Welcome to WorkParty: The Founder Files, where I chat with inspiring entrepreneurs about their journey to building their business. We’ve all heard the shiny founder stories – This is not that. We talk high highs, brutal lows and the secrets to success that got them to where they are today. Tactical, tangible and chock full of takeaways. On this episode, we are diving in with Allison McNamara,  journalist-turned-founder and CEO of the cult beauty brand of MARA. Clean, award-winning, and recently launched in over 250 doors at Sephora, MARA is a heavy hitter in the beauty world and Allison is the real deal. Take a listen as we get deep on topics like launching your brand at Sephora, while also bootstrapping your business (no easy feat!), Mara’s tech stack and secrets to success, and the power of female friendships in the beauty biz.   RESOURCES:
