Lili Reinhart: Actor, Producer, and Founder of Personal Day Skincare 52:07

Lili Reinhart is an actor, producer, and founder of the skincare brand Personal Day . She knew she wanted to be an actor from a young age and spent her tween and teenage years auditioning, self-taping, and begging her parents to let her finish schooling online so she could concentrate on her craft. At 19, she was cast as Betty Cooper on the hit CW show Riverdale and spent the next seven years in a nonstop filming and production cycle. During this busy period of life, she still found time to pursue outside projects, publishing a book of poetry in 2020 and founding a production company. When Riverdale ended in 2023, it allowed her a moment to pause and consider what she wanted to work on going forward. Since then, she’s been developing projects with her production company that ignore the mainstream in favor of tackling topics like mental health. She’s taken on a few acting projects, like the TV series Hal & Harper , which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival last month. She also spent two years developing her skincare line, Personal Day, which launched this past fall and has been receiving great reviews for its nonirritating formulas and effective solutions for acne-prone skin.

Caroline Chambers: Author of What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking and Recipe Developer 54:28

54:28

Caroline Chambers is an author, recipe developer, and the creator of the popular Substack and cookbook What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking . Caroline began her career in advertising in New York City, and to make ends meet, she also started a floral design business, delivering flowers across the city by cab. After a few years, she felt like the city—and the advertising industry—wasn’t for her. When her boyfriend (and eventual husband) relocated to San Diego for work, she took the opportunity to join him and resolved that, when she did, she’d also pivot to an industry she was truly passionate about: food. Over the next few years, she worked in catering, restaurants, test kitchens, and more, before finding her niche as a freelance recipe developer. She then began to grow an audience on social media, which culminated in the launch of her Substack What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking in 2020. Readers loved her quick, delicious, unfussy recipes, and her community grew quickly. Today, she has over 409,000 subscribers and is the #1 Food & Drink Substack. Last year, she expanded her culinary universe even further by publishing the What to Cook When You Don’t Feel Like Cooking cookbook.

Marissa Vosper: Co-Founder of Negative Underwear 59:23

Marissa Vosper is the co-founder of the cult-favorite intimates brand Negative Underwear . She studied political science and Spanish in college and started off her career in brand consulting. Vosper worked at two prestigious global branding agencies, learning the ins and outs of building a successful brand identity. But after eight years in the industry, she knew it wasn’t where she wanted to stay. She and her college friend—and eventual co-founder—Lauren Schwab began to think: What if they could pursue careers in fashion, an industry they had always loved but never felt was accessible or possible for them? They began taking classes at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) and soon realized that the lingerie industry was ripe for disruption. After four years of research and development, they launched Negative Underwear in 2014—a line of high-quality, minimalist intimates without all the bells and whistles that were popular at the time. The brand was an instant hit; their first run sold out in two weeks. Over the last 10 years, Marissa has grown the brand without any outside investment, expanding into new categories like sleepwear and loungewear.

Lopinsky studied government at Harvard, where she launched Boston Foodies , an Instagram account showcasing the city's best restaurants.

After graduation, she worked in business strategy and analytics at Arnold Worldwide, a global ad agency, and Popcart, a small start-up.

Eventually, they teamed up with another co-founder, Chris Tinsley, to create ShopMy. The platform launched in 2020 and quickly became invaluable to both creators and brands through its sophisticated affiliate network. Lopinsky and her co-founders have continued to refine and expand the platform, creating new programs that allow creators to have a steady income from brands and helping brands connect with creators who genuinely care about their products.

Gwen Whiting is the co-founder of The Laundress and founder of the new private members cleaning community The Fill Club . Gwen studied textile design in college and started her career at Ralph Lauren working in women’s and home design. As she began to grow her high-end work wardrobe, she grew frustrated with the lack of high-quality, effective cleaning products available. She realized there was a huge white space in the laundry category and knew she could do something about it. In 2004, she launched The Laundress with her co-founder, and over the next 15 years, grew the company without any outside investment. The Laundress came to be known for its excellent products and elevated design. In 2019, the company was acquired by Unilever, a move Whiting hoped would help bring its products to a global audience. In 2021, she left the company, and in 2022, watched in shock as The Laundress recalled all of its products due to elevated levels of bacteria. Before the incident, she had no desire to ever return to the laundry world, but after observing the scandal from the outside and realizing how much she still wanted to help her core customer base clean better, she decided to get back into the laundry game. The result is her new venture, The Fill, a private members cleaning community and collection of sustainable cleaning solutions.
