Lauren Conrad ended up on one of the world's first major reality TV shows at the tender age of 17. Since then, she's grown into the cunning, experienced entrepreneur you know today. According to her, she wouldn't be where she is now—a New York Times best-selling author eight times over, designer of her own fashion line LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's, and philanthropist behind the non-profit The Little Market—without the mistakes she made along the way.

Shereene Idriss, MD, is on a mission to demystify the world of dermatology and skincare. Back in 2018, Idriss felt frustrated by the rise of misinformation online surrounding skincare and decided to set the record straight. With her background as a clinical dermatologist, she began posting educational Instagram Stories from her bed, and soon, a follower aptly dubbed her the PillowTalk Derm. Today, Idriss’s influence in the skincare world is threefold. Since graduating from her seven-year medical program, she’s amassed an audience of over 3 million people, opened her own dermatology practice, and created a skincare line called Dr. Idriss, which just launched at Sephora.

In a world where shopping integrations and #sponsored posts dominate our social feeds, it can often feel like the rapid onslaught of trends and aesthetics is homogenizing personal style and killing creativity. Who What Wear assistant shopping editor Ana Escalante recently dug into the topic of style fatigue (check out the full story here!), and today, she joins Editor in Chief Kat Collings to discuss the big, bad algorithm and how it's impacting personal style. Escalante tapped a couple of fashion insiders to get their takes, so you'll also hear clips of her conversations with style curator and writer Heather Hurst (@pigmamiii) and Saks Fifth Avenue fashion coordinator and writer Jalil Johnson (@jalil_johnson_).

As a child, Nidhi Kapur constantly repainted and redecorated her bedroom, but she never thought that she would actually pursue a career in the design industry. In fact, after graduating college, Nidhi worked at major companies such as McKinsey & Company and Google before landing a role as the director of business development at the beauty subscription-box company Birchbox. But when she bought her first apartment and began the interior design process, she quickly recognized a lack of accessible and convenient custom furniture companies in the market. Soon after, she combined her longtime love of design with her deep knowledge and experience in business development to create industry disruptor Maiden Home.
