Former-teacher-turned-beauty-brand-founder Holly Thaggard’s sun-safe skincare brand Supergoop! is more than a successful business. It’s also a massive classroom that gives her and her team the opportunity to teach people how to protect themselves from the sun while enjoying life outdoors. Inspired by a friend whose skin cancer might have been prevented by a greater awareness of SPF and sun protection, Supergoops’s mission of “living bright” is not just a slogan -- it’s a way of life. Holly joins Socialfly Co-Founders Courtney Spritzer and Stephanie Cartin in the MouthMedia Network studio for a conversation about building her business and career, and describes her journey to success. Plus, a surprise. 

In this episode, Holly shares the origin of the Supergoop! name, and Holly’s vision to educate the world about safe sun protection; how Holly figured out the path to building a skin care company; how she used social media not only to sell products but to educate as many people as possible; why company culture is essential to the success of her business; how she’s navigated building a business with offices in two states; and, how Supergoop has found a creative way to get people to apply sunscreen around their eyes, where there is more danger than we realize.
