Carolyn Aronson: From Foster Care to Building a Billion-Dollar Beauty Empire

This week, Yris sits down with Carolyn Aronson, founder and CEO of It’s A 10, to discuss her remarkable journey from foster care to building a billion-dollar beauty empire. Carolyn shares how being adopted at a young age and growing up as a Latina in Detroit shaped her drive, the lessons she learned from a failed business that left her $500,000 in debt, and what inspired her to start over and build one of the most successful haircare brands in the world. She also opens up about succeeding in a male-dominated industry, overcoming setbacks, and the biggest misconceptions about being a billionaire. This is an inspiring conversation about resilience, reinvention, and betting on yourself. See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
