Hey guys, real quick, have you checked out Droplet? It is by far the most revolutionary

They're actually getting to the cells that can utilize those ingredients. Recently, they just launched their Exxone Serum Mist, which is a phenomenal product because it's using real exosomes that are shipped to you on ice, so you don't have to worry about them being degraded by the time you use them.

And so when you put the capsule of exosomes into your droplet device,

it creates a fine mist. That mist is allowing those exomes to be pushed into the layers where they're going to actually be able to interact with the cells that can use them for signaling. If you want to check out the device, go to droplet.io, use our code Anarchy, A-N-A-R-C-H-Y, to get a very special

excited to host our guest today because he is really kind of paving a road, I think, for all of the

brands in the space to kind of have a blueprint as we move forward into true sustainability.

1:05.1

Nora. I'm so honored to host you. Thank you so much. Hi, everyone. I'm very honored to be on this podcast. I'm very honored to be with you. I'm a fan of what you do. I also feel like you've done this with so many experts in their field, so many people that are paving the way, whether it's with

ingredients, whether it's with everything that's happened with CEW and with the Innovators' Awards.

1:45.0

And I want our audience to really get to know your body of work because you are with L'Oreal for 13 years behind like the Time 100 Innovation Award. I mean, this is huge stuff.

So can you kind of walk us down memory lane and tell us what got you into the beauty industry, your experience at L'Oreal and everything that followed?

2:22.0

what I guess society or my parents expected from me back in high school, in orientation.

2:28.8

I didn't even know marketing was a job or community or innovation. Really, really. I thought you had to become an engineer. So I became an engineer.

2:38.1

So I studied in Montreal. I studied electrical engineering. And that was really where I thought

I would end up being. And then I needed more money in school. So I started doing jobs, what you called back in the day,

2:52.1

guerrilla marketing. So I'd be the, I'd be the guy in a movie theater, in a bathrobe,
