Today, we’re focusing on the topic of style with Naked Beauty host and Chief Content Officer of Refinery29 Brooke DeVard Ozaydinli. She began her career in social media and marketing at companies like Ralph Lauren, Viacom, and Instagram, but eventually built something of her own. To fulfill her desire to speak to women she admired about their approach to beauty and address the lack of representation in the podcast industry, in 2016, Ozaydinli launched her podcast, Naked Beauty. Since then, it has won an iHeartMedia Award for Best Beauty and Fashion Podcast and has released over 350 episodes. Earlier this summer, Ozaydinli also announced her return to the corporate world, with her new post as chief content officer at Refinery29, bringing her podcast with her. On this episode, she talks about the positive and negative impact of social media, advice for those looking to launch a side hustle, and her favorite beauty and style trends right now.

Alli Webb made a name for herself as the visionary behind the blow-dry empire Drybar, and now, she’s stepping back into the world of haircare—this time with an entirely different approach. Her new haircare brand, Messy, which launched in Sephora and online earlier this summer, focuses on embracing your natural hair rather than trying to achieve the “perfect” blowout. The brand’s ethos is directly tied to Webb’s personal journey of leaving perfectionism behind after exiting Drybar in 2020. In this episode, she discusses how she developed the mantra-based product names, why the only thing she’s “anti” is the idea of perfection, and the relationship between Messy and the “clean girl” aesthetic. Plus, we get into who gets permission to be messy in our current culture.
