CEO School with Suneera Madhani

Welcome to our Authentic CEOs Series! Starting us is none other than the fabulous Robert Hartwell. Robert Hartwell is an award-winning Broadway performer, choreographer, director, producer, and entrepreneur. He is the host and executive producer of Taking Back the House, a television show presented by OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network, HGTV, and Scott Brothers Entertainment.  From stage to screen, Robert creates jaw-dropping moments that leave audiences awestruck and inspired. You’ve seen Hartwell in Tony Award-winning Broadway musicals and featured in Pharrell and Jay-Z’s hit music video, "Entrepreneur."  You might know Robert from his viral social media post. After purchasing a 200-year-old colonial mansion (which was built back when slavery was still legal Federally in the US), Robert inspired millions with his message of reinvention, liberation, and hope. As a Black gay man, he vowed to fill this home with love, honor his ancestors, tell their stories, and say their names.  Robert just launched his new company Strength On Stages and is the founder of The Broadway Collective, a musical theater education company for teens. The company made the Inc 5000 List for its rapid growth: 440% revenue increase in 3 years. He’s a seasoned educator who understands how to bring out the greatness inside each client – whether they’re a teenager or grown-up. After working with Robert, 97% of his students get into the top musical theatre college programs in the country - with scholarships.  Robert’s work has been featured in countless media outlets including Good Morning America, House Beautiful, Architectural Digest, People, and more.

In today’s episode I am talking to Taran Ghatrora, CEO and Co-founder at Blume, a female founded clean skin, body and period company she created with her sister! Taran is on a mission to destigmatize periods (because, duh, it’s totally normal), and because that’s not enough, this powerhouse is constantly pushing the boundaries for women’s health. The company is taking a new direction focusing on acne fighting skincare products that are already lining the shelves of Sephora and Ulta! During our powerful conversation, Taran shares how Blume was started as a way to boost young girls self esteem as they navigated puberty. She explains how the company has pivoted, the experience of working with high end makeup stores, and why building your business will never be linear (and that’s totally fine!) Connect with Taran: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/taran_smiles/https://www.instagram.com/blume/  Website: https://www.blume.com/ Sign up for the CEO School Experience happening May 16-19: https://theceoschool.co/event/  Join the waitlist for the CEO School course & be first to know when it is available: https://theceoschool.co/ceo-school-waitlist Follow @ceoschool on Instagram for inspiration and exclusive behind-the-scenes you won’t find anywhere else. This episode is sponsored by The Club, a Quarterly box and digital monthly community to help you level up and leadership and life.
