea Moisture and Virgin Voyages. But one day she decided to leave it all behind and strike it out on her own. After about a year of going solo, she's become especially keen on the Web3 space. On this week's episode of the Modern Retail Podcast, Kala explained how and why she made the jump. For her, as a consumer investor, she wanted to be on the ground floor of the biggest changes in regards to how regular people spend their time and money. That's what initially turned Kala on to the world for crypto. What was it that made it click? According to Kala, an expensive digital avatar of an ape. “Joining the Bored Ape NFT craze was very eye-opening for me,” Kala said. Here, she was describing the company Bored Ape Yacht Club, which auctions off pixelated pictures of apes using blockchain-based contracts and cryptocurrency. While it's a phenomenon mostly for people online (with a lot of money to spare), Kala said the rise of these NFT artists made clear many other things as well. At its core, these types of new programs hit at a base-line question she's always trying to answer as a consumer investor, Kala said: “What's truly next for the consumer economy?”

The #woke twitter gang has insomnia apparently, because they were "woke" enough to pick out the disparaging characteristics of a hair care ad on YouTube by Shea Moisture. If you haven't yet seen it, the ad features a diverse set of women who (presumably) Shea Moisture now wants to participate in patronizing their LINE of products (emphasis on LINE because Shea Moisture has an entire line of products from shampoos to soaps to lip balms)! Black women are outraged because from their perspective, Shea Moisture owes black women their loyalty in exchange for their continued support. Do they have a point? Other may say, Shea Moisture is a business like any other and the objective is to be profitable. Hmm...they might have a point too. Let's debate this.
