Welcome to Season 2, Episode 11 of the Indie Business Podcast! In this eleventh episode of our Women, Wealth and Wow! series, I introduce you to my friend Lisa Price, the founder of Carol's Daughter. In 1992, Lisa began making lotions and potions in her Brooklyn kitchen, and selling them under the brand name Carol's Daughter, in honor of her mother. Lisa opened her first store in Brooklyn in 1999.
Fast forward to October 2014, when L’Oréal USA signed an agreement to acquire Carol's Daughter, which Lisa calls “her first child.” As you listen to my interview with Lisa, pay special attention to the things she truly values, even after a multi-million dollar corporate acquisition. You'll be inspired by Lisa's definition of wealth and what leading a business does to challenge and strengthen you to be better — not just an entrepreneur, but also as a woman. Enjoy my Interview with Lisa NOW!
