In 2013, Gregg Renfrew founded Beautycounter—the beauty brand that pioneered what we know today as the clean beauty movement. The brand gained a well-respected reputation for its commitment to using safe ingredients in its products and for refusing to include any formulas that contained questionable or harmful chemicals. Renfrew's commitment to customer health and her advocacy for cosmetic regulation set her apart from her competitors at a time when clean beauty was just an idea, not an entire industry. She last joined us in 2019, before the company's sale to a private equity firm in a deal that valued the brand at $1 billion. Since then, she's had to make several pivots—from being asked to step down as CEO to leaving her own company to watching it go into foreclosure. Her latest pivot has involved starting a new company with the same commitment to clean beauty called Counter, and she's back to tell us all about the new venture.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Google faces the greatest innovator's dilemma in history. They invented the Transformer — the breakthrough technology powering every modern AI system from ChatGPT to Claude (and, of course, Gemini). They employed nearly all the top AI talent: Ilya Sutskever, Geoff Hinton, Demis Hassabis, Dario Amodei — more or less everyone who leads modern AI worked at Google circa 2014. They built the best dedicated AI infrastructure (TPUs!) and deployed AI at massive scale years before anyone else. And yet... the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022 caught them completely flat-footed. How on earth did the greatest business in history wind up playing catch-up to a nonprofit-turned-startup?Today we tell the complete story of Google's 20+ year AI journey: from their first tiny language model in 2001 through the creation Google Brain, the birth of the transformer, the talent exodus to OpenAI (sparked by Elon Musk's fury over Google's DeepMind acquisition), and their current all-hands-on-deck response with Gemini. And oh yeah — a little business called Waymo that went from crazy moonshot idea to doing more rides than Lyft in San Francisco, potentially building another Google-sized business within Google. This is the story of how the world's greatest business faces its greatest test: can they disrupt themselves without losing their $140B annual profit-generating machine in Search?Sponsors:Many thanks to our fantastic Fall ‘25 Season partners:J.P.

In this episode of Business, Not As Usual, I'm pulling back the curtain on my most recent Distinctive Edge launch—numbers, takeaways, and what actually worked. I'm walking you through the full debrief: how we brought in $96,357 in total sales, the breakdown between my new and continuing clients, where leads came from, and how three key warm-up events all played a role in conversions. I share the exact stats: from the perfect 10/10 Base and VIP split to which offers converted best, and why this launch felt easier, calmer, and more effective than ever. We'll talk about how long it really takes someone to buy, why “Goldilocks-level teaching” is the secret to a strong conversion event, and how low-ticket offers can fast-track trust for higher-ticket programs (when done right). You'll also hear my honest emotional take on this round: what it was like launching while solo parenting twins for nine days, how I prepped everything early, and why letting go of perfection made this one of my most peaceful launches to date. If you love behind-the-scenes strategy mixed with a little real-life chaos, this one's for you.

Send us a textBrand authority doesn't start with a logo—it begins with a decision about how you want to show up. We sit down with Ann Marie Sorrell, president and CEO of the Mosaic Group, to unpack the strategy, grit, and heart behind a 20‑year journey from West Palm Beach to a growing Caribbean footprint. Ann Marie breaks down positioning that goes beyond aesthetics, showing how message, culture, and behavior align to create trust. Then she gets practical about content: why story matters, how to tailor for each platform, and what it takes to move people from scrolling to action.The conversation turns personal and powerful as Ann Marie recounts surviving the recession, canceled contracts, and foreclosure by clinging to a single Plan A and a daily bias for execution. That resilience paved the way for a bold move during the pandemic—scaling a regional forum into the National Black Economic Conference with global voices and tangible resources for Black entrepreneurs. We talk about designing events around outcomes, not optics, and building communities that leave with pathways, not platitudes.Ann Marie also opens the door to a complex, high‑growth space: cannabis.

