We’re back to new episodes starting this week (yay!) and we’re beyond excited to have the lovely Cayli Cavaco Reck, skincare entrepreneur and founder/CEO of Knockout Beauty, a full-service beauty business that is focused on conscious beauty for the modern-minded. Cayli has always been always dealing with some kind of skin issue throughout her life. As a teenager, Cayli struggled with acne and the medication that she was put on to resolve her skin issues sent her into a state of emotional turmoil. Then in her 30s, she was battling melasma after a laser procedure went awry. After years of battling and overcoming her skin issues, she wanted to share her personal skincare journey and everything she learned with women everywhere. As a side project, she started an IG account called “Knocking on Forty”. She immediately struck a chord with followers and garnered a large community of women who were looking for a more holistic approach to skincare. A year later, Cayli completely switched careers and launched her first brick-and-mortar store... and the rest was history. She now has a successful direct-to-consumer business as well as retail locations in both NY and LA. In today’s episode, Cayli talks about the connection between mindset and success, her approach to cultivating an abundance mindset, the value in being disciplined as an entrepreneur, the power of small changes, and some of the foundational wisdom that she has drawn from various mentors over the years (including her powerhouse parents!).In this episode, we'll talk to Cayli about:* Exploring the link between mindset and success.
