Our host, Michell Bartlein is just getting warmed up on speaking the needed truth about the beauty industry for leaders.

In this raw and eye-opening episode of Leading Unfiltered, we’re calling out the chaos—because the beauty industry has gone off on tangents that sound good on social media but leave business owners overwhelmed and misaligned. From chasing trendy topics to confusing business strategy, it’s time to reset the focus. We want change in the beauty industry—but how many truly know what that looks like? And how many are willing to say the hard things to get there?

Join me as I walk through what the order of operations should really be—from mindset to money to marketing—and why Business 101 isn’t just optional, it’s the foundation. If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the things and still not growing, this is your wake-up call. Let’s clean up the noise and lead with clarity. Unfiltered, of course.

Welcome to an unfiltered conversation about one of your most underestimated superpowers—your time. In this episode of Leading Unfiltered, we flip the script on traditional productivity and dive into how time isn’t something to manage—it’s something to reclaim.
