This week, I’m joined by Josh Kilmer-Purcell and Dr. Brent Ridge, founders of Beekman 1802, to share how they built a nationally loved skincare brand rooted in kindness and authentic connection.

You’ll walk away with practical insights on leading with kindness, building authentic relationships, and staying grounded no matter where your journey begins.In this episode:How kindness became the foundation of their businessEarly struggles of starting a business during a recessionSharing wisdom and prioritizing collaboration over competitionBuilding authentic, “neighborly” relationships with customers and the communityThe difference between kindness and niceness in businessMeasuring success by impact on people, not just salesThe role of communication and authenticity in building a strong businessHere is my favorite quote from this episode:"We are in the people business.
