When Lauren “Lo” Bosworth, of "Laguna Beach" and "The Hills" reality-TV fame, noticed that the wellness industry wasn't led by or for women, she took matters into her own hands and launched Love Wellness in 2016. Her bold move to switch lanes and tap into the $4.2 trillion wellness industry paid off—big time! She successfully grew Love Wellness' revenue by 3000%. In this episode, we get down to business with the pivot pioneer to find out how she built a successful company from scratch, what it really takes to be an entrepreneur, and how she’s navigating the shift since COVID-19.  Produced by Dear Media

With so much uncertainty right now, there is one thing that hasn’t changed: as an entrepreneur, betting on yourself is an investment that will have priceless returns. In this week's episode, Jaclyn sits down with powerhouse entrepreneur Gail Becker, Founder & CEO of CAULIPOWER, at Create & Cultivate's LA 2020 conference to talk money, hiring, scaling, and the courage to believe in your idea when others may not. The mother of two boys with celiac disease, Gail was desperate for nutritious food options, and when she couldn’t find any she did what any mom would do—she made her own! In just three years, CAULIPOWER is now a $100 million company with the #1 better-for-you pizza in the U.S. Talk about the power of a frustrated mama!

The spark for a new business idea can come at any moment, and for Sheena Yaitanes that lightbulb moment came while studying chemistry and biology at UC Irvine. Frustrated by the lack of clean beauty products that not only looked good, but felt good on the skin, Sheena launched Kosas Cosmetics out of her Los Angeles home. Today, Kosas is a cult-favorite with celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, Mandy Moore, Lily Aldridge, and more. In this episode, we sit down with the clean-beauty founder to dive deeper into the concept of turning your passion into profit, how she built an empire from her home, and why she went from bootstrapping to raising capital.

When we think of efficiency and productivity, technology immediately springs to mind, but can it heighten our creativity, too? We’re seeing the emergence of new tech that's bringing the human and the digital together and fueling our ability to think creatively in the process. To shed more light on how tech can impact our inclination to innovate, we sat down with Jennifer Downes, executive director for North America marketing at Lenovo, to find out how the two can work in synergy and even amplify each other. Join the party on social @workparty and stay in-the-know at workparty.com.   Visit TheOuai.com and enter code PARTY to receive three free samples with your order.   Guest: Jennifer Downes, Executive Director of NA Marketing, Lenovo @lenovous   Produced by Dear Media

“Don’t talk about money.” We’ve all heard this phrase at least once in our lives but we’re kicking off the new decade singing a different tune. That is, with more transparency and open dialogue around money, salaries, and the notion that women are content with what they’re given—that's simply not true. In this episode, we sit down with Divya Gugnani, CEO and co-founder of Wander Beauty, and serial entrepreneur. This isn’t her first rodeo. In fact, this is her fourth venture so it’s safe to say she has experience when it comes to managing money and business. We dive into fundraising, common money mistakes, the importance of co-founders, and navigating the male-dominated world of venture capital. This episode is knowledge-packed, so grab your notebook and prepare to take notes.
