Laura Coblentz spent 25 years building other people's skincare and wellness brands. Now she’s building her own and it’s a whole different experience.
In this episode, Ethan and Laura get into what a $50 billion category taught her about not marketing to insecurity and why the way you say something might matter more than what you're actually saying. There's a chocolate bar, a duck, and a hard truth about apple trees.
Oh, and stick around for the frog with antlers.
