My friend Raymond Cloosterman, Founder and CEO of Rituals, is my guest on this episode of Slo Mo. Raymond founded Rituals, now one of the fastest growing cosmetics companies in the world, in 2000. Like its namesake, Rituals creates product lines inspired by ancient self-care traditions, offering an exclusive range of affordable and quality products that make meaningful moments out of daily routines like bathing, shaving, moisturizing, and drinking tea. Needless to say, Raymond is an incredible entrepreneur with his heart and vision in the right place, and his insights into how to build a successful, and happy business, are invaluable.Nearly 3,000,000 people walk into a Rituals store every week.