In part one of this powerful two-part conversation, Dr. Lauryn sits down with Kiera Dent, CEO and founder of The Dental A Team, to uncover the root causes of financial and emotional burnout across chiropractic, dentistry, and other healthcare professions. Together, they dig into why so many doctors feel “broke,” overwhelmed, and disconnected from their purpose, and what needs to change in how we approach business and balance in the healthcare world.Lauryn and Kiera dive deep into the shared challenges facing modern clinicians: massive student debt, a lack of business training, and the generational shift in what work-life balance really means.

Mal Vivek, founder and CEO of Zeb, discusses the rapid growth of her firm, which has become a leader in digital and AI transformation. Zeb has established itself as one of the fastest-growing AWS Premier Tier and Databricks partners, primarily by addressing the challenges small and medium businesses face in implementing AI solutions. Vivek emphasizes the importance of understanding each client's unique business model and tailoring AI solutions to meet their specific needs, rather than offering a one-size-fits-all approach.Vivek highlights the significant shift in lead generation strategies among their clients, who are increasingly utilizing AI to create more targeted and high-quality leads. This change reflects a broader trend where businesses are moving away from traditional lead lists and instead developing custom AI systems that align with their ideal customer profiles. Additionally, she notes the importance of training and upskilling employees through AI, enabling them to access vast amounts of knowledge quickly and efficiently.The conversation also touches on the concept of an "AI-first strategy," which varies in definition across different organizations. For Zeb, this strategy involves identifying repetitive tasks that can be enhanced through AI while ensuring that the human touch remains integral to the customer experience. Vivek stresses the need for restraint in digital transformation, arguing that not every process should be automated, especially when personal interaction is a key component of a business's success.Finally, Vivek discusses the evolving business models driven by AI, including a shift towards value-based pricing. She explains how Zeb structures its pricing around measurable outcomes and mutual agreements on success metrics, ensuring that both the firm and its clients benefit from the results achieved. This approach not only fosters accountability but also aligns the interests of Zeb with those of its customers, ultimately driving better business outcomes.

Nous sommes aujourd'hui avec Sandrine et Florian Favario, de l'Auberge de Montmin. Tous les gastronomes (ou presque) connaissent leur "maison de cuisine" doublement étoilée et nichée sur les hauteurs du somptueux lac d'Annecy. Ils y proposent une expérience gastronomique de haut vol où le sens du service de Sandrine sublime la cuisine instinctive et maîtrisée de Florian. Pour co-animer ce nouvel épisode de Business of Bouffe, Philibert est accompagné de Pierre Marcolin, le co-fondateur du restaurant Bloomer à Annecy.À travers ce podcast, nous cherchons à mieux connaître ce couple très réservé, mais terriblement talentueux et inspiré, qui rebat les cartes de la haute gastronomie avec beaucoup de sincérité et de bon sens.Pour cela, on fait doucement connaissance avec Sandrine et Florian. On brise la glace et on découvre les débuts de ces deux passionnés de restauration. Après des études dans le tourisme, Sandrine prend les commandes d'une brasserie parisienne à seulement 20 ans ! C'est la révélation : elle adore recevoir et s'occuper des clients. De son côté, Florian troque le sport-études pour les fourneaux dès 14 ans, poussé par le goût de l'effort et du dépassement. Ils excellent tous les deux dans leurs arts - la cuisine et la salle - et commencent à rêver, chacun de leur côté, qu'un jour ils ouvriront leur propre maison.C'est chez Thierry Marx que leurs chemins se croisent enfin. Un coup de foudre professionnel et personnel. Florian enchaîne les grandes maisons à travers le monde, Sandrine affine son sens du service sur le terrain, toujours au plus près du client. De cette rencontre naît un lien nourri d'admiration partagée.Puis, Sandrine et Florian nous racontent le projet de leur vie : l'Auberge de Montmin. Ensemble, on évoque ainsi la création et le développement de leur "maison de cuisine", cette auberge gastronomique d'un nouveau genre où la salle et la cuisine dialoguent sans barrière. Florian peut enfin exprimer tous ses talents et sublimer avec audace son terroir savoyard en s'inspirant notamment de ses riches expériences aux quatre coins du monde. Sandrine, quant à elle, revisite le métier de maîtresse de maison et accueille ses convives avec exigence mais dans une ambiance conviviale, décontractée et quasi familiale. Et si c'était ça, la haute gastronomie de demain ?Cet épisode a été enregistré avec la participation exceptionnelle de Mercotte, François-Régis Gaudry, Eric Frechon et Philippe Héritier (Domaine des Orchis).

