Flamingo Estate’s Richard Christiansen On Living a Fuller Life

In today’s episode, Kate is joined in the MECCA Talks studio by Flamingo Estate founder Richard Christiansen. You may remember their first conversation in 2022, where they spoke about Richard’s journey from growing up in rural NSW to a career in fashion, publishing and advertising in New York – and finally to the COVID-induced ‘pivot’ that led him to turn his L.A. home – Flamingo Estate – into the iconic lifestyle brand it is today.Now, three years later, Richard is back to discuss his new book titled, Flamingo Estate: The Guide to Becoming Alive, featuring stories from the estate and interviews with the people Richard admires most, including Martha Stewart, Jane Goodall and MECCA founder Jo Horgan.Read more on The MECCA Memo:WATCH: Behind The Beauty With Flamingo EstateThe Australian Spots That Feel Like Home To Flamingo Estate’s Richard ChristiansenCult-Status Candles for the Fragrance-ObsessedProducts mentioned:The Guide to Becoming AliveFlamingo Estate Exfoliating Peppermint Soap BrickFlamingo Estate Euphoria Body WashFlamingo Estate Roma Heirloom Tomato CandleFlamingo Estate Tomato Body LotionHost: Kate BlytheProducers: Kerri Gordon & Ruby DevlinEditor: Ruby DevlinLoved the latest episode of MECCA Talks?
