Join Erica Anderson and Ingrid Nilsen, co-founders of The New Savant, as they delve into their transformative journeys from tech and beauty to the fragrant world of artisanal scents. They discuss launching their brand during a pandemic, the significance of creativity and community, and the deep cultural connections to fragrances from their childhood. The duo also reflects on balancing romance with business, the power of advocacy in tech, and the importance of self-awareness in personal and professional growth.

Today we welcome Ryan Babenzien on the show. He’s a visionary entrepreneur who has revolutionized not one, but two industries. First, he took the footwear world by storm with Greats, the first digitally native sneaker brand, which he successfully sold to Steve Madden. Now, he’s making waves in the beauty and wellness sector with Jolie Skin, a brand that’s redefining how we think about water purity and its impact on our skin and hair. Ryan’s journey from managing clients at ICM Partners to founding and scaling two groundbreaking companies is nothing short of remarkable. In this episode, we’ll dive into his entrepreneurial journey, the challenges he’s faced, and who Ryan, the human, is behind all the successes.Jolie website: https://jolieskinco.com/Jolie IG account: https://www.instagram.com/jolieskinco/Ryan’s IG account: https://www.instagram.com/ryanbbabenzienThank you to our sponsor dash.fi!Dash.Fi provides businesses with a card product that allows you to scale your advertising campaigns: Daily limits up to $3M a day Flawless card authorisation due to our Mastercard backing.

Say More is a podcast that delves into the 'why' behind successful entrepreneurs and creators. We believe true success stems from aligning personal passion, skills, and goals with your business, not just tactical execution. In interviews, we go beyond just building a business to explore the hearts and minds of founders, builders, and creators to prove our hypothesis and establish the throughlines of success and longevity.Follow us on Instagram @thesaymorepodcastFollow us on Tiktok @thesaymorepodcast
