The Arrivals' Jeff Johnson and David Hauser are the creative and business forces, respectively, behind one of fashion's buzziest outerwear labels. Before co-founding The Arrivals, Jeff was working in Amsterdam as an architect and looking for an opportunity to try his hand at clothing design. So in 2014, he linked up with partner Kal Vepuri — and Kal's partner, David — to start a new kind of outerwear brand. Tune in to this latest episode of The Partner Ship to learn how Jeff and David have scaled The Arrivals into an expansive range of new categories, all while doubling-down on their commitment to create experiential retail experiences for consumers across the country.

One tasty bowl of classic breakfast nostalgia, coming right up! Magic Spoon co-founders Gabi Lewis and Greg Sewitz are college friends-turned-business partners who created their low-carb, sugar-free cereals as a modern, guilt-free take on the grocery-store staple. Gabi and Greg—who started and sold another company together before getting into the breakfast business—experimented with recipe development for over a year before launching Magic Spoon last April (with a little help from their PR partner, us at JBC!). Now several months past Magic Spoon's first birthday, Gabi and Greg join this episode of The Partner Ship to discuss their managerial styles, startup savvy and of course, go-to karaoke song.

In 2019, Lindsay Kaplan and Carolyn Childers co-founded Chief, the exclusive network of female executives, with the mission to drive women forward into positions of power — and keep them there. And in just one year since its launch, Chief has grown to 2,000 members and now boasts a 7,000-person waiting list, also closing one of 2019's largest Series A rounds raised by a woman-led company. On this brand-new episode of The Partner Ship, Lindsay and Carolyn let us in on their big vision and even bigger plans to support women on their way up to or already in the C-suite.

M.M.LaFleur's co-founders Sarah LaFleur and Miyako Nakamura launched their women's clothing brand in 2011 — together with adviser Narie Foster — to help women harness the power of self-presentation, and to rethink the shopping process altogether. The business' lightbulb moment came while Sarah was working in finance in both New York City and Paris, during which she dreamed of a more practical and inspired wardrobe for herself and all professional women. But the brand wasn't in motion until Miyako came on board as creative director (via a recruiter!). We're thrilled to welcome Sarah and Miyako to this episode of The Partner Ship to share more about their path to reimagine the workwear category.

Real-life sisters Taran and Bunny Ghatrora launched Blume, the first direct-to-consumer brand focused on puberty, almost exactly two years ago. Their big lightbulb moment came in their 20s, when Bunny was diagnosed with PCOS at the same time that Taran was studying how women and girls often suffer from stigmas surrounding their periods. It was out of this shared experience that they created Blume, with the mission to instill girls and women with self-acceptance of and confidence in themselves and their bodies. Tune in to find out what it's really like to build a burgeoning self-care startup with your sibling.

KJ Miller and Amanda Johnson are Harvard Business School classmates-turned-business partners who created Mented Cosmetics with the belief that every woman should be able to find herself in the world of beauty, no matter her skin tone. Like many entrepreneurs, KJ and Amanda launched Mented right from their living room, bringing their original product line of vegan, non-toxic and cruelty-free nude lipsticks to market in January 2017. The co-founder pair has since raised more than $3 million in funding, making them the 15th and 16th African-American women ever to reach a seven-figure venture-capital deal. Tune into this episode of The Partner Ship to learn how KJ and Amanda have made it happen — and how their brand speaks to the real opportunity and demand for high-end, inclusive makeup.

Matthew Malin and Andrew Goetz launched their namesake apothecary and lab in 2004 with the mission to create simple skincare solutions, formulated with sensitive skin in mind. Matthew and Andrew aren't just partners in business, but also in life: They met the old-fashioned way — at a bar — and the rest, as they say, is history. On the latest episode of The Partner Ship, join us as Matthew and Andrew share how they've scaled Malin+Goetz across categories and into more than 600 retail outlets — and how they've worked hard to separate their shared entrepreneurial lives from their personal ones.

Just two months ago, beauty writers and editors Cheryl Wischhover and Kathleen Hou joined forces to start Donate Beauty, a nationwide movement to bring essential and in-demand beauty products to healthcare workers on the COVID-19 frontlines. When the current health crisis first began sweeping across the U.S., Cheryl, Kathleen and two of their beauty-industry colleagues — writer Caroline Moss and Women's Health Beauty Director Kristina Rodulfo — began working together to act as the intermediaries between brands and hospitals. And to date, Donate Beauty has donated more than 140,000 beauty products to more than 30,000 healthcare workers at more than 400 hospitals. On this episode of The Partner Ship, hear how they've built an efficient and impactful organization with no prior nonprofit experience — all while maintaining demanding full-time jobs — and how they're planning to continue their efforts even as the curve flattens.

The Skimm co-founders Carly Zakin and Danielle Weisberg, college friends-turned news producers-turned roommates, created The Skimm as a news source that spoke to smart, busy people and gave them their news in a way that fit into their routine. Like many entrepreneurs, Carly and Danielle launched The Skimm right from their couch in 2012 when they noticed more and more people coming to them with basic questions about the daily news. What started with an (enormously popular) daily email newsletter has since expanded to include an app, podcasts and more. Carly and Danielle have raised more than $30 million in funding, most recently in a round led by Google Ventures and Spanx founder Sara Blakely. Tune into this debut (!) episode of The Partner Ship to learn about how they've scaled their startup into a bona fide media company — and how they've done so together, every step of the way.
