8 Failed Businesses Before Kitsch’s Beauty Empire

How did a married couple with $30k in savings and no business plan build one of the biggest beauty and accessories brands in America? Cassandra Thurswell (Founder & CEO of Kitsch) and Jeremy Thurswell (COO), join hosts Mike Beckham and Matt Bertulli for their first-ever joint podcast interview. Together, they unpack the full story of building a bootstrapped empire from a living room apartment to over 30,000 retail doors and more than 10 million ecommerce orders. Cassandra and Jeremy open up about eight failed businesses before Kitsch, catching their manufacturer stealing IP on their “honeymoon” in China, and navigating a terrifying pivot that led to 70 million face masks. They share how they’ve protected their marriage while running a company together, the reality of balancing motherhood with being a CEO, and why scarcity — not funding — created the focus that made Kitsch unstoppable. Learn more about Latinas in Beauty, where Cassandra serves on the Advisory Board: https://latinasinbeauty.org  Operators Titans is brought to you by AppLovin.
