Summary
Join Ronne Brown and makeup mastermind, Letitia Thornhill, in a raw and uncut conversation about the practice and the grit the 1% have that most don't.
Everyone always mentions the success that comes with taking risk but most wont tell you how to start. Ronne and her guest Letitia discuss the power behind those who started in internship positions, those who "slow-cooked" the journey, and took the time to learn before they deemed themselves the "experts."
