Glam & Grow - Beauty Business Podcast

For the past 15 years, Danielle DuBoise has been at the forefront of the functional nutrition movement, building Sakara into one of the most recognizable wellness brands in the country. She co-founded the company in 2011 with childhood friend Whitney Tingle to reimagine the relationship between food and health. What began as a small organic meal-delivery service in New York has grown into a nationally recognized brand spanning prepared meals, supplements, and functional wellness products. Danielle has helped bring concepts like food as medicine, gut health, plant-forward nutrition, and functional wellness into the mainstream. Her perspective is especially compelling today as wellness evolves beyond restrictive diets and quick fixes toward a more holistic understanding of nutrition, metabolic health, gut health, and longevity. Having watched the industry move from cleanses and detoxes to today's focus on fiber, the microbiome, and personalized wellness, Danielle offers a thoughtful perspective on separating meaningful health practices from passing trends. She would be a strong voice on the future of functional nutrition, the connection between gut and metabolic health, food as medicine, wellness misinformation, and building a healthier, more intuitive relationship with food.
In this episode, Danielle also discusses:
The evolving role of supplements in modern wellness
The powerful connection between gut health, metabolism, and longevity
What food as medicine really looks like in everyday practice
How to separate meaningful wellness advice from the latest trends
Creating a healthier, more intuitive approach to food and nourishment
Ditching process foods and why your brain craves them
How meal delivery service brings peace and gives you your time back

Wizard is reimagining allergy care for people who are tired of the same clinical, one-dimensional options that have dominated the category for decades. Founded by beauty industry veteran Lorne Lucree, Wizard was born from his own lifelong struggle with allergies and his belief that the category could be approached with the same thoughtfulness, innovation, and attention to experience that transformed skincare. After more than 20 years developing products for brands including Clinique, Tatcha, L’Oréal, R+Co, IGK, and ONE/SIZE, Lorne brought that beauty-world expertise into an entirely different aisle. He assembled a team of allergists, scientists, and formulators to develop drug-free, non-drowsy solutions that work with the body rather than simply masking symptoms. At the heart of Wizard is its proprietary Nasalbiome™ technology, informed by research into the nasal microbiome and its connection to whole-body wellness. From colorful nasal sticks to simplified daily routines, Wizard combines science with sensory appeal to make allergy care feel less like medicine and more like modern wellness. Lorne’s vision is simple: allergy relief should work like magic, be backed by science, and actually be something you enjoy using.
In this episode, Lorne also discusses:
Why drug-free allergy relief could disrupt one of the most outdated aisles in retail
The surprising science behind bringing skincare-inspired ingredients to your nose
Why allergies are becoming more prevalent and what that means for modern wellness
Why your nose is your body’s first line of defense and why daily nasal cleansing matters
Taking Wizard to Coachella and building a brand that shows up authentically
The three pillars behind Wizard’s approach: cleanse, relieve, and balance

The Adina Reyter brand was founded on the idea that great jewelry brings happiness and joy. Los Angeles native Adina Reyter grew up immersed in fashion, spending time in the warehouse and showroom of her family’s knitwear label and developing an early understanding of the industry. After working in advertising, she followed her passion for fine jewelry and launched her namesake brand from her apartment with a simple circle choker that would become the foundation of the collection. That original design established the brand’s signature aesthetic: classic, refined, versatile jewelry that feels effortless rather than overly formal. While the collection has expanded and evolved over the years, every piece maintains the clean, timeless sensibility that made the original necklace so distinctive. Adina Reyter’s jewelry is designed to be worn every day, built into a collection over time, and connected to the people, milestones, and moments that make life meaningful. The result is a modern fine jewelry brand that balances understated elegance with a deeply personal philosophy, creating pieces meant to last both stylistically and sentimentally.

In this episode, Adina also discusses:

Bootstrapping the business from day one while working full-time

Her big break, from Demi Moore to Jennifer Aniston

The Groovy Collection, the brand’s signature collection

Launching Adina Reyter’s first-ever collector’s items

How fine jewelry is the apex of art, creativity, meaning, and beauty

Why jewelry is the ultimate wearable investment

Mario Badescu began in 1967 when Romanian-born chemist and aesthetician Mario Badescu opened a small facial studio in his New York City apartment, creating simple, effective skincare formulas tailored to individual skin types. What started as a personal approach to skincare grew into a cult New York beauty brand, built around the belief that good skincare should be accessible, uncomplicated, and effective. In 1984, the Cabasso family acquired the business and has kept it privately owned and family-run ever since, preserving the brand’s original philosophy while expanding it into a global skincare name. Today, Mario Badescu products are sold around the world, while the brand continues to operate its iconic New York salon and formulate products in-house. Joseph Cabasso, the company’s president and a member of the family that has owned the brand for more than 40 years, has helped lead its evolution into a modern, globally recognized skincare business. Under Joseph’s leadership, the brand has focused on reaching new generations of consumers without losing the accessibility, straightforward formulas, and New York heritage that made Mario Badescu famous. His approach has been to grow the business while staying true to what has always made the brand different: effective skincare, approachable prices, and a strong sense of authenticity.

In this episode, Joseph also discusses:

The brand still being family owned almost 60 years later

How a 1960s New York facial studio became a global business in 74+ countries

Growing from a tiny apartment operation to a huge physical operation 

Martha Stewart has been a customer for more than 40 years
