    I really wanted to listen to the Beekman boys podcast, but there was no audio on the guests side. I tried on multiple devices.

    Great Podcast
    Founded Beauty is a great podcast that brings founders and entrepreneurs to share their beauty brands’ journey and missions. It’s amazing to see how far these brands have come. I would recommend this podcast to anyone interested in beauty or business!

    So informative and interesting!
    I love this podcast so much. It’s so interesting to listen to the journey of these founders and how they gathered the courage and confidence to dive in to a new venture. Specifically listening to the episode with Dr. Raj, founder of TULA, was lovely. I love supporting SA founders to begin with, but to hear her talk about the importance of starting something new while still keeping your day job was a different take than most. Most people quit and give it everything and she did the opposite and held onto her career and also started something new. I appreciate that perspective because it can be scary going head first into something without a fall back so I like that she emphasized the importance of believing in yourself to succeed in a new venture while still making sure you’re protected and secure. Overall a great episode in a long line of great episodes on this podcast!

    Best podcast for beauty lovers
    I am a major beauty brand lover, and this podcast is so interesting to me. I love learning more about the founders and the products from the brands I love. So informative, and a really fun listening experience. Plus, this gets me through the boring parts of my day and makes doing my chores go by faster. Thanks for making such great content!

    The Industry Insiders Podcast I Never Knew I Was Missing!
    I am a long time blogger & content creator within the beauty industry so I have listened to dozens and dozens of different beauty industry podcasts. With Founded Beauty, you are getting such an insiders look into the newest brands, talked about products and industry elite. Very impressed with the guests they have had so far. Bobbi Brown, Shani Darden and Wende Zommir are just a few of the industry giants you can learn from on past podcasts. From someone who knows much about these brands they are speaking about, I am constantly being surprised with new knowledge that is interesting to hear. Forever following!
  • Great Podcast & Products
    Great Podcast
    Love this podcast! The topics are really interesting and I think all beauty lovers will find episodes that they will enjoy. I also love the Fable & Mane product that I’m currently trying. It’s a lightweight hair oil and it’s absolutely wonderful for someone with heavy/thick hair like mine. The oil also has heat protection and wonderful ingredients/scent. I’ve heard wonderful reviews about all Fable & Mane products and so far, I can see why! The quality of the ingredients, packaging, and formula is top notch.
  • CameronMasters
    Lovely show
    Discovered a hair oil that saved my hair! Covered different aspects of products and loved listening to the show!

    Great product!
    I was able to try out their MahaMane Smooth & Shine Hair Oil. I have naturally wavy and frizzy hair. And after just one application on damp hair, I noticed a huge difference after it dried. It toned down the frizz by a lot! The consistency is a little thicker compared to another brand that I have. I didn’t have to use too much to get the result I wanted. I also love the smell because it isn’t too strong but has a nice fragrance. Would definitely recommend!
  • Megs_joy
    Love Fable & Mane!
    This is such a fun and interesting podcast to listen to! I have been loving the MahaMane Smooth & Shine Hair Oil and learning about the thought and attention that went into making it.
  • themisskarla
    Obsessed!
    Such a great podcast! I already love Fable & Mane, especially their new shine oil, so when I saw that Akash was starting this, I was super intrigued! It is amazing to hear from other brand creators and get a better understanding of who they are and why their created their brand.
  • idontwanttoidontwantto
    Love it!
    As Im getting older and more aware of how oversaturated the beauty industry is, I REALLY appreciate this podcast!! Being able to get to know the people behind the brand is so nice. I like to have that bit more of personal connection and understanding. I love the length, the convo and that I don’t have to wait an entire week between episodes!
  • SerrNat

  • Melissa Pate
    A great show!
    I really like how this show gets us deep into the “why” behind brands. I really try to be a conscious consumer, so being able to hear the heart of different founders is so important!
  • rachels reviews
    I love this show
    I love how this show reveals the heart and story behind each brand. It’s really nice to hear how some of my favorite brands came to be and how it all started with an idea or a problem that needed solving. You really do get to hear the passion that drives them and how these entrepreneurs overcome challenges in business. Akash is a great host, love what he’s doing for the beauty community by hosting this podcast.

    As a beauty & lifestyle lover, I’ve tried almost all the brands at Sephora. One of them being Fable & Mane! The founder & podcast host, Akash Mehta gives listeners like me a peek into the beauty industry & their experience running a business. I love learning about the host & other entrepreneurs who are guests on the show. So cool & engaging listen!

    Calling all beauty lovers!
    I’m loving this podcast for more of the inspiration and background work that went into our favorite brands! I’m a skincare addict and I love to hear from the founders of the brand and what drove them to create their companies. I loved the Glow recipe episode and all of the episodes are must hear 💚
  • @lili_addouane
    Fable & Mane - sibling story
    Great podcast and inspiring discussion between Akash Mehta and Nikita Mehta. How to come back to a simple beauty routine by bringing back to life an ancestral tradition based on oil and hair massage. Their adventure in the cosmetic industry is a stimulating and encouraging example of a sincere family business.

    Fantastic
    Loving the format of this podcast. So interesting to learn about the founders of some of my favorite beauty brands! I’m engaged the whole way through!
  • newyorkerglow
    Great platform for genuine conversations
    Love the honest, genuine conversations and learning about the entrepreneurs of our everyday beauty brands. The episodes are informative and I really enjoy hearing the perspectives of the various founders and their journeys!
  • beautyerudite
    Inspiring
    The guest selection is great -founders of Glow Recipe, Bumble and bumble, Saie, Murad, Peace Out, Isle of Paradise, Tower 28- all top rated and hyped brands here! It’s truly inspiring to know the people behind such brands. I’d like to note how good is the host - Akash is a thoughtful interviewer with superb questions and a great skill to let people express themselves. I really enjoyed the episode with Dr. Howard Murad (Murad Skincare). He shares his thoughts on the connection between skincare and healthcare, stress and waterloss; his idea of caring about customers and making them happy. I’ve always been sympathetic to Murad skincare, but after this episode I feel respect and interest towards its founder.

    I’ve been binging Founded Beauty this past weekend and can say I’ve found a new podcast to add to my rotation!

    Learning more about my favorite brands
    As a skincare enthusiast and part time content creator I have not only become obsessed with the products in my collection but learning more about the brand and the creative minds behind it! This podcast is not only convenient as I always have my phone with me and can listen whenever I have down time, but it is also educational. I love to listen when I am working out, going on a morning walk or even doing my night time pampering routine. This platform will create a special relationship with brands and their consumers and I can’t wait to learn more about each of them!
