Summary

On this episode of On Purpose, I sat down with Mona and Huda Kattan. Sisters Huda and Mona are known for their powerhouse brand: Huda Beauty, and hit reality show on Facebook Watch: Huda Boss. The Kattan sisters reminded us that not all money is worth having. They consistently turn down multi-million dollar deals if they don’t feel it aligns with their brand. This episode is powerful for any influencer, entrepreneur, or future business leader. We discussed the art of patience when pursuing large goals, and that every delay is a blessing. Huda shared how she was embarrassed to show herself without makeup, but did with the hopes it’d give others permission to as well.

When the teacher was asking about what did you want to be in life and he said happy and the teacher was like what's wrong with you?

0:07.0

But that is so fundamentally important in the time that we live right now where I think that everyone has their own type of happy.

0:14.0

They have their own type of self-fulfillment and it's not like everyone else.

0:19.0

So I definitely think it's really important to kind of understand what it is that makes each person happy and not be so focused on goals.

Thank you so much to everyone who's watching or listening right now. I'm so excited to introduce our next guest.

I was introduced to her content by my sister over six years ago and just remembering being completely captivated by her charisma, her energy and a genuine or an authentic feeling that came through the camera.

And then very recently I connected with her incredible sister Mona who's also been on the podcast.

And then I was just completely amazed that I had this opportunity to reconnect with this incredible human being, incredible person.

1:04.0

And today's the first time we're meeting and I'm getting to interview her and I love interviewing people the first time because I feel it allows us to build a real relationship and bond very quickly.

1:14.0

You almost have to be forced to become best friends. So I'm hoping that's what's going to happen.

1:18.0

Her name is Huda Katan. She is the CEO and founder of Herdabute and starring in of course the reality show that we spoke about on Facebook watch called Huda Boss which I absolutely love.

1:30.0

So Huda thank you so much for this opportunity. It's an honor to be here with you.

1:35.0

No, I'm so grateful that you've taken out the time. I know you're so busy in London, you're launching products, you're here with your family and I genuinely want to make everyone aware we're so fortunate to be with you.

1:45.0

Thank you. This was the most important thing to do here. So happy to be here.

1:50.0

Now you literally are an ascended monotid to you. You're literally a beauty phenomenon. Thank you. And the way you present it through your works, through your videos, through your media is so refreshing.

Gosh, where do you begin?

2:28.0

I definitely think the beauty industry has come a long way and it's funny because I've had conversations around this, especially recently about the fact that one of the things that I think has been missing in the beauty industry and we have a lot of it now.

2:41.0

And the fact that people don't like to show their vulnerable side. And I know you talk about that a lot. You talk about so many things are sensitive to people.

2:50.0

And I think the fact that we really kind of honed in on that we showed strong before and after is when I first started doing my videos doing, you know, some things that were really embarrassing.
