It's been a minute since the last episode, but the podcast is back! I wanted to touch on some personal topics today, which is why my guest for this episode is the one and only bae. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be a fly on the wall in our home and hear us interact, this is the episode for you. We discuss how we first met, how we keep our relationship strong and how we empower and inspire one another. This is easily my most intimate episode and I'm excited to share it with everyone!

My guest today is Alicia Martinez, a makeup artist and 13 year MAC veteran who I've been following my entire career and a woman who never stops inspiring me and putting a smile on my face. I got the chance to pick Alicia's creative brain and learn what inspires her, what she's loving right now in the makeup world, and got her to share her journey (so far). This was such a fun episode and I guarantee you're going to LOVE it.

For the first episode of 2021, I thought it was time we got back to my favorite topic of them all: ALL THINGS BRIDAL.

My guests and I talk about some makeup tips and tricks, MAC hacks, and we share some inside knowledge on the best Black Friday deals you can scoop up this year.

In 2020, business owners have faced more than their fair share of turmoil during the Covid-19 pandemic. Joining me today is Rich Holmes, founder of Greater Purpose Entertainment.

Rich shares a lot of amazing business knowledge that I think you're going to want to incorporate into your own entrepreneurial pursuits as well!

And for the guys, Maurice Meyers, founder of Yana Medical. I hope you enjoy this business-oriented battle of the sexes as much as we enjoyed recording it!

Joining me today as a co-host is friend of the show - and frequent guest - Jenae Harris! Our guest on this episode is Jazmine Willis, CEO and founder of the makeup brand startup NEO + NOEL.
