002: How Denice Duff Built a Multi-Million-Dollar Empire with Grit and Grace (and a few F-Bombs)


Listen Later

Join us this week as we dive into the inspiring journey of Denice Duff. From the silver screens and camera lenses to the dynamic world of skincare entrepreneurship, Denice's story is one of resilience, reinvention, and real talk. After a successful career as a Hollywood actress (one that's still going) and photographer, Denice pivoted after turning 50 to launch her own skincare line, In Your Face Skincare, revolutionizing beauty standards and emphasizing aging with grace.

In this episode, Denice opens up about the challenges and triumphs of building a brand from the ground up—bootstrapping her way to success without investor money. She shares heartfelt memories of her mother, whose passing became a pivotal moment in her life.

Denice also reveals the strategic choices behind the tough questions many entrepreneurs face: When is it the right time to hire help? Should you wait until you can no longer manage alone, or bring in support early to build momentum? Denice discusses her own experiences with these dilemmas, offering invaluable insights into the pros and cons of bootstrapping versus seeking investors, like Gwyneth Paltrow does even to this day, even though Goop is super successful, and how learning that opened Denice's eyes to even more possibilities.

Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a seasoned business owner, or someone curious about the intersection of creativity and commerce, this episode offers a wealth of knowledge, motivation, and a few well-placed F-bombs—all delivered with Denice Duff's signature grit and grace. Tune in to learn how embracing your authentic path, even later in life, can lead to unexpected and rewarding new beginnings.
