Honey Pot I'd put up there as well.
Monique RodriguezGUEST
So I, I was thinking small.
Monique RodriguezGUEST
But in theory, I thought I was thinking big, right? And it wasn't until I was exposed and I saw other brands that had gone before me, like what they have been able to accomplish, and it was a brand that had a billion-dollar exit, um, Shea Moisture.
Monique RodriguezGUEST
And that, for me, did something to me.
Monique RodriguezGUEST
Like, it lit a fire inside of me because now the light bulb went off and I said, "Oh, like this is something that can actually happen?" So then I started to like ask questions, and I didn't have a mentor per se, but I had mentors that I followed from afar or, you know, we didn't have conversations, but I would just study stories and understand like people's journeys and how they got from point A to point B.

Michelle BreyerGUEST
Um, I worked with Shea Moisture, the, their founder when they were a small company, and they were sold to Unilever for over a billion dollars, and we were the f- first place they ever did any kind of promotion.
Michelle BreyerGUEST
Um, so it was, you know, like, you, you were on that roller coaster with these companies.
Michelle BreyerGUEST
And then I sold the company in 2018 and started mentoring for SKUs, so worked with...
16 MINS LATER
Michelle BreyerGUEST
And, uh, you know, w- I remember I was on a panel at Unilever, uh, because I, you know, we did so much in the curly hair space, and we had this huge market research report we put out, out every year.
Michelle BreyerGUEST
And so the panel, um, it was a whole day with all the marketing people from all their brands like Nexxus and TRESemmé and Dove.
Michelle BreyerGUEST
And, um, there were several of us including, um, well, kind of influencers in the space, and one of them asked, like, "How do we get to be the next Shea Moisture?" And it's like, well, you can buy Shea Moisture, but you can't be Shea Moisture.
Michelle BreyerGUEST
Because Shea Moisture started because the founder, you know, they had these West African, um, recipes from their family, and they sold them at flea markets and then, you know, kind of...
Lisa PriceGUEST
