110: Beauty, Business & Creating Connections with Cassandra McClure - episode from Eco Glo with Kat

Hello and Welcome back to the Clean Beauty Show, a podcast with a mission to elevate clean and sustainable brands in the beauty, fashion, and lifestyle industry. Through thoughtful and super-authentic interviews we want to inspire you to live a cleaner and healthier lifestyle and to make the world a cleaner and better place.  My name is Doris Sherman and today I’m the new face here on the podcast. Usually, you hear Cassandra McClure on here, who is the founder of this amazing platform, but today we wanted to switch it up a little and talk about something special that’s dear and near to our heart, the Clean Beauty Collective.  With me on the podcast is, of course, Cassandra herself. And while it seems almost selfish to have the person who created all of this as an interview guest, she offers so much experience and insight in this industry, that it would be a loss to kick off this next chapter without talking to the woman who created all of this.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cassandramcclure/message
