kate & kate mcleod

today on read receipt i’m talking with kate from kate mcleod, the natural cocoa butter stone company that asks "what are you putting on your skin?" after discovering a career in finance wasn't for her, kate traveled abroad and found her love for cooking. through a turn of events, she'd apply all her knowledge of tempering chocolate into a simple ingredient recipe for smooth skin and self care. it's a product that would land on goop's gift guide its very first year. today we explore the benefits of non-traditional career paths, the value of a good blind email, and how launching a business is like any relationship: it comes with ebbs and flows.