Welcome to episode #1004 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). What does it really mean to lead with values when so much of modern business seems built on quarterly results and surface-level culture? Robert Glazer has spent his career proving that sustainable performance isn't just about financial results. It's about the alignment between who you are and what you stand for. As founder and chairman of Acceleration Partners (a marketing agency), Bob built a company repeatedly recognized as one of the best places to work. Beyond the accolades, he is an author of seven books, including Elevate, Elevate Your Team and his latest, The Compass Within: A Little Story About the Values That Guide Us. In this conversation, Bob explores the central role that core values play in authentic leadership, how formative experiences shape decision-making and why self-awareness is the foundation of both personal and organizational growth. He explains how parables and storytelling can make complex business ideas more memorable, why mentorship still matters in a polarized and tech-driven world and how the rise of AI is intersecting with deeply human questions about meaning, integrity and belief. Bob reminds us that values are not slogans for walls or websites but active forces that define culture, guide behavior and ultimately determine whether leaders and organizations thrive or falter. In an era where data can overwhelm judgment and polarization can fracture trust, his work pushes us to examine whether our actions reflect the values we claim to hold, and how to close that gap.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Jay Sapovits, founder of Ink Stores, who shares how he transformed his business from a retail storefront into a thriving on-demand swag company during COVID. Starting with $300K in the first year and growing to mid-seven figures, Jay reveals the pivotal mindset shifts, the importance of resilience, and how consistency fueled growth. He also discusses scaling a team of nearly 30, building a strong culture, and why creativity and adaptability remain essential in the $27B U.S. merchandise industry. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Jay Sapovits, the hardest thing in growing a small business is consistency. He explained that no matter how tough things get—whether you're “kicked in the teeth on Tuesday”—you have to show up again on Wednesday and keep going. Consistency, even through setbacks, is what makes growth possible. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Jay Sapovits said his favorite business book is “How to Become a Rainmaker” by Jeffrey Fox. He called it “unequivocally, the best business book ever written” because it breaks down sales into simple, powerful concepts in short, easy-to-digest chapters that serve as a lifelong reference. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? While Jay Sapovits didn't name specific favorites, several great resources align with his focus on resilience, consistency, and growth. Podcasts like The How of Business, Masters of Scale, The $100 MBA Show, and The Disruptive Entrepreneur offer practical strategies and inspiring stories from entrepreneurs. Online learning platforms such as Coursera, Udemy, and LinkedIn Learning provide valuable training in sales, leadership, and team building—skills Jay emphasizes as essential. He also highlights the importance of community, so joining mastermind groups or business forums can help small business owners share challenges, learn from peers, and stay consistent in their growth journey. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? One tool Jay Sapovits says he “can't live without” is simple: email. Being super responsive, replying fast, keeping communication tight — that core tool / habit has been critical in how he grows trust, closes sales, and stays connected with clients. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? If Jay Sapovits could give himself advice on day one of starting his business, he would say: “Take it easy on yourself.” He explained that his high expectations often created unnecessary stress, and he later learned to manage them better. He also emphasized that “comparison is the thief of joy,” urging entrepreneurs to stay focused on their own journey, support their peers, and not get distracted by competitors or external factors they can't control.
