“The benefit of community is that you can add more voices to the conversation. It’s high time the definition of beauty was expanded”. This line is from Le CultureClub’s website, a community that is working to eliminate the tired standard and create a new culture around skincare and beauty—co-founded by two Harvard educated women —  beauty junkie Lanya Olmsted and scientist Mandi Nyambi. Lanya and Mandi join Socialfly Co-founder Courtney Spritzer in the MouthMedia Network studios for a conversation about their journey to success and building a company from the ground up, along with a surprise and a brainstorm.

In this episode:

  • How Lanya and Mandi have worked to open up digital and in-person spaces for people to discuss skin care
  • How they were scared to quit their jobs but couldn’t ask for investors if they weren’t investing in themselves
  • How they found a way to work together enjoyably despite differences
  • The moment they weren’t sure their business could continue because of a failed product launch, and how they pushed through this setback
  • The challenge of balancing conflicting advice from mentors they admire
  • How an opportunity with the Techstars incubator played an important role in their momentum
  • And the pressure to maintain and carve out time for their own skin care and wellness routines
