Priscilla Tsai is the CEO and founder of the skincare brand Cocokind. Before she started her company, Tsai worked on Wall Street as an equity research analyst. She had always wanted to be an entrepreneur, and after years of feeling isolated by the beauty industry due to her acne and sensitive skin, she decided to start her own skincare brand. In 2014, Tsai left her finance career to start Cocokind with the goal of developing simple products that felt like a prestige experience at an accessible price point. The brand quickly gained traction on social media and developed a loyal customer base. Then, in 2019, Target began stocking Cocokind products. A few years later, in 2022, Cocokind launched in Ulta Beauty as well. Today, Cocokind’s products are available at every Target and Ulta in the United States, as well as having a huge retail presence at Whole Foods.

Jenn Lueke, aka Jenn Eats Good, is a culinary creator, recipe developer, and newly anointed cookbook author. She started her now-famous Instagram account while she was in college studying business, finance, and entrepreneurship. During her undergrad, she interned in several related fields that gave her a three-dimensional view of how to bootstrap a business—from market research to angel investing. She pursued a career in finance post-grad, working at the Silicon Valley Bank, where she learned crucial administrative skills in a corporate setting, all while posting original recipes she’d developed while navigating her personal journey with food and nutrition. Lueke finally decided to pursue content creation full-time shortly after she went viral for her “budget grocery” series. Her understanding of finance and money paired well with her simple approach to nutrition, making her a great resource for beginner chefs looking to improve their diets on a budget. Now, she’s taken the next step in her culinary career with her debut cookbook, Don’t Think About Dinner.
