Episode 201: The True Grit of Bobbi Brown

Bobbi Brown is a total game-changer in the beauty industry. She is the Founder of a global namesake brand, a podcaster, mama, a makeup and beauty MasterClass teacher, Hotelier, and wellness advocate. In our premiere episode of Season Two, we chat with Bobbi Brown about her YOLO moment - how she packed up and moved to NYC, hustling as a freelance makeup artist and making cold calls to fashion magazines like Vogue.  Bobbi walks us through how she would become a makeup artist, launch a lipstick line, expand her business to the point of acquisition by Estée Lauder, the highs and lows of being an entrepreneur, and the true grit and hustle it took to become the Bobbi Brown you know today. The life lessons and bits of wisdom know no bounds in this episode - listen in!  We’ll also hear from LIVELY ambassador Zoe Martin, who created Bella Mama, a space dedicated to holistic pregnancy health and wellness.
