Calling all entrepreneurs, beauty professionals, and skincare product fanatics...this is the episode for you! Actually, scratch that. This episode is for everyone. Yes, we discuss the business of beauty, but we also talk about resilience, mindset, and so much more. We spoke with two beauty professionals who are doing a lot more than making it work during a difficult time. They are thriving, going with the flow, and growing their businesses. Join our conversation with licensed estheticians Georgia Nixon, owner of Effortless Beauty Clinic and Dawn Wiley, owner of Canvas Flaire. And don’t worry… they can help you get rid of maskne too!

This week, we continue the conversation about recruiting and remote work. Tamara talks to Karla Porter, Human Capital Advisor and Derek Cotton, Talent Acquisition Manager at Capital Group | American Funds. We covered a lot of ground–how remote work is opening up the talent pool for employers, how job seekers can find the job they want without moving across the country, and the ‘always available’ mentality that has permeated many workplaces. We also discussed the realities of inclusivity & diversity in the workplace (we’ll do a deeper dive in an upcoming episode) and what recruiters say about how to stand out when looking for work. If you have not listened to episode 11, be sure to go back and listen to Pavel’s interview with Maren Kate.

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is switching jobs, or finding the perfect team member for your new startup or established business, this episode is for you. In fact, our panel of experts had so much actionable, tangible advice that we decided to release it in two parts. In part one, Pavel talks with Maren Kate, serial entrepreneur, founding partner at AvraTalent.com, and author of “Going Remote,”  the ultimate guide to finding and landing a fully remote job that you'll love. Maren shares her insights on how to find the right candidate for the right job in the new landscape of remote recruiting as well as how to stand out if you are looking for work, right now or in the future. A true entrepreneur, Maren is so passionate about remote work, she wrote a book about it during lockdown.

Next week, Tamara talks to Derek Cotton, Talent Acquisition Manager at Capital Group | American Funds and Karla Porter, Human Capital Advisor.
