She Co-Founded IT Cosmetics from her living room and wasn’t able to pay herself for the first three years, while hearing countless Nos from retailers and investors, and working 100+ hour weeks hustling to keep her dream alive. Her passion for her mission, unremitting perseverance, belief and hard work led to her turning every No into an eventual Yes. Jamie grew IT into a top-selling makeup and skincare brand, then sold it to L’Oréal for $1.2 Billion cash, in their largest US acquisition to date, making Jamie the first female CEO in L’Oréal’s 100+ year history. I am so freaking excited that you are here today for this interview with Jamie Kern Lima.

I don’t think it’s wrong.”  “If you’re someone getting told no, you’re someone doin’ something!”  “I don’t know anybody who has built anything that matters & anything that lasts, without working really really hard… don’t give up.”    Resources: Hey girl, have you joined our email list yet?
