If you really want to do something, don’t let what you don’t know hold you back—you’ll learn along the way. It’s about hustle, and going after what you want. And if anyone knows this, it’s Gigi Goldman & Kiana Cabell, co-founders of Kopari (the clean beauty company with a cult following.) After just six years, four of them on the market, Gigi and Kiana have built a business in a rapidly changing industry, and have their coconut oil-based beauty products in some 2,000 stores -- all while also giving back. Gigi and Kiana joins Socialfly Co-Founders Stephanie Cartin and Courtney Spritzer for a conversation about building their business and careers, describing their journey to success, and about how paying attention to a need in a market, going after your dreams, and being willing to find opportunity with industry changes along the way can lead to real success. Plus, a surprise!
