Hi, everyone. I'm Hilary Kerr, the co-founder and chief content officer of Who What Where,

and this is Second Life, a podcast spotlighting women who have truly inspiring careers.

We're talking about their work journeys, what they've learned from the process of setting

aside their doubts or fears, and what happens when they embark on their second life.

Today on the show, I'm speaking with Leslie Tesler, the founder and CEO of Haney, a body care

brand that has reinvented skin care with innovative, ultra-hydrating products that are easy

to incorporate into any routine. Leslie started her career in fashion at Ralph Lauren, but soon

pivoted into the beauty industry when she became a marketing manager for L'Oreal and later Dr. Dennis Gross

skincare. But after working in such demanding roles for

nearly a decade, Leslie found herself feeling burnt out. She quit her job and booked a much-needed

trip to Argentina to slow down and figure out what she wanted to do next. What was supposed to be

six months turned into 10 years of immersing herself in the country's culture before dreaming up what would become Hanny.

It was there that Leslie came up with the idea for the brand's first two cult favorite products, the weighted razor and the shave pillow.

She finally returned to the U.S. to launch her brand in 2021, and a year later,

Hanny became Sephora's first ever razor partner, and today, you can shop Hanny's range

of body care products in every Sephora in the U.S.

I'm so excited for you to hear about Leslie's journey.

Now, on Second Life, it's Leslie Tesler.

All right, Leslie, are you ready?

I'm so ready.

I'm so excited to be here.

Okay, so we like to start this podcast at the beginning.
