Suzanne LeRoux, founder of One Love Organics®, shares how she went from being a lawyer to building a six-figure beauty brand rooted in resilience and purpose.
She opens up about the plant oil breakthrough that changed her skin (and sparked a movement), the PR moment that brought in 1,000 orders in an hour, and why playing the long game is the secret to her brand’s longevity. This is a must-listen for beauty founders looking for real talk, actionable insights, and the inspiration to create their own legacy.
