87. From Customer to CEO: How Natasha Cornstein Transformed Blushington During a Crisis


Listen Later

Natasha Cornstein didn’t set out to become a CEO—but when opportunity knocked, she was ready with a curious mind, a humble heart, and a killer red lip. In this episode, Kendall Berg sits down with the powerhouse behind Blushington to unpack how Natasha went from skeptic customer to transformational CEO of a brand redefining beauty for all.

With zero experience in the beauty industry and no prior CEO role, Natasha reveals how she prepared for leadership by reading voraciously, staying radically open to feedback, and rejecting the idea of transactional networking. Her philosophy? “Your next hello can be your future.” From navigating a pandemic pivot to launching a franchise model centered on inclusivity, Natasha breaks down what bold-yet-introspective leadership looks like—and why most women underestimate the power of franchising.

Whether you’re climbing the ladder, switching industries, or building from scratch, Natasha’s story is a reminder that resilience, curiosity, and relationships matter more than a perfect résumé.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • How can I transition into a leadership role with no industry experience?

  • What’s the best way to network without feeling fake?

  • How do I know when to pivot my business model?

  • What does servant leadership really look like in practice?

  • How can women get started in franchising?
