Summary: How important is vulnerability in business? Hello and welcome to Beauty Island, the beauty podcast that celebrates life and lipstick. I'm your host, beauty journalist, Brittany Stewart, and each episode I sit down with a guest to ask them about the 8 beauty products that have a special memory or meaning for them, that they'd take to a desert island, or Beauty Island, that I am sending them off too. Maybe it's the product that reminds them of their mum, the beauty product that defined their teens or the perfume that instantly sparks a memory of a special place or person. Along the way we find out more about their life, career and the people and events that have shaped them into who they are today. Today my guest is Megan Larsen, founder of skincare brand Sodashi. An Australian skincare brand that pioneered premium and organic skincare well before natural skincare became a 'trend', you'll now find Sodashi is in some of the most exclusive spas all over the world. So how did it go from mixing product in Megan's kitchen to the Four Seasons in Paris? Listen on to find out more... Plus, the power of transcendental meditation and the important lessons from her book Startups and Self-care that every entrepreneur needs to hear.
