Show Notes
My guest this week is John Demsey, beauty brand mogul, and executive group president at Estée Lauder Companies.
John and I discuss what he learned from working retail jobs for a decade, how embracing hip hop’s glamour built MAC Cosmetics, how K-Pop and Tom Ford are getting men to wear makeup, and why hair and makeup are at the core of how people express themselves and how culture is formed.
