Discovering his passion for cosmetics while working at the mall and having no idea where life would take him, Jerrod Blandino has consistently nurtured his visionary spirit, firmly believing that one can achieve anything with determination. From creating Too Faced Cosmetics, with their iconic product, “Better Than Sex Mascara," to selling the company for $1.45 billion, Jerrod is back launching two new brands, all driven by a profound appreciation for the world's endless wellspring of inspiration. In this episode, delve into Jerrod's fascinating backstory and his creative essence, as he shares insights into launching his new brands Diamond Drunk and Polite Society and his love for creating and evolving existing industries.

In this episode, Jerrod also discusses:

• The stagnant state of the jewelry cleaning industry, virtually unchanged since the 1950s, served as the catalyst for his innovative venture, Diamond Drunk. Jerrod goes into the branding of the brand, the clean ingredients in the product, the potential partnerships in the works, and more
• How the ideals of authenticity, self-improvement, and kindness deeply inspired Jerrod, to create Polite Society – a “bold” clean beauty brand. Some products mentioned are "The Greatest Lashes of All Time'' Mascara, "The B.I.G. Mouth" Lip Plumper, "The More Than a Pretty Face" Foundation", and "The Go Flush Yourself" Blush & Glow Face Palette
• What lies on the horizon for Jerrod in his career, and what we can anticipate in the upcoming releases from both Diamond Drunk and Polite Society
