Ladies, gents and every iteration,
Basically all the intelligent, badass beauties....
We are new(ish). It's not my first rodeo. There's a few of us along for the ride who didn't quite realize it is even harder if the vision includes "vertical" rather than horizontal innovation (definition below), and/or knew the ebbs, flows and chasms and called shotgun knowing when a car breaks down on a roadtrip you're either in for a sh*tshow or a fantastic adventure, and business isn't that different.
I may have just realized exactly how I personally describe entrepreneurship: it is a fantastic sh*tshow of an adventure! In this industry, it's a glorious beauty business sh*tshow. Ha! I kinda feel cool right now because I just figured out one of our new hashtags. A variation of a hot mess. New hashtag: #Sh*tShowBeauty. SSB. Sweet, now I can start using SSB instead of Skin and Sky in blogposts.
Moving on....(sorry, got excited.)
This is what we're good at. This is what we know.We're so in love with the brand whose voice is finding itself as we speak, has all the magic of each creative creature involved, is rooted in Beauty, Art + Partnership, committed to doing the most right and the least amount of harm and ultimately, aiming for a seat at the great big business table with the big ol' powers to be, with all of our intelligent, badass wildness, and helping drive a revolution.
MORAL OF THE STORY.... WE NEED YOU, AND THE COMMUNITY AROUND YOU, TO KNOW WE EXIST.
Excuse me, would you kiss the sky...? We'll smooch you right back.

NOTE: I recently listened to an Audible book called "Zero to One" by Peter Thiel + Blake Masters (little dry and aimed more for large corporations, but worthy). A piece that stuck was the concept of vertical vs horizontal advancement. By doing exactly what someone else does or did, in pursuit of financial personal profit without considering the effects on global economic abundance, innovation that creates good for many gets halted. Some people want to be on a yacht regardless of how it affects others. That party sounds lame to me. I like a yacht party with cool people, and would rather be on a raft with people I adore. Brene Brown's book "Dare to Lead" and BBC's Andre Spicer also discussed different perspectives that resonated with how I think of structure, strategy and respect. Ms. Anita Roddick, a Queen in my mind, rebelled against, revolutionized, failed, succeed, sold out, regretted it and shared her vision for changing the world, one bottle of lotion at a time in "Keep It Personal".
