Summary

Meghan sits down with close friend Jamie Kern Lima to share the incredible story of how she went from waiting tables at Denny’s to becoming the groundbreaking co-founder of IT Cosmetics. In 2016, Jamie sold the brand to L’Oréal for $1.2 Billion in cash, a deal that made her the first female CEO of a brand in the company’s history. The two discuss the power of authenticity, overcoming setbacks, and the critical importance of trusting your instincts.
