Pioneering The Organic Beauty Industry & Building A Resilient Brand With Karen Behnke, The Founder Of Juice Beauty

Today, I have the pleasure of sitting down with Karen Behnke, a beauty industry pioneer and the founder of Juice Beauty. Karen's unwavering commitment to her passion for creating an organic and sustainable brand is the perfect example of success achieved through hard work, perseverance, and a whole lot of creativity. Juice Beauty, recognized by Forbes and Cosmopolitan as the original green beauty brand, has gained global recognition and is now available in major retailers like Ulta and Sephora.

In our conversation, Karen reflects on the early days of disrupting her industry, developing products aligned with her values, and building a thriving brand.

Plus, Karen shares her keys to success as a woman in business in the face of skepticism and doubt.
