S30E20: Mary Kay Ash

They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and that's certainly one way to look at the story of Mary Kay, the cosmetics company founded by a woman who'd been divorced and then widowed (and then widowed again) in an era where women weren't exactly welcome in C-suites. But Mary Kay Ash seems to have had some secrets - secret husbands, to be clear - as does the company she founded.
