an exceptional team, has created a thoughtful and considered brand, and in Startups & Self-Care teaches us how we can remain passionate about building businesses that matter while sustaining a sense of self along the way.”

“Megan has created a beauty empire out of kindness, compassion, grit and determination in equal measure. Her first-hand knowledge of building a prosperous business has been well-honed over 19 years, but the truly impressive part is that she has achieved success without sacrificing her vision or her values. If you’re growing your own business, or just dreaming about where to start, this guide will act as an invaluable resource, not just for its start-up know-how, but for its advice on how to stay sane and resilient in the process. Think of it as a mentor in your pocket.”

“Back in 2003, as is my wont, I was grilling someone at Sodashi about its ingredients and my questions were so specific that eventually, Megan Larsen emailed me direct. She was the most honest, ethical person I had found in chemical-free skincare, and she still is! This book shares her story and shows you and me how to reach for the stars, without sacrificing our wellbeing in the process.”
