In this episode of the Gamechangers podcast, I’m talking to KJ Miller & Amanda Johnson of Mented Cosmetics, the upscale beauty brand for women of color. As friends who first met at Harvard Business School, KJ & Amanda have so many insights on running a company with a business school mentality. They talk about normalizing the risk of start ups, the importance of product development, why to build a following before your launch, what they've learned from refining 80+ pitch presentations while raising capital, and why you should dream big from day one. Enjoy!
