In a world that profits off of women’s insecurities, Carmindy, makeup artist and founder of Carmindy Beauty is empowering women and showing them just how beautiful they already are. As a makeup artist specializing in "no makeup" makeup, Carmindy offers an affordable and streamlined cosmetics line that helps women feel good in only five minutes.

Best known for her role as a makeup artist on TLC’s hit show, What Not to Wear, Carmindy quickly became a household name that millions of millennial women turned to for beauty tips and tricks. Having spent a decade on the show empowering women to feel good about themselves, Carmindy realized there wasn't a brand creating simple, easy-to-use products for busy women. So she decided to do it herself. After a few failed attempts to launch her vision, Carmindy revamped her entire life and found the courage to trust her inner voice. Rather than looking for a fast win, Carmindy is slowly building her brand for longevity based on the sole goal of helping women feel beautiful exactly as they are.

Almost every home cook knows that most recipes begin with olive oil, but most can't tell you which brand or type they use, or if they even use 100% olive oil. This inspired Aishwarya Iyer, CEO and Founder of Brightland, a premium olive oil company, to launch her brand and ultimately revolutionize the olive oil industry.

After innocently Googling "bad olive oil," Aishwarya stumbled across the fraudulent activities taking place in the olive oil industry. As she searched for premium 100% olive oil, Aishwarya knew it was up to her to tell the story of the farms in California producing quality olive oil. With this partnership, Aishwarya created Brightland, a premium olive oil brand sourced directly from the farmers. Choosing to start small, Aishwarya bought just 1000 bottles, which sold out within three days. In six years, she has grown the business to 8 plus figures and forever changed the way people think about olive oil.

More and more research is being conducted around the gut microbiome than ever before, proving what generations of Julie Smolyansky's, CEO of Lifeway, ancestors already knew. The secret to good health and nourishing yourself from within is to drink their sacred recipe of kefir, a cultured dairy product, which has been passed down for over 2000 years.

A child of Soviet immigrants, Julie and her family immigrated to Chicago where Julie's father founded Lifeway in 1986, becoming the first Soviet immigrant to take a company public. After the sudden and tragic death of her father at the age of 55, Julie took over the company at just 27 years old. When she was forced to prove herself over and over again and stand up to those who didn't believe in her, Julie held her head high and knew it was her job to carry on what her father had started. With Julie's leadership, Lifeway grew from $6 million to just under $200 million and is the leading kefir brand in the United States today.

From high school dropout to losing everything, Lori has always found a way to succeed and push past her limits.
