Hey, really quick, before we start the show, you may have heard of this, but if not, I want to tell you about this amazing, exciting event that we're planning.

It's our first ever, How I Built This Summit.

It's an all-day gathering for innovators and entrepreneurs sponsored by American Express, and we're hosting it this October 16th in San Francisco.

Throughout the day, I'll be doing live interviews with incredible entrepreneurs like Airbnb's Joe Gebbia, Lisa Price of Carol's daughter, Jen Hyman,

of Runway, John Zimmer of Lyft, and Katrina Lake of Stitchfix.

We're also going to have workshops with experts and guides there to provide you with lots of advice.

Plus, you're going to meet hundreds of people just like you, builders who are taking their ideas to the next level.

So if you want to find out how to get your tickets, go to npr.org slash summit.

Oh, and this episode, we originally ran it back in the fall of 2016.

I hope you enjoy it.

Lisa said, look, I have absolutely no reason to do this, because 99% of everyone that sits opposite me telling me this story does not succeed.

But for some crazy reason, I think you've got something interesting, and I want to be in for the ride.

From NPR, it's how I built this, a show about innovators, entrepreneurs, idealists, and the stories behind the movements they built.

I'm Guy Ross, and on today's show, how Jane Werwen went from doing facials for women at a beauty parlor to building one of the leading skincare companies in the world.
