Holly Thaggard is the founder of Supergoop!, the first and only skincare brand that is 100% dedicated to UV protection. In 2005, Holly’s life and career path completely changed when a good friend of hers was diagnosed with skin cancer. It was at this point, she realized that people weren’t taking sunscreen seriously. Holly realized that it was important for someone to make sunscreen “cool” in order to stop the epidemic of skin cancer. Leaving her career as an elementary school teacher, Holly decided to jump into the very unfamiliar world of SPF. After having a tough start by trying to sell her sunscreen into elementary schools (since that was a market she knew), Holly pivoted to retail and eventually got her product into big retailers like Sephora and Nordstrom after years of building her brand and perfecting her product. Fast forward to today, Supergoop! Is a must-have product by skincare gurus everywhere and is over $40 million in revenue. We’ll chat with Holly about what it takes to disrupt an entire category, how her musical talents helped fund her business when she had very little money, finding the right partners to support your mission, and the lessons she learned as a first-time entrepreneur. In this episode, we’ll talk to Holly about: * How growing up in an entrepreneurial family impacted Holly as an entrepreneur. [2:23]* Why Holly entered education and her experience as an elementary school teacher. [4:58]* How education is still at the core of what Holly does with Supergoop! [7:56]* How Holly’s career took a turn when her teaching contract wasn’t renewed [10:02]* Hear how the idea for Supergoop! came about, when a good friend of Holly’s was diagnosed with skin cancer. [12:14]* Learn about Holly’s love for solving problems using creativity and innovation. [14:38]* When Holly saw this opportunity to educate about sunscreen, she explains the next steps in developing her product. [16:19]* Even with no expertise in this category, Holly started asking the right questions. [18:06]* What Holly’s distribution strategy was for Supergoop!, starting with private schools. [19:41]* Learning about the business of scaling and going from trade shows to big retail. [24:54]* From meeting Roxanne Quimby of Burt’s Bees to getting product on the shelves at Sephora. [30:50]* Holly knew she was onto something when she was contacted by Elon Musk’s team. [37:26]* Holly talks about her fundraising techniques and supporting the growth of her brand. [39:25]* How Holly’s relationships with both Sephora and Nordstrom started with an impromptu trip to San Francisco. [43:19]* Holly emphasizes that it took 16 years to build the reputation Supergoop! has today. [53:09]* The importance of finding the “right” retail partners that will embrace your vision. [54:25]* Holly’s tip for entrepreneurs looking to disrupt an industry: have something unique. [55:55]* Advice for those trying to juggle family life and entrepreneurship: relish the everyday moments with your family.

Today’s guest is Holly O'Driscoll, the founder and CEO of Ampersand Innovation, a boutique consultancy focusing on bringing more human-centered design, innovation, strategy, and leadership development to the world. During the conversation, you'll learn about intersections between innovation and leadership, designing and facilitating innovation teams, and insights into shaping organizational innovation. Host: Dawan Stanford. Show Summary Holly believes her journey into design began when she was kicked out of kindergarten after only two weeks (only to be promoted to first grade) for her precocious behavior. Later, in middle school, she started her own business, renting out pens and pencils to her fellow classmates. She’s continued pushing boundaries, asking difficult questions, and challenging assumptions. Her undergraduate degree was in Chemistry, with her future plans aimed at going to medical school, but a chance interview with Proctor & Gamble on her college campus changed her career trajectory. She ended up getting an MBA and working at P&G for 22 years, traveling all around the world servicing plants, before moving into the corporate design organization in the company, which was still in its early stages. Holly’s introduction to design thinking would also come during her time at P&G, when she returned to work after maternity leave – and it changed her life. After that first training, Holly entered a rigorous design thinking training program co-developed by Stanford d.school. She would eventually take over P&G’s North American design thinking role, and two years later, she became the head of the company’s Global design thinking. In 2018, Holly left P&G to start her own consultancy after numerous requests from business colleagues asking her to come and do the same team training and work she was doing for P&G. Now, she’s in the process of finding ways to transition her work into the virtual space while still maintaining the same thoughtful, meaningful experience that comes from an in-person event. Listen in to learn more about: The intersection between innovation and leadership How our “on demand” culture can create challenges when it comes to time expectations and design thinking Our society’s obsession with perfection and getting things right The two things Holly believes prevents innovation teams from achieving their goals How learning design thinking is like learning a new language The importance of the right mindset in an organization wanting to use design thinking The HIPPO concept What Holly considers when building teams The facilitation exercise Holly uses to build rapport and connection in a team When an organization really needs someone outside the org to facilitate a team Our Guest’s Bio Holly O’Driscoll is an industry expert in the field of Design Thinking and human centered innovation. Throughout her 20+ year career, Holly has built a reputation as a master human centered innovation strategist, trainer and facilitator having led programs in more than 20 countries. She is the former Global Design Thinking Leader at Procter & Gamble, where she led more than 250 workshops, often at the request of C-suite executives. She is the founder and CEO of Ampersand Innovation, LLC; a Design Thinking and human centered innovation strategy consultancy.
